Me and my friend Brent are trying to get the last trophy on Uncharted, Well last 2 if you count the plat.). We are going to be so hardcore about this, that we aren't going to eat a single bite until we F-up Crushing Mode. I mean, we are seriously going to mess this game up. Here comes my Level 4 "man-meat". Lol. You guys ever do anything that separates the casual from the Hardcore?
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Most recent one:
I told people I was on vacation and couldn't come to a meeting, just so nobody would disturb me while I played MGS4. Didn't do anything but play the game for 12 hours straight.
A while back:
Me and a friend were playing Mario Tennis on the N64, Doubles, we had our characters (not maxed out), against Mario and Boo on the hardest difficulty, maximum game length (forgot which court). We played and talked about every day stuff, like we used to, when we both looked at each other, just like you do when you talk with someone. Only that we didn't look at each other for a moment during the replay or something, we had talked like that the entire match, without even turning our heads to the screen. We won the entire match without our enemies getting a single point, just seeing the screen in the corner of an eye.
And another one:
A friend of mine recommended Kingdom Hearts, so I started playing during my final exams. I loved it and played pretty much every day for several hours to get my brain free. I played so much that I forgot to prepare my presentation (one part of the exams). I had to do it in the night before (cutting music, doing the hand-outs, preparing three sites of pics, writing my notes). In the end I just said "F'ck it, I go to sleep" somewhere around 2 a.m. (I "remembered" my presentation at about twelve) and being awake for something like 30 hours.
Got an A-.
Would you consider any of that hardcore?
EDIT: Also, since I play English (me being German) video games since I'm 3 or something, I always had A's in English, without doing sh't but playing. Every time we were introduced to new vocabulary, I was like "Yeah, I know that stuff, can we do something else?".
Try to explain your teacher you know a language from videogames. They thought I was crazy or something.
I usually space out while playing rock band, and when I come to the songs over and I have like 97 on expert or something crazy lol. I think that's called "flow".
