Shiniest Objects: Somebody Clean This Up
News in January is just weird. It’s full of pats on the back, wild speculation, and release dates. I miss Epic Release Fall. We get back in the groove with our first full week of being Horrible of the new year which kicks off our first entry in January’s look at Gaming Regrets.
Every day we are on the look out for the most interesting news items in the gaming industry. Some make it on the site as headlines, and the articles that just miss the cut end up in the Shiny Objects feed on our Horrible Night Newswire Google+ Page. Every Monday we recap the shiniest of the objects, and our original articles from the previous week.
