I just don't get these celebrity parties sponsored by corporations. What, is this supposed to make me want Microsoft products because a celeb got a free party and was paid to use some of the products?

@Sean Netzel: Craigslist is your friend.

This was painful. I saw that there was a second update, installed it, and then had to crawl through screens teaching me how to use something I was already familiar with.

@mind in rewind: I agree, the white is really harsh. Everything looks nice and clean, but making it a little dimmer would have been nice. Or, better yet, providing the option for this color scheme or a black variant. I find myself missing the light on dark.

@xIvSlowDeath420: My Old Spice Laser Parrots theme wasn't killed by the update. I'm happy enough to tolerate the ads being in my face again.

At least now I know why all of my promo / award items are little more than a "!"... Oh well, just pixels. So long as my game DLC isn't impacted (and I can't think why it would be), I don't mind being in the beta.

@Koztah: There would certainly be some sort of Slow Fu when using that exoskeleton...

@ataturk returns: That sounds like a waste of your time and of mine.

@ataturk returns: I understand the concept of form over function, but the "function" side of things is so poorly executed here that it might as well be form without function.

I am to the point where I think that people that buy these watches have absolutely no interest in using them as watches.

@Yeah!: For a second I thought this might not be such a bad investment, but you are absolutely right. 2TB runs around $100, or 5 cents / GB. Verbatim-branded media costs $30 for a 20-pack of 25GB discs on Amazon, or 6 cents / GB. So the cost is pretty close. Then you have to add the burner...

@Kaiser-Machead v.2.1.2: Absolutely right.

Keyboard or gamepad. Not both. Combining the two just makes the end result less powerful.

@Rexter: I think that image has made my day every time someone has posted it...

@Vidit: In terms of bandwidth, I agree.

Now spotting those 1600 MS Points card sales won't be hard at all.

@syzygy: In that case there's not a lot I can do. First, and hardest, we rent. I'm not paying to fix the door, and I don't think the landlord would see it as a worthwhile investment. Fixing electrical / plumbing issues, he's happy to reimburse me, so not like he's a tyrant, just that a new door would be a hard sell…

@blash: People can simultaneously be capable of / appreciate creating an entire meal by hand AND enjoy the convenience of a food processor or the taste of an Oreo.

If it had a web browser, I would potentially buy it. The lifetime plan makes the whole thing cost just over $300, and would pair nicely with my $30/month dumbphone.

Yes, ultra-violent games are like porn.
