The Round-up: Sexting, the VGAs and a whole lot of hate towards the English

So a pretty big week has passed us by, giving we few writers a hell of a lot to cover.  Permit us, if you will, to assist those who are late to the metaphorical nrm party (we say metaphorical both because that the party is a metaphor for the audience for the website, and also that the thought of any of us hosting a party is laughable imaginary), by offering a whole seven days of coverage in a nice concise package of links for you to divulge upon.  Next Call of Duty in space?  Google search returning results that call English people...well...it rhymes with hunt?  A hydro-jetpack?  Strap in.  This one's a doozy!
