E3 was a doozy! Our eyeballs are still bleeding from watching and reading all the coverage. You sure won’t hear us complaining that there wasn’t enough new info – as is evidenced by the length of this episode. Hard to believe that this is only one week of news. This week we talk about, well, everything. We’re also very excited to receive our first call-in questions.
Opening sponsorship spot is a clip from Ehren Ziegler’s spoof video, “Your Lightsaber and You.” Watch the whole thing at Comedy Central here.

On the dialog wheel I noticed on the game play videos from E3 that the circle to the left of the choices had a blue or red symbol in it when they highlighted different choices. Not a fist or olive branch but they seem to have the same mechanic.
Nice work witch Podcast. I’m from Poland and I have to say that I’m stepping on thin line of been throw from work because I’m listening all of yours Podcast.
But what the hell my boss can kiss my ***
Keep going what you do
Thought I would post this really funny link for Roxanne, regarding ME3 and homosexual relationships!

@Suxhi As far as I can tell from watching the videos, the blue and red symbols pop up only the conversation choices which are actually going to affect your Dark and Light Side points. If it’s just a run-of-the-mill exchange, you don’t get any indication from mousing over.
@Przemek Oh no, don’t get fired because you’re listening to us! 😀
@Airia That link is great, thanks for pointing it our way.
Great show once again. There was so much information that Bioware gave us, even if the EA press conference was slow start. I think Bioware left everyone wanting the game release by the end of week.
@Kathy: I so agree about questions that were answered. They revealed some story details about choices the Trooper needs to make, and no I am not going to post the spoiler.
Thanks, Jason. 🙂
Yeah, I remember that Trooper bit!
@Kathy
Just to be clear, Jennifer was trolling, and it was grand.
@Airia
Can devs troll their own forums? Learn something every day 😛
I wish I could read this thread for context, can’t seem to find it, but I don’t really get the sense that Jennifer is joking here. Didn’t she write Anders in DA2? I feel like that is pretty compelling evidence that she’s in earnest.
I could be wrong.
