I've owned two 360's. I've fought the Covenant, I've bleed with my brothers on Sera, and visited Albion. I gave up the last X machine a little after the release of the Kinect. Why? It's not because I didn't want it anymore, IT no longer wanted me.
That was the rebirth of the Xbox, a new beginning a time when Nintendo was king of sales, and both Microsoft and Sony wanted in on the action. The Playstation Move failed, because Sony choose the safe route, one that stayed loyal to their fan base and at the same time tried to lower the average age of their gamers. Microsoft at first seemed that they choose the same thing, we all laughed at the Kinect, thinking I was a harmless toy, and just like the Wii Remote before it, that toy changed a brand forever.
Back in February Sony showed us the PS4 (sort of) and many games with it. There was a game for every type of gamer out there. Microsoft showed us the new Kinect, or “Kinect 2.0 TV ONE” to be more precise. An excellent rival for Apple TV and any other type of media box out there but not for the PS4, no Microsoft made it clear that gamers are the sort of people that like to watch TV while playing and that Halo would be cooler as a TV series rather than a new game. Also every gamer out there loves ESPN and American football. I always wanted 3 O.S.'s on my console and dreamed of the day I say goodnight to grandma while killing aliens. I pride myself on being a hardcore gamer, I love the industry, I've been here almost from the start and I have no intention of leaving no matter how much companies like Nintendo and Microsoft, who once cared for me and my needs and I rewarded them with money and trust, even when that trust was put to the test (RROD, Wii etc.), try to sell my passion, my hobby to some stupid f**k that plays only COD and Fifa (or anyother generic sports game that is launched every year with nothing new to bring to the table), and was wet dreams about the high score he made in Dance Central and Fruit Ninja.
There isn't going to be a next-gen war! The PS4 and the Xbox ONE are on two different battlefields.
Microsoft, with the Kinect you pushed me away, but with the Xbox ONE you lost me forever. I wish you luck in the future in all you projects, we were friends once and I will cherish those moments forever.
EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.
EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.
Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.
This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.
SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space
Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
With the defense MO failing, many players think that a change in how these missions work is called for.
I heard you have to pay a fee now to access used games, and its mandatory to install them to HDD.
GG Well played MS, it was an interesting generation.
All of this outrage/anger/hate over the Xbox One reveal is most disturbing for me as a gamer. Can't really explain it or put it into words, which is probably why I'm not commenting much today :/
Someone should write a blog about the "Judgemental Opinions on Negative News in Gaming"
Honestly think I'm about to jump back over Sony ship or just go the PC route.
MS lost me with the...
"Isn't always online but requires a internet connection"
Then the whole might have to pay a fee to play used games.
At least when Sony did their conference they instantly dispel always online and rather or not the PS4 can play used games.
I didn't have to play Sherlock Holmes searching for answers.
After the whole Adam Orth( or w/e name) event you would think this would be something MS would address directly.
Did this get approved as a blog
I know a lot of people complain about N4G being a playground for Sony fanboys and the SDF, but seriously now -- I don't care where your allegiance was before the conference -- but after MS announced the XB1 it's obvious they have NOTHING and I do mean NOTHING to do with core gamers.
We got a couple of pre-rendered videos and about 8 minutes of Call of Duty that didn't look impressive at all (compared to Battlefield 4, anyway). I don't see how anyone can be excited for the XB1 when it has nothing to do with gaming.
This blog was spot on...I just can't put into words how disappointed I am with MS and the Xbox brand right now. To think, I'll have to get a Wii U for core gaming purposes...if I had said that back in 2008 people would have laughed at me. Now, I assume I'll be joined in line with others picking up a Wii U or PS4 this holiday season.
