Welcome to the 17th August episode of our short form weekly news bulletins. Approximately 10 to 15 minutes to round up the weekly games news that you might have missed.

This week Christi Serves up LOTS of Quakecon news, a couple of exciting Switch developments, to name just a few things. It's been a big week for news. Along with some gaming suggestions to accompany the weekend beers.

Give it a whirl and let us know what you think @clodofwar on twitter, or via voice message on the anchor app!
