I still feel the Tom Cruise win was a elaborate troll of a idea that is also a troll(releasing a movie of a game which no one has played.... as if video game movies are solid investments to start with...

P.S. I was going to vote for Tom Cruise as a troll when I saw him wining lol

@OldKye I was gonna vote for Robert Pattison but he wasn't on the list, I think that movie would be awesome if it included sparkly vampires.

@vackillers If I went to work every day and had to listen to a neverending stream of complaints, I'd quit, too. Passion can only survive so long in the face of immature douchebaggery.

What you say (or ask) about the Fez developer (Phil Fish) isn't unreasonable.

It's probably good to remember that the guy is only in his mid-to-late 20s, though. (I can't easily find any concrete information about his age, but mid-to-late 20s is what most people speculate and seems to be reasonable. Let's say 27, just for the sake of this dialogue.)

People who are in their 20s might seem "grown up" to some people here. As for me, I'll turn 40 in five months from now -- and I can definitely remember that I didn't really "have my shit together", so to speak, when I was in my 20s. Neither did any of the other 20+ year-olds that I worked with. Some of them were more mature than others, for sure -- but 27 is still a relatively young age.

Locking yourself in a basement and developing video games for hours and hours doesn't promote strong social development. Neither does training for sports; no amount of kicking or throwing balls around is going to prevent anyone from being socially awkward or inept. That's why many professional athletes (even those in the 30s, or older) hire spokespeople and representatives.

As a fan of tennis, it always mystifies me why so many other fans expect the players (mostly 20-30 years old) to say all of the right things and have impeccable etiquette during their post-match press conferences. At a certain level of success, they become viable options for corporate sponsorships and must learn how to speak and act properly in order to retain those sponsorships. You may recall that even popular athletes like Tiger Woods and Michael Vick (American football) lost many sponsors (and the money that came with those sponsorships) due to their behavioral issues. Tiger was in his mid-30s; Vick was 27.

Likewise, Lindsay Lohan is currently 27 years old; so is Amanda Bynes. Tom Cruise was in his 40s when he jumped on Oprah's couch, and Don Mattrick is 49 right now. "Erm... uh... Yeah!" *clap clap clap*

I'm not defending the behavior of any of the people I've named. All I'm saying is that people screw up, regardless of their ages -- and people in their 20s are certainly no exception.

Simply put: Life is a series of fucking up and learning from your mistakes; there's no age when the learning stops. Game developers are no exception.

@Renunciation How come people said we shouldn't pry into Bill Clinton's personal life, but Tiger Woods does the same damn thing and people roasted him alive.

@DaRq_MiNoS @Renunciation I don't think many made that distinction - both deserve privacy. The problem with Clinton is that it was the result of a long, expensive investigation, and few thought he should actually be impeached for it. If the paparazzi want to spend their time hounding people, I guess that's their choice. Do I want Congress spending their time doing the same? No.

@DaRq_MiNoS @Renunciation Most of people who said that we shouldn't pry into Bill Clinton's personal life were probably Democrats, who had protectionist feelings toward their president.

Most of the people who said that we should pry into the life of "Slick Willie" were Republicans, who were hoping to have him removed from the presidency (or at least thoroughly discredited), and use him as an example for what kind of people liberals are. Of course, there are people like Clinton on both sides of the aisle. I'm an independent voter, and will defend neither party.

TL;DR - Political motivation and/or a sense of moral justice.

@stan_boyd @DaRq_MiNoS As long as they are baggy turtlenecks with amusing gaming references on them, I'm down. I wonder if companies send her the gamer shirts for free. They should.

Major Nelson said the Xbox One friends list is actually unlimited.

See his interview for proof. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RtSGFryKwo#t=2m26s

@The_Mystery_Box @HipHopBeats Microsoft said they will have ways to filter out all those false reports. See Major Nelson's Blog page. They are aware that 12yrs old will be reporting false negative reports when they constantly get beat. This is why this new system is being put in place.

@blackace @The_Mystery_Box @HipHopBeats Yeh MS is matching me to my demographic. They only need to know how old I am, how much I earn, if I'm married, if I have kids and they will check the colour of my hair, eyes and member size trough the camera to match me up. Thank you so much MS.

Her information is wrong. Sony said there was half a gig of flexible memory, not a full gig. And they never confirmed how much the OS uses. Just sayin'

@DaRq_MiNoS your information is wrong as well because we have no definitive numbers... just saying.

@leviathanwing @DaRq_MiNoS Sony made an announcement when this rumor came out, in which they stated that there is 512mb of flexible RAM. They would not state how much RAM the OS uses though. This is fact.

@penpusher It depends. Do you not care even though you are getting one or because you never intended to get one in the first place?

@rawkstar007 @penpusher I just don't care. I do intend to get one at some point, though not at launch because I can't afford either console by that point, but I will at some point. I'm just not that bothered about it's ram because what ever amount it finally turns out to have it's going to have plenty of it, as is the xbox one. I don't understand why so many people are getting their knickers in a knot over this.
