No you don't! It's impossible to love!

Must be the nostalgia factor from when you were a kid xD

Honestly I still like Goofy, Donald, Mickey and the other Disney characters to this day. For instance every year for Christmas Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas is part of my Christmas movie regimen xD

Well you're probably used to their annoying voices xD

If you can stomach that more power to you!

I get people enjoy chatting here generally and that's fine to a point.

It's where that point becomes too much that it takes over from the main focus of the thread and detracts from the Xbox conversation as a whole. If you want to talk about TV then make a TV thread; I'd endorse that for sure. But do try and keep it on the MS from here on, mostly. Banter is good but a completely unrelated discussion can either be it's own thread or discussed on a wall/in a PM.

So what you are saying is TV talk is banned now? even if there is no Xbox conversation going on at all at the point it's being spoken about?

You appear to be missing the point. People have been complaining both in this thread and in others that there's not enough Xbox-related news / too much off-topic discussion. And that's fine, for the most part. But when it gets to the point where some of the main posters in the thread get frustrated (and I see three people talking about it in the last 50 posts) then there's something starting to go seriously wrong. It's best to make it clear now and just reaffirm the situation than the thread deteriorating further, if that makes sense.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Although I don't give a shit about most of the TV discussion I'd argue that TV is a pretty big part of Xbox.

Whilst that may be it's not as though it's cheif selling point is TV; nor is it the only place you can watch TV. The actual programs being discussed have nothing to do with Xbox more than you can watch it on there.

I don't see how we can talk about Xbox news when there is NONE at the point we usually talk about TV Shows, literally 80% of this thread is Xbox News, I get most of the news, we speak mainly about Xbox, unless you want us to dig up some old news and talk about it over and over again to keep it on topic about Xbox untill something new pops up

So can you be more specific about the rules for talking about TV Shows? in this thread, just a clear yes you can, no you can't or just a little

Just a little and only about Game of Thrones. xD jk.

Not enough Xbox talk? What? Ryuu in particular gets pretty much every last drop of Xbox news from OXM, IGN, and most major news outlets all from indies, to Sunset, to rumors, to twitter talk. There's plenty of Xbox talk here.

I understand that, but there is the option to not post in this thread when there's no news. Like, you know, every other big thread on this site. I "get" the want to post here and talk to people but that's still not the point of the thread; the thread must abide by forum rules and that includes the ones regarding off-topic discussion. 

All I'm going to say is that to be on the safe side just create a TV related thread. That way you can talk about it to your heart's content and it doesn't detract from the thread overall. I apologize if that sounds harsh, but there should be no special treatment because "it's a big thread" or "because Jay says it's OK". This is the XBOX Nation after all. Not the Arrow Nation.

Well that was expected, but at least they're getting Far Cry for 2014.
