True. My original 360 (a Core bought in April 2006...and I was lucky to even find the Core) started having problems with RROD in 2008, and all it took was MS sending me a box and return label, then after sending mine in, they replaced it. No muss, no fuss.

But by the time the 2010s rolled around, the 360 was starting to lose its luster, and the widespread hardware failures known as the “Red Ring of Death” were turning a lot of consoles into overpriced paperweights.

Jost and Che are the best part about SNL and have been for the last few years

Exactly. I don’t care that how ubiquitous our internet connection is, the inability to play an offline game without the internet is unacceptable.

Agreed about that online check bullshit. I don’t buy stuff digitally because in the end it’s an expensive rental. But I had Xbox gift cards and Alan Wake 2 is annoyingly only available digitally. So I “bought” it. One night when I was playing the Comcast internet went out and I got a pop-up saying I can’t play without…

The half hearted and a touch terrified ‘Hi’ from Jost at the start ensured this was going to be a good one. Oh and watching Jost discover he has to try to fist bump - absolute torture.

Che lost for the first time.

And let’s not forget that the mandatory Kinect, coupled with a mandatory always-on internet, was a major privacy issue.

JFC, well here I am on a Monday morning feeling dumb AF.

The person playing Ms. Davis was an actress and was committing to the bit.

They had a hell of a run.

I can only imagine the room you’re sitting in as you type this. I can imagine the smell, considering my family had several nasty hoarders. You know you can do better, but you refuse to. You think it’s good enough, and that you’re focusing on the more important stuff, like DC-area pizza basements.

Probably the best bits SNL does these days. 

“It combined a console, streaming device, and Blu-Ray player into the original all-in-one media player. But like Marty McFly rocking out to “Johnny B Goode” in Back to the Future, people weren’t quite ready for that. Yet.”

Maybe they’re friends in REAL LIFE.

You see, there’s this thing called “humor” where we don’t automatically assume that the person saying offensive things actually means them.  The Holiday Joke Swap has this premise built-in, because Colin and Che are writing jokes that are intended to sound offensive by their presenter.

Don’t take the idiots out of the greys. 

It’s good to hear that, if you were in charge, Michael Che would have been protected from . . . a joke he wrote.  I agree with you that there’s just too much humor in this world, and we should instead make sure to determine (with percentages, no less) whether jokes have “bigoted intent” before we laugh at them.

Make MSG great again 

Everytime they make something “healthier” by cutting salt, sugar, and fats, it ends up tasting worse. Why is everything bad for us so tasty?
