Geeks Travel from Far and Wide for More than Just Video Games at E3
Whether you are a gamer or not, you've probably heard of the Electronic Entertainment Expo, aka E3, at the LA Convention Center. Thousands of people, namely computer and game freaks and geeks, come from all over the world to view hundreds of new games and products.
Besides the occasional Wii and Guitar Hero sessions, I would not call myself a big video game fan, but I had to see what this excitement was all about.
Unlike comic book conventions, this event is a trade show for people working in the industry, so there weren't swarms of fans dressed in costume, which I was a little disappointed about. However, there were definitely still some sights to see...
I'm talking about the Booth Babes--hot girls dressed up like sexy video game characters or just wearing revealing outfits to whore out, I mean, "represent" their company. These guys were seriously beside themselves in excitement. It's obvious they are not around girls, let alone HOT girls, very often. The typical they awkwardly approach the girls, nervously ask for a picture, and when they don't get rejected, their eyes beam, they happily squeeze in between two racks and display a cheesy smile from ear to ear. Probably thinking, "Score! I'm totally posting these on my Facebook!"
I stood back though, afraid the camera flash would bounce off the beads of sweat on their foreheads and blind me.
So, check out the other major reasons dudes come to E3:
E3 is equal opportunity...
