Microsoft is on a mission, to fudge up your brain farm!

I do want that trained kestrel.

As you can probably guess, I didn't find much of that funny at all... one bit, that's about it.

I do think it's amusing that Don Mattrick has left Microsoft for Zynga, though... he's their new CEO! I wonder if he chose to leave, or if the XO announcement debacle had anything to do with it...

I dunno, I thought that perfectly captured the actual presentation. From the bizarre turns of phrase to the cheering of things people should have been booing to MS's stance that their community is "perfectly fine" and not a cesspit of abuse hurling freaks (that's how I took the cloud shouting abuse at pregnant women thing) to the list of games no one really had any interest in to their bizarre focus on "SPOOOOOORTS" to how much attention a motion captured dog got for some reason.

Yep, pretty accurate I'd say.

And they've got 5's of games!

Oh yes, the random shouts of "street speak" in the midst of the presentation came off like some sort of tourette problem, only he's got no excuse because he could actually help it. It didn't help that most of those features were things nobody ever asked for. I never wanted to be able to upload comments to Facebook on the fly. What I DID want was to have something like "Steamworks" where people could "mod" their console games and upload them for review by other players on that very network.
