You would wait in line to ask a question or something and some SOB would feel the need to just walk right in front of you like he owned the show. I felt like giving the attendees a true 3D fighting experience by whippin' up on these bastards. But don't worry, I kept my Kung Fu skills in check for.... that is not the way.... I was surprised at how mean everyone was. I too was also surprised at how lame many of the new games were. Not much revolutionary new stuff, although the Silicon Graphics development stuff was pretty cool. I didn't have a yaroze then but did play most of the PS games. There were surprisingly few dudes in costumes also. I saw a fleeting elmo but never saw him again. I must have stopped by that kids sesame street booth (or whatever it was) 7 times just to find that guy. I kept asking the lady "where is elmo?" but she keeps telling me "elmo's out" or "elmo's taking a break" so I tell her "elmo's a lazy little muppet isn't he?" and she gives me this annoyed Ricky lake head shaking look. Like I said, mean. Elmo must be a chronic smoker or have some bladder problem for the number of times he "stepped out". They had some live characters (people not in muppet type outfits, but that looked and dressed like your favorite gaming hero). They had one there, and I am ashamed to say, considering I am engaged, I had impure thoughts about the Tomb Raider babe. Man she was hot. Also, near the mechwarrior display, why did they have that scantily clad chick? What does she have to do with the game? If I wasn't a sexist pig I might be offended by the blatent display of flesh for the sake of profit. Oh ya! I met the guy that wrote twisted metal and XWING!! That was very exciting. I will post some pictures. I almost got one of this guy picking his nose. Right in the middle of a ton of people too!
