Do or die for Halo, not necessarily Xbox as a brand/service. That’ll be around forever.

If you work in IT then you know there are always two versions of things.

Not crusading against blind people, I’m crusading against you putting racial segregation and not being able to order a pizza online on the same level. They are not remotely the same and there is no argument you can provide to suggest otherwise.

And I’m sorry you don’t see how even comparing the two is idiotic and borderline offensive.

Yep, the systematic and forced segregation of an entire race and not being able to order a pizza online are totally the same thing.

True, I suppose I’m thinking of the scenario where something happens on my property and my cameras record it. I’m more inclined to provide footage for the police because I have a personal stake in it, especially if I report it. Like you said this is a big assumption on my part, but I make that assumption because why…

Then don’t hand over the video (certainly not mandatory), but good luck telling your wife why you didn’t hand over video of the crash. Now, if your neighbors caught it then not much you can do about that. Except be more discrete next time.

That has happened in my neighborhood a few times actually. Someone was breaking in cars and it was finally caught on a next door neighbors camera. In this scenario the neighbor provided the footage when requested (in fact they found it first), so I’m not sure why there is a need to “persuade” people to provide footage…

I’m guess I’m confused as to why this is necessary. If a crime is committed and you catch it on camera, you’re more than likely already going to provide the footage to police (assuming you reported the incident). So why the need to “persuade” people to provide that footage?

They can be somewhat useful. Basically you get rewards for simply paying your bill. After a few months you’ll get an“UP” reward, which can be cashed in for stuff. Since they expire so quickly, I usually just cash them in for gift cards (Amazon, iTunes, Starbucks, etc.)

What you’re saying is true, but the cynic in me says it will never happen because the same people making these laws want to get as much money as possible.

Breaking up monopolies is only a short term solution. Prime example is AT&T, who was forced to break up only to buy back the spin-off companies over time and is now a bigger “monopoly” than they were before.

Never gonna happen for various reasons, the main reason being the penalty payouts would be significantly less. You’re not going to get billions out of a company by going after the board and the C suite, and the whole point of a bill like this is to hit the company in the pocket as much as possible.

Epic’s exclusives put their games behind potential real money barriers.

And I’m sure somewhere in the world some may consider what’s happening in Louisiana “inconvenient” compared to their current situation. What’s your point? 

Look at it from a layperson’s perspective. You can open pretty much any other cap with a hot engine with little consequence: washer fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, oil fill cap, transmission fill plug, gas cap.

Why do you have to stay current? If you don’t have to have 4K and run all settings at max then graphics cards will easily last you the same length of time as a console generation. Most AAA games today run just fine on a 3 year old graphics card.

So, do you buy every new console refresh then? If not then what’s your point?

Most are small indie titles that can be finished in a few hours, which is all the time I have on average anyway. I still play longer games (like AC Odyssey for instance), it just takes me months to get through them. Indie titles at least give me the satisfaction of finishing a game.

I’ll give you Windows Phone, but the Surface Dial is a niche product that’s supported within it’s target industry (graphic design).
