I remember I was so pumped to get a power glove as a kid especially after seeing "The Wizard" movie, and it turned out to be soooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad.

Well, Lucas wasn't lying. It is "so bad."

I had a MAX, but I greatly preferred the NES Advantage. Despite looking like an analog controller, the sliding button just hit the same four directional buttons as a regular pad, and it actually took more thumb effort to use. I found it actually got painful after extended use.

[Craig]

I had some mind of thing that attached around the controller like a phone case to make the direction pad almost like the dirextion pad on an xbox controller. It was pointless.

My wife has discovered Assassin's Creed Syndicate and has proceeded to hog the tv.

Yeah, I have both and always preferred the NES Advantage.

Yeah, but that's a good problem to have. It would be medically ill-advised for Mrs Tif to hate video games more than she does, and the disdain is palpable those couple times a year I get immersed in a new AAA title.

I bought a xim4 just so I can use mouse and keyboard when playing games like halo.


I went 32-6 in war zone lol

But how many mothers did you insult and people you call gay?

[dodint]

All of them. Duh.

[eddy]

I'm probably the only one one here, but we got pokken tournament for my son as a surprise after his surgery and it's a lot of fun. I'm destroying with lucario.

Also played some division game for Xbox one over the weekend and I was terrible. Mortal kombat x or xl or something was radical, kids thought it was hilarious, I said don't tell your mother.

[Algernon]

All of them. Duh.

Exactly. Anything worth doing is worth doing to its fullest.

Rocket League developers have Xbox and PS4 cross platform working in-house, waiting for the politics and legal shenanigans to work out to get cross platform play to the masses: http://www.engadget.com/2016/03/22/psyo ... um=twitter

Has Xbox given a timeframe for allowing cross-network play? I want to say it was 4th quarter 2016 but I may be completely making that up.

It's badly needed right now for Rocket League. The Solo Standard mode had about 300 players last night.

[DigitalGypsy66]

No timetable, but it is working behind the scenes. I think the holdup is Sony - what do they have to gain from allowing Xbox players to play with PS4 users? Not a damn thing, unfortunately.

[nocera]

Sony has always been open to it. Now all they need to do is backup what they've already said. It's easy to say you'll do it when you think Microsoft won't ever have it.

[Morkle]

Sony was open to it during the PS3 days, Xbox was the one that has never wanted to play nice.

Automatron DLC touched down for Fallout 4 today. Reviews look excellent thus far.

Nintendo plans to discontinue the WiiU in 2016. Won't launch new system until next year most likely.

[Craig]

Why cant they just get out of the console business and develop 3rd party?

[nocera]

So 4 years? Yikes, Nintendo. That's Sega-level bad.

*edit*
Actually, I guess 4-6 years was the norm for console generation cycles until last gen.

Normally I'd agree....but I just started a Skyrim DiD competition on Saturday. So far I've got a whopping 3 hours in.

NHL 16 is coming to EA Access Vault on March 29th. For some reason I thought it was already there.

If your frustration and stress levels feel far too low, consider playing NHL 16.
