I don’t know why, but every time we get to this time of the year, everything seems to speed up tenfold. The weeks are now going to fly, and before we know it, the year is going to be done and dusted. Could everything slow done just a little, please?

Comment of the Week
An tweet surfaced this week that suggests that Nintendo’s next console is called the Duo. If that turns out to be true, well, Archdruid Kromas noticed an interesting pattern:
Xbox One
Nintendo Duo
…
PS4Looks like Valve is not the only one who does not count to 3 anymore. 😛
Edit: HL3 Confirmed!

So I just read that graffiti story for CS:GO. And people still stubbornly refuse to see what Valve has become? Valve stopped caring many years ago.

The only big game developer that does seem to care these days is CD Projekt Red.
