This is what happens when you have 12 bloggers in a crappy hotel with no conference room. Pulling out all the stops!

Damn, how old are you guys? I always thought this site was run by late 20-somethings, with a grizzled gaming history and the courage to playfully rub J.Allard's bald head during an interview.

You guys don't look a day over 21.

& #1. Well done sir...well done.

portorikan: May 8th 2006; 12:44PM

hey, there's always the microsoft blogger bus. Have you guys checked it out? Is it nice?

Marc Butler: May 8th 2006; 12:45PM

Yea!! An iBook!

AnimalTaglits: May 8th 2006; 12:45PM

That was a good one #1

Though about 6 billion other gamers would be glad to take your spot on that ironing board to go to E3.

:'(

Of course, the best bit is that someone is sat on the floor in the corner of the picture, as you can see their laptop.

Better than that, I think they're half-sat in the toilet.

Yeah. And damn, that iron looks old. And why is there an ironing board in an hotel? Who the HELL does sironing in a hotel? O_o

This particular camera shot just happened to catch the two youngest guys on the team.

"Don't plug in the iron you'll ruin the wifi connection!"

dee: May 8th 2006; 12:54PM

I'd recommend using you lap next time :p

Tomas: May 8th 2006; 1:07PM

punk rock.

Kazi: May 8th 2006; 1:09PM

Was he so desperate not to use his lap?

vc: May 8th 2006; 1:15PM

Ever try to use your lap while sitting on the edge of a high bed? The damned laptop feels like it's going to slide off your lap at any moment.

Sjohn: May 8th 2006; 1:17PM

Also he might not want to cook himself like that one guy in the news a few years back, he might want kids or something. hahaha

Kevin: May 8th 2006; 1:26PM

Just wondering, but has the guy in red watched an unmarked VHS tape recently?

Ken: May 8th 2006; 1:29PM

By Wednesday, if you call the room, he'll pick up the iron.

Mat: May 8th 2006; 1:40PM

hahaha you guys have got me cracking up :)

Jedi6: May 8th 2006; 1:45PM

iBook? Joystiq proud Microsoft Hater!

X-BoXXer: May 8th 2006; 1:53PM

I like the way hotels bolt the irons' cradle to the ironing board. Who in their right mind would actually steal it?

Other than that, you guys beat me to the easy obvious jokes, bastards!

Tucker: May 8th 2006; 2:19PM

Ah, I see you have a PowerBook (or MacBook Pro, whatever).. Judging by the heat mine gives off, I think the first comment might be about spot-on. Now that I think about it, I may just have to try this next time I'm running late...

GD: May 8th 2006; 2:30PM

Shame on you Mac user. nyah nyah boo boo little cry babies.

Graham Hancock: May 8th 2006; 2:58PM

'Adda boy Adams! Sport that iBook! I never knew that the "i" in iBook stood for "ironing board" Haha. I'll think about the fun you're having while i'm suffering through finals this week. Call me from the show floor man!

Kris: May 8th 2006; 3:34PM

bertram: May 8th 2006; 4:11PM

the hotel might not have a conference room, but it looks like they've got a fine board room. looks like a good place to iron out all the details of E3.

Adam: May 8th 2006; 4:14PM

No expense spent

jay: May 8th 2006; 4:26PM
