Has this mistake ever actually been made?
I have literally never heard it pronounced the first way in my entire life.
I finally finished my convention banner design. Did you know that if the file size of a PSD document exceeds two gigabytes, Photoshop will tell you to shove it where the sun don’t shine? ’Cause it totes does!
32x80” banner done in 300 dpi with resources literally as large as Manga Studio EX4 is capable of churning out, and even then large parts of this wound up being scaled up for the print model before everything was downsampled for you, internet. So very downsampled.
I’m not sure if I’ll have this for Wonder NW or not, but planning to have it by Rose City, at least. Please give me all your moneys! :D
Microsoft confirms ‘pre-owned fee’ for Xbox One
“Microsoft has confirmed that all Xbox One games will require mandatory installation onto the system’s hard drive and, to install the same disc onto another user’s drive, a fee must be paid.”
Here is a link to the Article:

With that said. What are your opinions on it??? Would you still be willing to buy the Xbox One? Or wait and see what the PS4 has to offer? Let us know what you think.
Stay Rockin’!!!!
Also, there’s this shit to be pissed off about still.
Eh. I dunno, if I were of the mind to trust them not to be greedy assholes, I might be willing to accept this as good compromise between the pre-owned industry and Microsoft’s need for profits. It depends on how expensive this “pre-owned” fee is (and how expensive/roomy the basic model of this thing is).
Problem is, I’ve also seen a fair point brought up: Who gets the fee? Is it just Microsoft? What about the developer who made the game in the first place?

Thoughts on XBox One
My ability to follow the livestream was severely limited, but by the time I’d waited half an hour for any gameplay footage just to hear “E. A. SPORTS.” through my choppy video feed right before it froze, I decided it wasn’t worth fighting any longer. Twitter informs me it was Madden, Forza, and a slight glimpse at the next project from the Alan Wake guys, making the last thing both the most interesting and least focused on.
The amount of enthusiasm and attention given to streaming content and watching live television both bothered me and struck me as ironic given my situation of not even being able to maintain a connection to one petty press conference in 360p. Sony also poured attention over their new hardware specs and how they’re updating their online infrastructure, but at least presented it in a way that you knew how it applied to their games. Microsoft seemed far more interested in HBO and presenting the console in a series of slow pans to porn techno.
No offense, but video is going to look as good on one HD device as it will on any other, give or take whatever weird color balancing or frame smoothing crap your TV might do. I’m pretty sure the confusingly-named One isn’t going to outshine the 360 visually in that regard, and spending half of your press conference on trying to get me excited about being able to talk to TV Guide isn’t going to make me want your system.
Hell, to be frank, neither is EA Sports or Forza, but that’s a different matter. When games finally were shown, they were definitely catered to a specific crowd, and it was one that kind of helps cement the anti-XBox gamers’ view of the 360’s install base as being a bunch of sports- and military-obsessed frat boys and teenagers. Again - and it’s really hard to help doing this - the PS4 reveal had multiple genres and visual styles represented. It showed what the system could do visually that the PS3 could not, but also tried to cover as many bases as possible so everyone could come away with something, be that Watchdogs or that thing with the little cartoon golem in it. First impressions are kind of an amazing time to do this, because that’s when people are debating which member of the competition to throw cash at.
Really, the only thing exciting to me is the redesigned controller, largely in hopes that it still functions as a PC gamepad like its predecessor. There’s hardly a drop of software worth caring about yet, and frankly I have cable already and my remote works just fine. Some of the technical jargon thrown around had potential to become something, but they didn’t have any visual examples to go with it, so who the hell cares at this point?
