All’s I know is…that glass is hella dusty.
When’s Windex?
Cmon Homie lol, are we not free to joke around with each other, Koax knows im just busting his chops. Its no where near this serious, i thought the subtle star wars reference be indication enough lol. I’ll make sure my manner is more jovial for you next time good sir.
Koax knows im just busting his chops.
Does he Dan…** DOES HE!?**
whoa. page 84 didnt even load for me, i had no idea ya were even going in lol.
Yeah to be clear, i was just kidding… these consoles aren’t even out yet, let us not spill any more milk lol.
I mean, he just posted a picture, he didnt say "hey guys, how do you feel about “XYZ” " . If he said that, i’d probably give him an actual answer lol.
We all need to calm down. A) These things aren’t even on the shelves yet B)They are both good machines with good games, what is their to debate. To be honest, no debate is even worth it til we actually see how these units sell.
I dont think microsoft is neglecting the international market, the xbox 360 today is not a global console, it preforms well in very specific regions of the world. X1 doesn’t want to be Nintendo or Sony for that matter, they are really happy with the marketshare they have, and to be honest the X1 is a product made for that particular market. 90% of xbox 360 owners are actively on xbox live daily ( i didnt just pull that out my ass, im trying to find the article and link it). They have faith that the people who are actually going to buy X1s wont have a problem with the online requirment. Its a calculated decision and with the metrics they have today, its not a crazy one. The used game stuff, thats pretty iffy I do agree, if there is anything blantantly outrageous about their policy so far, thats it. However, when i step back, what makes this a far cry from how PC games are done today, most PC games come with a cd key , or some restricting condition so that i can only install it on one device. I can’t just give my copy of starcraft 2 to my friend. you see what im saying? and to be honest, maybe its a horrible idea and it will fail, but can we at least see if it does before we declare the sky is falling.
And Sony isn’t really clean here either, did nobody see the announcement that the used game stuff only is guaranteed by 1st party games? and that 3rd party publishers are free to use DRM to their hearts desire? and given the impressive number of ps4 exclusives not shown, this is actually alil eye popping if you ask me?
If you want a PS4 go ahead and get it , im not gonna stop you. I’m pro X1 becuz they have games i want to play that PS4 does not have and never will have. Halo and TitanFall just to name a few. I was sad for less than a day about kingdom hearts and FF15 , then it got revealed that it was cross platform so… that ship sailed.
At the end of the day, for me personally. Its all about the games i want to play, and if A has more than B. Imma get A . A for this particular moment happens to be X1. Had the game slates been reversed, id be holding that PS4 flag.
crap. the spirit of wednesday took over, i didnt mean to write that whole wall of text lol.
Ploop.

I’ll just leave that there.
I was wondering are the games of Xbone tied to the machine or the account? Because I see people try to say it’s like Steam and people saying other things. With Steam the games are tied to the account. You can actually use your same account and play your games on a different machine, and it also has offline mode so you can play without the internet, so if there are any problems with the service you still have access to your games. If Xbone was account based, does that mean that if you wanted to play on your friends Xbone but with your games, you just log onto your account on his machine and then download and play? That would be a very portable way to play at someone elses house without carrying any games around.
Also one thing that seems weird is that Xbone is getting rid of the point of physical copies of a game. With the Bluray/DVD movie market, physical and DD forms of movies coexist and actually do pretty well. Even if you get rid of physical copies of movies, there are still ways to pirate via DD and if you got rid of DD, then people still have ways to get bootleg physical versions of movies. What I’m saying is that it just seems to get rid of one avenue to gain a copy of a game by making physical discs need a DRM like this. That being said, you can still be competitive in the market and be DRM free by use of competitive pricing and convenience, an example is how gog.com works and how it tries to sell as many games DRM free as possible. One reason I heard Gabe Newell say about why Steam is successful even though it has it’s own DRM practice is due to it’s competitive pricing and Steam actually makes huge profits in areas like Russia and Eastern Europe, which most companies don’t want to touch because really piracy is huge over there.
The games are tied to your account, so when you log in at your friends place, you have access to all the games in your library.
Just thinkin’ about it. . .
Wednesdays, lol.
A momentous Wednesday indeed.

Granted, it's only Monday, but there is no way this week is producing a worse human than this Dunkin' Donuts customer who filmed herself demanding free food because she didn't get a receipt.
Racism is a hell of a drug.
Damn, that video was an EXTRA tease, I thought we were going to see the fireworks show.
-2 points for ordering a Coolatta though, what was she thinking?

Well, near the end though. . .I still don’t know what happens. . .she just completely malfunctions and starts spouting complete racist nonsense. . .
Also, her constant declaration of “I’m moving to Mars”. . .
EDIT: Also, her going off on some weird rant about Arabs being jerks and I think there was a mentioning of the Boston bombings?. . .
May she one day find her soul in the strawberry coolatta of her dreams.
My favorite part had to be the other customers who clearly put their blinders up during the whole ordeal.
I suppose I can’t blame them, they just want to get their donut and leave, but it’s still sad to see.
Tons of great quotes, though.
“I already called my lawyer.”
“I’m gonna nuke your planet from Mars.”
“I have a business degree.”
i haven’t watched but was familiar with the story and the most amazing fact was that she filmed and posted it all herself, thinking she’d get props or some such.
