E3 2009

A few years ago E3 was the biggest video game convention in the world. Then all of a sudden the coordinators of the expo decided to scale it down and it hasn't been the same since. However, they have found the folly in their ways and are now working towards bringing the expo back to its former glory.

Through my chabot college radio station connection I was able to get free admission for E3 this year. So, I'll be taking the trip to LA to check it out. E3 has always been famous for allowing its attendees to play games in very early development that won't get released for awhile. I'm expecting there will be games like Final Fantasy 13, Starcraft 2, Diablo 3 and ext. to play.

Consider taking the road trip with me to E3, heh. It would be fun. I know that's quite a long shot for most people though. Considering that admission to E3 costs $400. Also, since its a 3 day con (June 2-4, Tuesday-Thursday), hotel and food expenses will be included as well, however those expenses could be split between others that would like to go, so that expense could possibly not be that high. I'm just throwing that out there. Think about it. It would be worth it, heh.

Heh, Sounds awesome. However this is how i feel about this post.

Unfortunately my balls are inert :P

that's some pretty good connection!

E3, THe Tokyo Game Show, and Digital Overload are three of the biggest gaming events of in the world.

had i not been for school and money I'd probably head down there two (not alot of money, need to do homework which they have been piling on latly.

Neal, let u know if all our hopes and dreams will come true about Starcraft and the new final fantasy games.

Well, E3 is happening June 2-4 which is during the summer, so school will be out then. Unless you're planning to go to summer school, then that's that, heh. Heh, yeah, can't really help with the money thing, I know that's the biggest deterent.

I was under he impression it was mostly for the media and the different companies?

That is true. But you can register under the non profit video game and animation company, "Game-Zone Recreation" and it should be cool. That's what I did for the Game Developers Conference, heh.
