tetradite Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Yep, in Microsoft's case, as perverse as it may sound they have a vested interest in destroying PC gaming: At the minute, probably 90%+ of people you know own a PC of some kind, and the majority of them (unless you know a lot of Apple hipsters or Linux beards) will have paid for a copy of Windows, probably also a copy of Office. This is profitable for Microsoft. A lot of people also own a console. Many of them will be an Xbox. If Microsoft allow a level playing field between PC and Xbox then there is less reason to buy an Xbox in the first place: it gets closer to the point where you might as well just spend what you would have spent on the new Xbone adding to your PC budget for the next time you replace or upgrade it (especially when you consider the price of an Xbone is about the same as a very high end GPU). Microsoft make nada from that extra PC spend. If you game on a PC, Microsoft only make money on your OS and their own game sales. If you game on an Xbone, unless you either don't get a PC at all or go Apple/Linux then Microsoft makes money on your OS, their game sales, the Xbone itself AND Xbone Live subscriptions. They know that your Xbone is NOT going to replace your PC, and they know that your PC COULD replace your Xbone. If they allow a level playing field they screw themselves, so they will continue to advantage the Xbone any way they can. Why sell you one thing that can do both jobs when they can sell you two that both do similar things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor. Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I'm posting this rp, anyones interested please sign up at the role play section of the lounge. thanks to the community game i had inspiration for a full rp. :teehee: Dale is your average Dragonborn as he does average things that dragonborns do, kill dragons and stuff. Characters Dale Crog Dragonborn age 32 race Nord Male Companion Wolfy age 8: race weredog, but everyone who see's him think at first he's a werewolf, but as soon as they realise that he isn't, thats when Wolfy says i get get that a lot, because he's used to the confusing. WereDogs are accepted in society because of there loyalty to humans, but at one time he was human just like you and I. Sometimes he looks back at the days when he transformed for the first time. Wolfy itemsThings and clothing: Wolfy nicknacks and weaponry Coller: labeled Zorg ??? Daggers of Obedience: powers Rage slice and Rabies personal powers Death by fire, sharp razor claw attack-sparking sharp claws.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dale Crog the DragonBorn item armor and weaponry Sword of Singing jerk.. The sword is a moron and it mouth off as the name says it all. Sometimes he feels like throwing It off of a bridge, but the powers are too great to pass off, no matter the insults.Fireball damage 120 hit points, Ice 50, Soul drap, health drain. Each hit the sword feels the pain of the blow. :blink: Armor custom fit ebony armour. Dragonbone armour is too expensive at the moment, not enough scales. Plus they are too heavy, needs a backpack. special items beer, Amulet of craftsmanship oh and Beer. ---------- Places of interest. Foot and tale Inn Caverns of Sniff Legs up Armory Two Faced Lake Howling Mill Hanging Toe George Shop of Despair Long Foot Mountain-----------------------------------Prologue for reference A dragon Appears out of nowhere as Wolfy and Dale scramble for cover, as the dragon flies overhead as the ground shakes. No no no i don't want to fight the Sword wines as dale Says in angry voice shut upppp!!, dale unsheathes the Sword of Jerk in a waving stance as the Dragon charges him at great speed. AHHH!! as the sword screams, make it stop ass wipe. The Dragon looks at Dale as if he is saying the insults. The dragon suddenly goes into a great rage as the dragon thinks that was directed at him. As the fight continues to intensify Wolfy takes out his Dagger of obedience and jumps out as he growls and slices the Dragons neck, also gave the Dragon rabies in the process. The Dragon lands with great force as it bleeds out, Dale looks in amazement as wolfy brags and mocks at the dragon and the sowrd of jerk, as Dale absorbs the Dragon Soul. Wolfy hates the Sword of jerk for good reason, the two don't get along to well thats for sure, to many werewolf insults. Who wouldn't is the question, its cursed and who ever comes in contact has to deal with the insults. To many swordsman had died do to the blade of jerk. Continuing onwards with the prologue Dale searches the Dragon for scales, suddenly he looks in amazement, look at those scales, i haven't seen anything like it, looks heavy. Dale sticks some inside his Werewolf laced backpack for added padding. Dale thinks to himself now i have enough for Dragonbone armor as he realizes in excitement. Suddenly something odd happens, he transforms into a sock, what the as he molds into a white sports sock of Dragonscare. How on earth, what happened to me as he tries to express himself but can't, the sword also laughs madly as its become molded with him. He can't unsheathe or use it or see it, but he can sure hear it. What is a Dragonborn going to do, also his sanity has taken a tole sense he is stuck with the Sword Of Jerk. Will he be cured, will he ever get over the curse of DragonScare: the curse of sport sock. Something special must be in those scales, the backpack is also invisible and can't be removed from his Inventory, same with the scales. Quest related. :teehee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetradite Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 *stamps foot in frustration* but that's sooooo not fair :armscrossed: I can offer you no kittens by way of compensation, but here's my little man Shenanigans, he always cheers me up (he's always happy because he has two penises. Well, technically it's one split in two but they can be used independently which is basically the same as having two): http://i39.tinypic.com/apab2b.jpg And with that, goodnight.
