I see where you're going with that, but she was still an AI. She drove the entire narrative of the original Halo trilogy, much like Ghost is expected to do in Destiny. Where Cortana shows a range of emotion, Ghost is just...flat. It sounds like Dinklage was reading a children's book that he found particularly boring.

One word: Cortana.

This is why I've always loved Bungie, and also why I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on this issue. They know that we know that they know, ya know?

Hahaha it's all downhill post-college. It's like your career knows you want to play video games, but it goes all Syrio Forel. What do we say to video games? Not today.

Great idea, glad it works for you. I have time to play about 3-5 games a year, so the list would be pretty underwhelming. This year, I'm only playing Destiny, Evolve, Alien Isolation, Halo 2(!!!) and a smattering of Hearthstone (because it's quick and fun). It's a sad life I live, I know.

Thanks for reminding me that I still need to see this.

Well I mean, they don't actually recognize revenue in the accounting sense until they sell the game, so that's a half baked excuse at best. I pre-order every game I'm going to play - there's only a handful that I have time for each year, and I'd forget otherwise.

Mostly so I don't forget about it. Pre-order bonuses have never done it for me.

Yeah, this just got a pre-order outta me. Sounds so different from anything else out there, and I dig it.

No sales tax for the win.

Best Archer? Olly? Was his mom the Queen of his village? MY HEAD JUST PULLED AN OBERYN.

The competition between the two is great - it ensures we get the best available product at the end of the day. That being said, I fucking hate my Xbox One. So much regret.

Played in a golf tournament up in MA today. It was a blind scramble and my teammates weren't very good, so I've been drunk since 2p. Just playing Hearthstone now, trying to blow through the Arena with the derpiest Warlock deck ever. 5-1 so far.

My favorite part of that episode wasn't even on TV. Credits are rolling, and I get a text from my mom. It read: 'See what happens when you get cocky?!'

I laughed way too hard at that. Well played.

Totally agree with just about everything you said. I've owned Microsoft consoles exclusively since the original Xbox was first released. I went with the Launch Xbox One and the damn thing just sits there. I watch TV through it and use it for Netflix and like the voice commands well enough when they work (took some…

Well, duh. I don't know many people who ever seriously wanted a Kinect for gaming (actually, I don't know any) and I've never heard of anyone who expected the motion controls to work 100% of the time. If your standard for success was 100% functionality and integration into every AAA title, then my god, the Kinect was…

Well, if you can integrate universal voice commands to work seamlessly for all of my apps for $2, you should probably hire a patent lawyer and go make some dough.

I paid $500 for an Xbox One with a fancy-ass voice controlled camera that can hear all the wonderful things I say about 'Murica in my living room (wink wink, NSA).

Xbox, order me a $10 microphone and hook it up to my TV so that I can sell my Kinect to some poor sap on Ebay!
