Valve has released the big 7.00 update for Dota 2 today. Dubbed "The Journey Update" this update for the Dota 2 client brings about substantial changes to the game. We're talking about new Hero Talent Trees, the addition of the Monkey King Hero, a UI overhaul, big changes to the map, and plenty more.
The full list of changes, which are far too numerous to copy here, can be found at the Dota 2 Gamepedia wiki since Valve has apparently not put them up yet(?).

Microsoft Increases Price of Xbox Live Gold to $60 for 6 Months
That's a 100% increase in some cases.
Microsoft has officially increased the price of Xbox Live Gold. It used to be that you could get an entire year of Gold for just $60 (USD). Now, you get just six months of Gold for $59.99. This makes a year of Xbox Live Gold as much as $120, or double what it used to be not that long ago.
Other price increases include the three-month plan for $29.99 (USD), and one-month is now $10.99. These price increases will impact new and lapsed...

Giant's Shadow - Battlefield 1 Patch Notes for December 13
The patch notes for tomorrow's (December 13) update for Battlefield 1 were released earlier than normal. Typically, we're sitting here waiting for the patch notes to drop hours after the actual update is out. Not so for this one!
This is the "Giant's Shadow" update. A new map arrives that places you in the Battle of Selle on a cold autumn day in 1918. Of course, despite this map pack being free, those with Premium will still get it early (tomorrow), while the rest have to wait until December 20.
This update will include some non-time gated content too. This includes a Spectator Mode, a new game setting that gives everyone a bolt-action rifle (yay, historical accuracy), and plenty of changes and balancing for classes, vehicles, maps, and more. It has a Model 10-A nerf (how this wasn't done before is a mystery). It has a fix for 'some' DirectX 11 hanging issues. It's got a little bit of everything!... -
