    In the wake of just-released information about the new mini-E3, we present to you this guide to getting an invite to the new, downsized show. An invite-only event in which publishers decide which outlets get to cover them creates conflicts of interest. Given limited space, publishers will naturally want to invite only those outlets that give them favorable coverage (and positive reviews). Some sites will take the cue and will obligingly pull punches. It could get ugly. Browse previous Picture It posts here. [Update 1: Fixed queue / cue error. Oops.]

    See all previous "Picture It" posts. A quick note on this series: we've received no small amount of positive and negative feedback on this series of graphs. Most of the negative feedback has to do with the frequency of the graphs. We'll continue to post these nearly daily for as long as our imaginations supply us with fodder for new graphs. We encourage commenters to move beyond feedback on frequency and move into the real discussion. What's that real discussion? in this case, we're suggesting several areas for discussion.
