in NewsThe news you might have missed
I've spent the last three weeks getting married, going on a honeymoon, diving The Great Barrier Reef and getting The Bends. It seems a lot went on while I was gone, but rather than spam your RSS, Twitter and Facebook feeds with a dozen new articles, I thought a summary of those stories would be best, prior to business as usual.

in NewsPC gaming booming, Steam hits 5 million concurrent users
It has been pointed out that Steam hit 5 million simultaneous users this morning. That's a new record, set with a substantial margin. Last September Steam set its previous record with 4 million users online at the same time. Comparatively, for the sake of fan-boy arguments, the highest number of concurrent players on Xbox LIVE was 3.3 million users on November 8, 2011. Of course, these numbers don't account for all PC gamers, just those on Steam at that moment. A breakdown reveals that the most pl... -
