Yeah just funny that he's treading as close as possible while still following the rules.

lol Fedor, such a cunt... Posting Bolton and the sword he probably stabs Robb with in the non-spoiler thread? Sheesh.

Huge about-face? The changes are not that huge, they're nothing more than expected usability upgrades like any other OS would have. Many of the changes are much needed and probably coming too late, but it's not like MS is changing their overall vision here.

Sure it does, just not the shitty limited one we've been using since Windows 95.

Not surprising at all considering the PS3 was marketed as a living room computer that could do anything including playing games, which they ended up butchering the functionality of due to piracy concerns. Of course they'd try to steer the other direction in the next generation.

Gotta keep going 'til we find strings or their unknown equivalent!

XBAND, fuck yeah. Playing the SNES online was laggy and magical.

Really? That feature has been available on tablets since forever? Because that's what they're comparing, a Windows 8 tablet to an iPad.

Looks like 8.1 is what they should have launched with: http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/30/m...-8-1-unveiled/ TL;DR: . 2 new tile sizes, one larger one smaller . Search goes through everything, don't need to specify app/settings/files . Snap can resize to anything, not just 80/20 split ...

They don't render at 720p, but they're upscaled to it, and I'd bet $100 that your average mouth breather doesn't know the difference. Rendering at 1080p should be quite the difference, plus other graphical changes ofc.

Thanos of Myreen resurrects Baric the redlord right?

Almost anything with a touch screen has SmartGlass available to it, so I don't think anyone will get device sales out of this. Just more of a demo on how you can avoid using a controller by using devices you likely already have. Browsing the internet using a phone for a keyboard > controller typing.

I don't think you have to. He was just trying to demonstrate what you can do with a smartphone / Smart Glass app. Those things are probably all possible with a controller as well, which he obviously avoided using for the sake of demonstration.

It's much more convenient to use two devices instead of one. Always.

So you wouldn't enjoy watching some TV or a movie on the side while you farm a JRPG to get the 100% completion that means nothing but you still want the achievement for? I call bullshit. You'll use it.

It renders at 720p, but my argument isn't making a case for graphics. I'm trying to make a case for background processing that the player wouldn't actually notice but could take a large load off of the console's processing. So you're sidestepping my argument, which was for background things like...

Cost to MS is higher, but the cost to the consumer is lower. They're already going to be pushing the price range of what we think is acceptable. OnLive already does this, that's how you can play high end games on low end devices. It's also exactly what Gaikai is going to be doing for the PS4...

Not sure why you guys think we'd need fiber-level bandwidth. The data transfer itself is minuscule, it's the calculations that are large - calculations that would be handled by the cloud computing. If OnLive can stream an entire game plus its controls to my Kindle Fire with hardly any lag...

Google TV is awesome in theory but they got fucked over by content providers. If Microsoft has deals with said content providers, I don't see why their system can't excel where Google's failed.

Yes.

The current one is terrible, but everyone that has had a hands-on with the new one say it's pretty great.

R'hllor is the Lord of Light, more commonly known in Westeros as the Red God.

What's so bad about using the Kinect over a headset? Apparently the voice recognition is really good on the new one. They still guarantee that everyone can chat online because the Kinect is required and in the box.

EA has back peddled on the no Wii U games thing. Now they say there just "aren't as many in production."

I wouldn't call Dany power-hungry at all. Dany is on a quest to get what she feels she is owed, something that was taken from her family, and is trying to do so somewhat honorably (like by freeing slaves). Cersei wants power just to have it, and probably wouldn't care at the end of the day if...

She is a priestess of the Red God, the one that demands blood, ya know? I don't think it's surprising or ominous to anyone when she says that she's done a lot of sacrifices. I didn't take that comment as anything more than its face value.

When have you ever seen Melisandre to be dishonest? She basically does exactly what she says she's going to do.

I'm guessing $499 or $349 + 2 yr XBL agreement

By what reasoning? Melisandre believes Stannis is the rightful king by Westerosi law and chosen by the Lord of Light. She has no motive to betray him, Gendry certainly doesn't have more right to the throne than Stannis does.

I don't see how they could possibly top a war of all great living and dead ninjas, plus the juubi, especially when they haven't introduced any new possible villains. The manga has to be on its way to ending.

Stannius is lawful neutral. Six kingdoms out of seven is not enough for the True King, and Robb is a traitor for calling himself king.

It's pretty nice, definitely made watching last night easier. I appreciate that I can turn off the rest of the lights in my house, and it does serve as a good night light too like someone else said.

Got the backlights Vvoid linked, here's how they turned out. Edit - it's a 47" panel and the lights almost go edge to edge.

Yeah, that's a good point. MP games will cause rage. Oh god can you imagine the people screaming online while playing Halo?

The game suspends when it switches, I don't think it keeps going in the background while you're doing something else.

It doesn't replace your DVR, it has HDMI in that allows you to plug your DVR into it. The X1 is basically acting like Google TV in this case. Even so, it's going to beextremelyconvenient for anyone that already has cable service to be able to switch from game -> TV and back without having to...

Oh fuck off. No one can objectively look at both systems and say that MS doesn't have the better user experience. Maybe if you hate sports, tv and a fluid interface.

I stopped loaning out games in 1999 after someone stole my copy of FFVIII.

Most devs atm seem to prefer developing for the 360 and porting to PS3 afterwards. If that remains the case, I'd say we can expect 30fps X1 games andmaybe40fps PS4 games. If devs do a 180 and start to prefer the PS4 coding this generation, you may be right. Only time will tell. I still maintain...
