A rather odd and stupid series of stories brings us back together for a new show, and tangents keep us laughing, Terrible Resetera articles, Activision laying off 800ish employees, EVO not liking T&A, Oxford telling us we should have known decades ago and even some Nintendo hype news to balance it all off. Boy its been one hell of a week.

2. Oxford study - no link between violence and games
3. Yusuke Hashimoto departing Platinum games
4.  Activision Blizzard lay off around 800 people after record earnings call
