"I wasn't at E3 to be stimulated and entertained. I went to see the latest and greatest games that the industry had to offer and to connect with the people that make them. I might not have played Fallout 3 or Far Cry 2 on a 40-foot tall rotating platform surrounded by scantily-clad girls, but I DID get to play Fallout 3 and Far Cry 2, without waiting in line or having to wade through a sea of sweaty people trying to get their pictures taken with the token booth babe. I actually was there to PLAY video games."

– "Doc", Sarcastic Gamer, "E3 wasn't bad despite whining by gaming elite"
