Grimwell and his crew invited a few of us out for drinks to a club that I believe was called Exclusives. That night did not, in fact, go without any partying. Leave your tips with Lotus (who was also with us). Lyndro and I impressed the crowds (though he was admittedly better at juggling than me) and people kept asking where to get such impressive blinking bouncing balls, to which replied, the SOE booth, right in front of the top left doors to South Hall. I did, however, go outside of the confines of the booth for a while and juggled those blinking bouncy balls. I gave more demos, talked to more great people, and barely dared to set foot outside of the booth. The next day went similarly to the first. Got to talk to Brian Green (Psychochild) and OnyxRaven over lunch. Tons of compliments all around about how great they looked as well as the direction of the game itself. Everyone who came to check out Echoes of Faydwer or The Fallen Dynasty loved them. What a difference a little sleep can make.ĭay 1 Summary: Awesome. After that, I decided to be smart and I went to sleep instead of partying. We went to one of our regular E3 haunts, the Stinking Rose, which is a very good garlic restaurant. I know you wont believe it, but the night ended without any partying.
At the very least, I never gave anyone incorrect information, so I can forget about any of the pauses or stumbled words (that you can see on the Allakhazam video, because I get slightly nervous in front of cameras). Surprisingly enough, I didnt ever mess up too terribly. I, of course, got to be the first person to give the speech over the Echoes of Faydwer movie, because they like to use me as a test subject. Then, they let the early access folks in. After practicing my speech for about 30 minutes, I was enlisted to go out front and lug a big box of goodies (either blinking bouncy balls or shirts, I cant remember). As I passed by attendee hopefuls with my shiny Exhibitor badge, I finally realized that I was there-another year at E3. Another $40+ cab fare and I was at the LA convention center. Im glad everyone convinced me to go, because it was actually quite a fun experience.ĭay two, also known as day one of the convention, rolled around the following morning. I have proof in the form of a picture that I refuse to scan. After much cajoling, I agreed to ride the mechanical bull. They were excellent, as was the experience. We proceeded to head to the convention center for some pre-show preparation (and I shelled out a good $50 in cab fares just on the way there), then returned to the hotel in time for dinner.ĭinner took place in a lovely saloon just next door to our hotel where I decided to order pancakes, because breakfast is always a welcome meal any time of day for me.
#BLACKGUARDS 2 SUMMARY MOVIE#
Erik Theisz got to meet one of his idols, Vinnie Jones (the meanest defender in soccer history as well as movie star from Snatch, X-Men 3, and others). We arrived at our hotel, nicknamed the Riot Hyatt for the previous behavior of Hollywood stars in the hotel (apparently famous people have even crashed their vehicles into the front lobby, which I for one think is awesome). The back of the bus was abuzz with shouts of joy and surprise as other developers enjoyed a certain handheld game relentlessly. I started a game of Field Commander with the intent to destroy Moorgard repeatedly, but he fell asleep while doing the tutorial and I resolved to just play a few rounds myself. The trip up went without any issues and surprisingly without much traffic. I took a mental image of my bag before it was placed into the loading compartment of our bus, only to realize that it looked exactly like a couple dozen other SOE bags. I hurried with my black bag trailing behind on rollers just in case I was the last to get there but, luckily, I was not. As I pulled my car deftly into a spot by the clanging flagpole, I noticed the bus had already arrived and awaited the final passengers before it would depart to LA. A gentle breeze caressed the dewy grass at the SOE headquarters. It all started one cool Tuesday morning in San Diego. It was a great E3 from my perspective, but this write-up may not be quite as interesting as you would hope because I lived in an isolated world this year-I probably walked around E3 outside of my booth for a total of two hours, but thats okay because inside the SOE booth it was relatively quiet and comfortable. Well, Im officially back from E3 and in action again at work.
