Amasuntswana kunye neebhayithi yikholamu yeveki apho uMhleli oyiNtloko uRobert esabelana ngeengcinga zakhe malunga nemidlalo yevidiyo kunye noshishino ngeCawa eyonqenayo. Ukukhanya kokukhanya komhla wokuphumla, i-Bits & Bytes imfutshane (ngaphandle kweli veki), ukuya kwinqanaba, kunye nento yokufunda ngesiselo esimnandi.
I-E3 yam yokuqala yayingo-2014. Ndabhekisela kuyo ngelo xesha njenge into yoluhlu lwamabhakethi iye yacinywa ngokusemthethweni. Kwiminyaka esixhenxe kamva, ndisajonga emva ngochulumanco kuhambo lokuqala. Iskimu sam sokufika kwi-E3 sasilula: bendinofikelelo enkosi ngokusebenzela iNintendojo kodwa ihotele ixabisa imali eninzi kakhulu, ke thatha uloliwe we-redeye ukuya eLos Angeles (apho indibano ibibanjelwa khona ngokwesiko) kwaye ufike kwi-expo ekunene njengoko ivula. . Chitha imini uphonononga umboniso, zama imidlalo, emva koko ngokuhlwa ujike inkqubo kwaye ubuyele ekhaya kwiNdawo yeBhayi kwangoko ngosuku olulandelayo. Ngo-10 PM, ndazifumana ndikhwela ibhasi enkulu yase-Amtrak Thruway kwindlela yam ezantsi emazantsi.
Ndithathe uloliwe wase-Amtrak phambi kolo hambo, kodwa ukumka kwisikhululo saseJack London Square e-Oakland ngebhasi yayisisilo esahlukileyo. Ndifumene okude kube namhlanje "indawo yam," izihlalo ezibini ngasemva ecaleni kwegumbi lokuhlambela elincinci. Akukho namnye umntu owakhe wasebenzisa le ntloko kuba akulula ukuhamba ngaphakathi ngelixa ibhasi ejikelezayo kunye ne-zags ngaphaya kohola wendlela, ukuze isitulo siqinisekise inqanaba lobumfihlo kunye nokuba yedwa kulo lonke uhambo. Ndifunde ukuba iihambo zebhasi zasebusuku zinika umdla kubantu ababukeleyo, bebodwa. Uluhlu lwabakhenkethi luyathandeka, umxube weebhola ezingaqhelekanga kunye ne-avareji uJoes noJanes abathi, mhlawumbi nangaphezulu kunemini, ngesiqhelo abanakuze baphele behamba ngengqiniba ukuya naphi na kunye. I-Eccentrics, ii-dregs, oomakhulu, abantwana bekholeji, kunye nentatheli yemidlalo etyebileyo egxadazela kwisitulo esihlala singonwabanga, ukubala nje abambalwa.
Ukujonga koohola bendlela abamnyama ebusuku yayiluphawu lobuntwana bam. Abazali bam zizikhova zasebusuku, ngoko ke sasidla ngokuzifumana sifika ekhaya phantsi kobumnyama, utata eqhuba edlala yonke into ukusuka kwi-'80s New Wave ukuya kwi'90s rock kunomathotholo. Njengoko i-asphalt yayiduma phantsi kweThruway, ndajonga phandle kumxube oqhelekileyo wobumnyama bebala kunye nezibane zasemsila ndicinga ukuba indibano yayizakuba njani. Amandla eNintendo kwaye I-EGM wayendinike umfanekiso ongemfiliba engqondweni yam wento emayiyilindele kwidokodo, kodwa akukho nto ibambekayo. Njengoko umoya wawusiya usiba shushu ngakumbi ebhasini yaye ndandizama ukuzinyanzela ukuba ndiphumle kusuku olulandelayo, ndandixinezelekile yimincili. Ekugqibeleni ndabiwa bubuthongo obubilayo ndaza ndavuka ndingakhululekanga eSanta Barbara, indawo esasiza kuxhuma kuyo.
Ngentsimbi yesithandathu kusasa, umoya opholileyo wamkelekile njengoko ndandisehla ebhasini. Ibandla elincinane laseThruway lathelelwa ngabakhweli kwakusasa nabahambi ababesele bebuthelene ngaphandle. Isikhululo sikaSanta Barbara saziva siSoCal kakhulu. Yakhelwe ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane, uyilo lobugcisa bayo baseSpain kunye nemithi yesundu inomtsalane, inzolo ephulwe kuphela ngumntu ongenakhaya osebenzisa ibhentshi njengebhedi. Ekugqibeleni, wabona uloliwe yaye sonke sasikhwela. Ukuba iSikhululo saseSanta Barbara sihle, ke iSikhululo soManyano e-LA siyamangalisa. Indawo enkulu yezothutho, apho ibhasi kunye nololiwe zonke zidibana, yayiyilwe ngomxube ofanayo we-deco yobugcisa kunye noyilo lwemishini yaseSpain kunye nomntakwabo omdala. Ndagqobhoza kwiipaseji zayo ezinde ndizama ukuqalisa inqanaba elilandelayo lohambo lwam. Njengomntu okhulele kwi-AC Transit kunye ne-BART, bendixakwe yimigca yendlela engaphantsi enemibala njengoko bendizama ukuya kwindawo yendibano.
Ekugqibeleni, emva kokuqonda ukuba ngowuphi umzila kaloliwe emanditsibele kuwo, emva kohambo lweeyure ezili-12, ndalandela ihlokondiba leentatheli ukuya kwiZiko leNgqungquthela laseLA. Ndinqunyulwe kanye ecaleni kweZiko leStaples, ndavuthuzelwa yi-E3 enkulu kunye neebhena zentengiso ezijinga ebusweni bayo. Ngaphakathi, amawakawaka abantu abasuka mbombo zone zehlabathi babehlanganisene yaye bezulazula kwiiholo. Ndikhe ndamangazwa ziidokodo ezinobugocigoci ebezivakala kwezinye iimeko njengokuhambahamba kwiDisneyland kunye neefeksi zayo ezicacileyo. Abathengisi bathengisa izinto zabo, ii-devs zabo bonke ubungakanani barhweba imidlalo yabo, kwaye iivenkile zokutyela zathengisa ukutya okunexabiso eliphezulu kakhulu. Njengoko ndandizama ukuhlala, ndaqala ukubuza abantu ukuba ndingayifumana phi iNintendo. Omnye umntu wachaza ukuba kukho iiholo ezimbini eziphambili kwi-E3, kwaye ngelo xesha uNintendo, u-Sony, kunye noMicrosoft babehlala kunye. Ekugqibeleni ndisazi apho siya khona, yayilixesha lokuzihlaziya. Ndandincangathi, ukubila kwam kulizothe ndaza ndaya kumagumbi okuhlambela ukuze ndizihlaziye. Ndixukuxe amazinyo ndagalela amanzi ebusweni, bendingaziva ndicleaner iota kodwa ndilungele ukuqala ndilaqaza.
Uninzi lwamadokodo lwalumnandi, kodwa uNintendo yayiyeyona nto ndiyithandayo. Faka umbala kum ecaleni, kodwa iNintendo booth iphantse isoloko inomdla kwaye inomtsalane. 2014 ibingunyaka omkhulu kwinkampani, nge Splatoon kwaye Super Smash Bros. Wii U ukuthatha indawo yokuqala kwi-show floor. Loo mini yayisisivunguvungu sokuma emigceni, sidlala imidlalo, sibhala amanqaku, sisitya ukutya okunexabiso eliphezulu, sithenga intwana yeswag, emva koko sibuyela eUnion Station sigoduka. Ndaqweqwedisa izinja ezimbalwa ze-Wetzel kwi-Wetzel's Pretzels kwisikhululo (isithethe esitsha sasiqalisile) kwaye ndazityela eqongeni njengoko ndandilindele uloliwe wam. Nje ukuba ukhwele, yonke inkqubo ukusuka kwiiyure ezingama-24 ngaphambi kokuba iphindeke. Ndaphinda ndehla kumoya wakusasa opholileyo emva kolunye uhambo olunzima lweyure ezili-12, kodwa ngeli xesha yayiyimpepho epholileyo yommandla waselwandle ogubungele iBay Area ibetha ubuso bam.
Xa ndibuyela ekhaya, yandichukumisa indlela endayenza ngayo into endandicinga ukuba andinakuze ndiyenze. Ndaya e-E3. Ndandizibonile izinto endandizifunda kumaphephancwadi kuphela. Bendisebenza ngobuchwephesha, ewe, kodwa ibingumzuzu ongaqhelekanga wokufezekiswa komnqweno. Ndihambile minyaka le ukusukela, ngaphandle kuka-2020 kwaye kulo nyaka, kwaye andizange ndilithathe kancinci eli lungelo. Ukujonga kuguqulelo lwedijithali kuphela lwe-E3 2021, iyayifudumeza intliziyo yam ukubona uchulumanco olungaka kunye nenzondelelo ejikeleze umsitho. Iminyaka embalwa edlulileyo yokudinwa "ingaba siyayifuna i-E3 kwakhona?" Intetho iye yafika ngokukhawuleza ngayo yonke into ebizwa ngokuba yingcinga endiyifundileyo. Umboniso ngumboniso. Konke malunga nokuwisa imihlathi kunye nokuhlanganisa amaqela abantu abangenakuze badibane. Yindlela yokuba ii-devs zibonise iinyanga kunye neminyaka yokusebenza kanzima kwaye abalandeli bathabatheke kukuzonwabisa abakuthanda kakhulu kwakhona.
I-E3 liziko. Ilapha ukuhlala. Thula wonwabe.
