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 = ???

Well, they can't really help that. It actually sounds like a good beta period with at tops 6 regular season weeks, and not to mention the playoffs going into the first of February.

Xbone caught cheating in Twitter polls, uses bots to gain 60% of votes from PS4 in the US.

Apparently Microsoft needs to explicitly say that you can pause games at any time on Xbox One


We flip-flopped because we care. *deep breath* BULL. SHIT!

Yep, more evidence that they want to peer into your lives to better advertise to you.

Didn't they say something about how it's silly that we suspected them of using this to spy on their consumers because 'who would want to watch you?'

And then they answer a rhetorical question with 'advertisers, of course!'

According to that same article, Microsoft denied that statement just two days later. If one statement is right, Kinect is spying on you to deliver targeted advertising, if not more - if the other is, the left hand still doesn't know what the right is doing. I don't view either of these as particularly welcome nuggets of information, especially after the kind of trouble they went to just to back out of both of these problems to start with.

I'm more worried that no one knows what the hell is going on.

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'

If having Technical Issues with the forum please post details in the Board Improvements thread and I'll look into them ASAP

On top of constantly having a tentative recording of the past five minutes of gameplay, the Xbox One's Game DVR feature will automatically save a gameplay video every time you unlock an acheivement.

Did you press start in a game? CONGRATULATIONS HAVE AN ACHIEVEMENT AND A VIDEO THAT SHOWS EXACTLY WHEN YOU PRESSED START.

Oh right forgot the source

Friends, followers, other shit. There's also a new category of Achievements in time-based challenges. Game publisher throws out a challenge over the weekend; those who contribute get it marked on their profile or whatever, while those who don't will most likely have it taunt them forever, never again attainable.



Also, here's what the friends list and gamer profile look like.
