I swore off the large majority of all the post E3 coverage stuff that has been coming out but this commentary from CliffyB over at VoodooExtreme I felt deserved a bit of attention. Between fashion shoots Cliffy found some time to share his thoughts on the E3 experience. Most interestingly was this bit:

... I find that, no matter how big this industry gets, there is still an overall mentality of feeling like we're Hollywood's little brother, like we live in their shadow. And there's a lot of that at e3. You find it at websites that interview pseudo-celebs from TV that show up at the show instead of developers. In fact, you see this not only at e3 but also with struggling games. A publisher will slap an out-of-date musician or band (or celeb) onto a product in an effort to give it some sort of branding. Then, when there's any game coverage in the press you find the reporters interviewing the musician or celeb instead of the developers, as if the person knows jack squat about games. It turns my stomach.

I dont know about you guys, but CliffyB is my rock star. I've been sending him my underwear in the mail every week for 6 months.
