i hate when you voluntarily tell your parents some information about your life because you think you can trust them and then they bitch at you for it like congrats you have guaranteed that i will never tell you anything ever again 

i always think that all of the sonic characters are SO POPULAR in their world, they have fanclubs, fangirls and stuff. that makes me happy.

Alright, if you’re a consumer and you’re considering picking up the new Xbox One console, then please, take a moment to listen to me. Before we begin, no, I am not a fanboy or a hater. I have no console Bias. I have a PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, and a Gaming PC. Each has their pros and cons but now onto business.

DO NOT BUY AN XBOX ONE. Why? See the reasons below:

Xbox Requires an internet connection. Here’s how it works: Every 24 hours your Xbox will try to connect to Microsoft’s servers for verification. If it is unable to connect, sucks to be you. You’re blocked from playing even single player games until it can connect.

Do you like renting games, lending them to a friend, or even borrowing them from a friend? No longer possible. Every Xbox One game you get must be registered to your Xbox live account to be played. After that point it will only work for you. No one else can use it unless they pay a fee. Essentially it works like this. You pick up a used Xbox One game from somewhere or someone, pop it into your console. The system verifies it’s been registered to your account. Uh-oh, it isn’t! In order to play it, you have to pay Microsoft a fee, which is currently slated to be full retail price. Doesn’t matter how scratched up it is or how cheap you got it at gamestop or from a friend. You aren’t just buying the physical copies anymore. You’re paying Microsoft for a LICENSE to be allowed to play that game.

It is worth mentioning Microsoft is exploring ways for you to trade in and resell your used games. This is rumored to mean that you can sell your digital license to play the game (registration) back to microsoft, likely for microsoft points. You can then trade in the game at gamespot for some cash if you like. Either way, as it currently stands, the new owner would still have to pay a fee on top of the price of actually buying the physical copy.

Is it worth mentioning that Microsoft if shafting Indie Developers as well? Where as on Playstation Network or (whatever the Wii has) Indie Developers can self publish their content easily. Playstation even encourages this. Microsoft however forces these Indie Devs to enter publishing deals with them to be allowed to market their content. You don’t go through them, you don’t get to sell what you developed.

I’m not quite done yet! Now, I’m sure you heard a lot about “TV TV TV TV SPORTS TV TV SPORTS SPORTS TV.” Yes, the Xbox is slated to be able to stream live tv, live sports, etc. So let me ask you this. You obviously already have something like cable or DirecTV. Do you really want to shell out hundreds of dollars more and pay a monthly subscription fee to have another television provider? Yes, I said hundreds of dollars, and I don’t mean the cost of the console. To view live TV from the Xbox you are required to purchase ANOTHER separate device for it to work. Why would you even consider shelling out more money for something you already have anyway? Even if you didn’t, DirecTV is cheaper. Or you could even subscribe you Hulu.com and watch live tv on your computer. FOR MUCH CHEAPER. You essentially have to buy another cable box if you don’t have one. And if you do… what do you need the Xbox One for?

So far we’ve discovered that the Xbox One is not really a gaming console, at least… not a consumer friendly gaming console. It’s being marketed as an all-in-one home entertainment system. Something to replace all of the other devices in your house. But there are drawbacks even to that. Put on your tin foil hats for this part folks. Take from it what you will, all I’ll say is… possibilities…

The Xbox One’s features will not function unless the Kinect is plugged in and active. This is not an optional piece anymore.

Source: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/21/xbox-one-will-not-function-without-kinect-attached

So imagine your Kinect piece breaks? Tough luck, no more Xbox for you. But you know what’s worse?

Pay attention, because this is important. The Kinect is always watching. Always listening. Even when the system is off.

Yes. One of the ways to turn the system on is to audibly say: “Xbox On” while the system is off. The Kinect, which is always on, hears you and turns it on. Now this might seem like a cool feature, but did you know Microsoft patented a feature that would allow the Kinect’s camera (It’s no longer just a sensor, but a camera) to spy on you for the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America?) While they may not actually do this, it is actually possible for them to do this now. It has a camera, and a microphone. The Kinect is always on. It is ALWAYS listening, ALWAYS watching.

An idea has been tossed around that by using this feature, it will allows game developers and movie produces to set a limited amount of how many people can be allowed to view the entertainment. So as a hypothetical example, you and three friends are watching a movie, which is the maximum allowed. A fourth friend enters the room and the Kinect’s sensor registers the fourth individual. The movie stops and you a prompted to pay a fee so that the extra individual may also view the film. Again, that is NOT currently the case, but these are the ideas currently being tossed around with the system’s current capabilities.

Now, just two more things and I’ll be done here!

This isn’t really a good or bad thing, but it’s annoying. It also explains how they can prevent you from playing a used game if you didn’t pay their fee. Xbox one no longer plays games off the discs, you HAVE to install them to the hard-drive in order to play them. I believe PS3 also has you do this (on a number of games but not always it seems), except that PS3 isn’t trying to Nickle and Dime you at every corner. It also seems according to this article there is something related to the Online portion at the beginning of this post. The option is there for Developers to require the Xbox to always be online to play their particular game. Well, it seems PC gamers and console gamers have one thing in common now… DRM.

(At least pirates on PC can bypass DRM easily. Not an option for Consoles.)

And last but not least, another annoyance… Xbox One will not be compatible with any and all current headsets. Nope, companies will either have to make new headsets altogether specifically for the Xbox One, and they have to adhere to what Microsoft wants. Look forward to price gouging.

Source: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/22/xbox-one-incompatible-with-current-gaming-headsets

Oh, one more thing… If you have an Xbox 360, don’t get rid of it. Why? Well if you want to keep playing your old 360 games you’ll need it. The Xbox One isn’t backwards compatible. At all. Not only that, but President of Microsoft’s Xbox Division Don Mattrick insults the very notion of backwards compatibility! He calls it: “Backwards thinking.”

Source of insult: http://www.polygon.com/2013/5/22/4355984/xbox-one-backward-compatibility-backwards-thinking-don-mattrick


That is all I have to say currently folks, and I hope you took the time to read this far. I’ll conclude with the following… please… PLEASE do not buy this console. Paying for this supports greedy and anti-consumer business practices. Speak with your wallet, and pass up the Xbox One. No matter what games it might have that you want, even if they are exclusive. Do the right thing and make a statement. Refuse to be nickle and dimed like this. Refuse to be seen as a mindless consumer who will buy anything tossed to them.

We won’t know much else until after E3, but as it stands now, the PS4 or a decent gaming PC is the best way to go.

If you are willing to do so, please spread this post around. Liking is not even remotely necessary, but do please share it if you agree with and acknowledge what you’ve read here. The more people know, the fewer of them waste their money.

Thank you, kindly.

(Originally posted on Facebook by one of my friends. He brings up many valid points. Mind you, I haven’t been a fan of Xbox in a long time and I will most likely get a PS4. But this confirms further for me that I won’t be getting an Xbox one any time in the foreseeable future.) 

TL;DR —The XBOX One is going to be a piece of shit and you really shouldn’t even remotely think about getting one.

idk about u guys but in the credits of sonic generations (and final scene) i got really emotional, specially when sonic says goodbye to classic sonic and then he says something like he’s gonna have a great future and at the end of the credits the audience screams HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONIIIIC

Please support Whitney as she battles stage 4 Breast Cancer.

Where to start?

My best friend recently found out she has stage 4 breast cancer. Last month she got a double mastectomy and pretty soon here she will be loosing the hair that goes all the way down to her butt. She’s incredibly strong though, the strongest person I know, so I know she will overcome it. However, the price tag on fighting for your life is more than she, or any of us make. Even with insurance. And just this fall she and her boyfriend signed the papers on a new house after she got a much deserved new job. So its not easy. She’s paying out of pocket for a lot too. Shes already getting calls from collectors as if dealing with cancer wasn’t enough.

I met Whitney when I worked at a crummy diner as a waitress. She was my manager and pretty quickly we became close friends. Shes on of those friends who listens to you genuinely, shes kind, shes giving and shes incredibly thoughtful. She’s always thinking of others and always doing things for others, going above and beyond what any normal person would do. I used to stay late at work just to hang out with her or come in on my days off just to talk. We lost our jobs together too when the restaurant we worked at shut down without notice. Then she threw a party for all of us to celebrate..because thats the kind of person she is. She even saved some of our name tags and keepsake type items and gave them to us.

Losing a job on the spot wasnt as big of a deal for me at the time because I was young and had a spouse and didnt have a kid or anything. She on the other hand was living on her own taking care of her two beautiful children. She has a daughter and a son. Her son is a brilliant 13 year old. He has autism but he doesnt let that hold him back. Hes a talented musician who sings and plays multiple instruments and records and mixes his own music! Her daughter is a few years younger and is so spunky and vivacious and totally her own person, she wants to do roller derby some day. She lives for those kids, shes always doing projects for them and worked extra hours so that she could get her son into a school that could give him the help he needs as an autistic kid so he could flourish. 

Thankfully she got a new job as a restaurant manager and a promotion, it came with a lot of work though. But she was able to get her own home and move her boyfriend in. Its beautiful and she deserves it after all she has been through and all she has done for others. You can see in each room of the house the love and care she has put into her family and how hard she works for them. She sacrifices so much and doesnt ask for anything in return.

Even through all of her surgeries and radiation and everything, shes still taking time to do things for others and its just amazing.

Shes a total badass and I respect her so much. Shes a big wonder woman fan, but frankly I think shes wonder woman herself. I dont know anyone who is as kickass as her while still being the most thoughtful friend and amazing mother. Words cannot describe the wonder that is Whitney. Its true what they say about bad thigns happening to good people because I couldnt think of a better person.

I could go on and on attempting to describe what makes her amazing and why she is worth the money but I have to stop at some point. The point is, shes amazing, and she has an amazing family and what she is going through is sooo incredibly hard and shes getting collector phone calls already and having a hard time making copays. Cancer is hard enough as it is, help make it a little easier on her by helping her make her medical bills.

heres a picture of her with my son at her farewell party to her boobs. 

PLEASE PASS THIS AROUND. Share it on fb or whatever. I really appreciate it.

PLEASE she just found out today that the cancer has spread to her spine and is going to require additional radiation

at least reblog it…
