MS SAVES! MS SAVES!

We (gamers) did it! The revolution is successful!

No, we the gamers saved MS. I will still probably get both systems though, have not played on a playstation in such a long ass time that it is not funny. Seems I still need to get another playstation.

What have you done?! The advancement of the future, the ability to share games with up to ten friends without charge, all gone! I could have ruled the world with my XBOX ONE, blah blah blashjgaslgnas;olndfasdl *in case you haven't realized already, this is a joke.*

Congratulations on this guys, like I said before, the old limitations wouldn't have bothered me so much, but I'm glad they will no longer bother you either. However, I hope they keep the sharing the digital version of the game with up to ten people, otherwise I might have to kill every... last... insurgent.    *This, however, is not a joke*

The fate of sharing digital games has been unannounced.

But why share digitally with ten friends when you can share physically with unlimited friends?

Anyways let this be a lesson. The masses will not tolerate the facist capitalist scum oppressing our right to game freely!

Because all of my online buddies don't live right next door to me. For example, New England and Canada may be a stone throw away from each other, but I sure as hell ain't driving to whatever providence you live in to hand you my copy of Dead Rising 3.

This would allow me to take, say, Bad John, Vale *Kruger*, Melee *friend of John and I's*, and seven other people, of which you could be one, and share games, for free, mind you, and be happy.

And before you ask, sadly the only people I know that play Xbox locally have no want to play online, that, and they're moving this fall, so... yeah.

Good point. I don't see why they'd take it away, unless it's to annoy gamers... Which I doubt the large majority will care... No offence.

On another note... Does anyone know how many players can play Fable III together? In online co-op that is.

It's still unnannounced, but considering they removed the 100% DLC with DRM function, I'm gonna say it's safe to assume I'm not going to be able to share games with 10 people -_- glorious.

Also, you can only play with two people, boyo.

I told you Microsoft would change it, did I not?

Yes that is a joke Shad0wChas3r, yes it is a joke, we can tell it is one XD

Fuckin' hell. What happened here?

Sadly, the discussion of the xbox one. Which has axed all of it's previously announced plans, including the all important 100% DLC and full DRM functionality  .

Heard about that a few days ago from Kotaku.

I think it's a step in the right direction. To be honest, I wanted it to come out with the DRM, just to see it fail. That would have taught Microsoft a real lesson. 

But at least the DRM is gone.

100% DLC?

Also, what in the world does DRM stand for?

Don't know. Don't care.

All I know is that it is evil with it's required 24/7 internet connection. 

Nice try Nazisoft. Nice try.

But we figured out your game faster than the Germans figured out Hitler's game.

Digital Rights Management. Measures in place that ensure you didn't pirate digital content, like punching in confirmation codes, Daily Check Ins, or Always Online shit.

The kind of stuff that ruined the new SIMs game, really. Microsoft, to make sure we the consumers were playing fair, wanted to put DRM measures in place. It squeezes us for cash in some places, makes sure we're not stealing, and if their servers go down, we suffer the consequences.

It treats regular consumers like criminals, stamping our fucking wrists whenever we want to use our PROPERTY.

Consumer rights get shit on, and Microsoft laughs all the way to the bank.

Well, to be fair, it keeps people from taking advantage of them as much.

Well guys, as of a few hours ago, I am a High School Graduate. Gonna have to go job hunting here soon, but in the mean while I figure I'll spend my free time on here.

Congrats. I just did that two weeks ago. Feelsgoodman.

Amen, brother, amen.

Gonna miss a lot of my friends though, going out into the big scary world, might not see them again for, gosh, twenty or more years.

I've been feeling the same way. A lot of decisions I need to make about the future.

I'm shitting my pants over here. One exam left to do...

But the ONE exam I NEEDED to do well on I think I did so so.

I need a 75 in Calculus to maintain my offer of admission. I had a 78 going in. The lowest mark I'm allowed to get on that exam is a 68 to finish with a 75.

I'm so scared because I think I got within the low 70's range but I'm not sure. The only good thing is I have one last calculus test that I missed during the semester, and I get to write it on Monday. If I ace that, it might add anywhere from 1 to 4 percent to my mark.

AND I have to study for my chem exam Monday. This BLOWS.

I really don't want to go to summer school.... Guys, I'm scared.
What's summer school like?

I should also mention that my parents are foreign so... Summer school is not the most glorious thing in their eyes.

Never been there, but my brother *based Darryl off of this one*, says it's like mutant zombies shambling around while their Alpha *the teacher* sits on his lazy ass, mowing down on the brains of the smart kids that were wrongfully placed in Summer School.

In other words, you'll probably just be bored outta your freaking mind for a few weeks out of the summer. But I have faith in you, Manuel.

So... does anyone here have ANY experience being a salesman? And not the door to door or telemarketing kind.

I applied online for a job, and I am going to an interview tomorrow. The company checks out as a respectable company from 'Murica with a branch in Canada, so no it's not some shady job posting.

The job description will be explained more in depth when I get to the interview but what I got from the website is that they sell cutlery, knives specifically ...

Anyways, I figure that some pointers and what not would be handy to have. No experience is required for this job because that they train their employees "in house". I just need to get past the first and second interviews.

But I figure having something is better than nothing. In my area, college/university kids make up like a quarter of the population here so that always puts them in fierce competition with high school kids for jobs in retail and what not.

And then the cooler jobs that actually accept teenagers, like this one, usually get gobbled up. I'm lucky I applied when I did.

So any tips?

...Vecter Industries, Cutco? >_>
