Wednesday brings the unofficial start of the unofficial start of the weekend -- the official-unofficial start of the weekend being Thursday. How's that for figuring out something original to say about the Jan Brady of weekdays? It also, however, brings you a new Humpdate episode. Edie and Simon DI dig deep into the first half of the week's news. Despite being deep in the pre-E3 doldrums, there's a hell of a lot going on. Nothing official, but it's the unofficial stuff that gets our tongues wagging. Topics and links after the jump... This week, Simon and Edie discuss:

Research by market survey firm Intellisponse leaked to the internet and suggests a number of game developers ideas for what may be unveiled at E3, including details about new Xbox Live avatars, Guitar Hero: World Tour's controllers, karaoke game Lips, Forza 3, and Spiderman games. Too many to talk about in one podcast.
The rumors of lawsuits and walkouts continue with Tecmo, and if they're true, they allude to potential big worries about the game developer.
Final Fantasy XIII Versus on hold to put more workforce behind Final Fantasy XIII.
New PSP firmware update brings new controls for video playback and internet searches. Look -- it's the Sony iPhone!
Your Wii may not get hard (disk drive), but it will be getting storage, according to Laurent Fischer. Who's your "geek or otaku" now, bitch?
Spore Creature Creator can be run on older Intel Macs. You just need to tweak things a bit. The Unofficial Apple Weblog offers tips to get it running.
Of course, having a PC doesn't make Spore CC any easier. EA having problems with its download manager that prevents some purchasers of the full game from being able to grab the game. Whups!
Rumor has it that Heavenly Sword 2 is cancelled due to problems with Sony Cambridge. Nobody's talking, tho.
PS3 update 2.4 will make you smile. In-game XMB support and trophies will reportedly be on tap.
Call of Duty: World at War trailer will debut on Xbox Live this weekend. We'll all be watching very closely.
Letters from Unreal Tournament clan SayUnkle.com. We love letters!
Thanks to iTunes commentors z.thirteen and Jynx32! Yay team!

Enjoy

Edie to appear on XBL Radio

A small consolation for the lack of a GameHounds podcast this week. If you really need to get a GameHounds fix before next week, look for

The Geekiest week ever!

This is quite a week. It starts today with Microsoft’s presser, tomorrow is Nintendo and Sony’s. By Friday, The Dark Knight opens. It’s almost too much. Almost.
