Awesome. Simply awesome.GhaleonEB said:Compilation of several screens from the GoW thread:
open_mouth_ said:there's a chance microsoft may open up 360 streaming through XP without the Media Center requirement.
Onix said:Based on what? Has there been any credible reason to think this?
I for one would be quite happy - but it simply doesn't seem logical business-wise. I simply can't imagine MS's board of directors (or shareholders) being okay with this ... unless MS's entire gameplan for 'the connected home' is going in a totally new direction?
This would basically be = MS fail total as far as A/V goes.
open_mouth_ said:why would it be a poor decision for MS from a business standpoint, especially if Sony is going to try to leverage whatever it can (its movie backlog, etc.) ?
sp0rsk said:Wow, what an awful thread.
Onix said:You obviously don't understand MS's Media Center / Media Center Extender business model.
open_mouth_ said:that's why I'm asking you to explain
open_mouth_ said:Chode Chronus stuff
dirtmonkey37 said:18. Shadowrun (say what you want, it looks awesome)
Onix said:What makes this design great (for MS), is that both the client and server use software that MS licenses (and makes money off of).
Bah, I think I was the one being a dick. I was up until 2am playing Oblivion last night and woke up crabby. Sorry I even brought it up.Onix said:I wasn't trying to be a dick ...
... when I came back to the thread (still page 1, after my initial post), I saw the animated gif and made a joke.
I'm sorry if I didn't feel it necessary to go back and edit my post after I realized someone had made a similar joke within the last 10 minutes.

I had to say something. I've been out all day, come back and go through the threads I'd posted in earlier and actually cringed at my own comments. We're good.Onix said::lol
No problem .... thanks for commenting though, it's appreciated.

I want to say no it doesn't, it's a freaking atrocity against the memory of FASA, and I hope Parish 4.5s it for every review outlet in existence to teach them a lesson not to commit such heresies in the name of squad based gun nut rubbish. MGS should stop, take the FPS they have and build a real Shadowrun rules-based RPG around it.
AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BURN ALL THOSE MAGIC SQUAD MARINE CHARACTER DESIGNS AND BRING BACK TIM BRADSTREET.
That is all. Thank you.
plagiarize said:just pretend it isn't called shadowrun and you'll see that it's a pretty interesting looking title. i know that everyone thought it was going to be a shadowrun rpg and were disapointed that it wasn't... but almost noone seems to be taking what it is based on it's own merits.

While this is true, you must also consider how many business, people, families and shareholders have benefitted from his work at Microsoft.Onix said:While that is true ... you must also consider how many people, families, shareholders (and their familes), etc. his business practices have hurt.

small fraction?X26 said:Ah yes it's so generous of him to create a monopoly that over the years charges consumers out the ass for miniscule upgrades and to then take a small fraction of those profits and give it to a worthwhile cause
But that's a debate for another place
GhaleonEB said:While this is true, you must also consider how many business, people, families and shareholders have benefitted from his work at Microsoft.
Either way - yeah, let's leave him out of it.
I agree with you there.Onix said:Certainly a good idea to leave him out. I'm just saying he ain't a saint.

In the other thread, there was talk of media player 11 having built-in support for 360 and a possible fall dashboard update could allow it to work correctly. This is all conjecture at this point, btw.
mrklaw said:its not conjecture. Go to microsoft.com, click on the big WMP11 button, then one of the main bullet points is media sharing. Click and it'll explicitly say you can stream videos to X360 from XP
