Good to know that people can cheat very, very quickly.

Truth be told, I've never really been all that hyped about the GTA series. To date, I've not touched them. Probably a personal flaw, I know :P

I lol'ed.

Dat chin cleft.

Because FFVII was totally the BEST. GAME. EVURRRR. Amirite?

In other words: Desk Rage = First World Problems

So Microsoft is willing to listen to criticism? Fine. That's dandy. What gets me is why they even geared to launch the issues they had to begin with. Did they listen to their customers before doing so? If so, how large a group was it? From what I'm seeing from the amazingly large number of detractors their…

Are you forgetting the 3+ hours they had talking about the console and its features? The hit on MS was a 5 second, 10 word blurb. I hardly think it fair to call it their main 'selling point'

But how is it novelty? The PS4 is comparably more powerful. The side-by-side under the hood specs show as much. After reviewing the menu displays, it looks very seamless and streamlined. It offers more or less what everyone was expecting and hoping for. What is it that the XBox carries that is making it such an…

I wasn't referring to my own opinions on the threats, but rather the seeming reaction of the common folk in general. As I said myself, I abhor both types of threats.

Color me cynical, but I think it's beyond a mere gamer problem and more like a problem of the human condition. Insults and harassment have been around since the moment we understood we could hurt others with our words.

I was more referring to the general reaction to his statements rather than my own. Actual rapists on the other hand...

Yeah. I can admit it's frustrating, especially if you perform further follow up. Don't mistake my "it is what it is" with callousness; I've had my share of fuss with the system. Would it be nice to hear something back? Sure, it would. However, I can only think that if they were to respond to each ticket report of…

We're all making some pretty hard assumptions here. First assumption: XBox did nothing. Second assumption: The reporter of the harassment has the right to receive follow up from said report.

And this is why I don't play online gaming with either PSN or XBox Live. The level of anger and troll talk over playing GAMES is staggering. Some people take it way too seriously and way too personally, as if you, specifically, just ruined their whole day.

Apparently there's an assumed level of sincerity between murder threats and rape threats. One should be chalked up to 'trash-talk' and the other should be strung up and immediately castrated. I'll leave it to you to determine which is which.

News also broke yesterday on MMO-Champion that Blizzard trademarked the phrase "The Dark Below"

Nevermind. As thebullfrog's comment suggested, it was because I was in the Beta for the new Google Maps. I had to sign out and clear my cookies (or, as he also suggests, simply use a browser where you don't sign into Google). Worked fine after that.

That would explain it. I'm part of the Beta program. I'll try that now... thanks!

I must be failing pretty hard... I'm clicking all around the booth and it just moves me past it. Not seeing any double white arrow? Unless you mean the white lines on the road, which I tried. :(
