Toss another hat in the "E3 rocks" pile. I rank E3 week just slightly below Christmas on my "favorite times of the year" list. Yeah, it's wall-to-wall work, but it's always worth it. There's just something about walking into one of the halls and being surrounded by interesting things (I obviously exclude Kentia Hall here). I've gone to every one for 8 years running, and I will never miss an E3 in my lifetime if I can help it.
