Can we get a full accurate listing of the folks in this pic, both for those who weren't there and for those who were? I didn't know some of them. I can help start the list off, though:
Back row, left to right: Kiriku, Marty Chinn, KobunHeat, Brandonnn, AgentDormer, bobbyconover, iJoel (I think??), Wellington, Teddman, ?, ?, ?, BuddyC, ?, Efralope
Front row, left to right: ?, Meier, sp0rks
Help me fill the rest in? thanks!

Ante Up
Shout outs to my dudes Wellington and Olubode.
I was at the Mega64 DVD/Something Awful forum gathering at the UBI Soft booth at noon, waiting in line for a dvd with their "E3 1975 Documentary" and other exclusives on it. 
I came just after 1 and everyone was gone. I thought you guys were going to "Stay Late"! WTF?
I'll be there for lunch again today wearing a Queensryche shirt. Hopefully if Bobby Conover sees this... maybe I can still meet some people.
(I did meet David Dayton asking me about the forum gathering at the Atlus Puyo Fever contest after 1 as well as the Wayans Brother (in that lunch room press conference area). Going to be hooking Keenan Ivory Wayans with some HK films and some British stuff since we're both big fans.)

When I first saw the group picture I thought Efralope was wearing a red turban so the regular ballcap pic was disappointing.
I wasn't there, but I just wanna say a quick thanks to everyone on GAF who has popped by the Krome Studios booth (Right near the Fatal1ty booth folks! Come by tomorow and get the GAF freebie!) to say hi or check out our orange rat game. Sorry I couldn't make it to any of the meets, but it's all good. I'm enjoying pimping the game to everyone who walks by

I just got in from a night of drinking with some of the GAF crew. I met up with olubode, Link, WasabiKing, and Wellington around 8 PM for some tasty Japanese food, and then we headed over to The Standard for some drinks with some other GAF folks: bishoptl (+ special friend), Willco (+ friend), and BuddyC. I had a blast...although shouting over the music has pretty much guaranteed that my voice will be fried tomorrow. Thanks to everyone who bought rounds or threw in money towards the tab!
At the risk of being effusive, everyone I met was REALLY cool. I'm just bummed that everyone converges on Los Angeles only once a year for E3 -- it would be cool to get together on other occasions. Although I know a lot of people bitch about the mods/admins here, I think the board is in good hands -- there are some damn cool people running the show.
And with that...I need to get my formerly drunk ass to bed to get four hours of sleep before waking up to go to an all-day program management course tomorrow. I have a funny feeling that lesson #1 is "don't stay out all night drinking when you have obligations the next morning," but I couldn't care less at this point. I had fun, and that's what counts!

Weird. I heard (from Folder):
A - Some people showed on Monday, others showed on Wednesday
B - Rob from Nintendo didn't show to pick up the tab as promised (I know this was not a lie, for I also am acquainted with Rob)
C - Buddy C picked up the tab with his credit card
D - He confronted Folder the next day, in an aggressive/rude way to get money off him for the evening, as he was part responsible for setting the drinks meet up with Buddy C
E - Folder told him where to stick it (not so much because of the money, but because of Buudy C's approach)
This, I believe, is Folder's side of the story.
Also, the Sony party was awesome. I got completely owned by Camp Freddy.

Considering this was Folder's plan, BuddyC had every right to be "rude." You don't blow off someone who's covering your ass. Tell me, what is a polite way to say, "Hey, dick. You and your friend stuck me with a $300 bar bill last night. Exactly how many ways are there to interpret 'Rob from Nintendo will be there to cover the tab'?"
What a tool. Quite frankly, after being stiffed that badly, he's lucky that BuddyC didn't punch him in the face. Also, having met Buddy, I'd be stunned if that is even a factually accurate account -- he doesn't strike me as the aggressive Type A personality type.boutrosinit said:
The bottom line is that Folder proposed the event, the night, and the location, used this board to advertise the event, and promised free drinks. He has an obligation to deliver, and "attitude" isn't relevant.

I believe there was confusion on the date. He thought it was Monday. I don't think he saw the change on the forum which was Wednesday. So some people showed up Monday, some on Wednesday.
Rob was definitely intending on showing up. I don't know why he didn't. No idea. I don't think Folder should be blamed for that. Rob even mentioned it to me on the phone once before E3, so I know it wasn't BS. I know Folder very well. It's no secret he's a good friend of mine. He would definitely NOT stiff folk like that.

So why hasn't he apologized, or at least tried to explain himself on here yet?
Seriously, I don't think anyone is buying it. The guy was seen as a bit of a flakey asshole to begin with, and had a great chance to redeem himself. He blew it, big time.

1 - Folder thinks he's banned.
2 - Rob doesn't post on this forum. Though he does read it.
More rumors and speculation...just what you'd expect from sp0ng!!boutrosinit said:
BuddyC doesn't strike me as the type, but if he was the kind of guy that would get all up in Folder's grill, I would think he would be the type to kick Folder's ass after being told "where to stick it."
I happened to come across Buddy right after he encountered Folder at the Nintendo press conference... Buddy said he had simply asked him what happened, explained he tried to make the best of it by opening a tab, showed Folder the receipt, then asked whether his Nintendo contact could help pick up the bill.
According to him, Folder was very apologetic and explained that he got caught up at the Microsoft post-conference party. He never made it to the Cabo Cantina, but his Nintendo contact did indeed stop by at 10:30pm and "he didn't see anyone there." Odd because by that time we were basically running the place... Folder said he'd see what he could do and that's still where it stood when I saw Buddy outside Kentia Hall during the final moments of E3 today.

Meh at all the people making fun of me (cept demi). To everyone else, I met, we had a blast!

I hope this is the case. Last I saw Folder was on Tuesday or Wednesday I believe.
My god! I forgot all about Kentia hall! Anything of interest there perchance?

bahaha, sucka! Seriously, thanks for the Jager shots, and if you need a little more for that tab, HOLLA AT YO BOY.
And an awesome thanks to the 21 and over kids who decided to come out and play at The Standard and dinner. Olubode shared his wonderous knowledge about marriage, jinx shared great stories from his current place of employment, Link shared an old tryst with a Dolphins cheerleader, and Wellington was once again bitchslapped by my drinking prowess. Also, it was good to see BuddyC, and Willco and compadre stop on in and drink with all of us. Maybe next year we can make it bigger, eh?
Can't forget a big thank you to chespace for the invite to the Ziff Davis party, as I would not have run into johntv, Andrew Pfister, Teddman and compadre, and most importantly, the hot bartender on the left side of the bar.
Oh, and finally, running into Agent Dormer and Meier!Since E3 is no longer about the games to me, there were some great places to drink, and reasons why my wallet is a bit lighter until next payday.
The Ziff Davis / Intel E3 Party took place Wednesday night at the Hotel Figueroa,
conveniently located only two blocks from the L.A. Convention Center.
The "Hotel Fig" features cool Middle Eastern style decor. The entrance to the Intel Party was on the left, Ziff Davis on the right.
The view from the Intel party side out across the pool. A DJ was spinning tunes off camera to the right.
Intel was showing off some of the latest Centrino-powered laptops at "Rick's Place," (bar on far side of the hotel pool) running Doom 3 networked.
Wasn't long before I ran into Gaming-Age's Wellington and Wasabiking. Doublefistin' it!
I mean, we're uh, getting some extra drinks for our buddies...
The place started to fill up after an hour or so... Trying to make it around that pool
after a few cocktails while also staying dry could be a dicey proposition.
Caught up with Bahn of TNL/Got-Next and Andrew Pfister later on.
JohnTV from GA, Che from 1up, (Chespace at GA), and a friend of theirs.
eXxy and a few other forum folks were also in the house, and BuddyC &Link were drinking in the hotel bar (out in the lobby) but were never able to make it past the velvet rope into the party.
All in all it made for a great night, and one helluva rough early morning at E3 the next day.
EDIT: P.S. The o p a a g e s filter sucks.
