ExtremeTech, the brand under which I wrote my new book, is blogging E3. I think the unusual perspective from ExtremeTech editors will bring a wide diversity of articles and viewpoints from the show. I especially like the up-front attitude expressed in the following snippet:

It’s not always fun or glamorous being at E3. After a couple of days, the feet start to hurt, the throbbing beat from the loud music becomes a throbbing headache and your eyes begin to itch from all the flashing lights and artificial fog. But E3 is about fun, the fun that will be delivered in the coming year or two on game consoles, handheld devices and your PC.

I’m going to the show to meet old friends and new and listen to some 8-bit music. It will also be interesting to see some of the follow-ons to my favorite genres like shooting games, driving games, and my favorite: Shooting-while-driving games. But I feel the same way as the ET folks after a while. You can only stand next to people dressed up like aliens, apes, and stormtroopers for so many days in a row before going batty.
