Without clarification, I attended E3 in 2005... I know it's even bigger now, but it is an absolute circus.  By the afternoon of Day 3, I was in pain with every step and my ears were ringing for days after I boarded my flight home.  It was glorious... but it was also the most tiring week of my life.  Even though I was a night owl, I was ready for bed pretty early all week long.  It was the only way to function each day through the madness.  Then the airline lost my luggage for another five days upon arriving home, but I digress...
 
Most of the gaming sites have done a nice job keeping the public updated during their "Super Bowl" week, where they can barely even enjoy anything because of how much pressure is on them to rip out massive content.  Virtually nobody gave us a daily Podcast, and those that did, aren't the best... with the exception of the Bombcast.  I discovered GB last year when I heard Brad on a podcast with Garnett Lee on 1-Up... where Infamous was being discussed and where Brad sang the praises of Art Style: Pictobits.  It is now my favorite gaming site... and one of my two favorite podcasts, along with Weekend Confirmed, at which Garnett has spoken about GB's and the Cast's brilliance on several occasions.  I love this place.  I love the discussion, I love the professionalism, the look, the quests, the community, all of it.  I am a certified GB junkie at this point.  It spurred me to go back into my own entertainment writing career, which I almost dropped altogether in 2009.
 
For these guys to bust it all day long in Los Angeles and then come back to their rental place and knock out not just a podcast, but a live video stream... every single night of E3... deserves a standing ovation.  While there were some moments that were better than others (which will remain nameless), the discussion was almost always extremely informative and thought-provoking.  I simply wanted to take a moment to thank all those involved for GB's E3 coverage and to give a special set of kudos to Jeff, Ryan, Brad, and Vinny (and guests and staff)... for giving us a nightly sendoff to each day of "The Electronic Three."  Well done gentlemen... get yourselves some rest and be safe on the way home this weekend.

Indeed! Thank you to the Giantbomb crew! Even if they don't get the most news out of these events because of their small team size it is by far the most enjoyable coverage delivered by people who still understand what it's like to be an everyday gamer.

Definitely mad props to everyone who had the video content going. The Live Streams, the constant flood of demo footage and trailers and end-of-day Undercover videos kept me on all week.

Yep GB has almost been my sole source for coverage. I'll still browse Kotaku / Joystiq / etc but that's just scanning the headlines but GB are the articles I'll actually read beginning to end.

This is the only site I checked for my entire first E3 of actually paying attention (other than ign/gamespot for press conference streams) and I'd say I got some good info from it. Good job guys.

 Seriously. Conventions look fun to watch but are absolutely F*CKING TIRING to be in all day let alone three straight. I can't fathom how they were able to do live video stream at night. After the exaust that is E3, my live stream would be wanking off under a coffee table and passing out over a bowl of goldfish crackers.
 
Thank you GB crew, for every minute of coverage.

Yes, thanks to the giantbomb, just registred to thank them for the videocast!  
Last year e3 was really cool to follow too with the podcast ! 
  
The videocast was really cool to follow, im not from USA so its really cool to see gaming from another point of view. And its was really funny to watch !  

I hope they are going to be there next year in videocast ;p 
 
Thanks !

I feel like they could have just done these fantastic Bombcasts and put up the conference liveblogs and trailers, but they went so far as to livestream, do articles, do video recaps, and so much more.

Yeah, other than here and of course, GAF, I didn't really need any other sites for my E3 information.  They live blogged the press conferences, had all of the major and even smaller games covered.  And on top of that, had a podcast daily recapping the days big events.

I gladly join in with praising the GB crew.
 
Apart from the conference livestreams, I experienced this year's E3 solely on GB.
 
Thanks and keep up the good work!
