E3s: A look back. (IE laughing at all the fails)

[Slidell]

(Alright, I took some advice and wrote this, since I sort of want to become a journalist. And I figure, why not start making OC for my favorite dead site IBM? So, depending on how this turns out, and how many ideas for "articles" I have, I'll do these semi often. Not as often as posting random youtube videos/newstories, but oftenish. They'll usually be gaming related, but every once in awhile I'll probably get up on soapbox and shake my fist in defiance at a thing. Clearly this will be the turning point, and it will bring us back to full force. Feel free to leave criticism.)

 

 

With E3 on the horizon, I feel it's a good idea to remember old E3's and all the joy and cringe they brought us, but mostly just the cringe. Most recent of which is Ubisofts glorious.

I don't really hate Mr. Caffeine, sure, it was incredibly uncomfortable, but it wasn't really his fault.

 

However, it was Jamie Kennedy's fault. I'm not sure what was up with him, well, I know what was up with him. I'm not sure what he was on, but he was on something, and didn't seem to be fully aware of where he was, what he was doing, and that he was wearing pants.

My personal favorite cringe fest was Konami at E3 2010. Not only was it riddled with Engrish, any and every joke fell flat on its face, then dissolved into some weird pile of uncomfortableness.

The unfortunate part is, I can't say I'd have done much better. Well, I'd have had better English.

 

Of course, there are always the bad games, and ******** gimmicks Publishers throw into their conferences, because they always go over so well. Like Ubisofts super revolutionary game, that no one's ever heard of, and totally isn't Laser Tag, BATTLE TAG!

Seriously, did anyone hear anything about this after their press conference? Did it even come out? I have no idea.

 

Or that time there just happened to be an entire professional dance trope in the crowd, and they just happened to pick them out. What luck it was.

And of course, the greatest moment in E3 history.

 

 

So, how mush cringe will we have at this years E3? Who knows, but, you can bet I'll plaster all the autotuned versions of them here.

You gotta start writing articles for some site that will pay you. This is good stuff.

[Slidell]

Wait, you're not paying me for this? Well shit I'm taking it down then.

 

Thanks, Peaches.
