What if you gave a keynote speech and (almost) nobody came?
That was the situation in which Texas Gov. Rick Perry found himself at E3 yesterday. Despite being selected as the first political figure to keynote the ESA's annual trade show, Perry attracted an audience estimated to have been between 50-60 people, including ESA employees. The sparse attendance was accentuated by the cavernous room reserved for the speech, which was set up with hundreds and hundreds of chairs.
Despite the lack of onlookers, the Guv soldiered on, delivering in his folksy style a credible speech touting the benefits of running a business in Texas, the creativity and success of the video game industry and touting the Lone Star State as a great spot for game developers to set up shop.

I'd agree that Twilight Princess is a highlight but they totally forgot to mention The Last Guardian being a highlight at first then years and years of disappointment from then on (until 2015)
E3 is the greatest annual event in the gaming calendar; it’s like Christmas and Easter rolled into one for anyone who enjoys video games.
The biggest industry names, both developers and publishers, take to the Los Angeles Convention Centre stage to showcase the awesome things they have in store for gamers across the globe. Fans flood the convention floors to get their hands on some of the exciting games releasing in the not too distant future… unless they’re from Ubisoft (when is The Division actually coming out?).
But what exactly makes this annual trade fair so special?

As a fellow Texan. Dark Sniper would welcome Sony Computer Entertainment setting up shop down here. He will surely give his blood, sweat and tears for employment at Sony. Granted the opportunity, Dark Sniper would be more than happy to enjoy a 40 year career with the best gaming division in the industry, Sony.
Sony can have Dark Sniper's 401K investments for sure.
