"if anything I struggle to name a single goddamn device I own which requires the internet to function."

Well, here are the usage examples he gave me, and I swear he's not an MS employee.

Do you really think it'll be a success, without strong gamer-based sales? Honest question. I just don't see the numbers working out. If someone doesn't really care about games, and just wants a streaming box, there are so many low-cost, extremely-tiny, power-light choices. Plus, its promising to do what a lot of…

The bullet-points are giving me PowerPoint flashbacks. Or wait, was this all a dream? Have I been in the same conference room, in the same endless meeting, for the past 1o years?!?!

Well now, aren't you testy? Apparently being critical of a concept that MS isn't the first or only to propose is SPEWING MS HATE!!!!

Fantastic, super-useful piece. The scene was well set and enlightening. The deep dive into the back-and-forthing and timing issues was instructive. Nothing to add, really, I'm just crazy impressed.

"But tech geeks and people who like device integration at home who don't really play games (they exist) probably like this thing. "

Fair enough, and thanks. Now I feel like a bit of a turd, for talking about your non-sequitors and stuff, since English isn't your first language, but you're a millions times more articulate with it than I would be in your native tongue (unless you happen to speak Latin, in which case, I could talk your ear off about…

I guess I've pulled the trigger on a comment too quickly, though it's hard not to lump you in with the gobsmacking amount of people who do it, on the regular. I should lay off, though, since you didn't attack the writer of this post, you just made a boo-boo.

Fine, they're not so hot on the shooting range, but they're aces at parachuting out of any aircraft, from any height. Drop of a hat, too. Dudes will blow the canopy if they feel so much as a bump of turbulence.

Amazing! Yes! That's the only way to make sense of it. Every fight is basically a giant monster truck/tractor pull, with turrets that fire laser shows, synced to AC/DC tracks cranked to 11. Thousand.

Simmer down, buddy. I was asking a question. They said exclusive content, you're saying skins, but also mentioning some sort of interview. I just wanted to know if you had specific info, since I'm interested.

Awesome! None of those sentences have anything to do with each other, or serve as even a passive defense for not being able to read even a single sentence of a story before posting a response, or for randomly ragging on someone's appearance, because, you know, bros.

I always loved how GI Joe's and Cobra's "tanks" were just sniper bait. I think they live in an alternate universe, where everyone's a terrible shot (which would explain the general lack of casualties, I guess).

Hmm...you asked for sources, but didn't provide your own? Curious.

Soundstage air-conditioning, obviously.

That'd be great. I wouldn't even mind health-regen as much if it was explained away as something else (at least in non-competitive multiplayer), like that you're getting rattled by shots coming in too close, until your luck finally runs out and you're tagged for real.

So busting on her appearance, talking about her not looking like a "her," isn't sexist? Maybe not. It's either that, or just straight-up awful. Either way, nice work. Glad to have such thoughtful commenters around here.

We should start a club! It'll be called The Grim and the Humorless, and it'll swell, although it'll also fail to get off the ground because I don't have a PC, which is the only platform on which anyone would bother to make the kinds of games we (the club) actually really want to play.

Not sure what I was expecting as a response, but it wasn't that non-sequitor. Good luck with your reading comprehension and not-funny-or-interesting sexism!
