Chinese or pizza. Usually have pepsi but I'll probably go with Baja Blast this time.

I'll probably get a Chipotle bowl to pick at between conferences and get some Black Cherry soda.

It's the best time of the year!
 
This post is 100% Dead Serious. My plans haven't been finalized, but this is my preliminary idea. I live in Karachi, Pakistan at the moment, so I'd love to show you guys just a tiny bit of what I'm planning on eating. With the exception of the desserts, these are my pictures.

I live 12 hours ahead of you if you live in the Pacific Standard time. So by the time MS hits the stage I'll be 9:30 PM on a Monday night so I've planned accordingly.

1:00 PM - During the day I'll be doing my normal Ketotic diet, so I'll be munching on a variety of meats. Since this is E3 - I'll have a nice helping of a "Thali". What's a Thali? It's a dish of all sorts of meat from all over the world. On this plate you can see Chicken melted in Butter and Cheese, Afghani Steak pieces, Malai Tikka etc. Pure meat here.

9:30 PM - During Microsoft's press conference, It'll be dinner time. So your boy' going all Fancy and eating some Fettucini Alfredo from an excellent restaurant in Karachi, whose owner and I are personal friends. I'm getting this delivered-

This will be a smaller dish, so I'll have room in my stomach for some good eats later on.



2:00 AM - Ubi / EA or someone is up next. Every NPD thread, while the sheep much on their popcorn, I'm known for getting pizza. And my personal favorite pizza- Double Ranch Chicken. Nothing famous here, just regular old Domino's, but DELICIOUS.

5:00 AM - It's Muslim (Fajr) prayer time, and consequently Dessert Time. I am very good friends with one of the best bakers in Karachi. She has an internationally renowned bakery here, known as the "Cakery". I was on the phone with her, and called in a favor. I have the worst weakness for cupcakes. I'm penciled in, and she told me she'd shoot me a few extra surprises. For reference, these are my favorite cupcakes from her- this is what I got last time.

Well, I picked up some Kokanee Beer for the afternoon/evening portion of Monday. For the morning, I'll likely just have a bowl of whatever cereal I happen to have. For supper, I'll be ordering a couple of pizzas. I plan to pick up some snacks today so I'll be munching on those throughout the day to.
 
A chai latte with Nintendo and that's all, because it'll be around 6PM here in Europe. I can't stay for Sony (3AM, ugh) and i don't think i'll be very hungry with MS.

You win
 
What is this delicious Surge-looking drink and where can I purchase it fine sir
Well, I'm Norwegian so I have no trouble finding it because it's pretty much every store here. For someone living in the US, or any other country for that matter, It's easier said than done it seems.
 
As a 40 year old computer programmer who has breathed games since being an 8 year old I seriously envy all of you going to see E3. It's been a dream of mine since I can remember but I guess in reality I am never going to get to go.

Have a great time to all of you and remember to pack some anti bacterial hand gel!
 
I'll be on campus during Microsoft's conference, so I'll buy a polish boy and a bag of chips, and bring a soda.

Later in the day, just dinner as usual probably.
 
some of you guys eat a lot of shitty food.

There is a lot of good stuff in here too. But yeah corp tacos and doritos BLEH gross. I always think he maybe I should drive into taco bell or whatever and then I come to my senses and get the grass fed beef out with custom spice and organic taco shells. Bam. No time for dat nasty at the store.
 
If I can trust the experience of a friend who also takes a Japanese class at college - trust me, some of your classmates will make you cringe in no time. Apparently the difference between people learning Japanese for buisness reasons, normal manga/anime/game fans and the weirdos is preeeeety huge. My friend is a huge nerd himself and some of the weirdos made him cringe hard.

I'm hoping with it being a summer class maybe I'll avoid some of the weirdos.
 
Norway. Or this, but I don't know how expensive it would be.

Thanks!

On another note, I'm kind of baffled at how many of you are forgoing finger foods for eating proper meals. Isn't the point to just sit back on your couch and relax with some easy-access grub and your drink of choice while watching the conference? But some of these dishes look like you'd need a knife and a fork to eat them. That's all well and good if your TV is situated in your dining room, but for us normal folks who watch TV in our living rooms, pizza, chicken, chips, popcorn, or any other sort of finger food will have to do.
 
Scored a couple bombers of the always delicious Enjoy By series to serve as my beverage for the conferences.

Nothing special foodwise until the Sony conference - Local place does the best Chicago stuffed pizza that I've had outside of Chicago. Pepperoni and garlic....Mmmm

I am tired of IPAs. Oh you put too many hops in and now the beer is about as complicated as a bottle of liquid hops? Great.

"This beer is excellent. It's over 9000 on the IBU scale. I can't drink anything below 100 because it tastes like water. Real beer drinkers drink IPAs."

As obnoxious as hardcore scotch drinkers or crossfitters.

Reminds me of a joke: how do you know someone drinks (IPAs/scotch)? They'll tell you.

While I agree the market is oversaturated with IPAs, it's still my favorite style and when executed properly you get some of the best beers in the world. See: Pliny, Zombie Dust, Sculpin, Sucks, Two-Hearted, Enjoy By etc.

Also, a large, varied hop bill does not equate to one note flavor in a beer. When blended with the proper ratio of malt, yeast and carbonation, some pretty impressive flavors can emerge.
