Today we're taking a look at E3 Show Daily, the official magazine of E3. Published each day the show floor is open, this convention magazine recaps the biggest news and announcements. But this episode is about more than a trade publication. Find out what we miss the most about E3 when you watch today's episode of 29 Magazines of Christmas.


Excerpt: Hey ... wake up. Look, I get it, there's nothing worse than talking about a trade magazine that will be obsolete within 24 hours. Most of the magazines we've covered have reviews, rumors and editorial features. I mean, Foul may have been an awful magazine, but this dopey article about leaving your husband for a PlayStation 2 can still be enjoyed a decade later. Show Daily, on the other hand, is more of a newspaper, and so its pages are filled with all the announcements you may have missed.

On Tomorrow's Episode: There are only four more episodes to go until the 29 Magazines of Christmas finale. We have a real special episode for you tomorrow. On Sunday's episode, find out what my very first Zine looked like. Trust me, you won't want to miss this episode.
