...as I walked into the building at 4:50pm earlier, I was feeling a small sense of joy, I was not only going to touch a working Gamecube, but I was going to be able to hold the control. Each individual step left me more and more excited, but for the first time I was extremely annoyed with the 12 stairs after the lift I had to climb to get into the windowed 'Testing' office...

...opening the door, I saw as usual the layout of the computers and consoles, the 'test' games, the 'development' games and after browsing the regular area I browsed the room for a 8 inch cube. Where was it?

My inquizitive mind then kicked in, about five stomach churning minutes went by and I managed to find myself behind the door, of the room the GC was in...

...opening the door, seemed to be a mission, why was it so hard, Tony must have been willing the door not to open, after a push and kick, it was open, in I went....

...there is was, with people just watching the video demo that the Big N had sent us, over and over I watched, over and over, for 45 minutes I stood there watching what everyone here is going to see for the E3 news, the little disks each contained a 'golden' nugget of information, within the few I watched was one for the developers, one for the actual ideas from the Big N and a video of just some promotional info (the games).

This was all to much, too many people had left the Playstation2 alone and even the programmers were just staring at the cube and projecter, or if you weren't tall the tv...

..we waited, because thats what we did, one person was controlling the whole video demo with the GC controller, I knew that games were unplayable but I wanted to hold the control, I had now seen the 'idea' video about sixteen times, I wasn't getting bored of it, but it was getting a little tiresome...

...I shuffled forward through the crowd of about 15, getting to the controller and the operator, he looked around and said...

...'sorry only for grade B employees'

nooooooo.

Here I am, I am not disappointed but I am very sad that I didn't get to hold the controller.
