My yearly pilgrimage to E3 alternates between years where I'm working the show floor showing off a title I'm working on, to years where I'm just a visitor checking out the new games for the holiday season. Well, this year was double the fun as I have two games I'm working on showing on the show floor. Double the stress, double the excitement, and double the number of people I'm interacting with. Not to mention keeping my two games straight when I'm giving interviews! But E3 is great because you get to interact with gamers who are getting their hands on your games for the first time in public. And typically the great vibes you get from these first-looks really helps with the home stretch (i.e. crunch) that inevitably follows between E3 and your final retail release.

So here are pics from Day 0 (day before the show opens, including evening festivities). I had no time to leave the Microsoft booth so pics show off all the places (as few as they may be) that I went :-)
