When Microsoft revealed the 21^st of May as their showcase for the future of the entertainment medium I was excited by the prospect. Having been disappointed by Sony's offerings of sequels and pseudo Frankenstein controllers, I was hoping MS would offer something more...much more. Well we all saw the console which is more than what Sony did, however upon feasting it's rather bland 1980's vhs player styled design should they have showed it at all? A small part of me thought it was deliberate in an attempt to make the console look similar to those of old, those from my generation. Maybe they wanted to grab the attention of the Space Invaders elite?

If that was the intention then they failed as the new Xbox One (it's now official name) looked more akin to a set top box than a console with the same features enjoyed by that said medium. As I sit here a cool breeze gusting through the balcony doors and a refreshing Orange juice greets my lips I wonder if this is the future of gaming? The Xbox One reveal seemed nothing more than MS wanting to get into a territory already frequented by other companies who quite frankly have much more experience with the subject matter. Has MS decided to put the other entertainment mediums first and games second? Such a prospect is so bizzarre and non coherent I dread to think it.

Then there is the rather more alarming concern of used game fee's and one user per console mentality. Do MS honestly expect a married couple to both buy the same version of the same game so both can enjoy it on the same console? In another world it would be comedy gold the kind of content that Laurel and Hardy would use to captivate audiences worldwide. The worrying feeling however is that this situation is no joke and it's a nightmare that we will never awake from. No matter how one looks at it the reveal raised more questions than eyebrows and alerted the gaming world to some very serious questions.

I also got something for everyone,and it's from Sonic

: I'd noticed how you knew my response,so in return I have a bit of story for you(this story was intended for the recently posted Crush Hour)

Sol Mate

: what should I do now...?

:  I know! I should go to Blaze's

*at Blaze's house*

: Blaze...?anybody home?

: She's not around at this time

:Silver?! what are you doing here?!

: doing a housekeeping in case of something happened

: all by yourself?

: nah,Shadow's helping out too

: sure thing,two for one house,by the way,why are you here, Sonic?

: I'm looking for Blaze

: she went off with Marine to Griffith Observatory

: I thought she was at LACC by now

: you're too worried about E3 again are you?

: heck no

: then why are you saying that in the first place

: forget it

*at Griffith Observatory*

: yay! we're here!

: we already did,it's like you said that a million times after we came in

: I forgot to stop because of my impatience

: the Book of Constellation says that there are Orion,Ursa Major and Minor plus the others,I need more elaborate details on this

: o,sure you wanted it,but no sleepin' otherwise I leave you here

: awright already!

: good,because I will tell you. In our universe,we live much like the others,yet we can only see Orion,its shape looks like a hunter,when it lit and connect,it will look just the picture,and it's around his belt that we live in it,and in that belt was Milky Way Galaxy...

: does that include margarine and milk?

: o,you've got to be kiddin' me,NO!

: it may look milky,but it all came from the natural light and space dust clumped together into one huge mass of spatial cloud

: should we get a closer gander?

: I assure you that we will,there are massive telescopes up on the roof,we should be able to gander more than that

*at the telescope dome*

: ain't that a beaut? blimey! I bet it was heavy to walk with it

: it is,but that thing was stationed to the ground for years,some of them aged for about 30 years or so,and it's still runnin'

: crikey! I can see Jupiter from here!

PA: Attention,the observatory is now closed.

: looks like it's our cue to go home

*back at Blaze's house*

: why do we have to go drunk at this time of night?

: maybe it was Shadow's idea while we're waiting for Blaze

: I bought 18 bottles of Corona,isn't that enough for us?

: yeah,but why are you buying that much?

: Marine keeps her "sol" mate busy with a lot of nonsense

: quick,dispose the bottles! I heard car engine heading this way

: sure

*Shadow disposed the bottles by using chaos control*

 : something's not right here...I smell alcohol

: yo,Blaze!

: great.it's you,what are you doing here?

: I'm here for a date request

: why don't you just bugger off,I had too much trouble with my "sol" mate,Marine. some other time then

: ok...(dammit,I should've just stayed at my home with Tails instead)
