So Long and Thanks for All the Swag
So it's done been over and burned me out.
I've been collecting myself up and getting caught up on things I missed while I was off in LA. I have to say it's getting pretty easy to stay connected. Even though the free e3 wifi was perpetually overloaded (and I wasn't about to pay $25/day for the convention center wifi), there was free access at nearby places and at the hotel. I found it easy to hop on, do my stuff, and get off. The tough thing was finding the time. There is just so much to see and do at E3 that you're perpetually pulled in all directions. It's the emporium of ADD.
So I found that there were a whole lot of things to "come back and see later." There's just not enough later.
After the expo was over, we spent the next couple of days seeing the beaches and taking piles of pictures. I found that I'm not as bad a photographer as I thought - taking pictures in broad daylight is a lot easier than on the dark floor of E3.
I hit L shift O t’the quote and then Dollar

Okay, this is my last set of photos from Friday at E3. I actually put them up the other day, but here's are the highlights.
Game Infinity Presentation
The whole next whack of pictures that I've got up come from the Game Infinity display. I'm sure that I over did it, but they were some talented performers. The Game Infinity display is set up to promote several Korean companies, and it definitely attracted a large crowd. Basically it was a troop of five breakdancers that burned more calories in about fifteen minutes than I have all week.
New Game Screen Shots from Friday at E3
More Pictures from Thursday at E3
Okay, so I'm a little less than creative with the titles, but here are the last of my pictures from Thursday afternoon at E3. I know a lot of them are not coming out as clearly as I'd like, but I'm doing my best to post them here as fast as I can after they're taken. That's also why you're not seeing a lot of description to go with them yet. If there's enough interest, I can give a lot more of my opinion on the games pictured here.

E3 in a Whole Lot More Pictures
More pictures from Thursday at the Electronic Entertainment Expo. This time you might find a couple shots of my lunch & whatnot. Oh, and some booth babes.
Cooler than that though, you'll find screenshots from the upcoming Ratchet game - Ratchet Deadlocked, Spartan: Total Warrior, and Spy 3. Some of the Spy 3 shots are from 3D levels, so put on your 3D glasses and see how they look. All those are for Playstation 2.
E3 in Pictures
Got in late last night, what a painfully cramped flight. It was well worth it though. I love Los Angeles and E3 is on. Sitting in the Fusion Cafe, we're moving all the pictures off of our cameras on to the notebook. I haven't got any time to sort them out, but I took plenty of screenshots of new games. We saw mostly PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube titles this morning. We played the new Mario DDR, Madagascar, Donkey Konga 2, We Love Katamari, all on Nintendo.
T-Minus 5 Hours for LA
I made a quick change to my video game news page - it's hard to keep up with everything pouring out of E3 right now. All the big console stuff is out there, next will be the hands on experiences and the new titles coming out.
The good news for me is that I get to take part in that hands on experience.
Nintendo Finally Lays it Out
There's some pretty huge coverage of the Nintendo press conference over on Engadget but what I'm interested in first is the nuts and bolts of the Revolution.
E3 Coverage Delayed
Wow, sounds like there are some technical problems at the LA Convention Centre (where E3 is hosted). GameSpot's coverage is offline, saying instead "Unfortunately, the Los Angeles Conevention Center is currently experiencing a partial power and Internet outage. " Looks like they should be back up soon. I hope they've got it sorted out before I get there tomorrow morning.
