Uhoh, the rumor mill is circling around Valve. Several employees were allegedly laid off on Tuesday, and there may have been terminations that involve "large decisions." Jason Holtman the director of business development, or I should say, former, because he's no longer in the company's public employee directory. Valve isn't saying a thing, the rumored number of people let go is 25, and people are very confused at the moment.

According to someone who is "familiar" with the matter Microsoft is continuing to make us all parts of Skype of Borg, and shoveling it onto the Xbox console as the default chat service. Does this mean we can skype chat with our Kinects?  Do I have to tie Skype to my gamer tag? WILL SKYPE DO MY LAUNDRY!? Find out next time on As the Console Red Rings.

Oh, speaking of the next XBox code named Durango, the rumors are continuing that it'll release in November. This is from a REAL news source, Bloomberg!

Ubisoft has apparently pulled their head out of their asses, and they talked to people about what they'd like in the next Assassin's Creed. Multiplayer you say? FORSOOTH!

If you are a wizard and were playing to go to Chechnya, I have bad news. There is now a ban on all wizards and false healers in the country, because they don't want you taking advantage of their people. Way to ruin things for everybody, Snape. You're such a tool.

Warner Brothers wants to do another reboot instead of actually trying to create something new, which is apparently impossible in Hollywood these days. What are they rebooting? The Wizard of Oz. No, seriously.  They want to continue the story in a Game of Thrones fashion, with swords and a hardcore Tin Man. It will be titled Red Brick Road, and so far, my care level is low.

Great Falls Montana accidentally aired an emergency broadcast warning the residents that "the bodies of the dead are rising from their graves and attacking the living." Zombie Apocalypse in my pancake commercials! Or KRTV had someone hack into the Emergency Alert System. Apparently four people called the cops to verify the zombie apocalypse.
