Don't feel empty and unfulfilled any longer. The E for All Expo, organized by IDG World Expo (MacWorld Expo) and completely unrelated to an illegal substance that makes people worship glowsticks, kicks off today. VIP access began at 11:00 am PT while general admission guests can peruse the show floor starting at 3:00 pm PT (that's 2:00 pm and 6:00 pm ET, respectively).

Those in the Los Angeles area can attend the E for All Expo at the LA Convention Center, former home to the E3 Expo. On-site registration costs $50 to $90, but you do get to try out Smash Bros. Brawl and Metal Gear Solid 4. Joystiq has sent operatives to infiltrate the show floor, we'll report our findings.

$50 to $90 to tryout Brawl or Metal Gear?

No thanks, I'm not that desperate.

I heard about it from school: it's possible that it may be free for game design students (not too sure).

Look for me there

I'll be the guy at the Smash booth who won't let go of the controller.

Ross Miller: Oct 18th 2007; 5:29PM

Ah yes, because that description totally makes you unique :D

The world breaths a sigh of relief...

Smash Bros. Brawl? That's the best game you could mention besides MGS4? Pathetic.

MGS4? That's the best game you could mention besides Smash Bros. Brawl? Pathetic.

There. I fixed it for you.

blooh (CDF - Nipple Ring): Oct 18th 2007; 5:26PM

yeah, a mass effect demo would be awesome

i'll play the shit outta smash whenever it's released, and i'll probably never touch mgs4

even if i lived next to this place and it was free i'd probably pass. i'm too busy playin 360 games

Secura: Oct 18th 2007; 5:54PM

You guys have a really bad taste in games then if that's what you think. Seriously, grow up for once and stop playing your little Nintendo games. They've been done and over for the past 10 years, probably more. How much of Mario can one person really take?

blooh (CDF - Nipple Ring): Oct 18th 2007; 5:56PM

i dunno, but you seem to like the mario avatar

gir: Oct 18th 2007; 5:57PM

I don't like where this is going.

Secura: Oct 18th 2007; 5:59PM

Yeah, it's just so sexy.

Rubang B (NDF - Heart): Oct 18th 2007; 9:17PM

Brawl is only the 3rd game in the series, and it's coming out 8 years after the original. Halo 3 came out 6 years after Halo 1. I'm pretty sure you're not trying to say that Smash Bros. is a milked franchise though...

Are you trying to dis every single Nintendo game of the last 10 years at once? 'Cuz Ocarina of Time's only 9 years old.

blooh (CDF - Nipple Ring): Oct 18th 2007; 5:22PM

this would be way better if it did have lots of ecstacy

but damn, those door prices are crazy

Mike: Oct 18th 2007; 5:24PM

what, you dont like good games?

go away, troll.

Mr Khan: Oct 18th 2007; 5:34PM

Nobody here at joystiq likes good games

we're too busy shitting on each other's tastes in games to care about, you know, playing them

gir: Oct 18th 2007; 5:43PM

I hate you Mr Khan. I hate the type of games you play. And I hate you all.

gir: Oct 18th 2007; 5:48PM

I hate you Mr Khan. I hate the type of games you play. And I hate you all.

gir: Oct 18th 2007; 5:49PM

And I hate you Joystiq for having a laggy comments section.

No, I'm never satisfied. It's a curse.

Mike: Oct 18th 2007; 6:29PM

i meant that both were good, and that calling Smash Bros. pathetic is wrong.

matt: Oct 18th 2007; 7:40PM

Let's get a preview for Smash done by someone who actually plays the series shall we?

DAMN THE DOUBLE POST!!!!!!!!!!

Geoff Gibson: Oct 19th 2007; 1:02AM

Been there all day today. . .

I got so much free stuff it was insane. Also for a smaller sized convention there was a hellofalot to do and a hellofalot of people.

Good stuff. I have had more fun there than any E3 I've ever attended.

Going back tomorrow, but can't go Sat/Sun, unfortunately.

P.S. Smash Bros. Brawl is AWESOME. MGS4 is great too. . . they give you 20 minutes of playtime for the game which really elts you get a feel for the sound/graphics/controls. With the amount of people that showed up today, I'd expect the convention to come around next year. Wooo!

blooh (TIDF - Nipple Ring): Oct 19th 2007; 1:23AM

i wonder why i'm the only one who's called it e4a

Zardus: Oct 19th 2007; 2:02PM

Is SSBB playable the whole convention or was it just on thursday?

Geoff Gibson: Oct 20th 2007; 2:18AM

Whole convention. . .

There was quite a line today. Very fun.
