I’m in Los Angeles for a few days to liveblog the Electronic Entertainment Expo, more popularly known as E3.

I know it seems like the relationship between the video game world and the military appears -externally, at least- a bit thin. You’d be surprised. Hell, the partnership has grown robust enough for me to burn three days in the traffic nightmare that is LA to get the full story.
Like I said in an earlier post, America’s Army has revolutionized the way the military looks at recruiting, and the way the gaming industry looks at the military. The military’s involvement in gaming is growing, and growing fast.
I registered earlier this afternoon, and have already heard some rumors flying around. Apparently the US Army is expected to be a major presence here this year, and is generating a hell of a lot of buzz. Their booth will be the first one I visit tomorrow morning.
Expect more posts and pictures. Till then….
