AU News Wrap, August 25 - What happened today

Any second now, someone's going to turn up and take over so I can go lie in a puddle of blankets and hate everything. Any. Second. Now - there we go.

Every time my partner goes away, I get sick. This is to make me remember why I don't live alone once I've had a few days of shouting "hooray junk food", "dishes? NEVER" and "I can play all the games all the time". I suspect there are viral traps laid around the house to cause this. It has nothing to do with bad diet and lack of sleep. Don't be silly.

Here's the pitiful amount of news I managed to scrounge for you today. Check out Steph's shift, and Johnny's past that, for much more impressive achievements. Pat will be along soon to rescue me. I mean you. I mean, inform you. Can I go back to bed now.

We'll have another delightful gamescom preview up for you soon, too.
