Enjoy your Xbox One (Angry Joe rant)

Enjoy your Xbox One (Angry Joe rant)
I totally agree with Joe on this, and clearly Xbox knew the “Always Online” was going to be a huge backlash, so they back peddled. I love the fact that it is the PS4 is going to be a game system more than a TV console.
I don't think Xbox One will be a failure because they have hardcore fans they will eat up anything.

This is like the Conan O'Brien/Tonight Show story for me, in that I've been looking at it from so many angles it isn't even funny.

And the thing is, most of the press coverage and comments I've seen have been very negative, even from Xbox fans.

Have you seen this story about one of the patents that Microsoft took out for the Kinect in the new system.

And have you seen the Jimquisition from right after that press event:

Holy, Crap. People back in the day painted Sony as being the bad guy, but this is far beyond anything Sony has tried. I am glad they took it out, but the (one gameplay for one person is a bit too much)


I am shocked MS is abandoning their core gamers with this system.

Just watched the video. Why would MS team up with TV people when they're the ones that have helped bring network TV to its knees?
VGs are one of the reasons TV is in such a sad state that it is in, because more people are playing videogames and not watching TV. Yet, this new system seems to be kneeling down to the TV people. Why?

Money.

And the funny thing in all this is when the used game thing comes up, people bring up Steam and talk about how PC gamers can't trade in their games, so that makes what Microsoft is proposing ok.

If I totally upgrade my computer, all those games I bought on Steam will still be there (while the games people bought digitally for their 360's cannot be played on the new hardware it seems) and because there are other digital distributors, even for games that use Steamworks, there are always avenues to get most of the games on the service for a really really good price.

Now it looks like they're sticking it to Gamestop and other Pre owned sellers too, in order to stop the PR problems with the gamers.

Shannon Fill: Where is she now? (Ensign Sito Jaxa)

Shannon Fill:   Where is she now? SF has been reviewing TNG seasons o ver at his blog. And, the episode Lower Decks came up. I recently watched Lower Decks on Net-flicks and found myself amazed with the performance from the young and lovely Shannon Fill , who played the character Ensign Sito Jaxa. Jaxa showed up in two episodes of TNG, actually they were two important episodes.   There was a nice arc to her character too.   Her character was killed off in Lower Decks , but there were plans to bring her back for an episode of DS9. From Memory Alpha , ((One story considered by the writing staff concerned the return of  Sito Jaxa  from  TNG : " Lower Decks ". The pitch had Sito being imprisoned under inhumane conditions and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.  Robert Hewitt Wolfe  developed the story for some time. Feeling that there was insufficient explanation of Sito's condition, he had Sito killing her cellmate, whom she'd become cl...

a U of L cheerleader gets into a little bit of trouble...

Image
The Internet can be a dangerous place, and things that you did with that camera can come back to ruin your life. A very attractive University of Louisville cheerleader by the name of Becca Manns took some pictures of herself naked and also having sex with a dude. Either her memory stick or camera was stolen, and the theft uploaded the graphic photos onto the World Wide Web. That was when the shit hit the fan (Louisville Fan). She ended up having to leave the program and probably school. (I am currently enrolled in UofL as well, but you won't find any photos of me.) I sort of feel sorry for her because she did one crazy thing, and now it has ruined her life. However, I have to say this to her: You were given a chance to do something many people would never get a chance to do, go to an University. You have to learn fairly quickly that every action good or bad has consequences. Exposing yourself probably wasn't good for your career or your life. (James steps off his ...

Bernie Mac RIP

Bernie Mac is Dead A bit of upsetting news... ((CHICAGO (AP) — Bernie Mac, the actor and comedian who teamed up in the casino heist caper "Ocean's Eleven" and gained a prestigious Peabody Award for his sitcom "The Bernie Mac Show," died Saturday at age 50. )) I remember watching him on Def Comedy Jam , where he really broke out. If you get a chance, check out some of his earlier work on that show. I think he was able to really shine in some of the roles he took in his movie career. He seemed to always play the creepy guy that wore bad clothes and talk in strange patterns. Friday : He was great in this limited role. He played Pastor Clever, the horny Pastor. Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood : He played the self-racist cop. What a great moment. Get on the Bus : Another good role, but limited. Ocean's Eleven : He had a few moments to shine in this role, plus third film too. Bad Santa : Very ...
