Due to a severe storm in our area, plus lightning/thunder, our Time Warner Cable did what it does best and went out. I saw the truck in our alleyway just after getting back from my walk, and the cable and internet came back on.
You know what the first thing I did was when our stuff went out? Played F-Zero GX on my Gamecube, getting to Story Level 6 from Story Level 3, playing a few Grand Prix races to earn money so I could purchase those levels (which was annoying, cause I know I've done it already; stupid low memory card space).
Who makes a bomb that only goes off if a vehicle drops below a certain speed?
A guy in a black suit that resembles a bull-demon. #Video games.
You know what would happen if I had forgotten to hook my Xbox One up to the internet within twenty-four hours of this happening? Apparently, it would be useless, according to this exchange between Kotaku and Microsoft VP Phil Harrison, which gigantor21 has posted elsewhere:
Kotaku: If I’m playing a single player game, do I have to be online at least once per hour or something like that? Or can I go weeks and weeks?
Harrison: I believe it’s 24 hours.
Kotaku: I’d have to connect online once every day.
Harrison: Correct.
So, to recap:
VS 
Winner:
In fairness, I actually like the look of the thing and thing the all-in-one features are cool to me as a more casual gamer/ someone who's more or equally interested in other media. So it's too bad none of that matters, since this is really driving me away from the system
There was an IGN article that said Kinect has improved dramatically. Not owning current-gen consoles, I didn't know what was wrong with it to begin with, but it damn well better be awesome since it's also mandatory. Seriously, when did consoles start having the same mindset of the IRS? I mean at least my taxes go to to things like law enforcement and Medicare, but why the hell does my disposable income need to go to a white-boy-dancing-around-like-a-jackass-recorder I don't even want?
I'm still excited for E3, but today was not a good day for Microsoft as far as myself, or the stock market (Sony was up nine points during the reveal), are concerned.
