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 = ???

I'm still really hurting for a multiplayer experience that's just as awesome as Bad Fur Day 64's was. I'm mean sure, the controls were clunky as fuck most of the time, but in a wierd way that was part of the charm - and fuck, the weapons? They were all ridiculously overpowered and bombastic in their own way, the majority of them capable of easy one hit kills, and yet in that same sense they manage to balance themselves out pretty well. I'm still really pissed off that they abandoned that for Live and Reloaded in exchange for... some arbitary, boring class-based shooter.

Not Xbox One-related, but the Points-to-local-currency update has just gone live on (I assume) all Xbox 360 consoles. Prices on everything on the Live Marketplace will reflect your local area or something like that. I have no idea how the 360 does region shit.

Just be aware that your converted funds are limited and will expire in I think it was like three months? I dunno. I had $11.22 after the conversion and just used up about $9.95 or something downloading Poker Night 2. Because the trial version made me laugh way more than I expected.

I heard it was 2014 when the money expired.

I got an e-mail shortly afterwards, saying that my converted funds will expire on the first of June, 2015. So I was way off with my guess. We've got a long time to spend those monies.

And if you add more money it will make sure that the expiring monies is used first.

Voice commands only work in 5 regions at launch. No, Australia isn't included, Luffy.

Is this fucking thing even ready to launch?

FIFA pack-in only comes with the Day One Edition.

External storage unsupported at launch, built-in hard drive is irreplacable.

I think it's safe to say that even if you DO plan on buying an Xbone, you should probably wait 6-12 months after launch for Microsoft to actually finish the fucking thing. At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if they're setting themselves up for a fresh wave of RRoD's, too.

I still plan to get one, but I did say that I was going to wait at least a year.

Xbox team gets a white Day One Edition. For free. All first-party games, too.

The console will also support eight controllers simultaneously.
