There are more than a few members of the staff from The Escapist out at E3 this week, so naturally they’re just going to stare at their phones and tweet pithy things for us to read. We’ve collected the best of their in-the-moment reactions, news scoops, and witty jokes for you, just like we did for Monday’s big company press events and yesterday’s show floor opening. Today was day two of the show, when most journalists hit the floor free of obligations, and the game previews flow like water.
I always learn a lot at E3. About game design, marketing, humility, arrogance, kindness, ignorance and perception.— Susan Arendt (@SusanArendt) June 12, 2013
I want goofy from a Dead Rising game. I want silly. I want color. You can keep this grim looking drabfest. Got plenty of those already.— Susan Arendt (@SusanArendt) June 12, 2013
I have found a spot at E3 with air conditioning, 80s music and comfy chairs. I may never leave.— Susan Arendt (@SusanArendt) June 12, 2013
Xbox. Start meeting on time.— Sarah LeBoeuf (@sarahthebeef) June 12, 2013
Having never played Kingdom Hearts before, the idea of an armed Goofy is really enticing. Remarkably fun little demo. #E3— Joshua Vanderwall (@encaen) June 12, 2013
Bridge is burning down around him, Thief's Garret is still stopping to grab loot. Yep, he's a gamer.— Susan Arendt (@SusanArendt) June 12, 2013
About to see Total War Rome 2. This might be the highlight of my e3. http://t.co/zXbYswXr6b— Greg Tito (@Gregtito) June 12, 2013
Some guy just sat down next to me at E3 and he smells REALLY good. Never, ever thought I'd say that at this convention! #E3isStinky— Leah Jackson (@Leahbjackson) June 12, 2013
Oh, hello, Killer is Dead. Swords, guns, and tiger-riding yakuza? Yes, please. #e3— Joshua Vanderwall (@encaen) June 12, 2013
I don't care if Company of Heroes 2 feels just like the first one. That's a good thing.— Greg Tito (@Gregtito) June 12, 2013

Hohokum was an unexpected delight. It reminds you that undirected play is joyous. I grinned the entire time I played it.— Susan Arendt (@SusanArendt) June 12, 2013
