E3 09: Things that Totally Just Happened at E3 2009 photo

We do this all the time. Destructoid's editors come together and talk about the strange occurrences that we've experienced throughout our work week. With events like E3, we're usually so busy doing our own separate things that we don't see each other much, so this is a good way to catch up and find out what everyone did.

This year it wasn't as much about horror stories as it was totally messed up things that we saw or experienced. Odd things. Crazy things. Notable things. There were so many things that we thought we'd give you the bulletpoints for brevity's sake. If you want the details, ask the editors. Here goes:

These are things that happened:

  • Destructoid threw an incredible party
  • Altair (Assassin's Creed) stole Niero's tacos
  • A E3 worker shined and waxed the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man's crotch
  • Joe Burling got into every party
  • Jimmy Fallon spotted on the show floor
  • I saw the most epic booth babe nipple slip ever
  • Jim gets retribution
  • The nonsense word "hoof" permeated E3 thanks to our overuse
  • We ate so much sushi and sashimi at our pre-E3 meeting that we got fish sweats
  • We ate so much bool kogi at our post-E3 meeting that we got the Korea sweats
  • Sony calls out Destructoid staff for cheering for Hanna Montana game
  • Colette and I were given the bullsh*t Japan swine flu excuse for a scheduling conflict
  • Exhaustion-style game previews
  • French fry called a "sword of magic," likened to a penis after eating
  • This header image happened in the c-blogs
  • Sighted McLovin at the Microsoft Party
  • Sony announced light bulbs on the end of sticks as a new perpherial
  • Sony touts acne as a next gen game feature
  • Nintendo announces a thermometer for Wii
So much more happened that made us say "that just happened." Stay tuned to find out what else happened. I'll tell you what happened: Journalism Happened.

The best E3 moment was definitely during the Sony press conference at the Hannah Montana shit.

I was watching the conference and had Dtoid's live blog. I heard the cheers and I thought "I bet..." then saw on the liveblog something along the lines "we just cheered for the lilac hannah montana psp" at which point my unfinished thoughts were confirmed and I started laughing out loud.

Why did Samit have to be all the way at the bottom of the picture? Poor guy. Regardless, great picture.

Words can't describe how bad I want to meet you people. You are the coolest people on earth. Thanks for making Destructoid my home with your news and occasional ventures into the c-blogs. (you don't jump in there enough)

I love you, all of you. Your work is very much appreciated.

Absolutely the best coverage of E3 on the internet. Your liveblogs were updated frequently with very informative blips, yet you still managed to infuse it with personality and style. The amount of in-depth impressions, hands-on previews, commentary, and media (pics/vids) was far better than any other site.

Who won this year's E3? Destructoid did.

What does Sony expect after giving us free beer at the pre-briefing? Remember kids: it's NEVER too early.

and the entire dtoid staff found out next year E3 will be twice as big and will require twice as much walking and will be open 24 7 for 7 days straight.

but don't worry theres plenty of steak wraped in bacon (covered in melted cheddar) for everyone.

I wish my job was to shine and wax the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man's crotch.

Great E3 coverage, guys. Thanks for kicking ass, as usual.

Awesome E3 coverage guys. I was wondering who was cheering for the Hannah Montana stuff. I should've known.

Okay, I love you guys at Destructoid, but that header image is terrifying. Like some sort of satanic devil summoning ritual involving cell phones... and what looks like a frizbee.

That cheering for Hannah Montana was by far and away the highlight of E3. It was like finding a shiny gold penny in a pit of despair and self-loathing.
