With iPads and TVs, I can handle a few days at the folks' place without my Xbox. They can't even work a Roku. They're not gonna have an Xbox hooked up. Still seems like some niche, edge-case stuff. MS realized it was in no way worth the blowback.

Lending discs is a major pain though. PS guys made it look super easy in the funny video, but in reality, I ain't no librarian! I don't want to have to keep track of who I lent what game too. I don't want to have to beg for it back when I want to play it again. I don't want to worry about scratched discs or accidental…

Interesting. You could've set up some kind of game buying club that chips in 1/10th of the cost of a new game and then passes it around. That'd been neat.

What was this family plan, exactly? Why were you so psyched?

HA HA HA. I fucking knew it. That's great. Everyone should applaud and be nice to them. Changing policies this publicly should be encouraged and converts should be embraced. Grudges are not helpful. We always wish they'd listen to us, so we should reward them when the do.

I'm confused, it keeps playing after you quit? Like Animal Crossing or Farmville?

Does anybody here actually own a Wii U? What do you think of it? Is it your primary gamebox? Do you plan on getting another next gen console? I feel like most of the commentary I read about WiiU is from people who don't own one.

Look, I get that the PS4 is more attractive than the Xbox 360 at the moment, but shaming Microsoft for not "supporting the troops" is going way too far. People complain that Anita Sarkeesian is saying that game developers are sexist rape apologists and then they go and imply that Microsoft is unpatriotic because of…

Yeah, I bet that's what it is. Nobody ever told him about backups. Good tip! Thanks for the helpful suggestion.

Dickheads make great art. Our nation was founded by dickheads. Dickheads make great games. People who hate dickheads make boring comments on Kotaku.

Yeah! I too prefer my games to be developed by humble, polite people. Less personality. More bland neutrality and corporate approved public relations!

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Call me when you trust context to convey tone and don't rely on caps-lock.

What's a duck press?

What's it like saying the exact same thing as every other PC owner in every console-related thread on Kotaku ever? Did Roget's Thesaurus ever come out for PC? Does being a Walking Cliche mean you have to get special shoes or something?

That's what 'rape culture' is. When rape-language becomes so pervasive that it turns into background noise and you don't even notice it even though it's everywhere.

Can I just take a quick poll out of curiosity?

You can play PS2 games for super cheap now! There are plenty of consoles that don't have any DRM and don't require online connections and don't mind rental games. Use those instead. Catch up on the Dreamcast catalog. Skies of Arcadia was dope. Can you get that on Gamefly these days? Or speaking of pirates, why don't…

You've been fucking over publishers and game developers and giving all your money to a middleman rental outfit who doesn't even make games. Turn-about is fair play. I think I will forget about people like you, if you don't mind.

Why has nobody ported Desktop Tower Defense to the iPad?
