Last year, me and my good friend Andy McCarthy were responsible for the bulk of Destructoid's E3 coverage. This year we have a whole video team, led by the humble and lovable Rey Gutierrez. Not only is that going to lead to bigger and better coverage for you, but it's really freed Andy and I up to do whatever we want, without worrying about covering everything. As nice as that is, it's also a tad overwhelming in a different way. This year's show is so much bigger than last year's, and it was hard to even know where to begin.
This video will hopefully give you a sense of how it feels to be thrown into something like E3 09 with no map and no direction home, and the insane amount of fun that comes with trying to find your way through it. None of the games shown here are necessarily my favorite or anything, it's just the first stuff that I saw. From here on out you can expect to see a lot more focused videos, including in-depth interviews with multiple developers, off the cuff chats with booth babes, religious activists, and other "actors", as well as impressions of all the best games coming to Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft platforms.
Until then, you have this video. I hope you enjoy it.
Jonathan Holmes is the most lovable Associate Editor on Destructoid. Catch him on videos, original editorials, and on back episodes of the Destructoid Show and MTV's Road Rules. Jonathan is a retro gamer's gamer.

This made me giggle like a little girl.
I love you Holmes.
I saw you at the Kare3oke party and you gave me that "don't I know you look?"
At least I think you did.
sad face.
This is exactly what went through my head.
I was joking.
Clothes aside, great video! The episode 1 gives me a nerdgasm.
I'm very glad that this is just episode 1! I hope we see an episode 2 soon!
@Anthony: I'm actually shocked that anyone thought that you were serious.
I figured it was a joke, but you never know.
*Hides shamefully in corner*
Hopefully that will change one day.
holmes looks like he could crush him
its the power of waggle
Ha ha!
That was great! Really great! Love the editing and music, nice quick coverage, man. Funny stuff.
Hey, I saw you outside of E3, afternoon of day one, next to the Ecto-1. Dammit, I knew I recognized you! I just couldn't pin point it.
Well, looks like you had a blast! I know I did!
More videos, such as this, please. =)
