    Well, I...

    Just realized that I spent most of my food money on overpriced concert beer and barbeque ribs.

    Looks like I'll be living on hot dogs and ramen for the rest of the month!

    This weekend, I stopped my roommate from putting the moves on a girl who was drunk out of her mind and my fish died. I also cried about being single and lonely and none of my friends want to hang out. I have a twelve page research paper due Wednesday that I haven't started.

    You guys win, I guess.

    So, for coursework, I had to create an original game. I created an original game about pirates, but when I checked stuff up on the internet, I found out I had created Assassin's Creed Black Flag.

    It's past 12am, and it's in tomorrow. Help.

    I swear every year the first major snowfall is the same. It always sneaks up on us during the night. When I went to sleep it was all green grass outside. Woke up to this:

    Glad I got all my shopping done last night. I ain't goin' nowhere today.

    And the people who created Black Flag just ripped off a dozen other pirate games.

    What's the big deal? You did the assignment, didn't you?

    Why should it matter if something similar had been done before?

    Hell, look at all the GTA clones on the market today.

    And the games that started out as GTA clones, but then decided to do their own thing that was so immeasurably silly that they became a distinct and standalone series. Yeah, Saints Row is entirely silly.

    I've never seen or played a PS4, but there's no way it could be nearly as bad as the Xbox One. Had it not been for my fond memories of the Halo series, I would have not bought this dump console. The 360 was superior in every way. Seriously, are the makers responsible for this abomination on drugs?

    /Rant.... for now.

    They were trying so hard to corner the "family" market (which has always belonged to Nintendo) that they ignored the "gamer" market.

    They shot themselves in the foot when they revealed the console, and they won't stop firing.

    With Hollow Point rounds...

    Honestly, Xbox should have died right there and then. Had it not been for those changes to the Xbone after their apparent near-death experience, sales would have been immensely lower then the Wii U's and Microsofts reputation on the market would have been completely ruined. Halo was the reason that the original Xbox survived in the first place.

    Meanwhile, Wii U on the other hand has been going up the steep ladder with no other way except up. I mean, look at its future lineup.

    I've decided to take a break a break from the console wars to play PC games.

    This decision has absolutely nothing to do with my inability to afford a current-gen game console.*

    My gaming these days mostly consists of:

    1. I am too busy



    Heck, right now I'm about to go back to writing a twelve page essay for class, which wouldn't be so hard if I didn't a) hate writing essays and b) write the first half so dang well that i have no idea what to say in the second half.

    Just repeat everything you wrote in the first half, but in a different way.
    You could also use second half of the paper to restate the points made in the first half.

    Has the Xbone done something particularly bad recently to cause this conversation, or is it just the general suckiness that I predicted?

    Whatever happened to putting a game in a gaming console and playing it?
