If you look back in the annals of E3 past, make sure you take a good long look at E3 2005. That was the show to end all shows; there were fire dancers, thundering bass beats, and so many crazed fans that publishers were willing to pull out all the stops to insure a solid performance at the show. While E3 2008 will be a far cry from that monstrosity, we still do our best to love E3. To help insure your insider's look at the show, Ten Ton Hammer has convinced WAR's Josh Drescher to do an exclusive "live blog" that discusses each day's trials and tribulations from the show floor, and today we feature his first entry titled "The Electronic Entertainment Expo Used to Be Decadent and Depraved." It's filled with fun facts that all show-goers face, so make sure you give it a read!

Somehow, somewhere, we all got together and agreed to hold an annual, multi-day bacchanal that was aimed squarely at… well… generating “You Won’t BELIEVE What Happened At E3” stories that would help keep us all going throughout the rest of the year. Sure, making games meant spending countless dark and fearsome nights toiling until dawn to hit a deadline or fix a bug, but it ALSO meant spending a week in LA, trying to sneak into parties, collecting XXXL t-shirts from startled girls in revealing outfits and generally having a great, goofy time.
