I have a friend with which we grew up together and then I moved from the city we grew up in to live in Quebec City then to Montreal. Both our lives took different paths, I went to school and he got children and didn't do much for his professionnal life so he lived on welfare for almost 15 years. Then at 32 I went back to university to pursue my career as a designer and while doing so I kept on encouraging him to do something with his life at least for his kids but he was affraid of leaving his kids alone (his wife was studying at that time). He had his worst yea ever because he lost both his parents that year. It was hard on him but still it was some kind of wake up call. He barely knew his father but when he died he left him a heritage and so did his mother. He decided to use the money to go back to school, trying to get his class 5 driving license so he could be a bus driver. I kept encouraging him and this year he is graduating and so am I. Why do I tell you this? Because as a present for my constant support and not judging him all these years for living on welfare he bought me an Xbox One Titanfall bundle, along with the Titanfall controller, Forza 5, Dead Rising 3, a 50$ points card, a play and charge kit and a one year Xbox Live Gold card... he told me we need to play this together.

I still can't believe this. I had to pick it up at the post office but didn't even know what it was. If you could see the girl at the counter telling me "Why so excited, it's just games!". Haha anyway, I had to share this with you guys. Thanks for reading.

I will give my impressions on the console when I finaly have time to open and install it.

Microsoft said they had to cut some stuff out of the 90 minute presentation at E3. Didnt they say they were planning on doing announcements for the entire week?

I think that is the reason they are doing announcements whole week. Announce few not big big franchises during e3 week and big announcements at e3 miscrosoft show. I guess

I think of E3 is a week, maybe even two. Won't fit everything in 90 minutes.

It's because Ryuu is actually Phil Spencer. You didn't know?

According to VGC Xbox One is now at 3.9m sold. Doesnt look like they made the adjustment for American numbers at the moment though.




       

Okay, thanks for the Kinect troubleshooting. I think that's resolved.

I have another issue though. For the past 3 days now, I see to not be able to access the MS Store, and pins... So the left and right side of my dashboard are basically closed off.

On the right: "Having trouble connecting? It might be a problem on our side. We're working on it."
On the left: "Your pins aren't available Sorry about that. They should be back soon.
Friends are seen online, so I'm guessing this is a MS issue and not mine... Anyone else having that issue? Hope it gets resolved soon.
