E3 2009 – Driving Full Throttle Into The Nerdery

What’s nerdier than a Star Trek convention and more corporate than a Jonas Brother’s Concert? E3 of coarse. The annual video game trade show held at the LA Convention Center. Actually the official name is the Electronic Entertainment Expo, hence E3. We mock this place not only for its halls packed with twenty-something men who have more interest in blowing up pixilated zombies than they do in dating, but also as a misguided sign of affection. Similar to what happens when one of the aforementioned twenty-somethings tries to talk to a woman that doesn’t exist only on a Blu-Ray.
