http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/10/08/xbox-boss-talks-xbox-ones-cloud-backwards-compatibility-and-gives-a-honest-answer-on-directx-12/Microsoft’s Xbox Division head honcho Phil Spencer was interviewed by the good folks at The Inner Circle podcast, and he had a lot to say about the future of Xbox One, starting with the promise that he’s listening to feedback on Backwards Compatibility:
Back compat is always a hot topic at the turn of a generation, and I get why, especially on 360 so many people bought so much digital content and it means that a lot of us are holding on to our 360s. I get the question. I totally respect the question. There’s nothing I can say now, but I’ll just say “I hear you.” I definitely hear you and I’ll continue to try to work to build something that can help people out.
He then moved on to talk about the cloud, explaining what we can expect from the technology as it gets gradually adopted by developers and admitting that communicating it better with gamers may be a good idea:
On cloud, and I don’t know, people always make fun of me when I say cloud, I need to come up with another word (laughs). Just like with dedicated servers and people playing multiplayer, but people don’t think of that as cloud because everybody does it, and I get that, but I think I looked at a stat the other day, and I bet it’s gonna be 34 to 40% of the games live this holidays are gonna be using the cloud technology that we put out in some way.
When you look at something like crackdown, you’re picking up something that’s trying to jump a leap ahead and do some things that people haven’t done before. Titanfall did some of this with the AI stuff that they did. [...] Halo 5 is gonna be something that’s obviously making use of the technology.
In any kind of these technologies, you kind of do a little on the techology platform side, then you get some studio to try to use the tech, they tell you what’s working and what’s not working, the platform makes more progress, and you kinda iterate over time. [...] Definitely from first party and third party we’re seeing more and more people look at the technology that we’re putting out there and use it. Maybe we should think about how to talk about it with consumers better.
Finally, he gave a very straightforward answer on DirectX 12, that some touted as some miracle tech that somehow doubled the power of the Xbox One’s GPU, a view that Spencer doesn’t hesitate to curb with refreshing honesty:
On the DX12 question, I was asked early on by people if DX12 is gonna dramatically change the graphics capabilities of Xbox One and I said it wouldn’t. I’m not trying to rain on anybody’s parade, but the CPU, GPU and memory that are on Xbox One don’t change when you go to DX12. DX12 makes it easier to do some of the things that Xbox One’s good at, which will be nice and you’ll see improvement in games that use DX12, but people ask me if it’s gonna be dramatic and I think I answered no at the time and I’ll say the same thing.
Yet, Spencer explained that it’ll ease development especially for those working on both PC and Xbox One, since the API will make using the hardware on both platforms easier. He also mentioned that developers will get better at using DirectX 12 over time, and we’ll see a continuous increase in the fidelity of the games like it happened with Xbox 360.

Make a character with a debilitating fear of combat who runs at even the possibility of a fight. max out your Speech, Barter, and Charisma stats, and only use companions when you enter combat.

It's pretty disturbing how many racists are on this site. And it's a shame the moderators do nothing about it. It's just a free for all around here. Do we just not have standards?
You wouldn't happen to have any evidence to back up those claims would you?

From the article: Horror stories about how much money people have spent on stuff you can buy in games have been around as long as there has been microtransactions and in-app purchases. But one teenager in Belgium went absolutely crazy with the amount of money he poured into online strategy game Game of War: Fire Age.
According to Belgian news outlet Nieuwsblad, the unnamed kid was reportedly buying in-game gold via his grandfather's credit card. The credit card info was given to him by his mother, who had requested her son's help to buy and download eBooks onto her tablet. After linking the credit card to his own iTunes account, he spent thousands of euros on gold in Game of War: Fire Age over the course of a couple of months. The boy's mother says that he claims not to have known that he was spending real money.

Holy shite. That was awesome. Much better than Halo 3's or Halo Reach's OST. (In my opinion.)
Have you ever played Halo 2?
No, I haven't unfortunately.

Well, I don't really know what any of this is about but I'll speak my piece.
You honestly seem like a nice person, it's just that you tend to to be somewhat overly aggressive when it comes to your politics and your beliefs, and as a result some people end up thinking that you're trying to be an asshole when you're really not.
Other than that, I don't have any problems with you at all.

If we can get enough stragglers who stayed at B.net to migrate over, maybe.

Be sure to document all of this. Not by secretly recording or taping it, but just by keeping an account of how she's treating you and the kids. If it ever comes to a custody dispute in court, this is the kind of stuff that makes the difference.

I don't feel depressed or anything, but I'm currently having to juggle four courses at once for college, and I can't help but feel really overwhelmed at the moment.
I have 6 and it makes me want to kill myself.
For several of the classes this is how it goes:
>Overwhelmed by work
>Don't do work cuz overwhelmed
>Day I have to go to those classes comes up
>Panic attacks because I haven't done the work
>Too nervous and depressed to do work then
>Go to class in shame
Cycle repeats
Damn, and I thought I had it hard. Good luck with that man.

Destiny has a good soundtrack, I won't deny that. But it will never be this good...

four year member here, although i like to pretend that the majority of my posts pre-2011 never happened
Yeah, I know how you feel. Some of my earliest posts were quite cringe-worthy.
