The E3 2019 Experience: What It Was Really Like to Visit

Every year it seems every other channel has E3 2019 coverage, but what is it like to actually be there at the show? Cuz there's a lot more than just gameplay demos and PR speak. Let's go t̶h̶r̶i̶f̶t̶i̶n̶g conventioning!

[@pistool1]

I really liked the video and spotting all my favourite gaming/computing/tech KZbinrs :) Thank u Clint, this was a true piece of quality content and as always; very entertaining & nicely executed, too. Never knew that not everyone is eligible for buying E3 tickets.

[@bryanjk]

Umm that's his job!

[@melskunk]

This is literally the first time I've ever seen anyone cover e3 as e3. I love it

[@cookingwithchefjeff]

"Not sure where E3 will be in 2020." How prophetic.

[@thicclink]

Clint in other videos: "Mmm, that new hardware smell." Clint in this video: "Everything smells like feet and corn chips nowadays."

[@NickOfTime99]

As I watch this it feels like a review of The Sims: E3 expansion pack.

[@brandonbishop8522]

PERFECT analogy. Agreed whole-heatedly.

[@lunarblue1979]

Amazing footage. You have done the closest thing to actually being at E3 without rose-tinted glasses or the need to make it more than it actually is. Your honesty of any and all experiences, from your point of view, is why I subscribe and love your videos. Keep up the good work, never stop being yourself, and thanks for making. :)

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Can't wait to watch this! I hope to make it to E3 some time ;) ... Seriously though...it was great hanging with you and your brother!

Man, I've been into your channel for about 10 years and I must say this is probably my favorite video of yours that I have ever watched. It seriously inspires me because I've never seen E3 portrayed in such a beautiful way. It also inspires me to push forward with my own goals in game development so that one day I will be an exhibitor there. From one tarheel to anouther, Thank you so much for putting this video together!

[@DanielT42]

This was amazing! As someone who has never been to E3 (and very possibly never will go) it was so cool to get a feel for what everything is like. I love everything here, but my favorite part has to be the amount of color in your footage. It made it all feel so vibrant and alive. Whatever cameras you were using really did it all justice. Great work! :-)

[@TheSezdawg]

I was so stoked when I saw you in MetalJesusRocks video

[@alexsilva28]

Still one of the most underrated LGR videos. Always like to come back and watch this.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, Clint! I had a smile on my face the whole time watching this video.

[@TheCrackMonkey]

Bless you guys. Travel can be a pain; yet, full of these moments. Thank you for documenting those bits.

[@SableRain]

This was an awesome peek inside E3. I'm also really enjoying the new editing style and music. 👍

[@kevinsuarezmacena1003]

Men, this has to be the most down to Earth E3 coverage I've seen, just a normal guy and his bro chillin' arround the convention and I can relate to that good sir 👏.

[@Equoris]

I have to say, this was rather enjoyable. I'm not even that interested in gaming, but you have a laid back, relaxed style and attitude...not the usual forced, loud, over-excited stuff. Much appreciated.

[@An9eL_C]

From the sound of your voice to the content of the narration you make some wonderful videos that I've really enjoyed over the years... Best E3 video by far..

[@tiberiusbrain]

It didnt turn into a travel vlog, it was a travel vlog. Thanks for sharing, new perspective on it for me, feels honest

[@rosskwolfe]

"That's just me bein' old." I think a significant part of the reason I love LGR is how much I relate.

[@hakont.4960]

I imagine that most of his audience is close to his age, I'm 31 and can certainly relate to many of the things he talks about.

[@Badylird]

This particular LGR video needs more attention. I enjoyed the whole thing as someone who hasn’t been to E3 and also wants to go. I’d love to see more long documentary-like vids like this but It does seem like a whole lot of work

[@MordecaiWalfish]

Your demeanor and delivery is honestly the best Ive encountered on youtube. love your videos Clint. After watching this video it's no surprise you are from near that haven of very decent people in the south known as Asheville. Cheers.

[@unknownyes9470]

Last e3 I went to was when the ps3 was announced. I saw the batwing controller in the flesh! Reminded me of how cool those years I went to e3 was. Dope experience. Thanks for that.

[@ShdwHg]

Well, there it is; this was officially the last E3 event to ever happen, as the 2020 event was cancelled due to COVID, subsequent years couldn't get off the ground, and the Entertainment Software Association confirmed on the 12th of December 2023 that the event as a whole was simply dead, period. Good thing it's documented so well here, then!

[@LGR]

Indeed, truly never expected this would be a video documenting the final E3. Really glad we made this in hindsight!

With the way my social anxiety and panic attacks are anymore, I think E3 would result in hospitalization for me. But I envy the going out and doing of things with people, and this was a great retrospective on it all. 14 hours into 42 minutes is super skilled editing!

[@KasumiRINA]

I think Clint has a huge subscriber count just from his honest SIMS pack reviews. Like, he's legit. Most reviewers are just screaming and hoping up these things... Same with E3

[@darkmage07070777]

​@@KasumiRINA Maybe so, but there are plenty of other channels out there that are "legit" in feel (Pushing Up Roses immediately comes to mind, as does Ross from Game Dungeon). For me, I'd say it's more his reliability and style that makes him unique to me. Sure he goes to cons and doing collabs with other creators every once in a while, but he's not doing it constantly, and even when he adds new types of videos (Oddware, Tech Tales, etc), the style of his videos doesn't change more then it absolutely has to. It just really jells well, especially when you consider that this is one of the reasons why we like to replay old games: the comfort of the familiar. So LGR's consistency absolutely mirrors what I get out of Nostalgia. Which is why when nothing else good is on and I don't feel like playing something, I will absolutely binge watch his old videos for a few hours. ...that, and his Christmas tradition is amazing and has become one of the (many) reasons I get excited for December's arrival.
