Huh, interesting. I think it's some sort of graded statistical map, like incarceration or obesity rates or something similarly pleasant.

Fast forward to today and the store is still a giant piece of poo poo in most respects, go figure. If I didn't love Forza so much I wouldn't even turn it on. Hopefully the PC ports turn up better in the future.

It's about the same as Steam, yeah.

This isn't what we could have had.

Well, you all wouldn't be able to play the game at the same time, true. But it's pretty close to the original vision.

Anyway, Destiny 2 is pretty good and I don't even care how suboptimal the experience is because I was raised on Commodore 64 and never developed a D/s relationship with Digital Foundry. Mrs. Rainbowbeard thought the lighting is very pretty and I agree.

Heh, I grew up on the c64 too and now I can only play at true 4k/60. The c64 was a beast in its time so that makes more sense.

I'm sure that was their "original vision", that's why they kept being really vague about the specifics, because it was going to be so great for gamers. And why they haven't implemented it to this day.

I suck at dancing and would like to suck slightly less. Thinking about buying an Xbox one just so I can play Dance Central Spotlight. I liked the series on 360 (but then the Kinect broke).

Replace your 360's Kinect for a fraction of the cost instead. As tiny as the 360 Kinect library is, it runs absolute circles around the Xbox One library.

Yeah, people can get really angry when it comes to console wars. It's hilarious but after a while you realise that is sad.

If I had the money I'd have a 2nd PS4, a Demon's Souls machine, a bone s and x, a switch and whatever else could get.

Of course the bone s would be for my second home.

I'm not even playing Microsoft exclusives on PC (with the exception of Quantum Break): Why would I want a Bone? Consoles aren't expensive, it's a question of not wanting one because it doesn't offer anything I care about.

Willingly bringing a child into this world is just cruel. Video games on the other hand have been one smash hit after another, and it would be a shame for anybody to miss out just because you needed to buy baby formula or whatever.

I can vouch for that. If any female ever gets too close, just say you need to go home to play video games. Works 9 out of 10 times.

My wife never played videogames until recently. I gifted my sister back in 2009 a Wii (the usual wii sports and trivual pursuit) and a few months ago I asked her if I could pick it up since he used it like three times since that. She watched me play some ping-pong and she liked it (and that cycling game too!). I did another test with Until Dawn on my PS4 as she loves horror films and we beat the game in two nights with me doing the QTE's and she being the one taking decisions, was funny looking at her getting angry with certain outcomes or characters. Is always nice to see there's enough market even for those that aren't interested in videogames.

And yes, playing Monopoly is the best contraceptive.
