I'm there today, the lines are insane. I'll be going around taking a lot more pictures tomorrow once I'm not suffering from sleep deprivation and horrible horrible jetlag. No more 11pm to 5am flights for me.

The Duke Nukem Forever demo was a bit disappointingly average after waiting for just over an hour to play it. But at least I finally got to play the thing, though only for about ten-ish minutes.

Just got to play the 3DS at Capcom's booth. The line at Nintendo's was way too fucking long and the glasses-free 3d works very nicely. The viewing angle kinda sucks but it does what it's supposed to. Not sure it really adds much beyond the shininess factor yet.

I can only endure so many hour+ long lines.

A scientist once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the Earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the centre of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy.

At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: 'What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.

The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, 'What is the tortoise standing on?'

'You're very clever, young man, very clever,' said the old lady. 'But it's turtles all the way down.'

This was the line for Portal 2. I'm not sure where it ended exactly but it wrapped all the way around the booth. (It was right next to the DNF booth). The line at Nintendo's booth was considerably worse.

Bioware noted that yesterday morning at 10:02am, the line for SWTOR was 11 hours. Holy shit.
