E3 2016 is behind us and we warm back into a regular show format, discussing the (very light) gaming news which has happened since the last episode (Oculus fanboys beware). After that, we run down what we've been playing - though to be honest, after the last couple of really packed weeks, we've all been taking the time to do non-gaming-related things. Oh, and hang around till after the credits to hear about what Thurbleton has been up to and a quick recap on his thoughts on E3 since he wasn't with us at the time. Music: "The Golden Show" and "Lost" by Shoji Meguro Run Time 2:24:23 Panel: selfconfessedcynic, No0b0rAmA, Squiddel and Thurbleton Plugs! Thurbleton recommends the cool new game, House of the Dieing Sun which is available on Steam.

E3 2016 is wrapping up! Dourin's here to talk Zelda and then cover some things we missed during the show (including a couple news topics from interviews during the week). After that we discuss our high points and top picks from this year's great games! (as mentioned on the show) Mass Effect Details: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1234013

Nintendo showed Zelda and Pokemon today and outlets aren't back from the show floor yet to give impressions so we do a DEEP dive on that. Well, Zelda anyway. We talk about Zelda for 1h15m before moving on to a quick shot of Pokemon and some small updates on things we missed which happened around the press conferences.

E3 IS BACK BABY. PRESS CONFERENCE DAY. SO HYPE.

Wow what a first day! What SWINGS! We had some really high moments today, but MAN were there some low lows. This special is a mashup of two recordings, each taken directly after a press conference - EA, then Bethesda. Look out for a similar thing tomorrow.

Oh my god E3 is in just a couple of hours. This is the 1st of 5 podcasts which will be uploaded this E3, and as it says on the tin, this is our pre-show. We discuss all the leaks as of T-14 hours and speculate wildly on what we expect of the show. Have fun listening, cos we definitely had some fun recording this roller-coaster of an episode.

This is our world now... the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud. We make use of the service already existing without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals. We explore... and you call us criminals. We seek after knowledge, and you call us criminals. We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religous bias... and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals. Yes, I am a crimial. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something you will never forgive me for. I am a Hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual, but you can't stop us all. After all... we're all alike.

It's getting to that time of year. The hype is slowly building. For the first half of the show, we touch on some gaming news and the normal "what we've been doing" stuff. That's followed by the second half of the show where we begin our pre-E3 predictions and speculation! This week we talk about what we expect from EA, Bethesda and Microsoft, especially given some of the leaks that have just come to light.

Fallout 4 is finally here and we slip the needle out of our veins for a couple of hours to talk about... Star Wars? No, not battlefront. Well, you'll see. Anyway, video games, movies and other stuff are discussed as we catch up on the weeks we missed - but don't fear, the last half of the show is Noob and Cynic talking about Fallout.
