[PATV] Monday, August 19, 2013 - CheckPoint Season 3, Ep. 10: A Little Less Kinection

Microsoft announces yet more changes to the Xbox One. At the rate they're going you'll just be buying a rebranded PS4 on launch day.

I'd hire them. On the other hand, I would make a horrible boss.

Hey, my name is 'Gorganzola Cheese and Champagne', and I just wanna say thank you to everyone who gave me Steam goodies. I was really surprised by how generous you strangers were, so thanks a bunch. I am totally up for this being a yearly thing.

By mechsuit, don't you mean powered exoskeleton? Or power armor, if you want people to know what you're talking about. Or is there something about them that makes mech suit the appropriate term?

scw55

@cB557 if BlackOps 2 calls them Mechsuites, then they're called "Mechsuites".

cB557

Ok, so they're called mech suits by the the devs. Good enough, I guess.

It's nice to see the Xbox improving somewhat, but I still hope that the console is finally dead and that everyone can eat their WiiU sales jokes as it ends up having out sold the Xbox # and the PS4

Shadowen

That was not peak sass. We have seen peak sass from Kathleen, and that is nothing close to Kathleen's peak sass. Kathleen's peak sass could peel paint off a garden shed.

Necrox

I'm not sure I would hire any of the LRR Checkpoint crew for making a game, but they managed to all look incredibly sexy in that presentation.

Also I have no idea why I never noticed this, but Paul HAS to be the inspiration for the Dungeons of Dredmor protagonist.

Ducktales in the future. "You mean you have to use your hands?"

I'd make an awesome boss. I have my own theme and I throw barrels at...

Oh, different kind of boss.

Well, it's unrealistic and unlikely, but hope on, dear dreamer.

I won't particularly shed a tear if the Bone crashes and burns.

Yeah, that was more "I just woke up and can't be bothered to bring my A game" sass from her.

Which is still entertaining sass, mind, but nowhere near full potential.

Always online requirement gone? Good! Kinect requirement gone? Even better!

But let me know when I no longer have to download every game I buy on-disc to the hard drive before I can play it. I turned against the Xbox One over that mess, well before I heard about the rest.

Official:
The Xbox One will no longer be called the XBone but shall henceforth be refered to as the Xbox One80

Don Reba

What a coincidence, I am also gathering an Ocean 11-style group to work on a secret project, and you guys would fit right in!

RaideDuku

Beautiful butterfly? More like a moth. Sure, it flies now, but it's still ugly.

bebarce

Zombie's in mech suits not threatening? Robo Cop has something to say about that!

Iron Lung

BARLOG....WINS!
Sorry. I'm sure that joke is REALLY old by now.

Syzygy

Yeah, but what about people like Chris-Chan? They aren't important to a greater whole. In fact, they're detrimental to the whole!

@DuelLadyS You can actually start playing a game on the Xbox One as soon as you enter the disc; it transfers the game to the harddrive in the background as you're playing it. It will also download any updates in the background as you play it.

While that helps, I don't want the game on my hard drive at ALL- that's what the disc is for! I don't want to be scrambling for memory upgrades over redundant data. It's expensive and time consuming, and problematic for a collector-type like me (It's hard to make sure you're getting good quality memory after the system goes obsolete.)

I'd love to make a game with LRR as a writing team. I bet it would be pretty funny, along the lines of Rainslick 3 + 4.

You still have to connect it online to be able to play it offline. Yeah, wrap your logic around that one.

Is it my imagination or does Kathleen have a really nice tan going on?
