Podcast Beyond Episode 398.5: A Very Special Giant-Sized E3 Episode

Ladies and gentlemen, as I'm sure you're all well aware, the bulk of IGN was extremely busy covering E3 down in Los Angeles. A regular episode of Beyond wasn't possible, so we did the next best thing: we brought microphones to a bar and recorded over three and a half hours of totally unscripted, fairly intoxicated conversation with a cross-section of people from the video game industry.

Disclaimer: This episode was very much an experiment, and the results are rough around the edges; it's noisy, disorganized, at times fairly incoherent -- but it's also about as close as you're gonna get to actually being right there with us.

In no particular order, here are the people who were kind enough (or drunk enough) to join us for this massive episode of Beyond:

Brian Altano
Troy Baker
Steve Butts
Anthony Carboni
Alexa Rae Corriea
Mitch Dyer
James Faulkner
Arthur Gies
Andrew Goldfarb
Vince Ingenito
Ashley Johnson
Luke Karmali
Daniel Krupa
Greg Miller
Gav Murphy
Jose Otero
Jenna Pitcher
Zach Ryan
Max Scoville
Marty Sliva
Nathan Vella

Also, a huge, very special thanks to the extremely tolerant wait staff at The Hotel Figueroa, especially the waitress who gave me a wet willy while we were recording. That was very strange, but oddly flattering? In any case, we'll have a "regular" episode going up later this week for those of you who hate fun.
