Okie, Dokie... I had some time to sort everything out, and all I can say is that I wish I had more pictures and movies to show everybody. E³ was a complete blast, and if I can work it, I'll get everybody in next year ;)
To start out, the show was a terrific success -> 60k people attended, 700+ companies, and more than enough swag to keep even the hardcore fanboys at bay. Add a few greasy vendors, and you have yourself the SuperBowl of gaming conventions.
To start out, here's some instructions if you ever go to E³:
1) Walk up to the convention center and find the guy handing out free lap dance coupons. These are good for pretending you give a shit about nasty women before even seeing the incredibly beautiful ones inside.
2) After you walk in, grab a bag. Preferably the biggest one you can find. And one with sturdy handles. The first day, I got an Xbox one, and it worked stellar.
3) Go to the main exhibit hall and just go into a deep stare at everything at the show.
4) Walk up to every booth in that exhibit hall and get something from them - a magazine, a keychain, a product catalog, a shirt, etc.
5) Put these in the bag.
6) After you have 25lbs. of "swag", throw the bag on your shoulder, and start playing demos, watching movies, and checking out the women.
7) Now that you've been to the first hall, go pay $9 for a small sandwich and a drink.
8) Go to the next hall, wash, rinse, and repeat.
......
Seriously though, it was insane. Every company tried to outdo the next, and it was a big headache for the people like me who don't like lots of noise and lights. The convention was the only place like it in the world: every company had 5000 giant speakers hooked up to different input, and blared at high volume. you might complain that it's hard to hear on my videos - well, i couldn't hear shit after the first day. It was fun.

Opera doesn't do the movies on some computers, so don't bitch about it. What I ask you to do if you'd like to comment on one shot or another, is hit the FULL button, copy the URL, and post it here for easy viewing!
If you have questions, just ask. I'll supply comments as the week goes on!
