Anonymous asked: This years coverage of e3 felt extremely detached from the actual event. The roundups appeared lazy, the post shows appeared to be little more than fluffer pieces and that was almost about it. I don't really know what to say, nor do I expect you to take anything from this, but I am extremely disappointed by it. There was a general sense of bordom/lack of effort, which others in my group who do not watch GB regularly mentioned, yet (at least lack of effort) was clearly not the case.

OK!

It was also the closest representation of the mix of serious and less-serious stuff that I’ve been going after since the site launched. The Giant Bomb E3 Experience™ is designed to be a Night Thang*, deliberately away from the noise and tension that comes from a trade show floor. If you want to see people get interviewed in a hot, loud convention center and the “energy” that adds, there are still about a thousand different places that provide that part of E3. My only real notes were “not enough food to cover all the guests” and “we still haven’t found the right way to give our impressions the right amount of space and we should figure that out next year.”
