If I recall, I think Spielburg was there the year they were demo-ing the Wii, possibly the year after. I happened to stumble past one of the events he was doing on the floor. I think Gary Coleman was there that year too, and Richard Dean Anderson the year after.

My wife and I walked away with so much swag.  It was ridiculous.  Gotta say, it was a hell of a wait, but just the line to demo the Wii and Twilight Princess was nuts but fun.

Not unless it was a teenage girl.

I kid!  It’s a good question with all the shenanigans going on.

E.T. for the Atari 2600 and Superman 64.

Obviously, he needed help taking that step.  He’d have lava’d you for it.

I wasn’t aware that DeSantis had left the state.

So many good choices! I’ll go with Rawhide from Buckaroo Banzai.

So was Elon.

I’m sure this new policy will go down well in various countries (see Germany’s Network Enforcement Act).  If the platform gets blocked in enough countries I’m sure whatever advertisers are left will absolutely love that.

Having worked at Disney long ago and talked to a few skippers, the song is (or at least was) actually pretty spot on.

I’m not gonna lie, I would go see that multiple times.  Anime Guybrush and LeChuck!
