Day 2 (with pics!)

ok, this one really will be fairly short, cuz we have to go to bed, and we have to pack up first so that we can get to the show early tomorrow to try out the Wii.

what i will tell you briefly is that, the doors opened at 9:00. we walked in at 9:30 and immediately rushed to the west hall to hold a place in line. now....the sight that met my eyes as i walked the inestimable length of this line cannot be expressed in mere words...at least not in any human tongue. i did catch the experience on digital tape however, so you can all experience it similar to how i did when i show you my precious footage....my precious. needless to say, the wait was over six hours, and i wasn't ready to blow my entire second day at E3 to wait for the Wii. so the plan is to get there before the doors open tomorrow and be at least fairly early in the line....

and now? onto the pics.

i decided that the easiest thing to do was to show you guys my schwag, since i've now taken over 500 pictures of show related stuff, much too much to sort through at the moment. the sheer volume of the goods, free goods i might add, that i have collected on this trip boggle the mind. words however, fail to properly demonstrate this as well, so i took pictures and am now posting them for your veiwing pleasure!

we must naturally start at the beginning, in this case, the carriers for my hoarded wealth, a.k.a. "bags"

next we have the bound items, including a variety of print media. please recall, all the items featured here were free of charge.

the black one on the left was for winning a game called "fury" coming out from an australian company in '07. it was four on four and vaguely capture the flag-ish, and we won, so we got a shirt.

now my personal favorite...this i got just for playing the game called "fury" (see, it's a cool little "f"

ah yes, "good stuff", as they say. and, as they say, that's all i have to say about that.
