On the Short-Takes this week Microsoft has some more new features and requirements in mind for the next Xbox, Bungie makes an announcement about their new project, the Skylander franchise moves past the $1 Billion in sales mark, Valve holds a "great cleansing", and Steam for Linux finally launches.
As we return from an unintentional break we face the ridiculous amount of comment backup we have caused, we talk about what Valve's Big Picture Mode means for the future of the service, and wish THQ a fond farewell.
