    Knew there was a reason I’m still up at 1.00am in the UK… oh yeah… Minecraft!

    E!! Love it! I’m with you 100% on the open world stuff. GTA, Fallout 3 and Elder Scrolls series does nothing for me, and I keep giving them a chance, because I want to like them (They have a fantastic price vrs life-span ratio), but I just can’t. That said, the comicbook visual sand gameplay of Crackdown kept me laughing right to the end on both games. Actually, I loved and finished GTA Vice City back in the day for the same reasons; bright, colourful and funny.

    Laura: I went to see Prometheus on release date with 4 others. The group broke down like this: J and myself are huge fans of the Alien franchise, S and H had never seen a single minute of any of them, and Sa had seen a few scenes here and there many, many years ago, but she had never seen more than a scene or two at a time, and never saw the entire movie. J and I hated Prometheus with a passion, S, H and Sa thought it was okay, but nothing special. So feel free to see the Prometheus before the others.

    As usual any “bad news” (Gamescom none appearance) is dismissed in a couple of sentences in 30 seconds followed by “So what are you playing this week…?”.

      You should know what to expect. This is not the Microsoft-Addresses-Your-Complaints podcast. It’s Major, Laura, and E talking about stuff. You can take it or leave it.

      • BigBernard

        That’s why I said “As usual”…

          There really is nothing more we could add to the discussion. I had a dedicated blog post about the decision. No point in go over it again.

        You guys spend all this time with these system updates but what about the most important update you guys have been missing for years?? THE GUIDE MENU! Its the laggiest part of the whole xbox. Sure the dashboard is smooth BUT god forbid you try to send a message. That takes about 5 minutes by the time you navigate the laggy interface.

        • Jordan Mcdonald

          are u kidding the rest of the dashboard is dead to me, the guide button is the only thing that makes me (and especialy my gf) able to use the damn box with relative ease…

        True….and I miss Stepto
        And I want a Mass Effect hangout !!!

    I don’t totally get the animal thing e. Killing a helpless deer, alright, I understand being iffy about that. Though if it’s a matter of food for survival, I think it’s justifiable.

    But killing a wolf that’s attacking you? Why is that a problem? The wolf is attacking you!

    I just want to know if UK gets to watch NBA games on the Xbox360. I’m a fan of basketball and would love to watch all the “Miami Heat, LA Lakers, Housten Rockets, and Indiana Pacer games” and any other games that would interest me.

    Being a fan of both of the current gen game consoles, I wanted to drop you a quick note to say how much I’ve always appreciated the fact that you guys aren’t afraid to say something nice about the competition every now and again. Not all console specific blogca… er, PODcasts are willing to do that.
    For me at least, the fact that you guys give credit where credit is due makes me feel even better about the Xbox brand overall.
    It also serves to make your show much more personable and not just an infomercial.

    Thanks a bunch, and keep up the good work!

    Who did the opening song at Microsoft’s E3 press briefing? What is the name of the song and why is it so hard to find any info about this?

    It’s interesting that there are so many trolling about the Xbox or its live services because like7 years ago there was nothing like this out. I could not sit down and control everything I want to do with my voice and or hand without having to mess with a controller. Its like everyone forgot about what you use to be able to with a console, which was nothing besides enter the game. People sure have become spoiled in a small amount of time.

    so sort of a random thought (and i cant find a more approriate place to address this….) but an update i’d like to see still…..
    is there any explanation as to why we buy themes on dashboard but then half of the screen is filled up with a gray screen? is there some way for xbox to fix that? im okay with the big gray mark if there was atleast a “community window” where it shows your theme as a whole and maybe shows your avatar mingling with other avatars? perhaps a step up from a premium theme and make it interactive for 400msp?
    is there ever a chance to see microsoft fix this?? thanks Major.
