The Internet Declares War On The U.S. Army Esports Discord Channel
The military has long had a foot in gaming, most notably as a recruitment tool with efforts like the early 2000s' America's Army series. The army's gaming arm came back into the public eye this week, after the U.S. Army's esports account tweeted 'UwU' in response to a tweet by chat app Discord. It was odd.

Xbox 'Edinburgh' Leaks Online
The Xbox Series X is set to release sometime this holiday season, and if you believe the latest rumors and reports, it will be accompanied by the Xbox Series S, a cheaper and less powerful version of the former. That said, there's now possibly a third Xbox console unaccounted for called the Xbox 'Edinburgh.' What 'Edinburgh' is, isn't clear, but it's making the rounds within the Xbox community as the Internet speculates over what it could be.

Word of Xbox 'Edinburgh' comes way of Windows Central journalist Jez Corden, who relays world of the console but doesn't say much about it or how he knows of its existence. What Corden does do is warn Xbox fans not to get hyped for a handheld or a new form factor, as this 'might be something like an XCloud server blade.' Meanwhile, Corden also notes it's possible this could be an all-digital version of the Xbox Series X. Others have suggested this could be the dev kit codename, but we already know the dev kit's name is Dante.
