So I guess that's a thing now.
Either way, someone's gonna fuck a dragon.

Guys I just thought of the most awesome thing ever. A floating nightclub and I don't mean one that feels like an illusion of floating. I mean a nightclub that is floating high in the sky. You pay about 5 bucks to catch a shuttle up to the club, go in and have a ball. There's a colorful dance floor, laser lights, bar, arcade, food. And the best part, there is a giant dome surrounding the club, you know to make sure that no one drunk stumbles off the edge. It would be pretty awesome don't you think?
Place your bets: How long before he apologizes?

I just applied to a job that I'm not remotely qualified for, but I want it anyway.
I get the impression that the Scorpio is the box to put out now so that it can ride the titles coming out for the rest of this gen, all the way past the beginning of next gen.
They want to stop getting killed right at the start of every new generation by the competition and 1st party offerings.
Having software continually coming in across the generation line might help to avoid that pesky drought they always fall into. Keeping development open for Windows by way of having those titles on their console at the same time should also help them cut through Steam being the go to place for gamers with the console option.
It looks like the plan is not to own the console space, but to take the unclaimed space of PC/console gamers. An interesting reveal for E3 to drastically aid all of this would be more titles (especially 1st party) available with cross plat multiplayer in their ecosystem under a new umbrella or title. But this time with conviction. The same way they tried to push Azure and cloud gaming as an actual "new" thing past none gaming applications.
They really are trying to get by on a few established 1st party titles with the usual 3rd party plan, and avoiding going head to head out of the starting blocks with Sony and their studios again. That middle man allure is strong for MS so they are going to push their own walled garden strong at E3 with the Scorpio. Basically the Xbone regular is pretty fucked regardless of what they say before Scorpio comes out.

Good afternoon BCT. I had to hit up the dentist this morning and push out a powerpoint deck before I got my haircut. Now I'm looking and feeling fresh. I have one more business call to join at 4 and then I'm headed to the gym for a late chest day.
This will be interesting since all the huge "personalities" go to the gym after work instead of in the morning.

....Why do you think people need VR people make do weird shit with models
So there's this place called tumblr...
you wrong and ill and wrong and ill.
those big floating rigid blimp hybrids are made for this in mind. If they catch on, you can expect this to be a reality around 2030.
edit: trump wants to know if you are a Bad enough Dude to be deported to Mexico.
We have Ninja's in the WhiteHouse and across the border?
What up, Shy.
Congrats Izuna?

I love the future so much. And that blimp looks so awesome.

Yo.
I am trying to help a brother step his game up.
It's pretty handy to be portable and not lose anything hardware-wise, but a console is only as good as its games

Nintendo hasn't heard of Chromecasting yet, they haven't made it to 2013
Pish MS will drop all support of that shit within a year of a wiff of Sony starting to put our their next console it would be Wii U levels after launch of support from them
They're in too deep to just leave. Maybe they're underestimating it a bit.
There is a good story behind MS, they were the shit just one generation ago. They came out of nowhere to sweep the leg from Sony.
MS literatlly has all the resources in the world but anything they put their weight behind seems to be cursed.

They're more out than in. The new CEO is not big on hardware and wants to push the OS and services more than anything else. There's also the focus on Azure. Couple that with the divisions inability to appeal to markets other than the US and Uk, and you have the situation we have now. The console market is going to have to change again soon to address the competition from other types of media.

there has to be a good media analog for MS
they were the kid who was a loser in school (Xbox)
then they got cool in college by being a burn-out (360 red ring), got their act together junior year (360 slim)
go the hook up in a corporate job but it was at Enron (xbone launch)
mash? mashed what?
after you win, he takes you out for KFC, and sticks you with the bill.
edit: even the caption reads like Trumps out of breath, stream of consciousness narration way of talking.

I don't Ello very often, but when I do there is usually something worth spending a little time with.
If this weeks problems on top of everything else isn't enough to hold you back then godspeed. Man the vessel, and get thee to the local Gamestop estate!

Does anyone really want them to succeed or lead the industry? They make some good games from time to time but they don't seem real interested in being on the industry. Always on was not needed. Glad they took a huge L. The online game has improved but i feel like that is less to do paying and more to do with not being able to take money and present a garbage product.
I would be happier with Sony at the lead.
Do it. What do you have to lose?

No but it is to everyone's advantage to have a competitive industry.
Zelda ain't gonna play itself
The problem is and I think that most would agree that they don't seem at all too interested in competing unless they're leading. As basic as that notion is, even then I don't see that as an actual goal for them. They've lead before but not in ways that couldn't be siphoned away by competition and interests outside of that one box. The advances that we credit them for weren't locked down in a manner that couldn't be replicated and dealt in more appealing ways. They want those dollars but they are less interested in gaming as a whole, as they are in expanding influence into living spaces and lifestyles. Ever since the 360 with the crazy paywalls they've been all but telling us out loud that they want to dominate the service distribution game.
Gonna cost the damn same in a couple weeks, anyway. Long as you won't go hungry by purchasing now, go for it.
