I think it's a 'satirical' news site that make up fake headlines?

EDIT: A few of these stories are real actually, I hope this one isn't :/



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

Wait lol, it's a satirical site. And it's rather crappy satire at that, because satire isn't supposed to look like it could actually be a legitimate story.

Of course, you love Xbox no? So you by nature will not trust anything that disparages the brand. I was shocked by the news myself. However better to be safe then sorry. Do yourself a favor and at least keep the disc tray turned away from you.

No, judging by other stories on that site I don't see how you can put any trust in this article. Also I highly doubt the Xbox disc tray is even capable of spining a disc at a high enough speed to slit somebodies throat. 

Give what ever explanation makes you feel better. Givin the amount of time between me posting this and you responding I'd believe the site before I'd believe you actually took the time to really read anything else on that site. No offence. Of course you doubt it, again it's more than clear that you have a bias. Which is fine nothing wrong with it. However mechanically speaking a disc is sharp enough and the disc trat is powerful enough to do just that if there was a malfunction that cased the disc drive to spit out discs. MS has had pleanty of issues many similar on Xb1 since launch in 2013 alone. In fact many peopel got free games because of it.

Not only that, but the chance of it happening are extremely slim.The Xbox was needed to malfunction, and at the same time it needed to be high enough to hit the throat and the guy would need to be in the disk tray sight to kill him.All at the same time and moment.Chance-wise, this must be fake.

Or the other explanation is that microsoft has created skynet, and it escaped through the xbox.

NewsWatch is a satirical site lol. Other items include: "Teen kills friend over last Krispy Kreme donut", "Man Super-Glues gf's vagina shut", and "Girl commits suicide after rumors of Drake not writing his own song."
And then this one: "Women kills Chipotle worker after he refuses to accept sex as a payment"
https://newswatch33.com/bizarre/woman-kills-chipotle-worker-after-refusing-to-accept-sex-as-payment/

None of these news items are on other sites. I wonder why?

No, man, the Drake thing is true.  I saw it on Facebook.

Oh yea! It was like:

>gurl goes on fb. Sees headline:

>"Drake no write his own beats"

>gurl makes post says: "Like dis if u think Drake writes own beats; ignore if u want me to kill myself"

>But nobody liked it.

>Gurl commited suicide by liquifying her brain. Cause was listening to Drake on repeat.

>Like dis if u cry everytiem

Look at the articles - this looks like a satire news site than anything.

My immediate reaction when I saw some of you asking if this was real or not:

Please don't hold it against me.

I admit - it fooled me for about 15 seconds  ;(

But considering the fact that I didnt see it on GAF before coming on VGC - I had a feeling this was fake lol.

Still I dont feel too bad being fooled by this :P - I feel worse knowing that I wont be able to play HH in WWE games now :/
