Don't feel too bad, I haven't played it either. I've watched the FF7: Advent Children movie though and I loved it, so I'd like to play it one day, but I'm still holding on to the dream of a proper remake first, I don't really want to play the original version as outdated as it is now.

I still have that blu-ray, but haven't watched it yet.

Also, the only FF games I've played are 13 and 13-2...

:O

Just reading through the rules to see if it's okie to set people on fire3 ... there doesn't seem to be a rule against it! :D

You know I'm actually sitting here right now playing through FF7 again on my pspgo (while waiting for an lfr queue in WoW) for about the... maybe... 20th playthrough of this game I've done, I'm rather quite jealous of ye for not having played it because as much as it is a very old game, the pre rendered backgrounds of it really do give it a bit of a timeless look (admittedly helped for me playing it on a 4inch screen right now) But yeah, play FF7. The game is a fine 50 or so hours of your life that can't be matched by more modern RPGs in my own personal experiences anyway.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Ok i finally beat Batman Origins. Fantastic game. I dont think they can do wrong with the basis of that game.
Now after beating the game i watched until the credits rolled. I just knew there was more cutscenes. This fucking shit took 20 minutes. At least. I could not believe it i kept waiting for it to finish. It was like watching the end of Return of The King. Holy shit.

End rant

I long since gave up on sitting through the credits unless there is an achievement associated with it, I just find the after credits video on youtube now. 


Lol well i thought they were going to be short. That was ridiculous

Send them some more! I want Conker also xD

But seriously, I'd be pretty disappointed if a B-K game isn't revealed this year. MS is sitting on what could be Xbox's premier platforming franchise



SkyDrive renamed to OneDrive

Microsoft is renaming SkyDrive as OneDrive. The company's cloud file-storage service, which launched in 2007, will soon be rechristened with the new name, and all SkyDrive products will eventually migrate to OneDrive.com.

The name change comes months after Microsoft agreed to rebrand SkyDrive after a legal dispute with UK-based Sky Broadcasting. Microsoft says "OneDrive" reflects its intention to recast its cloud service as the "one place for all your documents." Microsoft has been increasingly steering its customers toward using SkyDrive, giving away 200GB of free storage for two years to anyone who buys a Surface tablet as well as making SkyDrive the default place to store documents in apps like Word and Excel in Windows 8.1.

"We believe the new OneDrive name conveys the value we can deliver for you and best represents our vision for the future," Ryan Gavin, Microsoft's general manager of consumer apps and services, said in a blog post. "Expect to be able to experience the new OneDrive soon."

"Soon" is the only timeline that Microsoft gave for the migration to OneDrive, and so far, all SkyDrive products retain their names and domains. SkyDrive.com is still active, and OneDrive.com shows a preview site, with just an email sign-up for people who want to know when the site will be open for business.

Functionally, OneDrive will work the same as SkyDrive
Functionally, OneDrive will work the same as SkyDrive, Gavin wrote, and users of SkyDrive and SkyDrive Pro shouldn't notice any changes apart from the name. SkyDrive Pro, a the business-focused arm of the service, also gets a new name: OneDrive for Business, mirroring the naming convention established by other cloud services, such as Dropbox.

 

In Windows 8.1, Microsoft added new features to SkyDrive to ease users' transition from saving locally to storing documents in the cloud. SkyDrive keeps placeholder files on the local drive that take up a minuscule amount of space but enable the PC to treat the files as local files — complete with thumbnail previews — up to the point when opened. Working in Office documents saved in the cloud, which introduced noticeable lags in Windows 8, was also improved.

I think I'd rather see a new Conker personally, seems like something I'd be interested in. But Banjo is probably the smarter choice for Microsoft, it's likely to sell better than Conkers. I agree that it would be foolish of Microsoft and Rare to not release a new Banjo, the Xbox currently lacks a platformer and they're just stting on one that should sell anywhere between 1-3+ million copies.  


From my point of view Conker has the better story but Banjo was tthe better platformer.  Just my opinion of course

Dude I hear ya, I personally like Conker more but the game doesn't have a chance. Banjo is a fine platforming series that has potential to sell well. I at the very least would like to see Conker's BFD on the games store with added live features.
