So it's that time again. E3 is just around the corner and with a return to the format of old we can probably expect some pretty crazy things to come out of it. Well at least more interesting than the power point presentationthat is Nintendo. I'm holding out hope for some really big things to happen this year... especially since, for the first time in my life, I'm actually going to be able to attend E3.

Thanks to all of the time and work I have put into the gaming review site GamingExcellencethe staff have invited me along to E3 with them. This will also be the first time in around, oh I don't know, 10 years since I've been anywhere out of the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey and Connecticut). Those don't really count since I only ever went to New Jersey for Six Flags and Connecticut to visit the significant other who was living there. So it's really exciting to begoing on an actual trip like this. Not so exciting is the idea of flying. But I'm not looking forward to spending several days on a train either so plane it is!

All that said though I'm really excited to see what sort of stuff I can get into or who I can meet. I'm not the sort of person who gets starstruck or anything so I don't imagine it'll be that big of a deal in that respect. To be honest I'm probably more excited at the idea of meeting others in the game reviewing part of the industry than the developers - mostly because everyone I know who has met any of them who aren't Gabe Newell never have really nice things to say about them. Regardless of that I'm stoked to see where this can lead. I'm really interested in writing for one of the bigger gaming sites so here's hoping this is a foot in the door for at least freelance work. Fingers crossed!
