Extended play edition of The Bender wrapping up the FULL E3 conference in one neat package, listen now!

The first Post-E3 Best of the Week had a lot of E3 follow-up news, a few announcements, one awesome rumor and videos… lots of videos…

Just in time for Pre-E3 hype, Capcom questions their Japanese presence at E3 while Square Enix and Koei both make clear that their E3 presence will be limited. Why? Swine flu. That’s why… sissies… other than that, the big news was that 3D Realms says they’re not closed.
