Next XBOX and its controller are covered in zebra stripes. Privacy ++

It's Durango or some shit.

Game developers are rubbing their grubby paws all over the new Xbox and its controller. That’s pretty swell. What is even more swell is an idea that Microsoft has seemingly cooked up to prevent leaks. They have slathered all this new fetish plastic in zebra stripes, using it as a means to identify the specific controller that is leaked. Or some shit.

Leak reinforces idea that NEW XBOX will be always-connected. Bleh.

Rumor!

Last time I posted about the possibility that the new Xbox will be always-on, more than one person pointed out what a dangerous roll of the dice this would be. You know, always-on games and always-on consoles are two beasts. How many people would Microsoft lose out on, from this policy alone? And what would the risks be? Look at the fucking SimCity debacle. So I was convinced that it probably wasn’t going to happen. Now? Now I am not so sure.

Microsoft probably revealing NEW XBOX at an event in April. Retaliation ++

Steve Ballmer is ready.

Sony has been the belle of the ball for the past couple of days, after revealing their PS4. Sure, a lot of the conversation around them is in regards to their lack of a console and all the such. Even with that, Microsoft has to be feeling a bit anxious to launch their own salvo. It word be true, that salvo shall be hitting in April.

Report: New XBOX requires INTERNET CONNECTION, has one-time game activation codes. Plus specs!

Steve Ballmer is ready.

Oh! Check it out! The new Xbox is going to be totally fascist, requiring the internet connections, and fucking the used game market in the skull.

Rumor: These are the NEXT XBOX specs. Maybe. Hell if I know.

Steve Ballmer is ready.

Yo! Any tech-wizards care to explain these specs to me? They mean almost nothing. In the sense that I know they mean “things”, but I cannot tell you what those “things” translate to.

Bloomberg says next Xbox is arriving for 2013 holidays. My body is ready!

As much as I like my bank account to bathe in its own minuscule juices, I like new gaming consoles even more. So I’m more than ready to embrace the Xbox-Kinect Excelsior-720-AR wunderkind. I have been ready for awhile. If this report is to be believed, I’ve got myself another year to wait. Whatever. What is another year. That’s like 400 days, or something. 3,000 masturbation sessions, or something. I can handle this.

You can buy an “XBOX ‘DURANGO’ DEVELOPMENT KIT” on eBay. Uh, you do it.

There’s totally an Xbox “Durango” development kid on eBay. It totally has to be real, legit, and quantifiable. That said, how about you go and buy it, and let me know how gnarly it turns out to be. I’ll bring the popcorn and we can program Dong Wars xx69. You just need to front the overhead.

Press Start: Homebrew & Homo-eroticism

Friends, I have undergone massive, personal changes this week. I decided to finally turn my back on the dark arts and have since ceased to be a necromancer, instead choosing to focus my powers on the noble art of aquamancy.  It was a huge change for me and my family and we are slowly learning to live our lives without summoning hordes of the undead to do our bidding. It’s tough. On the plus side though: you need some water conjured? Bam, I’m there.

Obviously, there is more to my life than sorcery: video games, for example. Here’s what happened in them this week.

Next Xbox Is Code-Named Durango. Cue Easy Jokes.

The Next Xbox is getting itself a code-name, which means the son of a bitch is coming along. Processors installed and uh, such and stuff. It’s got itself a code named and well…it’s definitely better  than Project Dolphin. I know, not saying much.
