YEaaaahhhh that E3 thread is getting super obnoxious with armchair theorists.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Truly surprised GAF used to get media badges for E3 in the past.

[Ricky Ricardo]

Awww yiss, got my first accusation of hatred against SonyGAF! or rather, propagating the myth of SonyGAF.

Either way, I guess you could say that I've arrived

People with no connection to the gaming media or industry get in all the time. Shit, a friend from Universal asked me if I would be in town to go with her this year.

Sitting in a coffee shop getting work done (because I know I won't do it if I make it home) and I now have to turn my earphones up to MAX because I'm sitting next to two of the most privileged-yet-dumbasfuck people on the planet.

"You know, I think a major problem with people is that too many people are willing to settle for just ANY job, and not THE job. I just refused to work until I found something that I was, you know, really passionate about..."

"Oh, law school..."

What a great idea. I don't know why I never thought of that...

There's a point in there somewhere.

In this sense GAF=Evilore.

That's why shit is getting tightened up. Hell, there were scalpers selling E3 tix outside the venue last year.

he'll probably go anyway

whats the big deal

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

I can kinda understand the appeal to go as a fan.

But dealing with all that bullshit, the lines, the heat, the smell, the people...unless you have a job to do it just seems like you're making it worse for people there who need to get things done and cover the event for the gaming public.

They did it to themselves. The industry makes E3 seem like some big party instead of some boring ass conference.

Superbowl of the industry. Totally understandable.

Truth be told, if you've been to E3 more than 3 times, it is probably boring unless new hardware is dropping. Sure, some parts of it are boring. Covering it as press is gruelling (assuming you are actually doing some work)

But it is also an opportunity to catch up with peeps you haven't seen in ages, network, etc.

Not to mention smanging booth babes

They still have those?

 

[Gorillaz]

I heard e3 is rough as hell. Nothing but interviews back to back, long ass lines to get in to a 5 min demo and cramped areas.

Traffic has to be a bitch for you LA people

 

[J10]

Esco, ever catch any diseases at E3?

 

[EscoBlades]

I have yet to get any convention plague. Mostly because i a) fistbump instead of handshake and b) pack a big jar of hand sanitiser for every trip.

 

[Silky]

I'd rather go to PAX if I didn't know the people running the show are fucking morons.

I'll stick to fighting game tournaments and local stuff (as soon as I can find the local stuff here in GA)

Does E3 smell terrible?

Its not so bad really. It seems most people get bused around, and a lot of the attendees take the train to get there since it stops right outside staples/convention center.

And id gladly take being on the floor than doing the conference thing. Tried it for sony, never again.

 

[EscoBlades]

PAX smells way worse. Industry pros tend to (TEND being the important word here) actually shower and freshen up.

i'm not surprised. peeps got media badges with far less.

 

[Parallax]

i went on wednesday last year, and i didnt notice a smell until i walked up on a dude at the end of the day

 

[Alligatorjandro]

How you gonna go out to something like that and be stank

Ah okay.

Probably a lot more weird shady people at PAX too.

I know some guy who owns a old game store who gets passes for E3

Hit you like bricks huh?

 

[The Faceless Master]

That is the main crux, they have oversight. With all due respects to the mods.

That information aggregation.

GAF mods > 'editorial staff' at the top traditional gaming media sites

Are young black men dressed in what is perceived to be "non-thug" clothing more likely to get selected? I'm trying to imagine any kind of supposed psychology behind that. Like, they trying to get "minority on the jury" cred but they think a well-dressed brother is more likely to be from a richer neighborhood?

I'm thinking way too much into this.

[Boss Riovane]

So besides the shit I wrote earlier, man something "strange" just went down and grinds the fuck out of my gears. Long story short as much as I want to tell family(BCT) I won't derail but I'm making a thread to vent.


I'll invite you cats when its done.

By the way, Transistor is that bomb ass sex you're not having.

Just amazing all-around so far.

I wonder if Miss Tyler lurks the BCT.

 

[Silky]

Doesn't she have a GAF account

 

[cdyhybrid]

That was an imposter, I think. And apparently the same person also made a fake Jessica Nigri account.

I have a 2 year old laptop so it's a little iffy

Tyler eventually did get an account here, she posted in the Archer thread and then disappeared. Woman is busy.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Fuck the NBA.

How long until this #1 pick leaves for Miami?

Cavs fuckery triumphant again

 

[Trey]

More likely to leave for the d-league by the end of the season, considering how the Cavs generally draft.

Shit is rigged, setting up all those number 1s so they are stacked when lebron comes back
