As it does every year, E3 has come and gone in a flash: the conferences are done with, all the big announcements are out in the open, and the stage is set for the next 12 months of gaming.

As exciting a time as it is to be a gamer, especially with the potential of the looming VR craze, E3 was a host as usual to a variety of jaw-dropping moments, ranging from incredible announcements to those more awkward, embarrassing and totally confusing ones.

With the conferences having so many moving parts and developers having so much money staked on all these projects, it's only natural that there are going to be eccentricities, huge surprises (for better and for worse) and things that don't quite fly so well.

Here are 23 WTF moments from E3 2016...

23. That Totally Insane Woman In Sony's Orchestra

Sony opened their conference in sure style with an orchestra rendition of the score from the upcoming God of War game.

Before the footage was revealed, we were treated to a lengthy piece of music from a gigantic orchestra, which at one point even featured a clearly deranged woman banging a drum while making guttural throat sounds into the microphone.

It was both one of the funniest and strangest moments of this year's E3, taking away a little of the intense magic of that wonderful orchestra, but dialing the insanity up to 11 (which seems fairly appropriate for a God of War presentation).
