why should i make a joke about portable xbox i dont want to

sonarus6343d ago

The cellphone was obviously paid off by Microsoft

ArmrdChaos6343d ago

the phone was using a Sony battery...works both ways. Feeble attempts at wittiness easily find humor one tab over...give it a try. ----->

On a more poignant note...someone died because of this.

Only Microsoft makes devices that explode and kill people, I.E. Xbox 360. I heard the Army saved over a billion dollars dropping refurbished Xbox 360's in Iraq instead of bombs.

The phone got to close to a computer with Windows Vista and decided

"F*ck it, I'm out".

Probably down to the high cost of gaming. Controllers and racing wheels can cost as much as consoles.

This is why there will always be competition in gaming. The possibilities to make huge profits is just too enticing.

Pokémon Go Championship Winner Title Revoked for ‘Unsportsmanlike Conduct’

The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.

There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.

Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
