I think your idea is great. The "I borrowed a physical game disk from someone who's on my friends list" concept should allow you able to play the game without having to pay the fee, and Microsoft should try to implement something like that.

Considering that his naming it was a reference to Jif peanut butter in the first place, pronouncing it with a soft G was completely intentional.

Yeah, that makes sense, because the P in JPEG stands for Photographic, so it's pronounced "JayFegg."

So they're calling it the One. The machine's pretty massive. Half-way through this new generation they'll probably release a smaller version. Meaning they'll be giving the people the option to get a small One, or a big One. Or maybe they'll call them the Fat One and the Slim One. If this "bone" moniker catches on then…

It's BooTAY! BOOTAY!

So if I sell my used game online, can I also sell back the physical disc, effectively selling the game twice?

Yeah, I get that. "All-in-one", "the one thing you'll need", etc.

Are you able to cite a source for the 360 naming convention? It sounds completely plausible, so I'm just curious if there's proof it all came from one firm or if it's speculation. It wouldn't surprise me if it did come from one firm, but it also wouldn't surprise me if others just thought it was a cool idea and…

Ludwig, from my original post:

So what do they call the Xbox after this one?

Cloudkitt:
It's not so much a question of a "cheesy" name, but a name that isn't confusing. They couldn't think of a name that isn't either.

Is there a GOOD reason to call it Xbox One? Like, when they were coming up with the pros and cons for what the name should be, what were the pros for calling it "One" that outweighed the cons?

I like the grain the flat colors have. Like textured paper, or gouache paint.

The lighting of the atmosphere does seem to have some sort of cycle to it. Not a day/night cycle, but I noticed sometimes it's just a bit brighter and easier to see and other times not.

Here's a point-and-click adventure game where you play as a zombie, made by some guy: Nearly Departed

The designer of this game, Matt Kempke, previously made What Makes You Tick and it's sequel A Stitch in Time. You can play the first one online here, and a demo of the second game here. I confess, it's a plug, since I did a few of the digital background paintings in the second game.

It just means "respond, please". Meaning, whoever is doing the inviting wants to know if you're coming or not. For many events, even public ones free or not, your response is required so they can put your name on a list to let you in. Basically, if an event has a maximum capacity they want to know how many people are…

The problem with that Wiki definition is that that excerpt describes many other types of games as well. If acting out a character in a fictional narrative was all it took to classify a game as an RPG, then countless games that fall into other categories could be called RPGs.
