Beyond rapping about games, the guys do the occasional interview, highlight especially interesting PlayStation content (the incredible XMB theme above, for instance), and this week they’re kicking off their “Origin stories” series on the game industry. The guys also have an insider eye into the goings on behind some of PlayStation’s neatest stuff, so it behooves you to give them a shot.

DICE has said it plans to publish a “significant” update to Battlefield 3 on PC next week. According to an official blog post on the matter, players will see “improved polish, stability, weapons balancing, squad control functionality, user interface enhancements,” and several other features which have been addressed due to feedback from the community. The “negative mouse acceleration” will also be removed as well.
The patch will be released on the console after it passes certification, so expect it sometime after the PC version is released.
