If there’s one thing that no one tells you about E3, it’s that it’s more crowded than Burger King on a Saturday. Four events kicked things off on Monday, with Sony, Microsoft, EA and Ubisoft all doing their best to upstage one another. Which you can see in all its glory, after the jump.
And this crazy day was only for the press conferences. Tomorrow, the real fun begins.

Customers expect a fast, high quality customer service experience, and if you let them …

But my troll bladder has atrophied… 😮
Andre116
June 11, 2013 at 21:28
Don’t know about that. Maybe only the part of your brain that recognizes the troll has atrophied. Maybe it’s become a separate personality now that you don’t even realize you have. That would explain why when he is active, you are not.
Jim Lenoir (Banana Jim)
June 11, 2013 at 21:44
That could explain the empty beer bottles and half-empty yogurt containers… 😮 If this is true? What can I do? How can I save my shattered mind, and retain my true self…? What quest must I undertake?

Drinking beer while gorging on yogurt. Now I know you have an alternate personality as a troll. You know how Edward Norton had that alternate personality troll that caused him to get beat up a lot for no good reason in Fight Club? Same thing. Solution is also the same. Godspeed.
I hope it works out for you man. I’ve heard of people skinning bananas alive out of anger these days, merely based on these rumors.
Jim Lenoir (Banana Jim)
June 11, 2013 at 22:03
Wait… your solution to my predicament is to gorge myself on yogurt and beer? Or is it shooting myself in the jaw? I much prefer the first option because the latter sounds a little painful, not to mention slightly illegal.
Now if your solution depends on a hand of bananas, I actually bought a bunch this afternoon. One can never have too many bananas.
Andre116
June 11, 2013 at 22:06
I was going with the shoot yourself in the jaw option, but maybe we should start with the yogurt and work ourselves up from there. I don’t want to get us into trouble by doing anything illegal.
I’m in the mood for bananas now.

Bananas & Beer sounds like a wholesome educational TV-show for kids. A bit like Bananas in pyjamas, only this time they’re a bunch of alcoholic fruit. Although technically, bananas aren’t fruit, but rather herbs….
Andre116
June 11, 2013 at 22:13
Really? Herbs. I did not know that. That’s been very educational. I’m going to try to work it into normal conversation at work tomorrow.
I also somehow like the idea of drunken bananas stumbling around and swearing at cameramen when they trip over the cables. Good television.
Anyway…I need to go get some sleep.

Alas, I need to head to bed as well. May you not dream of our young friend Foxhound… but rather find yourself on a deserted island with a bunch of playboy and FHM models.

Leave a message…well, I called what you suggested! See you sat? ME after I finish Blood Dragon!

Sniff.. I feel like I need to write a book “I am not Foxhound”, An autobiographical tale of one Banana’s case of mistaken identity.

June 11, 2013 at 23:05
Well, to be honest, Andre did suggest you were the troll. I had to agree as when them troll is about you never are… And my Columbo dodgy eye and Andre’s delusions of grandeur led us to this conclusion… That being said, hitting the herbs like this will only help in the short run… Once you resist bananas… There is only one way to go… BEIBER o-0

I have been absent for two weeks my good man, first a trip to Jozzie (funeral and business) and then I got freaky with some office reports and papers. I wrapped myself in them and lay in a corner till the tears stopped leaking from my face…. 🙁

I know the feeling man. I have a staff retreat coming up, I fear they won’t look on my use of LG as a positive meaning I may have to go Batman on everyones ass and make like an ANC tender and disappear.

Do I have to? PCF is such a lame magazine 😛 I like Stuff… Stuff is a manly magazine that you can even take on a business trip.
