    Wow that is sad. I think that E4Empty is going to be E4Extinct next year.

    They left Valve off. Which is...odd.

    Did they miss any other important ones?

    EDIT: Hothead too.

    Not only that but they say Sega isn't coming to PAX when they're listed on the expo layout. Several others were originally listed as not coming to PAX but they changed them as soon as I pointed them out.

    Its was an attempt to dethrone PAX from the top of expo-dom that failed miserably.

    We want PAX, not E4All.

    The sad thing is, E4Ennui could have been awesome. They could have learned from PAX and been cooperative and collaborative instead of antagonistic. They kept trying to compete in the same time of year, sent stupid marketing mercenaries to PAX to try to steal people away, and outright lied to the press about the relationship that they had with PA Inc. They proved themselves to be unable to understand their market (too expensive, uninteresting), untrustworthy with their partners (lying to the press, inflating expectations for vendors, etc.), and needlessly antagonistic. They are getting exactly what they deserve for their ignorance and bad attitudes.

    I second ET. I must say that when i first heard of E4ALL it looked like another event to go to as i do so enjoy lan parties/ gamer festivals. But then they just showed themselves to be dicks.

    The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

    You know they're scraping the bottom of the barrel when this highlight made top billing under the Show Highlights section of their website

    (Disclaimer. The word Highlight used in this post is of the most relative way such as a Coke can is the highest point in an empty parking lot.)

    I'm tired of going to Target for free. I want to pay $100 to visit it.

    Eh, same can be said of pink godzilla, but having one store for retro/import/pocky is good and they also have the pink godzilla Card Game, so technically it's an expo booth.

    I was driving some out-of-towner friends around, and I kept complaining about being blinded. They responded with "You see, where we come from, people tend to wear Sunglasses." I retorted with a simple "You people tend to have sun."

    Looking at the E4Evil's website and exhibitors is awful; it is such a sad lost cause that I literally feel uncomfortable looking at it.

    I think ESA needs to learn from the people behind Liepzig if anything. 200,000 people went to that thing!
