Morning friends. Monday morning it is here. The video game world continues to spiral into madness and spit out morsels of news for our sleepy consumption. This is what you might have missed while you were snoozing.

What else? Well, Sony is selling its Tokyo headquarters, you can now eat Tetris blocks in Japan (in the form of tasty, tasty gummy snacks) and these are the video game people you should be following on Twitter.
