Spicy has no meaning for me. I’ve never had a spicy food that I couldn’t handle.

Dude…Nice.

Lol.

I mean, does nobody else complain about this?

Literally everyone. I don’t know what to tell you except to set up some external storage.

I suddenly know what I’m going to put on my tombstone.

“Waiting to re-spawn (Too many enemy’s nearby)”

8107

Dam, I can see why some feel the need to announce when they’re going to sleep. You come back the next day and you miss five pages of conversation.

Under normal circumstances I’d love to leave debates like this unfinished (well not really, but it never looks good to bring up an argument when everyone else has moved on).

But I feel like I can’t let this one slide.

> yes its good that we are on the same page about activision doing such moves to make them richer! bungie can’t really do nothing about it. something you proboly already know. Who gave you the idea I was angry at Bungie or anyone else in particular? did i say you was angry? i don’t recall that.

Your use of words like bashing certainly gave off that impression.

> And if you knew it was coming than why weren’t you expecting people to be ticked off about it? Why are you in such a shock that I’d be angry about this? I’m not shocked about you being angry about it just that you gotta understand its a business move and its ok to be angry but keep it to yourself but don’t be like I’m disappointed and stuff. i also was angry about it and posted it on the bungie forums not exactly what we are talking about now but stuff like this. so i can sort of see where you’re coming from but its business and thats how it works

This, this right here in particular is why I couldn’t let this slide. You’re here telling me that I need to keep my thoughts on something to myself? Really? That just doesn’t fly. If I’m actively against something and want my voice to be heard I have every right to voice my complaints and it’s a ridiculous demand of you to say that I should do otherwise.

But that’s not all. Then you tell me that you’ve done the same thing I’ve done about another business move on Bungie.net? What are you trying to get at by telling me not to do something and then following it up by telling me about how you’ve done the same thing before? If that’s not hypocritical I don’t know what is.

And it’s ridiculous to tell me that “it’s just how business works”. No, the way business works is that someone has an idea and they use that idea to make money. If you disagree with that idea than you refuse to support it and then they don’t get your money. If we let every bad decision they make slide because “it’s just business” they’ll end up selling rocks and dirt to us because we refuse to tell them that they’re doing things wrong. It’s important that we call them out on decisions like this and feel comfortable about making complaints.

> and also we haven’t seen what the dlc even is so it might not be a cash grab.

Yes we do.

It’s a cheap desperate attempt to get the consumer to buy two games instead of one. it’s a cash grab.

Really sorry to drag up a conversation from five pages ago but I couldn’t leave this unchallenged.

I know what you mean, the Xbox One leaves 362gb (I think) free after the OS and other features have been used up, so considering the size of games now, the HDD is relatively small.
And yes, every game must be installed.
You can always delete some games that you don’t play very often, and just have to re-install them when you wanna play them if you want the space free for future games. Or get an external hard drive.
It’s kinda annoying because the new CoD console has 1tb, so we can be sure to expect more releases with a higher capacity. I knew they were coming, but no so soon.

That’s actually really clever.

So anyone got any big plans for Mincraft this weekend?

Mining.

Steam account finally unlocked after a week and a half.

A little longer than I expected, but not too bad.

8113

Thought you guys should know about this deal going on next week.

8114

> Thought you guys should know about this deal going on next week.

I can confirm that you can indeed get Destiny free and it also applies to consoles already bundled with a game like Madden.

Silent’s legendary quest is finally over.

Until his account gets locked again.

8116

Ahh, what.
I feel hard done by with all the stuff Microsoft is beginning to do. For example, more consoles are going to come out with larger hard drives(obviously this was expected, but a year later, I thought it would be longer, and sure you can get an external one but an internal one is preferable for me)
Cheaper console bundles, and a deal like that. ^^
I should have waited, this sort of stuff was expected.
Oh well…

DONE!

Edit: I am now going to abuse this.

Guess we have to kill Candy in the next three months if that tombstones going to be accurate. I’ll get my sword.
Kidding, if that wasn’t painfully obvious.

Make sure your will specifies a bigger tombstone.
