Was working as a Computer Technician but when we changed board directors they removed a lot of people including me.  So for the time being yes I am. Though I will say that I am more than ready to get behind a desk again xD

VLC Possibly coming to Xbox One

VLC Media player is a popular free media player that is nearly used by everyone these days. Sporting a lightweight size along with the ability to playback almost all the media formats, VLC Media Player has become one of the fastest and best media players.

A programmer on VLC’s team, Jean-Baptiste Kempf, wrote in his blog post about the readiness of VLC for Windows Runtime or WinRTport. Surprisingly his list also contained Xbox One which many give a hint that the VLC Media Player app might make an appearance on the Xbox One very soon. Since Xbox One’s dashboard and UI are very similar to Windows 8′s Metro style UI, porting the VLC Media Player using WinRT won’t be difficult and that the next major update of VLC Media Player might bring the app to Xbox One.

Kempf states:

So, here is an update about our port on WinRT platforms.

I now say WinRT platforms, but that means:

• Windows 8/8.1 ModernUI Metro
• Windows Phone 8
• XBox One? (who knows?)

One major thing about VLC Media Player is that it can playback the popular .mkv files. Xbox One, on its own, cannot playback .mkv files natively but if VLC Media Player pops up on the Xbox One then we can be sure that the .mkv file compatibility will be present on the Xbox One and with the app it would be able to play .mkv files natively, without any streaming from any PC or app.

Stay tuned with us as we bring you more information as the story develops.

Microsoft Lift London Announcing 3 Games Soon

Remember the four new games in development at Microsoft's new Lift London studio, the ones that will apparently "redefine what triple-A represents"? You can expect to lay eyes on three of them in the not too distant future.

That's according to studio head Lee Schuneman, who spoke to OXM as part of the London Calling feature in our Christmas 2013 issue. "We've got a high bar for innovation," he said, during an interview recorded in November. "We have three cool titles in development that we'll reveal very soon."

As to what those titles might consist of, all we know is that they're free-to-play games for "connected platforms". Addressing audiences at the Develop conference this spring, Schuneman highlighted the need to "build universes that will grow with the audience and follow them onto whatever device they own". Something in the vein of the (excellent) cross-platform Skulls of the Shogun seems probable, then.

It's also likely that the new games will follow in the footsteps of Remedy's Quantum Break, which seeks to collapse (or at least, make an artistic point of) the "barrier" 'twixt games and non-interactive media. As Schuneman puts it in the new issue, "we want to create new experiences that join TV, gaming and so on, and bring it into something unique."

In other news, Microsoft is currently "incubating" a number of "primarily cloud-based" Xbox One titles.

Cant believe it's still in stock 3 hours later. If anyone wants to buy one THIS is the time!!

I'm a little skeptical of Lift London to be honest.  Making 4 games at once and claiming they are of AAA quality without the budget is a little far fetched to me.  I hope I'm wrong and they make a really good game, but I am definitely skeptical until i see some footage of all 4 games.

Most of MS studios have at least 2 teams making 2 games at the time.

You may have missed where they said they're redefining what AAA means. In this case, it doesn't mean huge $$$ production, it means Minecraft, State of Decay ect.

Not sure how big those teams are, but games that size don't require as many people.
