When discussing the history of E3, it's impossible not to bring up the single most infamous presser in the event's history - Konami's insane, hilarious shambles of a show in 2010.

The company's 100-minute disaster-piece of a conference saw Konami show their ass in a way that no publisher ever has at E3, suggesting that whoever was in charge of the conference was either drunk or asleep at the wheel.

From opening technical issues to Japanese developers speaking in broken English, an over-emphasis on niche rhythm and sports games, and the fact that not a single game was compellingly presented, it is truly the most shocking-yet-hilarious series of reveals that E3 has ever seen.

If you were lucky enough to watch the conference live, you'll likely remember how quickly it became a viral phenomenon, and for many of the principal producers and developers featured on the show this remains the dubious height of their fame.
