E3 2019 Highlights & Fun

By some divine intervention, LNG was able to attend E3 2019. Also, hella thanks Andrew.

After making our way to the first convention hall, we played “Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin.” Since the Marvelous USA Inc. booth was right by the entrance and it wasn’t busy, why not give their game a shot? Anyway, the side-scrolling game is fun as heck. LNG randomly played this at last year’s E3 but this time I got my hands on the Switch version. “Sakuna” makes scarf combat look good.

Following the first game demo of the day, we walked around just taking in the incredibly detailed booths, collecting swag along the way, of course. Nothing beats the feeling of going full Halloween-mode on the free giveaways in there. The swag haul: 4 pins, 2 sample boxes of gamer energy powder, 3 shirts, 3 bags, duck caller, sunglasses and other things I’m forgetting about.

Nintendo’s presence dominated the second convention hall. Yes, they had cool games to demo, but the wait time to get at them–and I quote–was “4 hours.” So, naturally LNG said F that noise and went to play the charming “Biomutant” game and suck down a (free) Bang energy drink.

LNG is now geeked AF on Bang, running around playing indie games that are littered around the show floor. Again, just so much to look at. Can a booth make you say “Holy Toledo!”? Yes, quite literally, yes. Sooo, obvi its time to get something to eat.

As you can imagine the cheese fries with rice topping kinda sucked ass, but credit to me for thinking up such trash.

The pictures can show off the convention madness better than I ever can put to words.

Cool, I’ll be drinking G Fuel and be playing “Tetris 99” until next year’s show.
