Just When Microsoft Couldn't Get More Pathetic
While I'm sure that Microsoft had their employees do that on purpose, I think it would've been odd if the press had been cheering with them as they're there to try to be neutral and report. To me the "manufacturing of enthusiasm" at these events is standard practice, and less offensive than some of the Xbox One's announced "features". I think at this point I'm starting to feel a little sorry for Microsoft's PR.

Do you ever exercise?
Yep, I run in the mornings and have been getting back into my Wii Fit routine.

Your Favorite New Gen Controller
Just from looking at them...the Xbox One's controller. But that's the only thing Microsoft made me interested in yesterday.

Another Way to Sum Up Microsoft's Conference
lol, love that one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=FMqPvn549ak So far this is my favorite parody. It felt eerily accurate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=KOxdMQhDMIU This one is pretty great too.

The PS4 and Xbox One make sense now
Hahah, nice. I'll take the DVD please. Honestly, I really don't like the new design. It looks too boxy, too plain, and lacks the identity I thought the other Xboxes (Xboxi?) had. I'm really hoping the PS4 looks a little more distinctive.

What does the Internet mean to you?
It's an invention that has altered the course of human history. It gives every person a microphone and the ability to shout too much. It's all information in a digital, primordial ooze that will produce something we can't even fathom right now. It's companies and corporations taking away freedoms you used to have in the name of "personalizing" your experience, selling you codes and digital content that doesn't physically exist. It's made the barriers of communication, socialization, and activism trivial, allowing people to look across the globe and affect what happens there. The internet is raw potential, corruptible and unifying and the first of its kind. Also there's quite a lot of pornography.

Are there any video games you recommend?
The Saboteur. It's a bit of GTA mixed with Assassin's Creed set in WWII Paris. I didn't enjoy it at first, but it really grew on me. It's probably cheap by now too. Also try the demos for God of War, there's a couple I think. It's top action and the games have been genre defining, but they're super violent. I personally love them.

So EA will develop games for Wii U
I really couldn't care less if EA developed games for the Wii U. If I ever get a Wii U it sure as heck won't be to play non-Nintendo games.

What are your first impressions of the Xbox One?
My initial impression was more positive until I heard the details about the daily online requirement and anti-used games policy. Actually, it's not even really anti-used games so much as it's anti-sharing. With anyone. Even for a bit. It sucks, it's the wrong direction for gaming, and I pray Sony doesn't do something similar. Comparing their presentation to Sony's, Microsoft's reveal felt more like an obligation than a celebration. Also, instead of neutralizing the negativity around the system, they seemed to have embraced it; the media centric focus, the online/used game crap, the absence of a strong lineup of titles all contributed to the feeling that they're making a machine and don't really care what the gamer thinks of it.

Could you live without music?
Physically, sure, but I wouldn't enjoy it.

When complaining about Re: Coded's story
Fair point imo. Doesn't make it any better, but since we weren't supposed to get Coded in any form it's better than nothing.
-
Your Least Favorite Video Game Genre
Sports games. Not really wild about horror either.
-
Noticing any similarities?
Tropes on tropes on tropes.

Do you plan to buy Pokemon X and/or Y when they come out in October?
If I had a 3DS I would certainly get it, the game is looking great so far. My console fund is tied up in next gen dreams right now.

Square Enix news coming next week
I'm interested, but also prepared to be underwhelmed.

Least likely KH III wants
(oops, didn't understand the nature of the question at first, my bad) Edit: I want a more mature Sora that, while still good hearted, isn't completely oblivious.
-
Atlantica's water is fake?
Hmmm. I'm going to chalk this one up to 'magic'.
- Favorite NU pokemon?

If Sora gets into Playstation All Stars....
I don't want to be a downer, but I wouldn't get your hopes up for new characters in All-Stars. The company that made the game has been significantly downsized and I think is working on other stuff. To be honest I think he would stand out in both games, and not in a great way. He's an original character but the Kingdom Hearts series is founded on a crossover. His presence would drag one crossover (KH) into another (PSAS/SSB) and ultimately be jarring. All that said, I would certainly play as him in either, haha.
-
What parts of the KH games did you prefer in which versions of KH games?
I really loved BBS's systems, with KHII's making my second most preferred. Also, I would suggest altering the answer for 358/2 Days to be "Did you prefer Days' limits and panel system", seeing as how the poll is asking about the progression and ability systems of each game. "Mission mode" was kind of a different thing.
-
When's the last time you went outside?
Earlier, went to go water the garden.
-
Pokemon in KH3 confirmed!
I see what you did there.
-
Do you use Wikipedia?
Never edited, but I use Wikipedia and wikias pretty frequently.
-
Have you ever paid extra specifically to gain an advantage in a video game?
Never had to, never wanted to.

You can embody the traits of a good Christian without being intolerant and oppressive of other demographics, let alone other Christians. The pink person is a tool.
