Should I miss a day of work to go to E3

[Reign in Acai]

So my chums have passes to E3. The problem is, it's during the work week. Is going to a convention surrounded by star wars aficionados, big breasted buxom blondes, and the unveiling of all the new video game systems worth taking a day off?!??! Has anybody here ever attended this celebration of celibacy?

Shit thread.

not only should you miss a day of work for it, you should skip pooping a day for it!

anything > going to work

I've never gone to that or the CES (is that still around?) but I've always wanted to. Tell me where and when, I might attend.

Well to me it seems to be a pretty simple equation: most things > work


EDIT: wtf, identical posts, well almost. But still

It's wed/thu/fri from 9-5 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

I think you both are beginning to develop scratchy throats and a rumbling phlegmy cough, aren't you.

*achoo*

haha, I have a friend that calls into work all the time. His excuse: "I have this thing on my foot."

 

[Tranquillian]

I'd pay a lot to be able to go there. You would be a fool to miss the opportunity since it's not open to regular consumers.

" I pity da foo' who doesn't go to this geekfest!!"

 

[KILL TULLY]

Yes. Of course. AHHHH! Is this really a question/11/11?!?1?!!?1?!?1 YESYESYESYESYES

 

[Reign in Acai]

Well I'm convinced. Going to it on thursday. Expect a huge review.

 

[Ayeka]

Hell yeah! Tell us all about it!

So we arrived at about 1pm. We parked about a mile away in a dilapidated structure that reminded me of a set from beverly hills cop. As we trekked the long walk to the Convention Center. We grew quite parched. Unfortunately the free mountain dew line was a mile long. (Later we got ourselves a can as I made a nerdling do pushups. If you do something stupid like take your shirt off and yell out mountaindew... You get some mountain merchandise) Anwho...back to the tale. Long story short. I played XBOX 360. It was meh. Needforspeed outlaws was the only game available to try. The graphics were pretty impressive, but the gameplay was about as dull as this post. Also played Madden 2006. Boringggggggggg! Nfl 2k series is vastly superior to this pile of polygonal piss. Basically just walked around for 5 hours, watched my buddies take pics of decent models with their digital camara's, received a couple freebies (not a demo disc to be seen), and waited in an hour long line to see a trailer to war of the worlds. Didn't get to see the ps3, as the line was around the corner. Afterwards, we walked back to the car. I seen a 40 year old mexican wearing a Bathory shirt. I complemented him on his choice for attire, he responded with an awkward "thanks". Obviously he must of purchased this on the discount rack at goodwill. If you don't listen to a band...wtf do you wear their shirt?!?!?!? [/rant] Ended the night by watching starwars episode 3. Which slit my underwear in two. \m/

The end.

Here's a picture of one of the display models. Her back is beautiful.

I like how your most enthusiastic part was the old dude in a Bathory shirt.

Lol. I was expecting much more. It was still a good time though. I'll see if I can post more pics soon. (Of hot models ofcourse)
