  1. A major announcement today by Xbox head Phil Spencer could change the way consoles are sold. This is classic "May you live in interesting times" information.

     

    They can't beat Sony this generation, it's true.. but by focusing on incremental upgrades and backwards compatibility, they can really change the console paradigm (ugh. Did I just use the words "Change the paradigm" non-ironically???)

  2. Bizarre situation at the $3,000,000 DOTA2 Shanghai Major tournament.

     

    Gabe Newell channels Vince McMahon - Fires EVERYBODY. 

     

    Main announcer? Fired (and called an ass, and said he'd never work for Valve ever again)

     

    Production Company? Fired. Mid-tournament. Not even a "You'll never work for me again".

  3.  

    The folks behind the Upcoming Battletech game are doing a charity stream as a result of the huge Kickstarter campaign they had. Featuring the folks at Harebrained Schemes against the game's current holders at Catalyst Game Labs, and the rules are: Lose your Mech, lose your beard! (yes, they are doing a Lucha De Apuestas.. Six beards enter, 3 beards (or less) leave!)

  4. the latest game coming up from Paradox Interactive, Stellaris, looks like nine or ten billion types of fun. A sci-fi 4x game from Paradox? Yes please (So far, there's been dev diaries on uplifting primitive species to do your dirty work fleets, alliances and even federations, which allow you to build ships using the best of several races technology.. but with all the political issues that come with it.) No release date for it yet, but I think that it's a good thing after some of the day one bugginess of past games.. but their games are INCREDIBLY deep.
