As Press X deals with the encroaching storm that is E3, we present you with an early episode with our final pre E3 thoughts. Cam rejoins the cast for the first time in a bout a month and we talk more Detroit. Avery, was good on his word and picked up Vampyr and he is of mixed emotions. In a pretty stacked news section, the boys talk Avengers, Devil May Cry, Crackdown, Hitman and a bunch of pre e3 game announcements. Our next couple of episodes will be dealing with the E3 conferences, one for the Sony conference, another for Microsoft, EA, Bethesda, Square and Ubi and then a normal show at our normal time with our Nintendo reflections. This is subject to change but as of right now, thats our E3 dockett and we hope you enjoy it.

Also PUBG is seriously going forward with their Fortnite lawsuit. Good luck with that. Its a good episode, and prepare for a jam packed couple of weeks as we dive deep into E3.

So surpise we're uploading a little bit early thanks to some behind the scenes shenanigans which are pretty evident in the episode. Its a Marcus and Avery production as both DJ and Cam are out living their best adult lives. As the two return to the rapport that made half of the Pop Culture Podcast such a hit(minor at best) they talk all things video games the best they can. In what we are playing, Marcus got his hands on Detroit's demo and in the malaise of a post God of War existence Avery jumped around from game to game sinking further into the madness that is Bloodborne. In a packed gaming news section, we talking Nintendo Online, a ton of E3 news and a surprising cross section of popular culture coliding with itself. We also end the show with a weird conversation about the Witcher's writers room and the contreversy surround it that blossomed into a weird culture topic as they always do. Its a good ep, please enjoy.
