    Episode 7: The NewsBits Awaken

    Hey, so like, Newsbits are back. Yay? Yay. To those that don't know, Newsbits are the CS-Nation precursor to QuickHits. I don't know if they were "News Bits" or "NewsBits" but for now they'll be whatever I feel like typing at the time. I probably should have included the other two "quickhits" items from today in with this, but I only realized too late how much "not quite important at this point in time for a proper news post news items" there were today.
