It was just the beginning. But (indirectly) calling several GAF members pirates is never a good way to open up a discussion.
Inferring one is a pedophile is like inferring a United fan actually knows anything about football. It's all in good fun, we all know its not true.

This must be true considering a United fan made the thread title.
I ain't even mad bro
It's not a deal breaker for me personally but many of my friends have pitiful internet connections. I can't see them buying it.
Wonder what the reason for Always Online is. Piracy? 2nd hand games?

I'm against it because it accrues me zero benefits. I cannot name one.
Halo turning to absolute shit is more of a deal breaker than always on DRM, or Microsoft acting like cunts.
I actually laugh at the outrage over in gaming side. These are the people that worship Steam. I also think that for foresight the benefits over the next five to eight years could be worth it.
But the chances of me buying the next Xbox are slimmer than Mischa Barton.

I'm shocked
What you trying to say? <.<
Yeah it doesn't bring much to the end user. Publishers might be more favourable to the platform if it's going to be much harder to pirate on it, they're probably the ones pushing for it.
Imagine if it led to the next FIFA and Call of Duty being proper timed exclusives for the next Xbox.

Except I can play games offline on Steam.

Except with the second hand market abolished, they'll be charging however much more for that timed exclusive for their games because fuck you they can. Also timed exclusives on those particular franchises is highly unlikely. Not to mention that if the next Xbox sells poorly because of these decisions, they'll not get preference, they'll want to please whichever console base is largest.
Ditto.
Only thing that could get me hyped for Halo 5 (and thus, the next Xbox) would be if 343 came out and directly said "Okay guys, we fucked up. It was our first attempt and we need to dial things back a bit. Also ranks."
And since that's never going to happen... Looking like PS4 for me.
I'm saying you're a massive Microsoft fanboy so it doesn't surprise me that you have no problems with Always Online DRM.
Not saying there's anything wrong with it, just that I'm not shocked by your stance

They would lose so much more money from not bringing those games out on the playstation than what they would lose from piracy

Blackpool winger Thomas Ince could be worth as much as £25m in the current market, according to his father Paul.
lol, no.
lol, no.
Holy shit, saw the skeleton photo the other day and just assumed.
Never going to happen, 343 will never make a good Halo game, they've got the wrong attitude, design ideas, and philosophy. They don't know what Halo is, and they don't really care.
Looking like PS4 for me, too.

But I don't even own an Xbox D:
Depends on the install base size. If it was when both consoles launch it could well swing a lot of sales the Xbox's way.
I know.

The Nexus is a great phone, I currently have the N4.My next phone will probably be whatever the next Nexus is though
For the price (even with Google's laughable £10 shipping charge) they're an extremely good proposition. It'll be between that and the next flagship Nokia Lumia come November for me.
o dear lord
Here is a nice article about Thomas Müller

I don't mind always online, the threshold needs to be longer than 3 minutes though.
I've only liked 2 games on them and one of them is a remake, 3D Land and OoT. I'll pick up Luigi but what else is there to get?

To be honest, I feel no need or desire to change phones for a while. My S3 does everything I need it to right now. My next phone will have to be something special for me to upgrade.
I know what you mean, I just get that upgrade itch every 6 months or so.

To be fair, when I was sitting in K stand (Opposite Streford End) you couldn't hear Stretford end singing at all even though they were.
The acoustics in Old Trafford are quite poor to be honest. The atmosphere is usually Okay, rarely amazing. But our away fans make up for that at away matches.

I've been having this issue for a while too, trying to settle with my current phone now. Hopefully it will do me good for a year or two at least.
Probably our worst game of the entire season. Playing with 2 players from the B team, one who hasn't played in 2 months, wasn't a smart idea. If we play with all starters in St. James' Park, I like our chances, if not, we may not go through.

Oh god they're writing songs and poems about Bayern's players now after that game.
NONE OF OUR PLAYERS TURNED UP FOR THE LOVE OF DEL PIERO
Thomas is a brilliant, brilliant player.

It's not really the acoustics though. The big games tend to have good atmospheres. The crowd is just too diverse.
A singing section would be quite good, the current away section has some of the best seats in the ground - no idea why they give it to the away fans.
Yeah, they were thinking of moving the away section to somewhere else. But they didn't go along with it.
I thought that plan was still in motion? I remember talking to one of the blokes who does things like tours/odd-jobs around the stadium about it a month or two ago and he was saying how they were still planning on moving the away fans up a tier, but with special positioning for City and Pool fans to avoid any shit/coin/whatever flinging.

Are you new here Kikarian? I keep a diary of United GAF supporters so I know who not to troll and you're not currently on it.

That's my understanding too.
I think it's still on the cards but the plans need to be adjusted a bit.
