The news includes:

VGRT Gaming Podcast 217: Pre-E3 ShowVGRT Gaming Podcast 217: Pre-E3 Show

The TD Gaming Podcast and Videogame Roundtable merge, as Jonah Falcon introduces VGRT regular Jordan Lund to his new listeners, as the VGRT Gaming Podcast is born.

The podcast is a little rushed, however, as E3 approaches, giving the duo only some time to discuss the eventful past week, which includes the following news:

The NGP to be called the PlayStation Vita
PS4 in development .. oops, no it’s not
DC Comics 1st day distribution
Dungeon Empires out of beta
Dead or Alive 3DS = child porn?
Gears of War: Exile and Halo HD leaked
Bungie showing new game on 7/7
Gamestop honoring Duke Nukem Forever preorders
Sales of Trials HD hit 2M
Call of Duty: Elite announced

For this podcast, this Question of the Week is, “What game do you want to learn about the most at E3” Of course, by the time the next podcast is launched, that question will probably be satisfied. As for Reader Feedback, we didn’t have time to answer it, but we will respond to it next week!
