There are dudes hot about it. They thought MS was going to allow you to give out 9 copies of a game for nothing.

I saw on the news today a 19 year old mother of 4.
please tell me they are 2 sets of twins?
You can marry as young as 13 in New Hampshire. (my reaction to that is: WAT)
But still.. goddamn

It was a story about how her 5 month old baby died somehow after she had it in the bed.
The other kids are 4,2 ,1.

Da fuq? Wow!
In South Carolina you could get married at 12 with parents permission. They changed it because Irish Travelers was doing that shit.

yeah, which means you can't play a virgin system.
probably gonna require you to sign up for XBL Silver and make you agree to the arbitration and no class action clauses.

This reminds me of this girl at my job last year, 20-21 mother of 3. I mean in hindsight one would assume you got it done early in the game.
Okay is this shit on the same level as Walking Dead?
I don't know why I like these so much https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=537792729620781&set=vb.471293809616508&type=2&theater
The game is on it's own level really.
The ending I mean.
See man I just don't even bother in these situations.
...and is it messed up that I've never encountered any of those situations either? At least not encountered those situations and realized it.

I thought it was more impactful since you had more control over Joel than Lee.

Well I would assume I'm midway through the game. And I can see the Joel/Lee comparisons.

Even though I wasn't going to get an Xbone any time soon that sharing shit sounded pretty cool to me. Ideally they should have relaxed the 24 hour check to like a month or whatever it is for Steam. It's not like you can trade games after you registered them anyway. Would have been the dawn of a new day not having to actually lend ninjas my discs. I got discs from 10+ years ago looking all pristine still and everytime I lent something always ended up with me plotting to get them back on some espionage shit.

I'm late but this and amazon is what did it.
I have developed the terrible habit of sleeping all day and staying up all night, so I missed the fun. Good shit to Microsoft for wising up and cutting all that bullshit out. I still don't see myself getting one though; most of my friends play on PS3, and just like I couldn't justify owning both a PS3 and a 360, I don't see the PS4 and Xbone being different enough that I need both.

I don't think anyone in their right mind is gonna be simping back to MS. But then again the Gizmodo article thread is filled with a disturbing amount of people who agree with the moron who wrote it and/or are blaming consumers for "stalling the future."
Which is exactly why Microsoft spite-removed some of the features, to paint some stuff as "well, we could have done -awesomething- but we can't do it now because of what you did" even though they still can.
yeah microsoft still doesn't fucking get it. at all.

They could do all the family sharing stuff they were talking about with digital download games if they were that intent. I don't see how you trust a company who tried to pull what they pulled with a straight face. They can change the ToS whenever they want to so expect it to not be as clear cut as it sounds right now. All those cloud single player games are probably gonna require a permanent internet connection too.

I can't stand these corporate shills
Yep. Seems like a silly requirement to me when they are backpedaling as much as they are.
I'm loving the use of the "term" simp when referring to video games.

Console simping will be a thing

It already is. Just look at how many people wanted MS to fuck them in the ass.

I hope no one does. Man microsoft are probably just going to slow roll all those bad DRM features onto consumers over the life cycle of the X box one, once they've sold enough units. I don't trust them and I hope nobody in their right mind does either. They had no problem a few weeks ago fucking over their consumers and that was before they got a single customer to invest money into their system and games.

I'm with you on this bro. Who's to say they don't add this stuff at a later date. The same way Sony pulled out the ps3's Linux capability, MSFT could easily add their DRM stuff at a later date. This stuff has already been built, it's already been mapped out. All they are doing is delaying the inevitable in my opinion.
The industry will be there sooner than many on this board will hope. Sony has similar plans.

This.

This is such a stupid position though. Sony admitted that they were considering the very same policies, they just handled it better by backtracking behind the scenes. People who act like Sony have more morals than Microsoft, and that they're pro consumer and for gamers, are completely misguided. Sony is a multi billion dollar corporation just like Microsoft, and like all multi billion dollar corporations, all decisions they make are with the intention of self preservation and increasing future profits. If a multi billion dollar corporation radiates qualities that are seemingly pro consumer and pro gaming, it's because they've deemed those qualities necessary to increasing their bottom line. That's why we see corporations shift from being virtuous and pro consumer, to morally repugnant assholes without a car in the world towards the industry, and vice versa depending on their success within their respective fields.
We're not that far removed from a time where Microsoft was seen as "for gamers," and Sony was seen as conceited, complacent and full of themselves. If a company thinks they can get away with something without any blow back, they're going to do it 100% of the time. Case in point, Sony charging for PSN this generation.

Couple things....
Why the hell and am I up at 0600 at work.
I watched Ladykillers and showed my girl the movie in for the first time. She loved it.
And Patrice O'neal is too damn funny. Im going through his appearances on O&A on youtube.

Cause child soldiers are better with the cloud.
They really should have said "every single Xbox One game will have dedicated servers powered by Microsoft, standard". People would have fucking loved it
but nope, had to use the cloud pr bullshit. Hardly anyone knows the above fact. And that's all on them. Because that's really what it is, every game has the ability to spin up dedis in Azure. Which to be honest, is a really cool thing.

the cloud talk really messed them up. Most people think of icloud, or google drive when you talk cloud. They could have done a much better job of conveying that xbone message to the general pub.

understatement of the year. they've been "considering" it since before the PS3 launch.

The difference between MS DRM backtracking and Sony DRM rumors is the difference between your significant other thinking about cheating and ultimately not following through and them bringing someone home while you're in bed.
