Memorable E3 Press Conference Moments: Honorable Mentions
There have been so many memorable E3 press conference moments, we just couldn't fit
them all into our top ten list. Here's five more "honorable mentions"
that will live in infamy.
Boogie's All Singing, All Dancing Premiere (EA, 2007)
EA Montreal General Manager Alan Tascan's dancing as a pink. underwear-clad blob
was bad enough, but it was his Falsetto rendition of "Don't You Wish Your
Girlfriend Was Hot Like Me" (starts around 1:44 in the video) that will forever be
burned into the back of our brains.
Microsoft's Sports-Star-Studded Show
As if pro sports stars Landon Donovan, Emeka Okafor, Larry Fitzgerald, Marcus Nasland,
Carmello Anthony and Marshall Faulk weren't enough to represent the EA Sports line
up at Microsoft's press conference, the final presentation of "the greatest of
all time," heavweight champ Muhammad Ali, brought the crowd to its feet in a
standing ovation.
Jeff Bell "Raps" with Reggie Bush (Microsoft, 2007)
We're pretty sure Xbox Marketing Manager Jeff Bell should be banned from trash
talking after this cringe-worthy back and forth with New Orleans Saints Running Back
Reggie Bush. (Clip starts at 3:30)
Snowboarding Shame (Nintendo, 2008)
We're pretty sure pro snowboarder Shaun White and Nintendo Marketing Manager Cammie
Dunaway should be banned from snowboarding, real or fake, after these ringe-worthy
Balance Board performances at Nintendo's E3 conference.
"Pulling a Peter Moore" (Microsoft, 2007)
After Marketing VP Peter Moore accidentally paused his game or Rock Band TWICE
during the game's unveiling at the Microsoft press conference, the move forever
became known as "Pulling a Peter Moore" among the nerdiest of game
journalists.
