They disabled it probably because of how hammered the board was getting.

Did you read the new thread? I would take the word of the company VP over a twitter guy.
And yes, that's gone for me. Ahaha, I barely check User CP to begin with. I just go right to my subscriptions first.
I like sunshine a lot more! Whenever it rains, I generally have a less-than-stellar day.qq more said:

This board is going to crash and burn during E3.
If I'm on vacation then...I may just go out and enjoy the fine Colorado weather and come back in the evening and read the aftermath.

I can't stand the rain. Rainy days almost always lead to shitty days for me.

In my mind i'd given MS the benefit of the doubt, oh it can't end up being as bad as all the rumours say, surely not, that would be plain silly!
How quickly I forget how silly this industry of ours can be, well I don't want to entirely write them off quite yet, at least until they actually show games but...well yeah, that was a snoozefest of an event, I spent most of it looking up the differences between Doki Doki Panic and SMB2.
Anyway i've yet to actually see gaming sides reaction to this event , off I go to high drama no doubt.
I've been holding this viewpoint for some time myself, of course i'd love to be wrong but lets just say I know my fair share of people shackled to that combo and I can't imagine them giving much of a damn about anything else that isn't advertised to hell and back again.
So anyway, I got beaten by Wart in SMB2 like 10 times earlier today, it was crushingly humiliating until I finally remembered how to approach that Froggy Fuck effectively, you know those situations where all you need is a 5 minute break and you come back and dismantle a problem with ease, ah sweet satisfaction to replace the growing frustration. The NES version just doesn't feel right to me anymore, I need SMA Toad's squeal of a voice.

How does this keep getting worse?
Man, I don't know if I can not play the NES version of that game. I just prefer it. SNES version is alright, but overall, I prefer the non-All-Stars versions of those games.
Wart is allergic to vegetables and he should never eat them unless you want to get out of Dream Land, and he has a sick boss theme.Nocturnowl said:

Well, I'm not buying it (Xbox One) based on the information released today. Primarily because of the no used used games thing, which is a big nono for me. Reauth every day is also super not cool, even though I have internet.
Also, I like rain, except when I'm outside in it

-consuming any non-PepsiCo product in front of the Kinect makes your hard drive auto-wipe
-microphone glitch causes livestreams to be activated silently by basic respiratory noises

I've always been the other way round myself, I played both the NES versions and All Star versions around the same time, so I ended up leaning towards the spiffier visuals and updated music, though in most of these cases what you play first just always feels right.
Your first point begs the question, why the hell does he keep a vegetable spewing machine in his throne room?! ah videogames, you don't have to make sense.
Hold the phone, the empty husk of modern Rare reviving one of their series? I should not get even slightly hyped for this for many many reasons but I can't help myself.

Oh yeah, Kinect's always going to be listening to you, right? So you can't disable voice commands?
Did I hear that right?
I played the NES version first, so I guess that's why I prefer it. But I don't mind playing the All-Stars version either. The Advance versions, though... no thanks. He probably keeps the veggie machine in there to remind him of his hate for all things leafy and green! He just bashes 'em around.

It's more than likely Killer Instinct.

Between the dog pictures and the Xbox One situation getting weirder and weirder, I've been laughing a lot in the past hour.
Though it might also be the heat making me insane or something.

I think it was like, once he got the Xbox's attention by saying "Xbox, blah", he didn't have to repeat the initial "Xbox" to use another command because it came right after the first - I think there's some sort of icon or something indicating when the console's listening to you.

I don't like looking at it very much, but my Facebook feed seems mixed.
I'll say this as a linguist: I was always intrigued by the voice recognition software in Kinect. How it would pick apart different accents, different languages, different dialects of those languages, etc. I would imagine that Kinect would pick up what I say to it, but if someone like my mom talked to it, it wouldn't be able to pick it up at all despite her speaking English (but she speaks a completely different dialect of English that's hard for people to decipher). I have to wonder how further along they are with that tech.
Heh.
Ah, I see. Thank you.ColtraineGF said:

Please tell me you told that guy what's what.
But then it's gotta be listening while the system is off so it can hear the "Xbox, On" command, right?

Eh, she wasn't worth it, anyhow. Doesn't really listen to me much.

Actually (going more off topic), I wonder what the whole no-used-games thing will do for the console's chances in Japan, low as they probably were already? Seeing as how the used games market is very important there and all, might just be another reason to ignore it completely.
Or maybe MS doesn't really care about how it does over there in that aspect, so they just said "whatever" and did it anyway. Either way I hope they take another look at that policy before launch.

Hmm, well it's already been said to be able to operate at different power levels, so I imagine it just listens for that command when the unit is on standby. I guess you could always plug Kinect out when you turn it "off"...

MS doesn't give a shit about Japan anyways, so they likely didn't even think about the ramifications.

Didn't Microsoft moneyhat Case Zero for 360? I'd be willing to bet Microsoft probably snatched up exclusivity for DR3, too.

I really wonder what MS is going to do about Japan and other parts of Asia. I wonder if they care, really.
Lots of people like Dance Central, though. Though to be fair, a lot of people I know go the Just Dance route.
I remember playing Brain Age all those years ago and having to pronounce Blue and Brown awkwardly to actually get Brain Age to register them. Haha. I see that it has place in games, but I don't think people would actively want to use voice commands all the time in gameplay.
