Does E3 even care that gamers were upset with the show?

Runner up was Juliet Starling/Jessica Nigri promoting Lollipop Chainsaw... her interviews either because people wanted to know about the game or because she is a beautiful "booth babe" were all lighthearted, entertaining and on point. Her energy was so contagious I couldn't help but look up who she was and more about the game.
One of the funniest things I saw was her spotting Philip DeFranco coming to her both and jumping down and ambushing him with a hug as he stood almost slack-jawed.
You are right to say it is not for us, but I think it is more nostalgia for a time when E3 was trying to appeal to all three because it is where allot of the media would get indepth info and entertaining content to show to the gaming public at large, something it has been falling behind in for years.

Never noticed this.
I pretty sure they said Flo Rida, who is a rapper.
Removed that space there. He is from Florida so it is apparently intentional.
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them
there = not here
they're = they are
ha ha what
oh man is that real
That is...something
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them
there = not here
they're = they are
This is not to say that she cannot eventually find success in NASCAR - just that she hasn't, as of yet. Well, she has...but only as the dream girl for marketing departments everywhere.
And to get this out of the way so the rest of you don't have to: NASCAR REDNECKS TURN LEFT SOUTH PARK TROLOLOLOL

Yeah, we know that doesn't really make one a "champion" but it was more funny to us.
Flaming? What flaming was there?
We never actually said E3 was shitty, we were rallying against the gamer perception that E3 sucks because it doesn't speak to them. We said that E3 isn't what gamers are looking for, not that it sucked.
For the record, we may be PA contributors, but Penny Arcade has zero editorial control over our show and have never asked us to say (or not say) anything specific.
The implication that we have some kind of ulterior motives is laughable and kind of offensive. Also, what would those motives even be?
In Tekken, a velociraptor boxes with a kangaroo and that's normal.
I hope Graham doesn't mind if I go ON POINT here.
I don't know about this Lollipop business. All the promotion for that game kind of offends me as a male. It's like they really, really expect me to be a perv about it. There's a video where they have a bunch of neckbeards literally controlling her live self via remote and, of course, it becomes an "ANYTHING!?!" scenario.
It would be like if you made a game with shopping and really shoved it into girls' faces saying, "We know you ladies love this shit!" Oh, wait...
Anyway I do love strong women on a rampage, but they can be sexy and keep their dignity in the process.

Her one race in came in the Indycar series. She has yet to win in NASCAR.

HOWEVER...she may hold one world record: according to her sponsor, GoDaddy.com, she has been in more Superbowl commercials than any other person. That has to count for something.
I love PA, but oh man, if we had that kind of power, we'd use it for our own ends
It really has nothing to do with race. It's just the kind of stupid celeb tie in that always causes people to face-palm. Doesn't matter if it's a fight game or a product.
