Yeah, it was worth a try.

I'm an EBX employee... does that count? :-P

Actually, I think it does.

In Bahn's defense, we had a difficult enough time getting all of our own people in last year.

For EB/GameStop/Etc employees, I believe you need clearance from corporate to go in their name. At least that is what I have heard.

One question: when you guys hung out did you refer to each other by your screennames here or by your real names? The small talk you guys had about Kenshin above implies the former. If it is, count me out of anything you guys got planned. Thats too geeky and unnerving for me.

We generally tried to use our given names, but with all the new people around we often slipped into usernames. But we weren't proud of it.

We were as a whole a lot less geeky than expected.

Ah that Quality Inn is like my home away from home as I have stayed there the last three e3's...it's nice enough inside for me to tolerate the semi-shitty neighborhood that it's in...screw paying for a nice hotel...I rather waste my cash on booze and strippers instead BTW That Korean BBQ place is the greatest...Almost beats me and my friends yearly trek to Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles

That Quality Inn sucks. Get a cheaper place in Hollywood and spend the $2 a day on the metro.

Hey I got a question, if I've been into gaming for two decades and I'm working at a processing plant, where does that put me on the attendence list?

I'm really thinking this show is being racist towards who can and cannot go btw...

Racist? What the fuck are you talking are you talking about?

[Jeremy]

Racist? More like slightly selective to avoid the insanity of the early-90s trade shows that were open to the public.

Thank you, Jeremy, you are on my "List O' People Who Is Cool". E3 is bad enough as it is for crowds, no need in making it worse. The last day, however, is intolerable with all the little brats running around, just 'cause their daddy is a big shot at some company.

[Jeremy]

Wow, I be cool.

[Lordmrw]

Damn, it looks like I won't be going until I get into the industry someday. Ah well.

that sounds like a good idea. I'm also tempted to taunt the show sponsers after the event is over and make off with any info I can get my grubby little hands on!

..now I have to decide if I want to go.

Screw the info, man. Every gets to know it soon enough. It's an experience... with freebies! Bring extra luggage if you go...

[Shinobi128]

You bet I'll be there. I had too much fun last year.

And for the record, burgundy is a completely different person in real life.

[DHG Otaku]

I'll be there...it's not E3 if Otaku doesn't attend as we all know! :P Fuck, this year I'll definitely have to hang with Shinobi128 (whom I somehow missed last year) and Lucas and shmmmmmmmoke a bowl or two or three. And while I'm on it, wtf Lucas, I think it would be pathetic considering we're both in SoCal if we haven't hung out at least a couple times by the time E3 rolls around. Get yo ass down to my pad with MVS u bitcher! :P By that time my film should be done so I'm expecting you all to go out and buy it, I'm pimpin' TNL in it too!
