It is that time of the year where I drive to work early and walk over to Douglas Station...

...to catch the LA Metro

Metro Green Line train arrives

At Willowbrook - Rosa Parks Station I have to catch the Metro Blue Line...

to the Los Angeles Convention Center. Yup, it is time for another Electronic Entertainment Expo. I arrive well ahead of its scheduled 10am opening.

This Indy Car is DOOMed

Time to get my badge and head over to West Hall

It has been a long time since I have worked on a project that runs on PlayStation, but Sony's booth is still the first place I want to visit when I attend an E3

And, for me, one of the biggest reasons I am here is to check out the latest version of Gran Turismo

The cars in GT: Sport do look really good...must get some seat time

Pokémon Go? Never heard of it

I'm surprised to see this at Nintendo's booth...and why is Miyamoto-san with them?

This year, Sony is using an app for scheduling times to see their hands-off gameplay demos / trailers

PSVR game demos...1 per app scheduled appointment

PlayStation!

Sony is launching PSVR this year, so they are really trying to show what it can do

If you already own a PS4, this is realistically the most affordable way to get into VR gaming (I have Samsung Gear VR, but the mobile experience, while good for what it is, is still pretty limited). I plan to check out as much VR content as I possibly can during this year's E3 because I do plan to get a PSVR headset.

Farpoint is one PSVR title that I really want to check out

They have built a special controller for this game...and hopefully many more...since it combines the inputs of the Dual Shock controller with the motion tracking of the Move controller

This augmented display is the perfect way of visualizing how this controller is represented in Farpoint

On one level, it seems entirely random to bump into my car club buddy Jonathan at E3. He is not in the industry, but he is a gamer...and we share a passion for Gran Turismo. He calls out to me from the line for GT: Sport...and manages to get me into a race with him.

I am not surprised that Jonathan and I take first and second, but there was quite a gap between us! I am not surprised. He is THE Track Addict!

I grab lunch a Bacon Wrapped Hawaiian Terrier-ki Dog with Aonori Umami Dust Fries and a Coke from the Tokyo Doggie Style Truck

The line for Tokyo Doggie Style has grown significantly longer...good thing I was ahead of the curve
