Luke is dead.

McWhertor ownz as Lennon. He wins!

CougarKid

@liquid_kore: Is it a sad thing that I only learned of that event this year?

@Steve: Blasphemer?

You guys got MTV's writer, and now you have Joystiq's photoshopper. Good work Kotaku.

BebopBlue

@BarbeQueQ: Woot!!

LiC

@ReidP: As a fellow Australian, I guarantee he won't. XD

@Etheris:

It's from NBA Jam. It would be a thunderous dunk which then the announcer would say "BOOMSHAKALAKA!!"... sadly I have no idea what Boom-Chicka-Ah comes from, I'm just seeing if he gets the Midway reference.

@Pitchswitch: Indeed. I voted McWhertor as well. He just looks like he can out walk the competition while simultaneously getting chick's phone numbers.

@excel_excel: hahahhaa OMG I cant believe I still remember that, I will never forget it and I will show the video to my grandsons!

@liquid_kore: wow, forgot about that, I day this will be epic then!

@Boom-Chicka-Ah: Its too soon, but he does beat him in Hair style!

@Combichristoffersen: With his hair, he can do ANYTHING!

Reasons why the following won't win.

Crecente - Will go with it for a half day and knowing how he loves to not finish something, will say fuck it and give it away as a "prize."
Stephen - Will get stopped continuously asking if he needs "help."
McWertor - Will sit on a toilet seat most of the time and play some portable games.
Fahey - Will forget his and will notice abruptly on the 20th of January 2011.
Luke - Will tie his to a chipmunk. Gets caught and is disqualified.

I vote Stephen Totilo because he'll probably have to run/ walk more to avoid the folks pointing at him saying "isn't he that...uh.... Tortia guy from TV? You know the one who lost to some rapper?"

@bangbangblah: Of course he'll win. Aussies are masters of the walkabout.

@Boom-Chicka-Ah: OOOOOOhhhhhh, not related to the comment itself, but the name. I found it!

Aw, Brian A., too bad you can't come to L.A.

'Tis a pity. :(

@Juan José Méndez Gallardo: Well, at least you don't hate him that much to want him DEAD. But really, hate is such a strong word... :(

@mellowspaz:
you don't know where my username is from

I went Plunkett. Someone had to be on Luke's side.

@OMG! Tonzura Brothas! (Mudkips!): An alternate version of my story:
When I was 18, I ventured into the forest of Kotakulan and Gizmodoite, in pursuit of the soon-to-be-detached Consumerite, and when I walked out of that forest at 21, by god, I was rich!

I give it to Fahey. He's got to get to the convention center from the East Coast. I just figured he'd walk.

East Coast Represent *random gang sign*

Geist002

I voted for Fahey! Go Fahey go!

@geiko: I remember being here for almost a year until I finally decided to sign up. You see kids, moderation used to be big back then, and I accidentally brought in some of that bad ol' YouTuber funk. Got banned from the whole network after my second comment.
So I created this second account, in fear of retribution again. I slaved for almost a month before my account was finally validated. Even then, my interest in commenting had started to fade from the past ban...
But look where I am now!

@Etheris: Crecente==Boomshakalaka?

@sentroshi: Really? Totilo's name reminds me of tortillas...

Mmm... tortillas (licks lips) :P ... :b ... :)

@mellowspaz: I'm missing something I knowz it...

Pedometers don't work, unless you pay a fortune for them.

Do I even need to say it? All shall fall beneath the mighty stepping power of Crecente.

It's been said that one does not simply walk into Mordor. Well, Crecente not only walks there daily for his morning coffee and baguette (that's right, a whole baguette. He doesn't fuck around), but he has been known to win staring contests with the Eye of Sauron. This is the power wielded by the Foot of Crecente.

Some claim that his power is located in his world-famous mane. Nay! His hair is governed by his feet.

John Lennon wins. He's in the front of the line.

@Boom-Chicka-Ah: no one messes with the Norris, he knows where you live - better watch your ass :-O

I already know how this is gonna go...

Everyone else: C'mon, Brian! Let's hop this cab to the convention center.

Crecente: Eff that! I'm WALKING!

@BarbeQueQ: WHOOP WHOOP!!

@Juan José Méndez Gallardo: Yeah, fuck that Lennon guy, with his message of "peace and love", whatta jerk!

Sarcasm aside, "hate" seems like an awful strong emotion to waste on someone who you don't know personally and has been dead for nearly thirty years.

@Arc-: Lol, yeah me too. I remember always coming to the site and reading but never setting up an account. And when I finally set up my account, I was scared of saying something wrong and getting banned so I never commented. Ahh, good times.

@liquid_kore: That was my thought exactly. And drunkenly walking around afterwards in a vain attempt to find the hotel.

@Boom-Chicka-Ah:

You spelled Boomshakalaka wrong.

mellowspaz

@geiko: haha that's the reason I waited so long to sign up is the fear of the banhammer

Arc-

@Launch: I hate you =/ I couldn't get one in time...

Juan José Méndez Gallardo

@Juan José Méndez Gallardo: My brother hates candy. All types. Is that weird?

Poor Luke has no shoes. :(

McWhertor FTW!
You'd better not let me down Michael.

Clearly Fahey . . .Wii Fit 2 during the day, cocktails and Karaoke in the evening. Just keep those hips swaying Fahey

Zekebaker

No, not Crecente this time.

Simple reason: Just look at the picture... Crecente can fly. He doesn't neet to walk.

And since Luke Plunket has a first name that really sounds better when seconded by "Skywalker", I gave him the my vote. You know... because he is a "walker". His first name, at least.

ps.: Besides, I didn't have any better reason to vote for anyone else (except for Crecente, but he can fly).

Crecente for sure

Seriously? Luke's getting no love? I still have faith in the mighty soon-to-be jetlagged Australian!

bangbangblah

@Juan José Méndez Gallardo: I have a Meatbun SotC shirt :D

@Combichristoffersen: I am a supporter of all things magic! Such wonderment.

It took me a while to see Crecente there...he's wearing his octocamo

GOOOOO CRECENTE!! RUN LIKE THE WIND!! YOU ANIMAL, YOU KING, YOU KING OF THE JUNGLE, GO SONIC, GO SONIC, USE ME SONIC, UUUUSSSEEEE MMMMMMMEEEEEEE!!

@Pitchswitch: That is using logic. If the picture is any indication of their actual dress attire at E3 McWhertor will be too busy strutting to try games and will be quick on his feet trying to avoid any greasy geek hand stains on that sweet white suit. Gotta go with those threads.

@svenhoek: Bite My Glorious Golden Ass: Funny thing is Crecente's hair isn't governed by gravity. He is that powerful.

Kuwabara Kazuo

Fahey will surely win when he starts dancing during his drunken karaoke.

@geiko: Oh I almost forgot: GET OFF MY LAWN!

@Crunch King: Yeah, we have too many blasphemers on here. I remember the days when I first discovered this site. The pungent smell of fear was rampant throughout the halls of the Kotaku Towers and beyond. Today, young punks move through the hall with their skateboards and spray paint and wreak havoc unto this fair land. You know what they need? These kids need to learn the fear of THE BANHAMMER!!!

BTW, does anybody else REALLY dislike The Beatles? I mean, The Beatles themselves, not their music.

They really annoy me and I don't know why =/ but I do know that I hate John Lennon's guts.

Or lack of. Whatever.

Juan José Méndez Gallardo

Crecente, no doubt about it.

Luke will win, hands down. He's a man's man who is not afraid to get down into the bowels of E3 and scower the floor for all the news he can grab.

I voted the McWhertor. He said he'll be giving out some more of Meatbun's Shadow of the Colossus Polo shirts!

>_>

Juan José Méndez Gallardo

@svenhoek: Bite My Glorious Golden Ass: LOL I just noticed Crecente's beautiful face in the top corner of the picture. I think I have a new background for my computer...

svenhoek: Bite My Glorious Golden Ass

I vote for whoever is the shortest.

Gam3r

I think Totilo will, simply because he made quite a name for himself over at MTV. He'll probably be shoehorned around by everyone in the industry. My back up vote is, of course, Crecente.

And its nice to see a genuinely interesting use for NPT: Walking, I always kind of thought it was stupid myself. Just a personal opinion. This idea almost seems the type of thing it was truly built for.

svenhoek: Bite My Glorious Golden Ass

@Crunch King: Unless Duke Nukem is an option. :(

GhostOfStarmen

Why did I immediately click Crecente? XD

yanipheonu

I think Crecente will one day overrule the overrated Chuck Norris.

McWhertor has the face and disposition of a hitchhiker, something tells me this man knows how to walk.

@Steve: and that's a good thing

Steve

I voted on Brian Crecente

because he's the devil

Steve

Who does the most small stories? I'd imagine the people wandering around getting scoops on all the smaller games would out-step Crecente, who might be spending more time in press conferences and interviews with all the big-timers.

You kidding? He gets to do all the cushy, sitting down interviews and "hands-off" previews. Plus I hear he makes the new guy carry him around on a divan ... watch out Stephen! We all know Fahey is gonna get all the gopher jobs.

jim_error404

wow just adding Crecente into the equation creates a bias bigger than the hype of E3 itself.

Don't worry Totilo, I voted for you! Because your name reminds me of the animated movie My Neighbor Totoro. :D

Show 'em Fahey!

BarbeQueQ

Crecente. His hair is magic.

Always bet on the Crecente. Always.

@excel_excel: EPIC!!!!!! Ahh NOW WE GET TO POST IT!!!!! I'm not doing it... i don't have the balls.

Geez, you can't BUY a comment in this thread....O_O;

Crecente FTW

@patapon: Because of that, I can't help but read it as "Mike Faheyta" :/

Stevie Nicks

Ashcraft, since he's gonna stay home and enjoy some beer.
