Some things do, like my own private Ark! I have a seat open if the price is right. :D

You also might want to rehost that image bud. Being a JR member you might get hammered for that.

It will be no earlier than Fall 2013. I've been saying that for a long time, but it's pretty obvious when all the Xbox suits have been talking about a 10 year plan, Natal the mid-life booster, ect, ect. So that means at least 2015 on support and 2 years at best before that for a new release. MS is in no hurry to release new hardware anytime soon. 2 years out no way.

I REALLY don't see why people keep thinking these motion controls are "life boosters." If anything they are just a tool to reach out to more casual gamers/larger gamer base.

"No earlier than 2013" is a pretty safe bet since nothing has been mentioned and even if they announce it at E3 2011 it will still be at least a year off.

10 year life cycle was the PS3 thing I thought, you sure you aren't inserting MS into that one?
Natal being a mid-life booster is assuming it actually sells well. I'll be curious to see how well it's received, but its definitely not looking like something that is aiming at the current owners but instead to create an additional market.

No I'm not. Must of missed E3 last year as that is exactly what MS told the world;

"We firmly believe that the Xbox 360 has a life cycle through 2015 (ten years after the launch)," Kim told Venture Beat.

Will Natal be a mid-life booster who knows, but with a launch of slim, Natal, and rebranding yea they are treating as such. Whether or not it does have any effect who knows, but they will ride this out to at least 2013. They firmly believe it is at it's midpoint and unless it just falls off a cliff they have a huge base to work with until that point.

Considering doing a live chat room for HaloGAF during the Microsoft conference/E3 or whatever. Found a nice chat client, no sign ups, nothing complicated like irc or anything like that. Would there be any interest for it come next week?

Isn't that pretty much what we do here?

I'm not downing on you or dashing your initiative what so ever, but that may be more work than you need to put in.

That said, I imagine you are anticipating service being down more than up around here. :lol

Only if someone copy and pastes the chat log for the rest of us who can't join the chat session. :D

I'll be down for that if I can be on the computer at the time of Microsoft's E3 press conference.

Of course you have to have a chat room. It's HaloGAF tradition. And I can actually join using my iPhone.

Here's a wee test here. Tell me if there's any issues so I can iron them out for next week. Could someone check if it's iPhone friendly?

It's not meant to replace GAF, we've had chats before but there's always a hassle and I know some folks are IRC phobic. Like I said, simple, no set up or sign up.

And transcripts will be recorded for blackma... posting here later. :D

Is there a way to filter out the riff raff? Lots of lurkers will be flooding in. Also, I had to register for your site to access it. Sneaky, sneaky.

Registration? No, that's suppose to be disabled. You can choose a fresk nickname and just login as a guest. Well, should be. :lol

Yeah, there's tools to control the masses.

Doesn't seem to be working well for me. I get a compressed screen and can't see anyone chatting. It's probably my settings though.

Didn't Halo Wars come out around then? Wouldn't know because I didn't buy that piece of shit.

That's a shame because it's a pretty decent console RTS and I would love to see a Halo Wars 2.

To Tashi: can you please stream the GTTV episode airing tonight?

Unless theres something that comes up unexpectedly, I'd be glad to. What time does it air on the Beast Coast?

Also dani if you cant get that chat up and running you can use my jtv channel as a back up.

It'll be on late. Like 12:35am. I wish it was on at a more reasonable time like 9pm that way I could watch it and then go out for the evening.

Having some cock tattoo conversations with a fake Dani and a fake Gui on the FUD chat, it seems to be working well. We can use that one.

There's no reason why we shouldn't. And if we weren't, I'm sure Brian would have mentioned something by now. Urk has posted for a while so maybe he's busy working on it? I can only hope he is.

Nothing major, if we were getting something new the powers that be would be pounding the war drum by now. I know there is a Killzone 3 thing.
