        You’re being harsh to the poor man. I can’t claim to know his justifications. But I realized a while ago that kissing up to a company probably is not a good way to get a job at said company. They’d probably appreciate someone with a dissenting opinion who thinks critically about how they could do better, else what’s the point? Not saying that’s what MH is doing, but you seem to be implying so with your whole “Redmond millionaires” statement. Or maybe you’re just a whacko, who knows.

      • TheHeraldOfDeath

        They’d be the same as the white LED under the Xbox Guide button, just in a ring divided in eights around it to show the player number. For the 360 it would still be divided in quarters (2 LEDs active at a time as it only supports 4 controller), for the One it would enable all eight of them. Just an idea.

      I couldnt listen yet to the full stream, but do they specifically say phones on it? I hope so i want my xbox live integrated games on WP. But im afraid that the Windows 10 / Xbox thing gets more to the full Windows 10 and not the Windows 10 for phones, because they already said before that wont be EXAAAAAACTLY the same OS. So that makes me think if we will get the ID@XBOX on WP ?

        The main problem is indeed controls, which is why I said the Windows Phones need Xbox controller support. Not every PC/console game is suitable for touch controls. Having controller support would fix that.

        Phil says “or phone” and “and phone” several times during the presentation. Universal apps started as a PC/phone thing, now they’re just adding Xbox to the mix.
        They’re making porting games over to phones, from Xbox or PC, incredibly easy, but it’s up to developers make the versions available.

      Yes you can do it and in alot of games it will get you banned. Activision and electronic arts specifically mention that board & mouse is an unsupported external hardware device that they look for and is against their terms of use with their console games and that if found they will result in a permanent ban from their services. It is also against the xbox terms of service 1.9 in that it is unauthorized hardware that is accessing the service if you play online. It also violates part F of the xbox code of conduct. The xim products warn that they are not authorized devices that trick the hardware to get 1to1 movement. But yeah you can use a board & mouse. You might not get caught but if you do you lose content licenses, the gold time you had left and any funds that may be on your microsoft account.

        I never talk about having money until someone like yourself starts crying about it. I just share with people I talk to on here what I’m gaming with and they do the same. The fact that you get so bent out of shape over it says a lot more about your insecurity that a 27 year old is doing so much better than yourself. How old are you anyway lol you seem mighty bitter.

        I never said you sneak into other peoples house to take pictures. You came up with that one. Guilty much? I just asked why you think pictures on the internet are proof of anything.

        You are a dip. Go back and look at this conversation and see who mentions MONEY first. Your assumption -you know what that makes you- that I do not have a large disposable income and thus jealous of you is clearly a fantasy of your own delusions of self grandeur… like most of your posts. The truth is you know nothing about me and you are grabbing at straws.

        Then you think that you have no fat. I guess you are an enigma of science then too since it is physically impossible to maintain no body fat. 5% is required to maintain life. But if that is supposed to be your wife or girl in the picture you have got -the one I am laughing at and making horse jokes about- we can safely assume where the fat is going. Seriously dude. Look at you. You are worried about pictures and trying to correct or put down people in a blog and what you and others might or might now have. There is no way in the world you are not a miserable egomaniac.

        But of course that’s the case because you’re so unbelievably self conscious about yourself you have to start projecting on others right away eh. Lol

        And clearly when I said no fat I meant I’m in good shape. Obviously everyone has body fat you moron. But the fact that I’m very fit was what I was pointing out due to your hilarious basement dweller comment..haha projecting again?

        Lol pal I’m not worried about anything. I could care less if you think I do or don’t own whatever. I just clearly give proof to any weirdo that actually thinks I would lie about something so silly lol… what would you consider proof? Do u want me to take pictures and I’ll write your name on paper next to them? Because it’s late and I don’t have a damn thing to do lol I’ll gladly prove to you whatever you’d like for a laugh just to make you look even more like an idiot.

        You are so pathetic it’s scary. You didn’t answer my question anyway lol how old are you? Show us a pic of ya bro! I wanna see if that basement dweller comment really was you projecting your insecurities lol
