E3 - Who is going?

00Zero · May 2009

So...E3 nears. Who is going? and what days?

oobersli · May 2009

i shall be there. prolly just chill there the first day and enjoy being back in la the rest of the days

aesir · May 2009

oddly, work gave me the opportunity to go for a day, but I declined... I'm not really sure why.

00Zero · May 2009

yea, im going for a day, at least.

Canden Picard · May 2009

dude, I dont have the money. Next year though.

Andreas · May 2009

Should be a blinder of an E3, wish I was going.

Flynny · May 2009

Bla, wish I was, but atleast the games im working on will be there! woop woop!

Mark Dygert · May 2009

Hasn't E3 for the last few years been on a steady decline into the crapper? Or was that just bigger retail guys bitching up a storm because they got the boot? But I hear its just not that, everything has been in decline, everything from swag and parties to booths and babes.

Personally I'd rather go to CDG or half a dozen art related workshops then hit up E3, but I guess if its still got something worth going and its paid for I wouldn't turn it down.

Daaark · May 2009

This year is supposed to be E3's fiery comeback.

00Zero · May 2009

yea theyre going to have brothels

Joshua Stubbles · May 2009

Yeah Vig - E3 that past 2 years have been tiny shows, press-only, in Santa Monica. But this year it's going back to how it was before, big ass smelly convention center, booth babes, flashy lights and insane amounts of noise.
On the plus side, they're restricting access from now on, so the public can't get in now. It's strictly dev-only, which is nice.

I went to E3 in 2003, 2004 and 2005 so I got some good years in there. I won't be going this year though since I'll technically be unemployed, heh. Maybe when the next console launch happens, I'll try to make it down there again.

bounchfx · May 2009

I'll be there. was actually gonna make this thread next week. nice

I'M SO EXCITED.

"On the plus side, they're restricting access from now on, so the public can't get in now."

I also find this rather interesting because I've heard the opposite. I thought it was strictly dev only (unless you're counting public as Wal-Mart and GameStop/Best Buy employees), and this year the public could pay for a ticket on the last day. I hope that's not the case, but whatever.

This year is E3's return to form though. I went in 05 and 06 and enjoyed it

Luxury · May 2009

I'll be there at least 1 day. Don't know which yet.
This year will be the 10th year I've gone. That's just scary.

Cojax · May 2009

Not going to E3 this year. Last time I went was back in 2005. I would love to go again, but if I had a choice I would go to gdc instead....ahh yes good timessss. Only convention I'll be attending this year is Comic-Con (pros. We get in for free

) Have to make a thread for that later on...

Have fun! To all that's going

00Zero · May 2009

bummer, it seems like almost nobody is going.

Spug · May 2009

i shall be there, with a ton of the carbine crew

Justin Meisse · May 2009

I'm ascared of anything to the west of the appalachian mountains

JacqueChoi · May 2009

I'll be there 2 of the 3 days.

^_^

I hope NCsoft dosen't hire that horrid hair metal band 'Mutator' to play for the entire fucking day again.

bounchfx · May 2009

bumping - we gotta plan a meetup

[HP] · May 2009

I would sell a kidney to go...

Jet_Pilot · May 2009

I found out this year that if your in the biz you get in free.. My Lead is going and she didn't have to pay anything. just flight out there and all that stuff. Something to consider next year for all you guys in the industry.

00Zero · May 2009

ill be there on wednesday.

bugo · May 2009

me too, wednesday

animatr · May 2009

I will be there all 3 days. can't wait!

adam · May 2009

Someone set up a dinner and try and top the GDC 2009 attendee list

I dare ya!

JacqueChoi · May 2009

dinner?

sounds good!

yup yup.

00Zero · May 2009

lol. im down for dinner. but at this rate we'll have like 2 people go to dinner and thats just awkward.

Luxury · Jun 2009

I only do liquid dinners.

bounchfx · Jun 2009

I'd probably be down for a meet and eat, depends when and where. I don't have real transportation other than the shuttle, and I'm going to try to hit up some parties.

someone set a place and time though.

00Zero · Jun 2009

i have no idea where. i mean, i live like 15 minutes from downtown but i never go there (because the retarded one-way streets are a fkin hazard to drive on). I dont know anything about downtown at all
