#rumor You knew it was coming, what with that not-so-subtle teaser website put up by Sega last week, but the publisher has gone one better over the weekend, seemingly (and accidentally) revealing that Valkyria Chronicles 3 will be shown at TGS. More »

There are ... aspects of our life that we thought we had long since put behind us -- aspects that look like they might just resurface in the coming weeks. We're speaking, of course, of our Halo LAN party days; those long, Mountain Dew-fueled high school afternoons that would quickly turn into Mountain Dew-fueled high school evenings and then, in the blink of an eye, Mountain Dew-fueled high school following afternoons.

We could see ourselves repeating these dark ceremonies with Halo: Reach, though we fear we lack our old nubile resilience in the face of horribly unhealthy eating habits. Luckily, we've got a training strategy: For every unit the PSP lost week-to-week in the Japanese hardware sales figures posted after the jump, we will eat one Dorito.

Oh God. Oh God, no.

Though a "Steam Wallet" sounds like some sort of futuristic contraption which heats and presses your bills to a crisp finish, it's actually a new payment option Valve has sent into beta for its Steam platform. Rather than taking money directly out of your debit or credit card and using that money to buy a game, you can now take money directly out of your debit or credit card, and put it in a Steam Wallet in $5, $10, $25, $50, and $100 increments, and then use that money to buy a game.

While this new program might seem like an unnecessary middleman to us grown-ups, we can see the merit for youngsters who don't have access to their own forms of intangible currency. What better way to teach them the value of five fake-bucks than to let them loose in the world's biggest video game store?

Possibly more than any other regularly scheduled update for a modern video game, we're positively mystified by the weekly roster changes Madden NFL 11 will undergo. EA Sports just launched the "Week One" update for the title, a patch which encompasses over 500 changes to the game's catalog of footballers, including player additions, releases, trades, statistic changes and injuries. Over 500 changes! That's so, so many changes.

You can check out the full list of player adjustments on Madden's official site. Or, you can just download the update with no knowledge of what it contains, and be constantly surprised by all the new stuff. (Your star wide receiver's now on the injured list! Surprise! Your favorite offensive lineman just retired! Surprise!)
