Yeah, we'll give E3 its props. But the last thing we needed is another ginormous game expo thatletsthe big boy publishers hog the spotlight and peddle their billion dollar franchises front and center.

Booze, babes, and violent games were represented in full at this year’s event (not that we’d expect anything less with that publishing rapscallion Gamecock so heavily involved.)T'was a good time had by all, and the level of insanity rose tenfold once the greasy, unwashed public showed up to the shindig.
