I've always been into video games, it's just that Halo really took it to the next level. I'm kinda lost now for a series I can really get behind. 

SHWEEEEET! um... What is it?

Just kidding. I know kick ass PC when I see it. CONGRATS!

It seems not because there's this vid here:

First of all, you should always go on more on this subject and especially because it's a game. This is the place to do it.

So, all you said makes a whole lot of sense.

I guess I'm annoyed at the humanization of MC in this game. He's being brung down to an average joe level and he's supposed to be a super hero. Feelings? Bah! Having to deal with burocracy? Nonsense!

I just can't stand modern media's insistance on rationality and realism lately. Who cares what MC thinks and feels. He's an empty shell for us to put our own personality into when we play the game.

I resent the suggestion in this game that he's some sociopathic, damaged individual whose only pal is a virtual AI naked chick. What are they trying to say about gamers? That we're like that?

As games start to merge with mainstream media, I hear the forces of mainstream media calling gamers introverted nerds and then adding love stories and real life problems to appeal to the boring masses - everything becoming a TV show. This influence was embodied in the presence of Joel McHale at the VGX Awards who did nothing but insult game designers and act like all this gaming stuff was way beneath his interest.

I get everything you're saying and I think your right on. It all makes sense but I'm still not happy about it. I figure out why after some more thought. Right now I'm conflicted between the facts you laid out and my feelings on the thing. More later.

I've heard you can connect a controller to a tablet and I've seen some funky contraptions that turn your phone into a controller. I guess those could solve some of those problems.

It would be neat to have Now as part of PS+ or even for a little bit more if you have PS+.

I might like it for new releases 'cause it's so expensive to buy games day-one, but ultimately I like to own games I really like.

It's always about keeping the money streaming in for them isn't it. No new product? Resell old product with some new tweak. Diablo III, Tomb Raider and Assassin's Creed IV are all getting next gen versions but that's what usually happens when new consoles arrive.

 I find it weird thinking about playing games on a streaming service like PSNow and not actually own any of the games, but then I used to be attached to CDs and DVDs. Now I don't really care about that stuff. We'll see.

It's taking a lot longer than CDs and DVDs. Those are both still around but in much reduced numbers - no music or movie stores around anymore.

All of those look great!

I used to be into Gamefly.

I would think stock prices just dropped for them as well as GameStop this week. Maybe they'll just get their own streaming service and be truely just like Netflix with the same choice of streaming or discs through the mail.

I just heard some more news about Steam Box. That's coming too.
