Morning :slight_smile: Super hyped for the MCC. It still feels a little surreal, like I’m waiting for them to say that it is just a dream xD

As for Smash Bros… I think I gotta buy my wife a WiiU now… xD

So, Xbox One will be officially launched here 6th of September.

Slow clap, Microsoft.

Slow clap…

I want to see a good class based shooter…(loadouts ≠ classes) I mean one like TF2.

I got around to pre-ordering the MC Collection.

I’m slow aren’t I?

It’s alright, I’m slower. I probably won’t pre-order it until I get back to school after my internship is over. I still have to figure out where I’m Pre-Ordering Halo 5 as I have no idea where I will be living then…

Lololol thanks XD

My retailer didn’t list any of the pre-order bonuses though :L

In time my friend.
Its too early for anything like that but I’m sure you will get you skull when the game finally comes out.

November couldn’t be sooner.

> I want to see a good class based shooter…(loadouts ≠ classes) I mean one like TF2.

Hmmmm… could be interesting… but what would classes be? Just loadouts designed in a specific way, or something else entirely? (I know you didn’t say loadouts, but if you could explain more…? Sorry)

You guys think you’re slow?
I have yet to grab a Xbox One.
All in good time…

And, on another note, here’s the (shameless promotion for the) gamenight thread.

Comic, you waiting for a special edition Xbox One to be announced? Or is $$$ too steep?

> Comic, you waiting for a special edition Xbox One to be announced? Or is $$$ too steep?

Really… both.

When it was first released, I knew they overpriced it, and it had issues galore, so I waited. Then, Microsoft admitted their mistake and lowered the price, removing the near-pointless Kinect 2.0.
But at the moment, there’s nothing out there that makes me want to get it now. Nearly every game (that I think is worthwhile) that is available on it is also available for the 360. I see no reason in purchasing a One now.

I’ll wait again, until summer ends, see what’s out for it, where the price stands, any special editions or deals, yadda yadda, then I’ll make my move. :\

Eh, he’s okay. I really like his enthusiasm on the Halo universe. He is a big fan like you and me.

Nah, I still have to do it. I’ll probably go to Gamestop today.

Who is John Galt? :wink:

I actually don’t think the kinect 2.0 is useless. For gaming, absolutely. For just navigating through the menus and using it for entertainment apps, its super useful. I would say the system would be worthwhile by november.

On my way to my bedroom after work, I pass my man cave. I just say “Xbox, On” and then shed my bag and coat. When I walk buy again to grab a snack, I say “Sign in as ******* ******,” and then come back. I haven’t been home since the update where you stay signed in :confused: It’s really useful, especially for snapping apps and whatnot. I think the Kinect is an integral part of what the Xbox One hopes to become. It really is the future of what every console will have standard, I think.

Ha ha, well, the Wii U’s a nice little games console. Granted it’s not as powerful as the Xbox One or PS4, but it’s a good piece of software.

As for Smash bros, I really like the look of it. Still some work to do though.

That pretty much sums up where I’m at as well.

But on top of that I’m also waiting to see if they release a special edition box for H5. They released special edition box’s for Reach and H4, but my 360 was working fine, so I couldn’t justify picking either one up. Assuming that the trend will continue, I see 343 releasing a Halo themed XB1 at the launch of Halo 5. (And hope that the Kinect isn’t included)

So until then, I wait, and its not overly difficult to do (For the same reasons Comic mentioned above). I also have several games that I haven’t played through yet in my collection, so those will help pass the time nicely until then.

I agree with you. Although I have not noticed a difference with signing in… is there something I have to turn on or what? What is it even suppose to do for that matter? The way I understood it is it will automatically sign me in without me telling it to. I just want an Auto-sign in

Whats up?

For 3 days in a row I have gone to bed at 3a.m. and wake up at 7a.m.
I haven’t had a haircut in a long time, and I haven’t had time to shave.

I am going to look like a hippie by the time this is over…

How is everyone else going?

Four hours of sleep a night? ouch… I can’t function without 8 hours at least. I too could use a haircut, it doesn’t even look like a hairstyle anymore.

Yeah, there is nothing but homework for college, and put my job into the equation and thats whats going on right now.

I haven’t even been able to finish my homeworks :confused:

I really don’t understand why I have to make stuff by hand if in the future I’ll do everything on a computer. Its not like I’ll be doing concept arts by hand and take about twice the time for something that will not look as good…

PS. its time to get an xbox one.

PPS. My payment issues still persist…
