Hello brave Obscureonauts out there in the great dark beyond of them there Information Super-Highways!

We’re invading your ear holes again and this week! Warcraft is giving us all a helping hand with a new in-game browser, although Sil is cynical and thinks it might be a better way to put the Blizzard Store in front of your face while playing… then again, I hear she’s a prick in PvP.

And on that bombshell we find the biggest asshole on the internet, Microsoft need to stop it’s staff sounding off at XBox skeptics on Twitter,  and EA wins the Worst Company in America Award for the second year in a row!

But it’s not all negative, because Ninty is bringing 1950′s classic films, to your childs favorite hand held console…

…wait what?!

If its all getting a little obscure, hit up that play button after the cut!
