Forza looks amazing, campaign co-op so pretty sure 1 purchase means I can play on PC and my wife can play on Xbox (signed into her own account), don't see why that wouldn't work.
Yeah, love Xbox Anywhere. Wonder if MS is going to end up w/ a 4k/UHD player on the market before Sony's Neo.
Note the slim doesn't come w/ a stand or controller. $299 for 500gb.
Yeah, I have kinda stopped caring about when games release until there's an opportunity to play in a beta or they're just a few weeks out.
More interested in the ecosystem changes (Win10, remote play, etc) that have a bigger impact than a single release.
Not surprising, they're tweaking things with all their incentive programs, like I think I read the GCU discount no longer applies on Black Friday and some other significant sales now after their terms and conditions update.
That's pretty cool, and how I'll probably get it if I do. I'm in some guild that hasn't cleared HFC on normal yet ... I'm not a raider though, was going to start joining them occasionally.
More syllables makes it more reliable I think. Slang/shorthand kinda works now, so 'I wanna play Madden' will play Madden NFL 16 (or ask you which Madden and present you with options - but I haven't experienced that yet) or 'play Guardians of the Galaxy' instead of 'play Guardians of the Galaxy...
Yeah, and you'd sometimes have to say it 8 times as you walked to the controller or the button on the front. You can say it all at once too, I just pause so I don't have to repeat myself if it didn't.
Hey Cortana is absolutely a mouthful if you aren't stringing together commands to get your...
Got the new preview on my Xbox One, Cortana is really nice so far. Will take some getting used to but a lot more responsive so far, though I'm well inside placebo territory, the real test will be tomorrow w/ the kids and wife trying to use it and all sorts of other stuff is going on.
I'd think there's a lot they could do there, just depends on what they could actually get momentum behind. We're already going to see things like 'meStevo - playing Stellaris on Steam' on Xbox Live friends lists shortly. If I bought a game digitally from MS and that entitled me to play that...

Would be a hell of a thing if MS really made this official next week.
Microsoft could turn every PC into an Xbox
Microsoft is currently working on a secret project internally, codenamed Helix. Kotaku originally reported on the Project Helix name, and the work is designed to more closely...
Ariel Helwani and other MMAfighting staff were escorted out of the building and their press credentials taken away before the main event for the Lesnar rumors before the official announcement.

Interested in hardware announcements and OS updates now that MS is opting people in to the next big preview over the next 2 weeks leading up to their presser.
I tend to worry about games when they're closer to actually being released. Would like to see some more Crackdown.
This looks pretty cool, too bad it's probably a closed system and a scheme to make you have to buy everything through a store or something.

It's not too horrible IMO. It has the incentive boxes to try and get you to buy keys for the chance at mounts, and inventory space is at a premium. If you like it it's worth spending a few bucks on though. Not a bad game at all IMO and still tinker with it from time to time on both Xbox One...
Actually picked up like $40 worth of books this week.
Good first impressions of both Civil War #1 and Superman: Rebirth #1.
Still have several others to read, not even sure I've ever even read a Green Arrow book before.
Was really hoping for Magneto to rip Apocalypse in 2 like in the comics, otherwise plot was pretty predictable I thought. Only real surprise was the casualty mid-movie.
Just the covers to the Darksied war make me want to pick up the eventual hardcover, some great art. Haven't read any of it though, including the conclusion.
Funny how the PS4 games leaked, they were in the alt text of the current Gold games in the final May newsletter.
Looks like Xbox One is now $299 ahead of the expected hardware announcement(s) at E3.
