I remember growing up looking forward to this expo every year. It feels like a piece of history is being lost with it.

My memories of E3 are few since I never particularly cared, but when I was like 19 and going to college for something I never finished, I had a bunch of friends that were super hype for it and we were all planning on going out to it in like 2010, not only to go to the con, but to also try to network since we all wanted a job in the games industry. Some other students that were close to graduating gave out some tips on how to approach some bigger names at the event. The only thing that still sticks out to me is how we were told to buy a pack of cigarettes, and go to the smoking sections and hang out to chat up studio people and even if we didn't actually smoke, we should have a lit cigarette in our mouths. Apparently this worked for a number of other people at the school.
Smoking is the best way to do networking, there's no comparison.
