OXCGN’s Indie Game Site’s Guide to E3 in LA

OXCGN: "After having attended the last two E3s in Los Angeles, California, we here at OXCGN would like to combine our thoughts and knowledge to help other similar small indie style game sites like ours in not only attending, but getting around and ultimately enjoying this vast, wonderful and often overwhelming city called L.A., the city of Angels...."

Sounds fun, can't wait to go on some holiday in America!

I was never that fond of LA myself but certainly there is a lot around it to attract. California as a state has a huge diversity.

I doubt I'd get to e3 but the guide has a few good tips for smaller sites who will.

Ideally that's the idea. We never thought we'd have a chance of getting there, yet lots of effort and persistence paid off for us. We'd love to see more Smaller indie sites heading to such events as we believe such sites represent the gamer much more than the commercial sites.

Most of which simply attend because it's their 'job' to do so, and in reality, don't care too much about the event per-se, but attend because it is something that is just done in the name of work.

This is great - I've always wondered about some of the small details that need to be addressed when preparing to attend E3. I didn't know so much was involved!

XboxOZ3605478d ago

Actually, we barely scratched the surface mate. There's more aspects of it with regards to 'being" at the event we could cover, but we looked more on the basics, and how to get there and manage.

Many things like organizing your local travel papers required for the US, customs requirements, as well as Things to do and NOT to do at the event its self.

We justhope that some indie sites like us find it helpful.

The 'Stop Killing Games' initiative is close to its final deadline

Ross Scott—also known as Accursed Farms on YouTube—has been fighting tooth and nail for almost a full year to help spearhead game preservation. Starting after it was announced that Ubisoft's The Crew would be shutting down, permanently ending support for the game, Scott launched the "Stop Killing Games" initiative.

That makes a twofold deadline for the Stop Killing Games initiative. Or, at least, one headed up by Scott: The UK petition, which ends July 14, and the EU Citizens' Initiative, which ends July 3.

If you live in the EU then Please sign this or our game ownership rights and game preservation is
at stake. I know there isnt much time left but please consider signing the petition

I love Freemans Mind

People whine and in the end don't do a thing. Then whine more when they get screwed some more smh. If this makes it then it'll be monumental for consumers. That Pirate software guy was no help either smh.

The EU Date is the 31st July not the 3rd

Gotta be a slow news day when a 18 hours and 3 comments (now 4)makes it to the front page🤷🏿

Well its MS news... those are usually pretty dry, unless it has something to do with another game being ported to PS. then its top of the pops.

Oh look no further than the "Upcoming layoffs at MS" topic. It will easily top the Hottest of the week.

Special guests like Mr. Dead might also show up. You just watch.

Playdead co-founder slammed with lawsuit as bitter row with co-founder escalates

Playdead co-founder Dino Patti is allegedly being sued by his former studio and business partner.
Patti was threatened with a lawsuit earlier this year after he posted a now-deleted LinkedIn post that shared an "unauthorized" picture of co-founder Arnt Jensen and discussed some of Limbo's development. Patti said Jensen demanded a little over $73,000 in "suitable compensation and reimbursement," adding that he had "repeatedly" had such letters over the last nine years.
