Feel free to add. I'm sure some of you have ideas, but I'm just going to kickstart this little thing.
1) Don't be European.
2) If you must be European, and you are European at an editor's day, like Capcom's, please don't:
a) Waste valuable open-forum Q&A time with the developers asking stuff that's found on the fact sheet resting 12" (you may need to convert inches to metrics) under your chin. Sample: "Ehhhhh.... 'ow many..... ehhhhh playeurs does eet support?"
3) Do not wear bandanas to any press conference, in particular, the Nintendo press conference.
4) Do not butcher the Japanese language by asking questions in what you assume to be the Japanese language. This wastes valuable time when there are translators in striking distance of the interviewee.
5) Since approximately 80% of the people hogging the closed doors to the Nintendo conference don't actually have any legitimate reason to be there, you should:
a) Bathe that morning.
b) Leave the Devil May Cry 2 t-shirts neatly folded in your bureau at home.
c) See FAQ bullet-point number 4.
6) Do not bring wire cutters to the Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft booths in the hopes of stealing a controller from as-yet unreleased systems.
7) Do not pay $12 for a slice of pizza or a hamburger at the Galaxy Cafe.
8) Don't wear your media badge in Kentia Hall. You will be forced to play Korean ass-punching games and Deer Hunter knock-offs.
9) Don't crowd the Sony press booth saying "I should be on the list." If you didn't get your wristband in the mail, you're not getting into the Sony Party.
