More E3 2006 Photos
Here is what it looked like outside the convention center
The Return of Commodore in the form of a media tower. The guy demoing the product had the coolest little bluetooth cell phone joystick prototype hanging around his neck. It auto-adjusts to any size cell phone and has real controller buttons! He told me it was going to be released sometime this year. Very cool!
So the FPS savant Fatal1ty had his own sideshow going on where audience members could challenge him to Quake. The dude I saw go up against him was really bad at it, or maybe he just looked so bad because he had his ass handed to him so many times. Rock star video game champ? Bizarre times we live in my friends.
Lots of statues and posed scenes
Funky mixmaster turntables were featured by Ubisoft and Quake along with some new game footage. They made me feel so street and I ended up pre-ordering their products as soon as I got home. The wonders of marketing!
Sega put on a good showing with Sonic nextGen footage (can't tell any difference between Xbox360 and PS3 versions shown) and some nice collectables in a glass case. I didn't see any Seaman gummie worms though.
Check out this cool XMen Motorcycle on display - but you couldn't take a picture while sitting on it. This pissed me off because I was able to take a picture with digital Garfield just moments earlier. Don't tease me!
Some cool rare Xbox 360 faceplates on display and a big giant Xbox blogger RV out front.
Here are some pix of various game demo stations

The Tony Hawk team put on a great half-hour show.

I saw this dude walking around with an inflatable sword in his backpack and knew then that it was time to go home.
