While not able to help you locate a Babel
fish on the show floor, Alkaiser and 32_Footsteps over at Netjak, E3 veterans themselves, have written a pretty
expansive article on how to prepare yourself -- both physically and mentally -- for surviving E3.We recommend anyone attending this year's E3 (even if some are common sense) to check out the article, but for those with little patience here is the quick-and-dirty of the guide:
- Get some comfortable shoes.
- Bring gloves and/or a backpack.
- Bring a digital camera.
- Prepare for some pricey parking.
- Leave the show floor 30 minutes early.
- Don't tear down posters until after E3 is over.
- Avoid waiting around in a crowd.
- Pack food & find ways to eat outside of Convention Center.
- Wear less mainstream gaming shirts.
- Explore the booths.
- Be nice.
- Tylenol is your friend.
- Consider AAA Membership.
