Really? Were they against the idea as a moral objection, or just didn't want to spend the money? I had a friend whose parents once refused to let him hang out with me because I let him borrow my Counting Crows CD. >_>

Yeah. I'm always a bit frightened and impressed by those types of shows/episodes. I really enjoy collecting, but I don't want to wake up one day, buried under material objects while my ex-wife and her new husband pull the kids away from my lifeless body :P

Haha. That's quite the eloquent recount. I'm not all that fond of fermented foods, but they're not at the bottom of my list, either. I generally just prefer food that's easily consumable. Somethings are great (like chicken wings), but take far too much effort and make too much mess. I'd prefer to just eat and be done.

Ah, gotcha.

Yeah, I don't really get why they keep attempting to fragment the market to avoid technological limitations. I know they need to fund the incremental advances, but a lot of it comes across as simply marketing-forced and lacking in consideration to what users really need or want.

You mean this?

If you mean being affected by the idea that nothing conforms to your specific vision of a "positive message" then I relate to being under that. Otherwise—just keep imposing your values on everyone else, because that's certainly just as acceptable. Hopefully in your non-hypocritical life without 99% of available porn,…

Improved GameDVR video quality through compression algorithm improvements.

Kinect voice and motion improvements will continue to be fine-tuned for quality and reliability of Xbox One commands. For example, we've updated some of the gesture functionality to reduce false positives on non-hand objects triggering gesture commands.

This was made apparent to me a few years ago, when, after returning home to the US from Japan (I had been living there for a time), I synced my Xbox Live account to my home console and noticed that all of my content licenses had disappeared (I think around 800 at the time). I've still managed to collect more, but have…

Well, this is what happens when nearly an entire market collectively allows for its rights to be taken away under the guise of progress, and not only actively accepts it, but works to defend it as well. We support crappy businesses that make socially irresponsible decisions by continuously giving them our money, and…

If by "transformational" you mean one where roughly 50% of the market had not even the ability to use the device at its most basic, then "yeah, sure."

"We need to tell people to grow the hell up and stop doing this"

Febreeze? Seriously? The stupidity in this video is palpable. Not only can fires from some phone batteries not be extinguishable by normal means, but the fumes are absolutely not safe to breathe. Here's what a Lithium-polymer battery fire often looks like:

Watch your tongue, boy. Slighting the world of Fables is high treason, and punishable by death.

Pfft. As if I'd want a Resogun screenshot with so many lost humans in it. >_>

Gimme a week after release, and I will hold each of those books, as I do in every other ES game in which they are possible to hold.

I really wish I'd see more figures with this kind of effort and detail for the comic/animated versions of the characters. I really have no interest in an action figure based off of an actor.

You're saying SLI Titans aren't high-end?
Your scale may need re-balanced.

A "few" games on PS4. If by "few" you mean all but a few, to this point.

That's a pretty dickish assumption to make. Obviously people are posting when their connections are up. That doesn't mean that they're up 24/7, or that the necessary throughput for posting text is in any way comparable to the requirements of offsite processing. The vast majority of people in my city do not have the…
