The Numerous Problems With E3

Pixelfoot writes "Loud music, scantily-clad models, guys hoarding free 'schwag', these things are all the lifeblood of the Electronic Entertainment Expo, but the writers of Gaming Horizon have had enough. They've got an article entitled Stuff We're Sick of: E3 Edition, going into their biggest gripes about the show and giving suggestions for how to improve it, including the now-popular notion among journalists to include a full day where the show floor is only open to media." I'll buy that for a dollar. From the article: "It seems like everybody has forgotten what E3 is for, exactly. Without droning on about the vibrant history of the expo, it's more than fair to say that E3 is supposed to be a place for people to do their jobs and it's turned into a carnival for looky-loos and swagbaggers."

But it's so cool!

All we've heard for years is how cool E3 is. It's got babes, games, and free stuff, not to mention parties everywhere.

Apparently the Journalists who created the problem no longer want the average guy to go there and take their free stuff.

I'm about to annoy femenists everywhere:

I LIKE TO LOOK AT GIRLS.

It's in my gene's and all. I'm sorry for falling for natures nasty dirty little joke.

As for guys, well, I do remember seing some at last E3, dressed as Roman Gladiators and such, though I will admit the female one's were more prevailent. Then again, so was the ratio of Men:Women at the show, go figure. Targeted advertising.

Get over it, sex sells on both sides of the aisle, or do you not watch Soap Opera's or find male strippers attractive?

Can't have your cake and eat it too.
