"Share the ad with your friends", what the fuck? If a friend shared an ad with me, they would be a fucking ex-friend. Unless it was a cool vintage ad from the 80ies. If this is for real, do they really see the consumers as such a bunch of retarded sheep?

Since Micro$oft is bringing the xbox experience to Wintendo, you can expect this to be in Wintendo 8 too.

Time to switch to the People's Operating System: Linux!

I was more annoyed with that Green Lantern poll.

No Kyle Rayner, Guy Gardner, or Alan Scott?

Not even John Stewart?

Really guys?

MICRO$OFT, don't you see we don't want this motion control bullshit?! Listen. Halo 2, Halo 3. are those casual games we use by waving ourselves around like a retard? Sure, have a few fun things with motion control, but don't reinvent your system and alienate the MASSIVE majority of your fanbase to try to get little jimmy over there to get inside your van and get some candy.

Hardcore Halo players won't take it! I really do wonder if they really think they're going to get teens -- "very social creatures" -- to share ads with each other, or if this is just bullshit directed at marketing types who can't get enough of social media.

Yes, they do.
The sad thing is that they are right.

Well, looks like the days of rampant OS piracy and hacking are coming back, then. Maybe. Although...

Just picture this perfect scenario that will be playing out in the future:

You and your cool bros will be chillin' by your XBox 360 Ultra Slim Black, playing Halo of War: Ultramodern Warfare 3 and then you'll feel like you wanna see a commercial. You'll coolly say, "XBox, commercials", and your trusty console will erupt in a display of consumerist joy bonanza. You will be awed as attractive men and women in their early twenties, several teenagers and an older couple will have their dull corporate or otherwise lives transformed to a land of bliss by a bottle of Coca-Cola (TM). It will awe you. It will move you.

Two brief words will snap off your excited lips. "XBox, tweet!", and instantly, your trusty pleasure device shall send a link to this excellent commercial to your Twitter account. Your friends will soon be awed as well, and hail you as the coolness guru and a True Bro, even if you're actually a girl.

Still not content that you've found out everything about this excellent product, briskly, you will order, "XBox, more!", just like the Bro God Jean-Luc Picard would order to whomever it may concern, and the XBox would bring up information. Contests! Local addresses! Famous people drinking Coca-Cola!

You will bro-fist your nearest bro, smile knowingly and say, "Ah yes, this is the Good Life."

Isn't this what capitalists dream about? True consumer freedom!
