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!

The TD Gaming Podcast heads to an uncertain future, as the TD Gaming Podcast will be closing its run with this cast. Derrick Schommer explains the reason that he and Jennifer will no longer be able to support the podcast, and thank the fans for their devoted support.

Firelands is now live on World of Warcraft‘s Public Test Realm
New R18+ guidelines drawn up
Kojima: This year has become meaningless
Chinese labour camp prisoners forced to play MMOs

We also cover the reader feedback over the past couple of weeks, and the Question of the Week is: what would you like to see happen to the podcast?

If this is the truly the last Gaming Podcast, thanks for your support and praise.

Due to a familial emergency, TD Gaming Podcast is on temporary hiatus. This week is basically an outtake episode, though a bit short because for the last three months or so, the podcast has been pretty clean. However, there are some interesting conversations that you never got to hear.

There’s even an entire news item back from CES that was completely cut, and now you get to hear ten weeks later. Old news is so much fun!

Microsoft Introduces Avatar Kinect

Thanks for your patience, and we’ll have some new podcasts in a few weeks, we promise.
