I remember growing up looking forward to this expo every year. It feels like a piece of history is being lost with it.

    Did any companies ever come out ahead from E3? I guess the announcement of the Wii was a big deal that caused a bug uproar.

    Nowadays all I remember are the very embarrassing things. Those moments make me feel warm inside. I can't imagine companies were very excited knowing one of them would be made into the industry laughingstock for that year

    One million troops, woooow. Giant enemy crab. Intense staring guy at the Konami panel. My body is ready. It's spooooky.

      I picked up a sealed copy of Otomedius Excellent for a buck just so I'd have a physical reminder of that Konami press conference.

      Farewell, E3. You will be sucked :(

      That is a pretty good summary of it, yeah. You never got to be the star of E3. You either sailed through it without any major fuckups or you were giant enemy crab guy. No alternatives.
