(Some Of) The Big Stuff:

Ten-year Ubisoft veteran Jade Raymond that the Kansas City Royals' love for Supercell's mobile hit Clash of Clans nearly ruined the team's season. The team got so swept up playing the game that they often played in the locker room instead of devoting their energy to improving their real-world baseball game. It all worked out in the end, though, as the Royals are now playing against the San Francisco Giants for a World Championship.

It's mind-blowing. Their words.
Pity the poor publishers. They want to keep their big projects under wraps, but need to hire new blood to get them going. So they sneak up little morsels onto LinkedIn job listings - at which point we strike, like news-hungry wolves. Let us show you our latest prey. 2K Games has quietly spent the last month putting up adverts for new dev positions at the studio - many of which point directly to at least one new project being organised in-house on behalf of an "unannounced development studio" in the San Francisco Bay Area.

It's that time of year again folks. Time to play video games live on the internet for an inordinate amount of the time! GameSpot's third annual Extra Life effort will see our entire international crew take part in a monster 100 hour gaming marathon. For the children!

What will we play during that 100 hours? Well 100 games of course, chosen by live viewers at the beginning of every hour using the poles on GameSpot's chat. This year's target sits at $20,000, just over what we made last year - with all funds going to Oakland Children's Hospital and Research Center.

This year's stream will once again be split across GameSpot's three international offices. Our headquarters in San Francisco will get the ball rolling at noon on Wednesday, passing over to our UK colleagues after twenty-four hours. Jess, Zorine and the team down in GameSpot AU will pick it up from them once we hit forty-eight before passing back to the San Francisco crew for the final twenty-eight hours stint.

See you there friends.

For the Children!
