E3: Gamecock's E3 funeral procession |
Ó
E3 came and went, and Gamecock Media Group saw it fitting to celebrate the end of the eventful affair with a bang. Well, sort of. A not-so-sombre funeral procession for the "death" of this year's E3 was held on the eve of the event's final day, spearheaded by the masters of anti-mainstream Gamecock. A motley crew comprising of a Chinese dragon, masked stilt walkers accompanied the funeral march, with the dirge performed by drummers and a horn section with flourish.
Gamecock's Mike Wilson turned up in the procession donning a hospital gown - he was rushed to the ER the night before. The reason? "I think I got some E3 on me and I've gotten very sick for the last couple of days," Wilson said. "I had to be rushed to the hospital in the night after shaking in my bed for hours for the second day in a row."
Terrible? Quite so. But according to Wilson, he would have gone to the parade without wearing any pants if it weren't for the hospital gown that was given to him. Things would have gone worse otherwise.
Could the funeral procession, which marched from Santa Monica pier to Venice Beach, mean more than the end of E3 festivities? Or could it be meant for the rhetorical "death" of the festive, traditional E3 that gamers have known and loved?
Wilson sympathizes with the people who were badly affected by the sudden change of E3, which went from being free-for-all to attendance only. "'I've been meaning to go over to Barker Hanger' is what everybody's been saying, but nobody can go," Wilson said, referring to independent and aspiring game developers.

As long as my butthole stays clean I don't care.
My 360 has broken again! Arghhhhh!!!! Thats it. I love my box but its time to go 6' under.
I cant bring myself to go back to a gamecube er i meen wii so i guess i should get a PS3?
I suggest a Wii, its not very high in price, and you get all of the great games coming up later this year. PS3 is a sorry peice of expensive shiit.
I suggest skipping the wii and their *****ty games coming out this year. If you don't want xbox or sony then get a leapfrog. It's less kiddy than a wii
