E3 2009: Epic party photo and video gallery
Dexter345 \| 2:14 AM on 06.06.2009	29 comments

No words can really justify a lot of these. But that won't stop me from trying. Make sure you check the full gallery at the bottom, as I'll just highlight a few. The gallery comes from two events. The first was the pre-E3 party hosted by the gracious Kyle and Donna, and almost all of the Destructoid E3 coverage team showed up. The second was the front page advertised first annual KarE3oke, which was attended by various industry types, including Carlos Ferro, best known (in our circles) as the voice of Dom in Gears of War.

With the editors showing up in a van, the party got into full swing.

Dyson (and his cape) on the top of the giant slide.

Colette rocking out the Punch-Out!

Snuggle time in the retro room!

The poster outside was there to prepare us for the awesomeness inside. It hardly did its job.

KARE3OKE!

It's Yo Burling!

Don't stop, believin'!

Anthony, the antisocial butterfly that he is, peaced out early. This is one of the few shots of him in existence.

Robot sighting!

Galileo! Galileo!

It's Samit, the most beloved Podtoid member!

Some of us got to try on the new robot helmet. You're jealous.

Since there were so many people at the party, people would sit down, order food, and then get up and mingle before it would arrive at the table 45 minutes later. Thus, Razak is shown here eating somebody else's hamburger, after it sat on the table, unclaimed.

I love this picture, because they both look so much drunker than they were. And they were both pretty drunk.

If you don't know Travis Roop, then you are a poor, unfortunate person.

One word: AMAZING!

Dale North and his legendary rendition of R. Kelly's "Bitch, I Believe I Can Fly."

Last (and probably least), Nick Chester singing some obnoxious song. Jonathan Ross sings with him, and seems to actually enjoy the song.

That party was sooo much fun! Out of all the parties at E3, the Dtoid party was the liveliest and had the most smiles. This community rocks!

Joe, if only you had come in earlier, you could have made it to the DtoidLA community party too! You missed some giant slide action.

This proves that the legal drinking age in our country is stupid.

Well except Anthony but at least he doesn't look like a homeless person anymore, that beard was ruining my enjoyment of the HAWP vids :P

By the time I got there everyone was already pretty drunk.
Although I did get to talk to and meet some very cool, drunk people! =)

about me
I'm a recent Master's graduate from Caltech with a degree in Chemistry. I'm currently living in Pasadena, CA, with a degree I don't want to use, trying to break into the game industry. I've been reading Destructoid since June of 2006. I'm a huge Nintendo fanboy. I've got far too many posts on the forum. I play all types of games except realistic sports games and real-time strategy games. The former because I think they're boring and the latter because I utterly suck at them. Games I'm currently playing: Crush (PSP) Left 4 Dead (360) Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box (DS) Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters (PSP) Rock Band 2 (360) Rock Band Unplugged (PSP) Games that are on the back burner: BioShock (360, need to go back and get the Achievements I missed) Culdcept SAGA (360, the battles just take way too long) Grand Theft Auto IV (360, it just didn't draw me in like the old games) Ikaruga (XBLA, SO. HARD.) Mario Kart Wii (Wii, I just never feel like playing its single player) The Orange Box (360, just need two more Portal Achievements) Super Mario Galaxy (Wii, need to complete with Luigi) Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii, same issue as with Mario Kart) Games I haven't even touched yet: de Blob (Wii) God of War (PS2) MadWorld (Wii) Metal Gear Solid 1-3 (PS1, PS2) Okami (PS2) Persona 3: FES (PS2) Project Gotham Racing 4 (360) Quantum of Solace (360) Valkyria Chronicles (PS3) Games I have finished 100% during this console generation: Aegis Wing (XBLA) Banjo-Kazooie (XBLA) Bionic Commando: Rearmed (XBLA) Bomberman Live (XBLA) Call of Duty 4 (360) Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (XBLA) Halo 3 (360) Fable II: Pub Games (XBLA) NEVES (DS) Omega Five (XBLA) Pac-Man C.E.
