E3 2011 Drinking Game

I apologize that this is a bit late, but if there are still some press conferences that have yet to happen and I know many of you who haven’t had time to watch the conferences yet.  This is an E3 Drinking game created by Jamie Young of Pixelitis.net.  

Now, E3 can be a glorious time for gamers.  Exciting new game footage is shown, new consoles are debuted, and sometimes some very big surprises are announced.  Unfortunately, it’s also a time where we’re often met with great disappointment.  But that’s life.  So cheers, moogles! Let us drink to the hope that all our E3 wishes come true.  Grab some friends and your favorite brews and let’s see what happens.
