Ooo wow! That would be great! There's nothing like a gorgeous RPG to pull me into buying a console.

I look at the front page and may even read what's there while I'm waiting at Starbucks on my way to gaming with a friend every weekend. I'm pretty sure that doesn't count as "reading the paper", but I've heard that some people do. Who they are. I have no idea.

Every weekend now I think about just leaving it all behind, but then I come to my senses and dash to my friend's place to play games all day. Am I to old to do this at 45? According to my peers, yes. But reading the NYTimes while smoking a pipe and petting my Corsican Mastiff just doesn't appeal to me the way Shadow Wars, Enchanted Arms or Etrian Odyssey do. 

It's all about the money as we all know. I'm already feeling alienated by the whole thing. I guess I'll go back to my niche gamerdom and play my JRPGs on PS2. Sob.

It's PCish then. Not better, is it.

Bonnie Ross, GM of 343 Industries, was certainly easy on the eyes. I was hoping for Halo 4 executive producer Kiki Wolfkill however. What a perfect name for someone leading a video game team!

You got it. It's called Xbox One now.

It makes sense in a business way since they want that mainstream adoption. That's not to say I like it at all. This is what happens when the suits make the decisions.

I don't have cable either. I never watch live TV anymore because of all the commercials. Just can't stand that stuff anymore.

That's it. It's a PC. Congrats, Microsoft, you've come full circle.
