Forums - Gaming Discussion - Go ahead and call me stupid but I JUST realized why the new Xbox is code named "Scorpio"

FattyDingDong on 28 April 2017

Scorpio is the eighth astrological sign in the Zodiac. It spans the 210–240th degree of the zodiac, between 207.25 and 234.75 degree of celestial longitude.
More importantly, the time period is between Oct 23 - Nov 21.     And it's probably safe to assume that the new Xbox is going to be released around that time. Hence why Microsoft decided to call it Project "Scorpio".

Did you know this ?  Or just realized it like me.



I trust no one, not even myself.

That actually makes sense..... *if* they knew all along how long it would take to make, and when it would launch.

I dont think you start projects knowing the exact dates, and then name the projects after when you expect them to be ready.

I just assumed that Phil Spencer hopes to one day become a Bond villain.

That's genius m8 but difficult to confirm unless MS themselves reveal the meaning of Scorpio codename. I certainly have never seen this explanation in any Scorpio threads/talks.



I cannot imagine toilet-free life.

Kebabs have a unique attribute compared to other consumables. To unlock this effect you need to wolf down a big ass kebab really fast, like under 10 minutes or so and wait for the effect to kick in. If done correctly your movements should feel unbelievably heavy to the point where you literally cannot move at all.
