I'm sorry...I thought it was my opinion that counted in my ratings. But from now on ill ask you before I rate game on how good I think it is and how much I enjoy playing it and if I got my money's worth from it. Since you gave halo a 9 I can see how this would be an affront to you. And I don't get how that effects my response to anything related to kinect. I also gave siphon filter on psp a 9.1....that must means the ps4 is terrible!!

@jflkdjs @Hurricane66 Hey, I made a petition. Please take the time to read through it, and if you would like please share it with whoever you know that would like to sign it. Thank you very much.


Goal: Help establish a mod-market for console games.


In an effort to form a more perfect market for both the producer and consumer, we the people hear by stand against the liquidity trap that holds our dollar hostage. We wish to incite the reclamation of our beloved culture as the forerunners to the Magnum Opus out of this oversaturated market. With us we bring hope to the crass atmosphere that envelope the developers of our fine culture and heritage. No longer will they be cut out; with your help no longer will they be lost in their proclivity. With their profit margins widened we stand. With 3rd party retailers we wage fiscal warfare. We need, and you want, a market where your developers get the funding they want and need. With such reclamation we need a leader. We ask you to bring back what was once sublime, and give us a market that we supply. Our creativity will guide us. Using the debug kits found in your new console, mods beget profits, but no one will invest. End this liquidity trap. Offer developers the security they need to support mods, make sure developers get a piece of used game sales at 3rd party retailing outlets, and we the gamers will see your coffers filled. We ask only that our skilled youth have their go, just as they will in the self-published indie game’s market.

@Hurricane66 One of the reasons for the sphere on top of the move controller is to protect the person and also your HD TV screen. My cousin's got 4 stitches in the head from her brother hitting her accidently with the WII remote and later on that summer the strap on the WII remote broke and it smashed their TV screen.

What is going to happen with kinect that can't already happen with the cell phone in your pocket or the computer in your home? Please enlighten me? If ms wants to spy on me drinking beer and playing halo in my underwear, let em. This is just one more thing that Sony fanboys have latched onto to detract from MS. If you don't want a super cool piece of hardware that can make your system and tv do whatever you want with a verbal command and a flick of the wrist then stick with your funky jv light saber move controller with the glowing ping pong ball.

Don't pay any mind to some of these vulgar idiots commenting about you, Jess. You know the kind I'm talking about. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

Hell, most of them are likely the CoD fans you are referring to!

@Johny_47 @innocent69 Have you actually seen her play? I literally know 12 year olds that are better. "Adventure game aficionado" what does that mean? She can fudge her way through basic games that take most of us a matter of hours to do? She's no 'gamer' she merely plays games.

@gohan661

It's different gaming at home with not a care in the world.

When on live stream she has to read the chat, think of what she looks like, what she says and be entertaining and witty.

Now I've never tried that myself but I know I always underperform if there's even one person looking at how I'm playing. I can't imagine how it is when there's hundreds of people and you know the video will stay on the web forever and be commented on.

I think she's doing a great job of handling it all.

Now this here is news reporting. I fail to see how it's relevant how good she is at playing. She only needs to be good at reporting for this job.

The fact is that she is playing through plenty of games on her spare time and is indeed a gamer. Whether she is a good gamer or bad gamer is unknown. I don't know and neither do you. Insufficient Data.

@gohan661 @rawkstar007 @Johny_47 @innocent69 So in order for a person to deliver the daily gaming news, not only must they have a passion for said gaming, they must also be GODLIKE being a keyboard or controller?

There are an infinite number of contradictions to that kind of thinking. For example, in order for a news anchor to report on any form of political leadership, must they have served in some sort of political arena themselves? More to the point, must they have been AMAZING in their leadership role?

Let's stop the nonsense.

@rawkstar007 @gohan661 @Johny_47 @innocent69 How is what I said a put down? I merely state the truth. This person who gives us the news everyday is worse at gaming than probably 80% of her audience. I find that unacceptable for someone in her position. Am I forced to watch it? no but I do on the off chance they report on something InsideGamingDaily missed

@wcwj26 Oh that's just brilliant logic. Rather than condemning someone for insulting a person for no good reason, let's go after those who would muster SOME form of decency because they are never gonna meet this "bird" anyways.

@Hurricane66 @innocent69 Of course, because they want to get paid over & over for their work. They need to wrestle with the Pubs, since devs wouldn't get more if used games stopped this second, unless approved by daddy.

@VBVCSHARP @lovejess1 Your superficiality is showing. Like I care if you find her attractive. How about did she do a good job? I know it is a stretch for someone who's only pre-occupation is which women do not want to have sex with them. I will save you time, none.

@Ba8e oh I thought it was an accent. Any other superficial human traits you want to "mock? How about race, sex, sexuality, religion, hair color (colour), left handed-ness, preference for chicken, beef, or vegan...?

@VBVCSHARP @lovejess1 I'm going to try to find the middle ground here, and say that she is one attractive lass. To the point where, when she said about contacting directly via twitter, I considered signing up for Twitter. :)
