Sorry for the lack of stories today... Had an early flight to PAX, including a mid-day change of planes in Detroit.
I'm in the cab at the Seattle Airport, and will get some GP goodness posted a little later...

RedMage: Maybe they're going to rename it the Xbox 18006/19/2013 - 5:26pm

Andrew Eisen: Microsoft's new console shall now be known as the Xbox One-Eighty.06/19/2013 - 4:17pm

Andrew Eisen: I imagine we were typing our respective shouts at the same time.06/19/2013 - 4:14pm
|
MaskedPixelante: So Andrew... is there going to be a new poll now? I mean, the one about the XBO DRM is kinda no longer relevant.06/19/2013 - 4:13pm
|
Andrew Eisen: In light of Xbox One's furious backpeddling on its DRM policies, I'm closing the poll for now. I'll probably write a new one later today or tomorrow.06/19/2013 - 4:11pm
|
IanC: Found three people whining about this so far. Saying that its because of cheapasses and that its going to be horrible online now. W T and indeed F.06/19/2013 - 4:09pm
|
Andrew Eisen: Technogeek - I agree but: "After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again." Why do I need to connect online to set up a system I'm not going to use online?06/19/2013 - 4:07pm
|
Technogeek: @Andrew Eisen: I can't really see any other possible use for the one-time setup given the listed changes.06/19/2013 - 3:58pm

Andrew Eisen: Here's a telling bit: the page with the updates to the DRM? Yeah, it's down right now. And MS wonders why this "online check" stuff irks us so much.06/19/2013 - 3:40pm
|
Imautobot: Damage is done, I am not going to give them another chance.06/19/2013 - 3:38pm
|
Andrew Eisen: "Online authentication will still be required, but only during a console's initial setup" Hopefully, that means setting up Xbox Live and such.06/19/2013 - 3:38pm
|
PHX Corp: @EZK one down, one to go06/19/2013 - 3:37pm
|
IanC: Yeah, too little, too late. They lost my trust, and this sint enough to get it back. Theres just this lingering fear that one day it will come back, in some way.06/19/2013 - 3:35pm

Re: Traveling to PAX Today
Hey Dennis, if you come back through Detroit again, here's what you need to do:
Find the monorail. Go to McDonalds. Get some burgers, nuggets, whatever. Go to monorail, ride back and forth while waiting for your flight. A friend of mine did this and pretty much watched human interaction at its finest for three hours when our flight was delayed once.

Look for the guy wearing the purple dinner jacket and black hat with a bunch of "hello my name is" stickers :D I'll buy you a drink :D
Re: Traveling to PAX Today
Lucky. I wanted to go to PAX. :(
Re: Traveling to PAX Today
Stop by the Flying Lab booth and say hi to the guy dressed as the British Naval officer. :)
Re: Traveling to PAX Today
I was wondering how long it would take you.

Re: Traveling to PAX Today
Have fun. Let's hope PAX won't be the disappointment that E3 was.
Re: Traveling to PAX Today
I don't think anything could have been more of a disappointment than was E3 was this year.
Re: Traveling to PAX Today
We love you enough that it's okay, haha. I had to flush my computer and reinstall my OS. So I am still in the process of reinstalling all of my software... (FTP, Firefox, web/game dev stuff, games...)
My freakin ethernet wasn't recogized by my OS, so I had to go online with my girlfriend's computer and download the driver... it still wont play sound yet... This computer is nearing it's end as a primary machine after 5 years and minor upgrades (more RAM, but thats it)... Pretty damn good for a PC if you ask me. I have only seen Macs last longer... One at my work is 8 years old, no upgrades...
Time to build a computer... NewEgg, here I come!
Anyways, have fun man, let us know of your travels. In a year or 2 I'll prolly see you there.
