AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH So much E3 madness it can’t be contained in a singular podcast, it has to be split between eight co-hosts and three parts! Listen to the extravaganza that is E3 as we go over the press conferences, make fun of Konami, and finally go over every game that I (Artie) saw at the show. XCOM! DEUS EX! THE 3DS!

What do you see in this picture? Is it a 60″ Sony Television with a signed copy of Mafia II? Because if that’s what you see you might want to get your eyes checked out.

You’re tasked with discovering information and tid bits about the three mafias in Mafia II, do a good job and you’ll get to see exclusive screenshots, character histories, and in-game information. Do a REALLY GOOD job and you can win some sweet prizes. Check out the official release:
