I have lived just outside of Los Angeles most of my life. Driving and walking through Los Angeles, I have seen some pretty strange sights. I believe people with the utmost original “style” walk our streets. I’ve seen wild color hair, outlandish outfits, tattoos everywhere, heels that never end, etc.
One day I was driving down around LA and I saw a native African tribesman just walking down the street. He looked similar to the picture to the right, his mouth malformed with a giant disc. He was dressed in a brilliantly colored wrap cloth and if memory serves me correctly, he was barefoot! I remember taking a double take as I drove by him! He looked so authentic, he couldn’t have been an actor just stepping off the movie lot.
So, walking into the E3 video games trade show was almost no different than walking around LA! LOL! There were characters walking around straight out of combat, the movies, evil thrilling adventures, and kids games. I felt like I was in a big room full of different peoples’ fantasies. The lines to try the latest video games were long and full of anxious players.
Here are some pictures I took as I went from one adventure to the next. E3 is not open to the public, only to the trade. But there were a lot of enthusiasts who made video games their career as buyers.
Now, on to the Show!
Things are always more fun with friends, so I called a few friends to join me at the E3 trade show. Luckily, they were in town. We had a great time catching up and learning about their latest video game, STAR WARS: The Old Republic.
Let’s not forget the latest dance craze, Dance Central 2! Showgoers more more than happy to help show off the latest Harmonix for the XBOX 360.
There is so much more to show you, but hopefully this gave you a glimpse of what the show was like. Be sure to read The WellConnectedMom.com’s top 5 favorite video games from the show and learn more about Wii’s new console and controller in our Best Upcoming Family Games from E3 post.
