We listened to a cavalcade of words come out of hundreds of peoples' mouths so you didn't have to. These were the best ones! Words, that is. (See part two here.)

"I have been stuck on this level of Angry Birds for two months."

-- Audience member at EA's press conference.

"I learned the letter B from Big Bird, how to count from the Count, and how to take care of my body from Cookie Monster."

-- Double Fine's Tim Schafer during the Microsoft press conference, while rubbing his...um...slightly plus-sized tummy.

"Unleash the simulated family!"

-- Schafer again, introing the demo for Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster.

"I believe everyone's creation is their own. I got annoyed in Littlebigplanet when my levels got changed and redistributed. I forgot to check the little box."

"Oh god, you're writing this down. Please, no, the spoilers!"

-- Atlus's Aram Jabbari while detailing ____ about Catherine. 

"I'm thinking of putting on a wig and going to the women's bathroom."

-- Show attendee lamenting the long lines at the men's room.

"Now that I'm into this Pilates thing, I'm pumped."

-- EA CEO John Riccitiello.

"My stomach gets a little pooch when I'm on my period."
