During the heat of past E3s, IGN has heard fellow editors lament the hundreds -- if not thousands -- of people crammed into the Los Angeles Convention Center that had nothing to do with the video game industry, but had somehow managed to finagle a pass and lock up important kiosks.
Even if you've never been to an E3, you're certainly read enough accounts to know what it was like during what IGN likes to call the Circus Years.

This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
