It’s hard for me to find the words to describe what this week has been for me. Thousands of young-at-heart gamers, all sharing my interests, getting together simply to bask and completely immerse ourselves in fun and games. And all around us, the coolest toys anyone has ever made. I knew E3 would be fun and interesting, but when I left Montreal, I was so firmly entrenched in my life, in work and the web, that I felt a lot of separation anxiety. Well, the conference managed to yank me out of my Montreal cares and completely consume me. I’m exhausted, but feel like I truly got to escape, and I feel replenished.

As a producer of games, I’m incredibly impressed by what I’ve seen, and I just want to get back to work as soon as possible. As a consumer of games, I just want to jump up and down with anticipation at the toys coming out this year!
