I used to write for SGI back in the late 90s and I went to E3 in Atlanta in 1997. I met the guys who did Sonic and I got to submit questions to Shigeru Miyamoto's interpreter in a huge clusterfuck. I thought it was all kind of lame and the swag was unimpressive, but I played a lot of video games that never came out and the Lara Croft booth babe had giant boobs. I think they were paying me $500 a day plus travel expenses because no one knew I was a gamer. That part wasn't lame at all.
