Xbox can't help itself; it finds rakes out of nowhere to step on, and its all self-inflicted. There won't be any trips in the Tardis anytime soon, and who is to blame? George Miller wants to sell Mad Max, but why? And Fox buys Roku, which feels oddly familiar.

Major Announcement we are shifting our coverage. This is a permanent change. No there isn't news about PlayStation raising prices. Or That Dave Chappelle is coming to CoD. Nintendo losing a lawsuit, not here. Netflix raising prices, I guess that might warrant sports coverage. Also not sure who Supergirl or He-man are.
