We made it to LA at the crack of dawn and ran up to get our tickets, I guess Major Nelson's contest wasn't THAT last minute (by the evidence of this sign).
The Ticket!! AHH LEGIT PRESS Ticket!
I guess we made it to the line a bit early?
*Glances behind himself
Ahh just let us in already Microsoft!
Major Nelson in the flesh!
An hour and a half later...
We're in! The setup was awesome. For something that was exclusive to the press I was really impressed by the grand setup for it. Microsoft didn't cut a many corners here.
The seats are still fillin up, we were sitting next to Lars from Bungie (Multiplayer Dev/Forum Personality)
The Beatles Rock Band? AWESOME much?
Yoko Ono and George Harrison's Wife. Kinda a big deal.
Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, sweet.
Tony Hawk, he's just awkward during this presentation.
Modern Warfare 2, the demo was amazing due in part to the Galen Center's sound system.
Cliffy B, Demoing his new arcade title.
Some love for the UbiSoft Montreal guys, they are always innovating. I loved the integration of mission objectives right into the game, that was awesome, really cinematic.
Sam Fisher is back!
Forza motorsport 3, looked great. I loved the movie creation demo.
Joe Staten!! My favorite Bungie-ite.
I loved taking pictures of that screen.
And another Halo game for 360? Little bit overkill.
Could it be!?!
WIN!
Steven Spielberg! Celeb sighthings overload.
Well it's all over now and I'm super bummed but I will make it back someday in the future.
In closing, it was just awesome being there amidst all the people in the industry. I was just stoked to actually be in there due in part with how exclusive it really is. Here's to hoping that... someday.
