SUNDAY


Above: The show floor was still under construction, and we immediately got to work taking pictures of things we weren't supposed to.

Above: Even our hotel room keys had games on them... E3 was everywhere.


Above: That night, a fewGR staffersgot all lazy andrelaxed at a dumb Kinect event while the rest of the team stayed at the hotel to work. Editors Chris Antista and Mikel Reparaz are getting shit done!


Above: And here they are atthat Kinect event - look at how much fun they're having.


Above: Meanwhile, the rest of the team was still working (really hard).


Above: Executive Editor Brett Elston finally left the event and showed up, but we had a hard time spotting him.


Above: A post-drinking meal. Who knew that Denny's was so funny/cuddly? Brett Elstonand Tyler Nagata did.


Above: And then Brett's head exploded when he saw E3 on the door.
