I find it funny that fucking Activision of all people grew the balls to call Microsoft out on its bullshit. Not necessarily because they could be right, but because MS can't really punish them for taking the piss out of them without losing a guaranteed system-seller like CoD.

Remember how Microsoft charges fourty thousand dollars from a developer in order to upload a fucking patch? They waited until the eve of a new console gen to finally reverse that shit.

And no, there isn't yet confirmation as to whether this applies to the Xbone - only the 360 so far.

Figure I may as well post it here, but Microsoft has revealed the first Xbox 360 game that'll be available to all Xbox Live Gold subsribers, new or current. At least, I think it's the first one. Might be the second. No idea. Anyways, Fable III until June 30. Apparently it's been there since the 16th, but I only got the fucking e-mail today.

I dunno. Next game will be unveiled July 1 and will likely only be free until the 15th. The promotion is also called "Games with Gold".

Xbox's Albert Penello says that arguing about the One vs. PS4 tech specs is meaningless, yet boasts about the One's "power of the cloud" and "individually tweaked for optimum performance" components within the box, among other things.

Yea... if you're gonna say that the specs are meaningless, it would help to not boast about your console's specs in the same conversation, dumbass.

Trying to brag about "cloud power", if anything, just further highlights that your console is a weak piece of shit in comparison to the competition, so much that it needs a seperate computer to handle extra calculations for them. Besides the fact that this opens up the opportunity for offline games to lag just like multiplayer games to begin with, this is still going to end up affecting people with little to no internet, and ultimately end up with a weaker version of the console for the cardinal sin of not being rich and privaleged.

He says this in spite of the fact that they had to underclock the Xbone in order to not damage itself.

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

Sometimes I wonder if these PR guys actually know what cloud power is. Where's that funny parody video when you need it?

Microsoft exec confirms that not only will Kinect be able to read QR codes, they will in fact replace the 25 digit code previously needed to redeem online content.

...wait, what? Not only did Microsoft come up with a fucking good idea, they wrangled it out of the Kinect to boot? Now that's unprecedented.
