Noby Noby Boy Concludes With a Letter to the Players
GIRL's journey through the solar system of Noby Noby Boy is finally complete. The pink, interstellar worm has stretched from Earth to Pluto, into the sun, and back to Earth again after nearly seven years of cumulative effort.

Changes Coming to Rainbow Six Siege Playlists
Changes are coming to Tom Clancy's Rainbox Six Siege playlists this month, Ubisoft has confirmed in a post to the Ubisoft forums. The game's casual and ranked playlists will be updated.
In mid-December, Ubisoft plans to sync up the HUD of the casual and ranked playlists, making the experience as consistent as possible. The idea is to allow casual players to "feel welcome to try a more 'competitive' playlist and get a rating for their performances, without having to re-learn or re-adapt to new settings." By evening out the experience, ranked players will be able to try out new strategies in the casual playlist, without compromising their rankings.

NASA’s Using PlayStation VR to Learn How to Operate Robots in Space
NASA has sent humanoid-like robots to space in the past and they've proven to be incredibly useful. The problem, however, is controlling those robots while still on Earth, and that's proving to be a bit difficult at the moment.
