Damn, I haven't played in almost a decade, but I forgot how insanely fun Kan-Ra is!

Valhalla journal entry day infinite: Well .. that’s it, that’s the end of the journey. We started in Norway, went to England, then to Vinland, Ireland, Paris, the north mythology places in too tired to spell check and we end in a basement doing a puzzle for a giant head and the purple power ranger.  200hrs, 8600 kills, 1152 collectibles and over 700 levels gained .. this ain’t ya moms Assassins Creed anymore, this is a AAAA game. The. Fucking. End. 

Congrats pimp! Damn 200 hours total ooof, I spent that amount plus more apparently with no dlc. Guessing it's idle time counted though. 

Yeah, Tim Stuart sucks at this. Klob nailed it in his analysis here:

Tim Stuart (Xbox chief financial officer) in an interview with TechRaptor. I do feel like the messaging here is just all over the place:

• "Xbox's mission is to bring its first-party experiences and subscription services to every screen that can play a game, [...] including PlayStation and Nintendo"

Note: Microsoft wants to sell Xbox consoles but at the same time they somehow also want to be a third-party publisher. That's one way to give Xbox fans (no) confidence, I guess.

• Explains that the move to Game Pass Core from Xbox Live Gold was motivated by the idea that paying for multiplayer feels antiquated.

Note: So, they got the right idea that paying for multiplayer feels antiquated, and as a result they created a new tier where you are paying for multiplayer. Alright.

• "We need consumer brands at Microsoft that are meaningful."

Note: Xbox is that meaningful consumer brand at Microsoft. And Microsoft is actively lessening the impact the brand could have by being so defensive about your own content.

The Chief Financial Officer should probably go back to sticking to actual financing

And hire Klob as head of Xbox marketing lol

I think the thing that annoys me me most, possibly even more than the fact that they won't just decide to stick to Xbox exclusivity and keep saying they want PS and Nintendo money, is that line of BS he fed us about how they got rid of Gold because paying for multiplayer feels antiquated. So why the f are we still paying for multiplayer then? PC Gamepass is still getting it for free, so why do we Xbox fans have to pay $8 a month more than PC people for multiplayer. So many Xbox console owners are fed up with feeling like 2nd class citizens within the Xbox ecosystem. There was no need for Gamepass Core to exist, they could have simply added multiplayer to base Xbox console Gamepass. Then they could have added additional bonuses to Gamepass Ultimate so that it wouldn't feel like a ripoff at $7 a month more than base console Gamepass with multiplayer no longer an incentive.

Stuart may be good at making Xbox money, but he is bad for marketing, so why even put him in interviews where he can damage Xbox's marketing? 

Yeah, seems like there is alot more positivity for WoW now than there was at the recent reveal event. The reveal trailer for the new expansion for main WoW got about 1 dislike for every 6 likes, while the reveal trailer for WoW Classic's Cataclysm expansion got about 1 dislike for every 4 likes. This new video for WoW Classic is sitting at 32 likes for every dislike, hugely more positive. Seems like people were largely worried that Cataclysm would be forced on them in WoW Classic, and since many old WoW fans felt like Cataclysm was the expansion that started WoW's decline, they were understandably worried that Cata would destroy WoW Classic just as it destroyed WoW. Now that we know vanilla WoW Classic will be maintained separately from Cata WoW Classic, I guess people are much less worried. Also helps that they are making some needed changes to Cata for Classic which will make it a better experience than it was originally in main WoW.

Xbox really needs to get WoW and WoW Classic onto Xbox somehow, would love to get back into it again after more than a decade, but my PC doesn't even meet the minimum requirement anymore.

So Ms 3rd party now! ???. (I did have a gif to put here but i didnt think it would fit the site.)

Is just weird that Remnant 1 and 2 are on gamepass but people are so quiet about it....
