Busted: Meet the Joystiq E3 crew
by Ken Weeks 
{ May 13th 2006 at 6:30PM }
GamerScoreBlog posted some pics chronicling the embarassing amount of time (from a media ethics perspective) the Joystiq crew spent on or near the Xbox 360 Blogger Bus. Did I say crew? Maybe it was just me eating those Peanut M&Ms. For the people who don't know who the hell we are, try to match names with faces. Here's a hint: I'm the good-looking one.

Front row, middle: Beard +3 bonus.

Does this mean we now know the face of the dreaded in-the-bathroom-picture-taker-person?!!?

I really like the black shirts. The other shirt is nice too, but the black ones look great.
Of course, I don't own a single black shirt, but whatever. :-)

Hmm, I'd say the guy kneeling down on the far right looks like the kind of person that'd be called Ken Weeks... No offence, btw. Am I right?!

Not surprised that the crew is made up of white bread and age range between 16 and 29.
Am surprised tho, that there some cuties....
umm @ May 13th 2006 7:14PM
totally predictable. joystiqs journalism is amatuer. whats with the guy throwing up video-game-gang-signs
Rein @ May 13th 2006 7:27PM
#6, that's the blog "gang sign"...
Last time I checked, there are non-video game blogs out there.
Rein @ May 13th 2006 7:30PM
Oh, and I'm pretty sure you're the guy with the sunglasses. He's the only good looking male up there. :(
Curious @ May 13th 2006 7:36PM
Who's the spaz on the left in the front row?
I bet he has one of those big-button keyboards on his computer, right?
sarah @ May 13th 2006 7:55PM
ken, that's wiik. you aren't the only good looking one.
i spent five days with you guys, and ALL of you are HAWT. ;)

Just because #6 is a dick, your e3 coverage was excellent.
Oh and your all very pretty.

I know you folks are having a laugh over this ( i.e. your Ethical considerations)
But......
I think you need to consider the implications of the fact that it's true.

To balance the Joystiq karma demonstrated in the above photo, you will need to hire at least one person who smokes a pipe, wears a tuxedo after five PM and is often confused for Cary Grant. Driving a luxury car with a silent "n", "q" or "x" in the name and boasting a hood ornament large enough to choke a lama is preferred, but not required.
Other than that, great work at E3.
James James @ May 13th 2006 11:03PM
Theres a good looking one?
Lizard @ May 13th 2006 11:06PM
I like the guy in the striped shirt and sunglasses. He's a hottie. :)
Shogan @ May 13th 2006 11:16PM
If you are the guy kneeling down in the middle front, then yeah you are. :D
John Porcaro @ May 14th 2006 12:03AM
I don't think you need to worry, since they team only met up at the bus at the close of the show (except for Ken who was hanging out waiting for Shane Kim to do an interview). Besides, I hear you guys spent time at the Sony Blogger Workroom, and the Nintendo Podcaster Suite, right?
I actually agree, if you guys lose any objectivity, everyone suffers. So keep typing on your Macs, go on and rave about the Wii (some of us think it's pretty cool, too), and send our regards to Ken K while you spend hours drinking at the Sony party (heck, all you did is WORK during your bus flyby!). We'll send all the *real* love to the xbox360fanboy.com guys...

That's Randall "blog-sign" Bennet, C.K. "TUAW"'d Sample III, Chris Grant is the towering man on the right. The rest I don't know, unless that's Quang Nguyen to Chris's left.

the hairy one in the back row second in on the left side looks mighty fine....and hairy. lol mmmmmmmmm
adamsb @ May 14th 2006 9:26PM
Um... thank you jkoolaid.
I think.
=P

Stripped shirt and sunglasses... I'm thinking Ross Miller... [pictured removed by Ross ... because it was ugly]
Only because I've seen him at a few Riverbend partes.
hmjms00 @ May 14th 2006 11:38PM
the guy with the multi-colored shorts on the back row; he's hot. wonder if he has a girlfriend..
Ross Miller @ May 15th 2006 1:12AM
Aww, thanks Rein, but that's not Ken -- that's a-me! (but yeah, freecajunlove figured that out, first ... at a party in my college town ... whoa).
Eliot Phillips @ May 15th 2006 1:14AM
Final guess: (back row l to r) Ludwig, Adams, Ross, Jennie, James, Chris (front row l to r) Randall, Ken, C.K.
James is the only person I'm not sure of and I know Blake isn't in the picture. I think I did a pretty good job for only meeting C.K. in person.
jkoolaid04 @ May 15th 2006 9:02AM
Your welcome adam! ;)
Matthew @ May 15th 2006 10:43AM
Nice Shirts!
Any updates on the orders placed? I placed an early order before sell out but havent received anything as of yet.
Levi @ May 15th 2006 11:01AM
The first thing that I thought of when I saw this picture was "NERDS!!!" Ha ha, just kidding guys, and girl.
jennie @ May 15th 2006 4:07PM
Bah, clearly burning my copies of this photo wasn't enough for it to get on teh internetz0r. Yeah, that's me, not Sarah in there.
