12:35:58 PM: Lunch break. Seems as soon as noon hit, everyone ran to the food areas. We thought we’d wait until 12:30.

12:42:49 PM: One thing I am really digging about E3: Macs and iPhones are everywhere! Especially MacBook Pros. These attendees have taste.

12:49:48 PM: Are you kidding me? Found free wifi at the convention center. I could have been using this since yesterday to avoid roaming charges. Sigh.

1:03:22 PM: http://pic.gd/22937b In line to get a free 3D scanning of our face for Facebook, etc

1:12:23 PM: http://pic.gd/b91240 My 3D face from the booth. Will upload the jpg online later.

1:19:09 PM: Ends up the free wifi is only in a certain area. Don’t feel bad now. Ha.

2:01:21 PM: http://pic.gd/35ec7f Just played the new Transformers. Way better than last. Now playing Uncharted 2.

2:31:21 PM: Uncharted 2 is impressive. Multiplayer adds a lot. Now Tony and I are going to play the New Super Mario Bros. Wii now

2:39:20 PM: http://pic.gd/2d18d6 THE Stan Lee is signing autographs. Unfortunately we didn’t know about it and missed it.

2:53:45 PM: There are so many members of the media here from around the world. I can’t even count how many times I have been on camera.

6:26:50 PM: Back at the hotel room. Trying to figure out what to do tonight while getting organized.

6:59:32 PM: Was definitely wishing Sims 3 would be here at E3. Isn’t though. Guess I’ll just have to buy it when I get home.

7:22:39 PM: Looking at some pics from the show on the cameras… It’s not even worth calling some of them booths. They are massive! #E3

7:32:21 PM: On a walk to get dinner. Not sure where but probably in Koreantown.
