I'm typing because my voice doesn't work anymore.
We'll get a sketch and some final thoughts up for you later this morning, before we head back home on the plane. Friday's excursion was exhausting in the extreme, and I'm not sure why that is because I barely remember today's chronology.
Well, I did sign on a girl*. I remember that much.
Okay, I'm back.
Yooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I said that mainly to bother Batjew, but if it bothers you too, that's fine.
We made friends with some very nice Englishmen, who we interrogated endlessly regarding their native snack options. Porkfry and I made an extensive list of items for them to bring back, which featured Hostess Tiger Tails and Fruit Pies in positions of prominence.
Just as a point of information, if you have nothing else to do - i.e., you aren't meeting anybody and you don't eat food - you could see the whole show in one day, give or take an hour. Obviously, this doesn't include having your picture taken with a woman who has no pants on. That's why we hold things like das meeten und greeten on the last day, because everybody's usually seen everything. But this year, I just took more time with everything I wanted to see, so I used Friday morning to check out Deus Ex 2 and C&C Generals, as well as Earth and Beyond - whish was demonstrated by Eric Wang. I know, it's great. I'll leverage my insider knowledge to bring you sauce on those for the Monday Update, when (away from this deafening circus) we'll collect our thoughts and try to sort out all this stimuli. I also picked up a few copies of Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, which it will be my pleasure to distribute in a June contest.
Infogrames is putting out D&D: Heroes, which launched me into pleasure realms heretofore unknown. In my opinion, it's a four player Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. I'm not trying to impugn them for it, I mean, that's one of my favorite games. In my opinion, the more games that resemble the old HeroQuest boardgame the better.
I saw a little game called Moon Base Commander that I'm going to make it my mission to promote. It's a simple multiplayer game, more reminiscent of a board or card game than a computer one, and I wholly authorize it's return to pure gameplay for my leisure hours.
Monkey told me last night that he'd have his Thinkpad out on the plane, writing either a sad poem (he asked me what rhymes with "despair," and I suggested "hair") or some final thoughts on E3. So be on the lookout.
(CW)TB out.
