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.

I believe 100% of this story. My friend who's a stand-up comedian on the side gets paid to go to every convention, E3, Pax, comicon etc. He spends most of his time recording himself trolling the people running the booths because they pay him hundreds of dollars + expenses to do one specific interview each day.
