He did mention the book on the recent 8-4 Play podcast, but still inquired about getting suggestions on a standing desk. You're the first person I thought of, since I know your cool with them.Way ahead of you. I sent him a copy of Dr. Sarno's book buy I don't think he is buying into it.
Have you played lately? They patched it and made Rivals mode way better and worth playing. You can make big Coin doing that.I would love a code for Max: Curse of Brotherhood, as I am coming dangerously close to having nothing to play on my XB1.
Wombat, you're absolutely right that Powerstar Golf needs a demo. I bought it on launch day for the system because like you, I loved Hot Shots Golf, but it was still a leap of faith without the demo. Turns out I enjoyed the game a lot and am fine with paying full price for it, but if it came out a year into the XB1's life, and I had plenty of other games to play, I may not have taken the chance without a demo.
Great show, as always!
Xbox needs to have a user customizable safety word that can replace "Xbox" to start voice entry. "BANANAS turn off"EDIT: And for the love of god, will podcast people stop saying Xbox voice commands during podcasts. I had Brad Shoemaker turn off my system while I was leading a race in Forza the other day and Cheapy just knocked me out of 2nd place in an online race during this show.
I found it interesting. Especially since pretty much everyplace else was quick to misinterpret the Machinima/MS situation.I understand that CAG is a business for Cheapy, but I listen to the podcast to hear you guys talk games and gaming, but so much business and advertising strategies and controversies... It's interesting to you guys because it's your livelihood. Maybe I'm wrong, but I would bet most of the listeners would prefer not to have 20 min of talk about ads.
Short answer: Distributed networks are not easy. It's easy for a lot of companies to promise cloud capabilities. In reality, having a lot of devices piggy-back off of a server farm is much easier said than done.From what I can remember wasn't the xbox one going to be more powerful because of the cloud? Like, giving us higher resolutions and expanded power? I speak out of ignorance because I chose not to tempt myself with the new stuff because I cannot afford a new xbox or ps4 right now but try to enlighten me please. Why can't MS have the cloud vision AND an offline mode?
But considering the many issues that are being brought up so early in its life, is it something that could realistically level the playing field? If it works, of course.Short answer: Distributed networks are not easy. It's easy for a lot of companies to promise cloud capabilities.

Xbox One has announced/has several exclusive games so I don't understand your point. Maybe you mean no exclusives that interest you?I'm really surprised that Xbone still hasn't announced any exclusive games. The only thing that comes to mind is how they bought the gears of war franchise but i never wanted to play any of those anyways. So they pretty much have gears and halo but thats it. Titanfall you can just play on pc. I still stand behind the idea that the software sells the hardware and we will see that with the WiiU this year if I am correct.
