E3: Saturday - Badge Collection And Beer
by Chris Thomas on Monday 1st Jun 2009

This morning, after waking up and eating doughnuts for breakfast (seriously) we made our way to the convention centre to sort out our press passes and generally have a nosy around.

Wes and Adam keep looking for the venue but have no luck...

Does that tatoo'd arm belong to Kratos from God Of War? The design looks a bit too modern and XXX'y to me but whatever. Seb poses like he's in a rap video. Which he probably was.

Wes and Neon in the entrance hall. It's seriously dead here, just a handful of teamsters hanging more banners and some grumpy security guards who didn't want us taking pictures. They can't stop me and my iPhone though. Suckers.

Here I am in front of some Rock Band Pepsi stand that is only half constructed. I do not know why I'm gesturing at it with my thumbs. You can already see it. Photo pose fail.

See what I mean? Absolutely empty. It's kinda creepy. Maybe this is what E3 08 was like?

Once we collected our badges we went round the corner to ESPN Zone, a sports bar where we ordered some epic food. I had a sirloin steak and it was goddamn awesome.

The money shot. These are the reason we got up this morning.

Apparently Seb works for a site called VideoGmaer.com which we all found hysterical, mainly because he seemed really upset by it.
