quinn's trip to e3

This past week Quinn had the opportunity to attend E3 which is the biggest baddest trade show in the gaming world. It was held in downtown LA at the convention center.            

         

After flying in on Monday and checking in at the hotel,  he headed straight to the convention center to check out the massive set up that was going on.

Quinn had an up close encounter with the new Ferrari GT  458  Italia

He was also able to meet  "Issac Clarke" the lead protagonist from one of his fave games Dead Space.
 Tuesday afternoon, Quinn worked the Bulletstorm booth helping demo the game. Here he (with his boss) is in his awesome Dead Echo Squadron jumpsuit.  The game racked up a  lot of awards and was a huge hit at  E3.
 

One example of the craziness of E3 is the actual lucha libre ring on the show floor to promote a wrestling game.
 

Here is a pic of a fake North Korean army at the show to promote another new game called Homefront.

Tuesday night  Quinn spent at The J Lounge for the Bulletstorm party. Quinn was assigned to demo the game  at the bar because he doesn't drink. 


Here is a pic of Keenan Thompson (from SNL and formerly All That on Nickelodeon) checking out the game.

Wednesday night was the Gears of War 3 party at  The Edison.

The venue is an old power plant.

Here are the MS peeps setting up demo stations  for the party.


     Quinn got to meet  Ice-T who plays a character in the game. The  picture is a bit out of focus and I blame his wife Coco who took the picture :)

This pic is Thursday night at another party. It is Quinn with the absinthe fairy who as I'm sure you can deduce went around handing out absinthe.

Quinn was also able to meet up with some old Guildhall peeps while at E3. Here he is with Jordan and Chetan.

It was a fun, hectic and successful week for Quinn and his company. An extremely sleep deprived Quinn arrived home late last night and Asher and I were both very excited to see him again!

AWESOME!!! Quinn was totally in heaven....his life-long vision of Nirvana. Loved all the photos. You have trained him well, Devry.

I got an especial chuckle out of the reason he scored lead star on the game presentation....he doesn't drink. You ROCK Quinn! Welcome home and Congratulations on the ribbon ceremony today at Epic. Great things are opening up, literally.

ICE T! Yeah! That dude is still cool. I hope Quinn busted out some mad moves and raps.
