Microsoft is doing some interesting things for casual gamers - like if you buy a controller you can play a few basic games via subscription and cancel after however many months you choose. It might not appeal to you or me but it changes the way that casual people can play games. Plus, no need to worry about which console to buy or what TV cabinet to store it in. Just play. I think that's a cool new development from Microsoft. That's what I expect from a technology company, for them to try new things.

    For me, I'd say any kind of survival-simulation game or any sort of card game. Lots of choices to be made and not all of them are good in the end.

    This doesn't apply to a relationship if one person in the relationship is working, the other unemployed.

    It also doesn't apply to relationships where the couple has no children.

    If you live alone, you also don't get the payment.

    It's better than having to open Edge Browser and use websites that are infested with advertising. Seriously, having ai answer questions about a game, while in the game, is going to replace search for some of us. I'd definitely use it rather than a browser or having to switch to my pathetic android phone. Most modern games are complicated and the player needs the browser open all the time to get tips and little pieces of info.

    It's going to get very expensive. Funny how people are just learning that today on day 8 or 9.

    I knew in 2010 that Iran would do something like this because I followed news and I read books.

    Killing a religious leader is an extremely bad idea. I hope that Iran will eventually launch attacks inside the U.S. and launch drones against U.S. bases in San Diego.

    I'd like to hear from someone who's played Phantom Fury on Xbox. Are there annoying bugs or crashes?

    I notice they just updated Ion Fury but it seems that it doesn't remember my controller settings so it drives me mad. I don't have any faith in the companies behind this. They took 4 years to release The Aftershock DLC on console and that's just not good enough. We also never got the final patch for Ion Fury, the one that let's you charge up the crossbow and then release it again without wasting the ammo. You can put it away without firing it. Maybe the last patch added that I'm not sure.

    There was another bug where enemies never made the noise they make when they spot you. That was fixed on PC 4 years ago but I'm unsure if it's been added to console.
