Apologies, by the way, for the slow trickle of post-E3 thoughts. It's taken my brain a while to catch up, and being sick has slowed the process. By the time I left LA, I'm quite sure I was drunkenly congratulating developers at parties for games they did not actually make.
One night, I joked with a group of PR girls I'm friendly with that by the end of the show, I'd be walking into their booths and asking to be shown their competitors' games. On the last day of the show, I kept my word -- and didn't realize until much later that the PR gal I'd asked had not been among those I'd been joking with that night. I don't think she thought it was very funny, nor did the rest of the staff all around her who I'd never met before.
