While at E3 last week, errant IC co-founder Brandon covered the show for Gamasutra, and its sister weblog GameSetWatch (which I run nowadays) compiled a list of links to some of his best interviews, many of which are eminently interesting to IC readers - Q's Tetsuya Mizuguchi, Gamevil President Kyu Lee, Hudson Entertainment's John Lee, among others.

Also, my favorite event of the show (yes, even including Robin Williams' relentless penis jokes while demonstrating Spore) - Space Ghost interviewing Peter Moore over at the GameTap booth. Any space-based talk show host who can make the Xbox VP dance for a dollar is worth a few minutes of my time, I'd wager.

In addition, over at GSW, there's assorted other E3-related madness - I picked my favorite alt.games of the show, 'Cinematech: Nocturnal Emissions' producer Ryans weighed in with some other 'key E3 titles', and Kevin 'Video-Fenky' Gifford decided to check out the E3 1995 floorplans, just to compare and contrast - Sega had the biggest booth back then, oh my, whereas this year, giant Shadow the Hedgehog statues openly mocked us - how the mighty hath fallen. We now return you to your normal IC programming...

Note from brandon: I also interviewed Kazuma Kaneko of Shin Megami Tensei fame. Might want to checcccccck.
