I've been lazy

And I'm not sure entirely what's to blame. Sloppy thinking, sloppy habits lately. I'm tired, partially from E3 and partially from a lingering cold that's floating around in my headmeat. Maybe I'm burnt out. Maybe I need a change of pace. Unfortunately, this past long weekend didn't really manage to provide that at all. Anyway, here's what our booth looked like at E3:

That shot was taken before the final day. The floodgates had not yet opened, the torrents of people had not swept over me, knocking me off my feet and leaving me to gasp as I struggled and clawed my way over their heads for just one sweet, cool breath of air.

There are people out there who tell my I should feel lucky that my company sends me to E3. The things I say in response to this, I am hesitant to put into print in a public forum such as this. Similar words have, in the past, caused the weak to faint, caused paint to peel, caused leaves to wilt, caused milk to curdle. Gods only know what would happen if such vulgarity were unleash upon the unsuspecting masses. Here is a shot of the event in full effect:

It may not seem like much, as it was taken during a lull. However, imagine for a moment having to explain, at length, to each and every one of them why they ought to spend money on your products. Why they ought to publish your logic in their magazines and on their websites, that their readers might be able to spend money on our products. And then stop to consider the horror that is talking to the gaming media. They are morons, and most of them feel they ought to be doing your job. They feel a sense of entitlement, that it is their duty to share their opinions with you, because, BY GOD, you are a direct conduit between them and, say, Miyamoto-san.

Oh, death is too good for them.
