E3 was AWESOME. I got on my bike to go to work Friday, stopped, turned around, and headed out in my ghetto g-ride with questionable transmission to the LA Convention Center, which looks like one of the buildings from FF8.

Ran into Brian Glick from the GIA midway through Friday. Hung out with GIA and friends until today. Awesome games, awesome preview for Final Fantasy movie, awesome friendship, awesome everything. Saw Moulin Rouge too. Best two days of the last two years.

Out of time but I'll try to post sometime soon about specifics. Zeus and Ish, we should compare impressions.</div>

[Zhuge Liang]

<div style='font: 14pt Modern; text-align: left; '>Sure he was. He was the one getting his ass kicked by Gary Coleman, remember?</div>

[Tortolia]

<div style='font: 9pt arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>I ran into Brian Glick too, really nice guy. The GIA coverage of E3 was sketchy as best...yeah, they had a ton of updates, but the quality/accuracy of them was debatable at best.</div>

[Tessian]

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion, Modern; text-align: left; '>Tycho, Gabe, Pyro, Largo, Scott Kurtz?</div>

[Tortolia]

<div style='font: 9pt arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>I didn't...the problem was there were so many people there, and I wasn't aware of any places where they were going to gather...would have liked to meet Tycho and Gabe, though.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial, Modern; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 8% 0% 8%; '>...most of the work ends up getting done in about two hours per day between the show and whatever night's entertainment there is (Sony party, etc.) in a room full of schwag-trading, video-game-break-taking, trash-talking, loud and racuous GIA guys. It'd be like trying to write a term paper at a party. I thought most of it was pretty good though.

I of course was in the "friends of the GIA" room with a few mutual Stanford friends of Andrew Vestal watching TV or playing Dreamcast during that time.

But you're right about Brian Glick, he's both a nice guy and cool at the same time. I saw a few RPGFan guys running around, maybe you were one of them. ;) Oh! Wait, we ran into some girl from RPGFan on the way out Saturday, red hair, little heavy, kind of cute, big breasts. Maybe a friend of yours.</div>

[S.Cody2]

<div style='font: 11pt "Copperplate Gothic", Modern; text-align: left; '>And how.</div>

[Tortolia]

<div style='font: 9pt arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>That would be Nicole/Sumire you ran into.</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Or maybe one of the E3 "escorts"? *LOL*</div>

[Blotus]

<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>Like they would've let you in anyway.</div>

[Tortolia]

<div style='font: 9pt arial; text-align: left; '>Yeah, Sine, we've got an "escort" on staff. You've got us figured out for sure.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>BWAH!!! This could be the funniest thing you've ever posted... :)</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Sweeet. Looks like ya had a blast. Now you see why Crono likes to attend or staff at so many anime conventions and trade events (cause it's almost always that good).</div>
