GLEN’S E3 ROAD TRIP, IN PHOTOGRAPHS
Glen’s been back in touch. You remember Glen – odd chap, used to take photos of his computer and send them in and then we used to put them up and still don’t really know why.
Well, he went to E3 this year, and took us some photographs. And here they all are. Press ‘Page Down’ about twice and then another seven times and then another ten times to get to the ones of women. Also, it ends badly. The last photo is extremely unnecessary.
“Even before I got there billboards for the latest titles could be seen everywhere.”
“Off to the Sega section first.”
“A girl. Playing Sonic Adventure. It doesn’t get better than this. (It really doesn’t get any better than this if you want to stop now.)”
“Afterburner Climax. The line forms on the left.”
“Man posing with Sonic statue. Thumbs up.”
“This is the man who was taking the photo of the man posing with the Sonic statue (in the previous picture). He is taking his turn to pose with Sonic. Fondling spikes.”
“Sonic Adventure. The controller was still warm from the girl’s touch.”
“Blurry photo of large group of men and one girl taking pictures of a cosplay girl in a bikini spanking some rodent thing with her sword (not pictured).”
“This one speaks for itself. It really doesn’t get better than this one for capturing the whole E3 experience.”
“This is a photo of a robot from Battlestar Galactica (the new one) with a girl standing in front of it.”
“This is a look at the man the girl is interviewing.”
“These are his pants.”
“Moving on to the Sony section.”
“Flagship PlayStation title ‘Little Big Planet 2’. Four controllers. No takers.”
“Nintendo section. Outdoors this year. Probably cheaper rent.”
“I think I was spotted here…”
“Mario packs up his arrow and calls it a day.”
“Outside. Girl with a Sonic t-shirt. On the street, so fair game.”
“One more trip back to the ‘Gaming Zone’.”
“A quick flush and time for one more shot before security arrives. (Shot deleted when I discovered pubic hair (not mine) in the frame – Can be sent on request.)” – Glen.

That man’s jeans are genuinely impressive. Don’t think I could pull them off, though.

How about the woman’s Sonic t-shirt?
I suspect the two ‘men’ posing with the Sonic statue are pretty much what Zorg suspects we all look like. Or what I suspect the rest of us that isn’t me looks like anyway. Well, the second one, anyway.

It’s like the old days of UK:R with real pictures from a real event that actually happened. Or at least I think it is, the current days have gone on so long I’m not sure what the site used to be about or what it did.
The bottom picture an albino with a swirl tramp-stamp?

I’ve been thinking about that first shot of the girl in the Sonic T-shirt on.
I feel like the girl behind her – the one in the black dress – I feel like she might be her younger sister. And last night they might have got a bit drunk. And maybe after a few drinks some things were said that can’t be taken back. And perhaps during the course of the night they got quite close and bonded over past boyfriends who had been assholes to them.
And maybe at some point they took things a step too far and they might have kissed or touched each other inappropriately. And ever since then there’s been a kind of awkward distance between them. And probably the girl in the black dress is okay with what they did last night but she doesn’t want to take it any further. And this has left the girl in the Sonic T-Shirt frustrated. Because after years of feeling like there might be something more to her relationship with her sister, she’s not going to get a chance to explore her emotions because her little sister doesn’t want to talk about her feelings “like that” any more.
I’ve been thinking about it a lot. I think it explains their body language in that picture.

Yesterday, as I was about to leave my seat in the subway, and there was a very average-inferior looking girl in her mid-thirties with a big Shadow the Hedgehog tatooed on her left shoulder.
The very idea I could have taken a photo and linked it here made me smile. To myself, that is. Fantasies. She couldn’t see me, as I was in her back, I have no such thing as a cell phone, and I would never have dared.
Then an another chubby girl smiled me back and told something about me being kind to let her to the exit first.
I got scared and left in a hurry.

What colour was the pube? I might want to see it, if it’s not ginger.

It was black. And curved a little like a Dreamcast logo just booting up.

You can ‘download’ a Dreamcast console from any good local retailer. Then just ‘plug-in’ any Sonic Adventure 2 disc into the machine. You’ll need to ‘link’ it to a power supply first. Then ‘rip’ the switch and it will ’emulate’ on to your television screen.
