1. Because I have no friggin clue where you guys are.
2. Because I barely know where I am (I'm just tagging along with a group of 5)
3. Because I don't have a ride anywhere.

mmmmm, booth ladies.

Actually, there is one booth where that cannot be denied on any level. It's for "Rumble Roses" by Konami.

The booth is SERIOUSLY just this:
You wait in line.
You walk up into a miniature wrestling ring.
You stand in the corner and 2 girls dressed up as the 2 main characters of the game come up and pose with you while a professional photographer takes your picture with his super camera of doom.

I can only assume that you're supposed to buy the pictures from them. Personally I was appalled by the impersonality of taking such a photo. I mean, they don't know you, you don't know them, and they're not famous in any sense of the word (I even deplore taking pictures with famous people unless you at least chat with them a bit first).

But yeah, hot women to stare at everywhere you turn.

DOOManiac · May 2004

Dude.. I don't care if you hate X-Boxes.. at least go LOOK AT doom 3... I mean, you're nuts if you don't.

Same thing w/ the HL2 booth. You're nuts if you don't go see it. Nuts I tell you.

[WHO]Them · May 2004

Checking in again. I don't have a time breakdown since I never bothered to look at my clock very often, but here's the highlights.

Saw a preview of DarkWatch....sucked. There's really nothing special in this game so far except some cool looking guns and a vision mode change.

Played The Getaway 2....sucked. At best it was trying to be a GTA3/VC clone, and it surpassed it in graphics but fell amazingly short in every single other category. Even driving around just hitting pedestrians wasn't any fun.

Played MGS3, pretty fun. I'm not a particularly avid MGS fan, but I didn't see anything that **** me off about the game.

Played Burnout 3......O..M...F...G..... Playing this game makes me wish I had heard about Burnout 1 and 2. It's being put together by some company under EA Canada. They literally figured out everything that a racing game fan wants in a racing game, and totally succeeded in integrating that into a new title. The easiest way to explain this game is that the most ruthless and badass driver is always rewarded with turbo fuel so that he/she can be more badass.

Played State of Emergency 2.... meh, I never played the first, so I have nothing to compare against.

Played Predator. Would have been hella fun if I could ever remember all the controls. It was on a PS2 and every button (including each direction on the d-pad) did something different.

Played Starcraft Ghost. If it were put on it's own and not associated with the Starcraft name, then I would give this game a solid 8 out of 10, so take that as you will. I only got to play for like 4 minutes of an infiltration mission before it crashed on me.

Played ATV Offroad Fury 3, nothing special.

Played more Tribes: Vengeance, and it's still cool as long as they fix the friggin inventory station setup.

I probably would have been able to talk about more games if I hadn't gone back to play more Burnout 3, but alas I did, I spent like 3 hours at that booth playing that game, it's just that amazingly cool. I actually ended up playing against some of the devs in canada in a couple online games, and totally smoked them in 3 out of 4 races.

[WHO]Them · May 2004

while I'm waiting on Josh to put his pictures online, here's a video he shot of people finding out just how long the "Express Registration" line was. (And if you watch it... yes, the line goes FAR beyond the corner where your line of sight ends).

It's comedic gold, I swear.

My thoughts exactly.

[WHO]Them · May 2004

Seriously people, just play 2, it looked pretty similar, but in the jungle.

Now go research Burnout 3, it's just that awesome.

not that I saw.

I spent the entire 3rd day playing Burnout 3 (I'm serious people, it's that good), except for a little detour first thing in the morning to see the hl2 video.

Burnout 3 took it's place as best thing to spend my time doing. Tribes: Vengeance is still really cool, but Burnout 3 was just all around an awesome game.

Burnout 3 uses the Havok 2 phsyics engine.

I've played Burnout, and it was pretty cool.

My friend Shai played Burnout 2 on the last day of the show after it was all over and he had tried Burnout 3.

We both agreed that Burnout 2 sucked by comparison, so if anyone is a fan of the older ones, this one is a huge step up in the coolness factor.

Delarosa · May 2004

i wonder if there is a market for scalped tickets to E3...

i could have gotten some (i've got a gamespy hosted website...) but knew i wouldn't be able to make it down....

maybe i should have sold them on ebay?

[WHO]Them · May 2004

Yeah, there is, but not a very big one. I met a guy down there who payed $20 for a pass.
