3 years ago, I stepped foot on to the E3 Expo floor with 3 other Pixelated Geek writers. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life. E3 was the “Super Bowl” of video game conventions and I was there. With a media pass. Rubbing elbows with game developers, celebrities, and playing new games for free. It was like a huge arcade that never asked for quarters or tokens. You would just walk to and pick up a controller and play. I felt very fortunate to have this experience, but also felt a bit selfish.

After E3, I wanted a way to not just report the video game news I was receiving, but also share with everyone that can’t go to E3 my experience. One year later, I tried this idea I had to live stream my whole experience at E3. It failed. At the time, the technology wasn’t quite there yet.

Now, our third year at E3 is only one week away and I have a stronger team with me to help with this grand idea.

At this year’s E3, we’ll have a group of 8 Pixelated Geek staff members covering the floor. The staff will be spread into teams of 2. Each team will use an iPhone to live stream our coverage and experience using the UStream app. One person from the team will be the camera man, while the other will be the correspondent.

Each team will be dedicated to mostly a certain category of coverage (i.e. – team 1 will be covering mostly Sony products, team 2 will be covering Microsoft products, team 3 will be covering Nintendo products and team 4 will be covering PC and hardware products.) Besides video game news coverage, we’ll also be live streaming parties and other shenanigans we get into.

During our live streaming, we want you, the reader, to tweet us questions you may have for the person being interviewed. We’ll be randomly choosing a question from any of our readers/viewers and asking them live on the spot. We feel that questions should be mostly asked by the end consumer, since ultimately, it will be he or she buying the video game product. Not the press or media.

I feel honored to be a part of the video game news media and to have an E3 media pass. But again, I want to share every thing we do at the expo and get your questions answered so you can be there too.

Bookmark our live site, PixelatedLIVE.com. We’ll be broadcasting starting Sunday night, June 5th from our drive up to our hotel.

Thank you all for being dedicated readers, and we hope you enjoy the E3 experience (if AT&T doesn’t fail us.)
