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:
