After 24 hours of infrequent and often slow internet access, we’ve finally got everything running smoothly, at least when we’re not at the convention center. I just finished posting the extraordinary amount of pictures we took today, so be sure to check them out. We shour have a bunch of overviews of games played and seen today sometime soon.

They just cut the power, so I think they want us to leave…everything from today will be posted later. For now, half of today’s pictures are up.

Well, the show floor closes in a few minutes so Vince and I are back at the media center trying to get everything from today posted before the media center closes down for the day. I’ve got a good 300 pictures or so to post, so hopefully all of those will be processed by the time management kicks us out. Of course, since the media center is jam packed we’re in the corner on the slow and overloaded wireless, so this could be tricky.

Unfortunately I’ve been unable to get the wirelss on the show floor to work on the PDA so I’m writing this while waiting to see spore and won’t be posting it until later. So far today has been amazing.
The PS3 is great to play, and I really enjoed a flight combat game for it. Being able to control the plane by moving the controller around worked amazingly well.
Upcoming PS3, XBox 360, and PC games all look incredible, especially Gears of War and Prey. That’s all I can get myself to type into this PDA, and we should be seeing spore soon, so I’m out…

Besides the rough plane landing, LA has been pretty cool so far. The flight arrived at 11:20pm PDT, and we found our way to our lodging by 1:15. After a lovely 5 hour nap, we strolled down the 1.5 mile walk to the convention center and picked up our media badge holders. Now it’s time to play the waiting game until the floors open up at nine…

As Rodzilla mentioned in an earlier post, I will be serving as another representative for Seriously! at E3 this year. Like my friend, I hope to explore and describe as many interesting facets of the expo that I can in just three days. Unlike my friend, my posts may appear to be generalized, abstract, and vague at times. Why? Well, I haven’t exactly stayed on top of current technical gaming news. In fact, the latest development I remember reading about was the implementation of the FX chip in SNES’s Star Fox back when I still subscribed to Nintendo Power.
Despite this, I’m still psyched to be attending E3 this year. I enjoy gaming as much as any other kid attending a toolish engineering school, and it’s going to be great to check out all the new stuff coming out this year. The playable PS3 and Wii games look extremely promising. Also, as a former Red Alert aficionado, I can’t wait to check out Command and Conquer 3. I even hear that Square Enix will be showing off Final Fantasy XIII. And if somehow I get bored with these and the other games I will be covering, I can always chill out with Adam West during his autograph sessions…awesome. I can’t think of a better way to spend three days.

The layover in Atlanta wasn’t too bad, though it was a bit weird being within 20 miles of where I grew up. This flight to LA is beginning to get a bit long…it’s a good thing the pilot said we’ll be taking a shortcut, whatever that means.
The whole time-travel thing due to the 3 hour time zone difference is a bit odd as well. This turbulence is making it rather difficult to type so I suppose I’ll try and get some sleep.

3:03 PM. That’s close enough to on-time. A good 10 hours or so of travel time including a lay-over in Atlanta and then a few short hours of sleep and BAM, E3 bright and early in the morning.

Nintendo Wii will have 27 games playable on the show floor tomorrow. Holy crap. Tomorrow’s going to be crazy in the West Hall. Borrowing this from another site…I feel sorry for the carpet in between Nintendo and Sony’s booths. It’s going to get TRAMPLED.

I’ve been dying to talk about this idea since I thought of it the other day, as personally I think it’s quite hilarious and rather interesting. I’ll be dressing up as Waldo (from “Where’s Waldo?” of course) for the entire first day of the E3 Expo. Not only that, but we’re having a contest for people to find Waldo in pictures from E3. It should be a good time, and I hope some other gaming sites pick up on it and support us, as it could really be fun for people to take part in.
I’m really curious as to what people’s reactions will be on the show floor and in meetings, though…
