New Team CFB - Captain Luis Scott-Vargas, fresh off of his year-long break from the Pro scene, and will consist of members from each of the two CFB teams from last season: Martin Juza and Josh Utter-Leyton, previously of Team CFB Ice, plus Mike Sigrist, Ben Stark, and Paulo Vitor Dama da Rosa, previously of Team CFB Fire. That leaves the other Team CFB Fire and Ice players from last season, like Eric Froelich, as free agents—though LSV mentioned that there’s a chance ChannelFireball will add a second team. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvQPXyjDJFE

Eternal Weekend is this coming weekend in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where folks from around the globe will convene to mostly play robots. Additionally, the new trailers for Pacific Rim and Star Wars dropped recently, plus there was the recent USA vs. Japan mega-robot battle, and the snow-bot featured on Some Disassembly Required, and with all that together this week is quite robot-themed. So with all of the machine machinations we’ve discussed, and all of the bugs currently in our systems, what are you hoping to upgrade in your own personal software?

Last week, it was announced that on December 15th after 20 years AOL will be discontinuing America Online Instant Messenger service, better known as AIM. This is a huge blow to many who used the long-running instant messenger service that was core to many people’s first social experiences on the internet. So as we set our away messages and tag our availability statuses for the last time, how will you remember AIM?

Super Mario Odyssey is coming out soon for Nintendo Switch, and people are already excited for the additions and technology added to the new 3D platformer. But some folks are more focused on different additions to Mario… specifically Mario’s nipples. Add to this the stupid sexy Jace controversy from Ixalan, and it seems we nerds are a bit perturbed by our icons removing their garb. So which gaming icon are you looking forward to taking off their tee next?
