Post by: Mr. Gundam on May 28, 2014, 04:35:10 PM: I got a ticket for the Seattle one. Might have a couple beers beforehand and show up in the hopes the free stuff is awesome.

Post by: a slime appears on May 28, 2014, 07:43:11 PM: Yes, going to a theater at 9 at night to watch a live broadcast of a bunch of middle-aged business men try to sell me their gadgets while I'm surrounded by gaming's "elite" sounds like a great use of my time.

I'll go if my friends want to though, lol.

The Seattle one isn't very far from one of my favorite beer bars, so I'll have a pint or two at the Pine Box and then walk on down to Pacific Place. Starts at 6pm out here on the west coast, so I'll be home by 8:30pm.

Post by: a slime appears on May 28, 2014, 07:53:12 PM: More power to you if that's your plan. It's not how I would spend my night though.

Of course even though I post this I wouldn't be surprised if one of my buddies ropes me into attending this debacle anyways.

Playing N64 is apparently how I spend my nights it seems. :fbm

Post by: Mr. Gundam on May 28, 2014, 08:37:56 PM: I didn't ignore it! We need to figure something out.

In reality, I'll probably realize sitting in the theater is a dumb idea and end up not going. And then kick myself when thy give something really cool for free. :-)

Post by: Himu on May 29, 2014, 12:47:45 PM: What's the point of E3 without sharing the wallowing pit of despair that is modern AAA gaming with your fellow gamers?

Post by: G The Resurrected on May 29, 2014, 12:51:19 PM: And you get a Vita and you and you... /Oprah

So that's how they'll get rid of the left over Vita's. I'll be going to the one nearest me up in San Fransisco. I kind of wish I was going this year, but next year I'll be in a better place to do that.

That's why the bore is perfect for E3. A bunch of crusty buttholes complaining, and bitching through jadedness.

Remember when that goblin man was named Maurice? Good times...

That's what I'm thinking. If they can't state what the gifts are (I guess for supply reasons) it isn't worth the 45min-1 hour commute five towns over to do this thing/suffer other people for it. :-\

I knew what I was getting myself into. Dinner and beers afterwards on Capitol Hill was worth it.
