Today
started off far too early once again especially for
guod. It was the very
witching hour of morning when guod, feeling bright-eyed and
bushy-tailed from his peaceful slumber of three hours, was
awakened by a phone call. It was someone calling from the
east coast, where the local time was a normal business working
hour of 8:30 AM. Someone who failed to realize that 8:30 Eastern
time meant 5:30 AM Pacific time, and that, for guod during
E3 week, normal working times can extend to 3:00 AM
which they did. None too happy, he nevertheless took the call.
Needless to say, it was
a little tough to get our fearless leader out the door and
into the car. But, energized with a coffee, the SimHQ reporters
got their web boss up and running for another torturous day
of slogging through the mass of humanity that swarms E3. Fortunately,
he had us for support and consolation. "Us", as
in the rest of the SimHQ Staff, the sympathetic guys we all
know and love, mercilessly razzed guod for the duration of
Day 3. Simulated yawns, exaggerated stretches and groans,
comments such as "Dude! Two hours of sleep is waaaay
too many for me!" and "Alarm clocks? Never
use 'em!" were the order of business. Along with
our Day 3 E3 3:00 AM coverage (Dude! That's waaaay too many
"3"'s!), which follows.
Day 3
of SimHQ's E3 adventure was HUGE the best so far, with
lots of fascinating interviews with some of the leading developers
and manufacturers in our genre. In order to have the best
chance of capturing it all in print, Chunx, 20mm and Tom opted
for the "take out pizza and beer option" tonight,
so our write ups should be pretty colorful. Or at least unintelligible.
Luckily, you can't get pizza grease or beer stains on HTML
code. So before the beer makes it to our blood stream, here
goes!
We still cannot locate any booth babes.
They're just not at E3Expo 2006. What a shame.
