Xbox Adding Wheelchair Option, Improved Visuals to Avatars
Microsoft’s avatar system is getting an update soon. One of the features being added with the update is one that’s pretty cool, and one that surprisingly hasn’t been asked for before. It started with a comment made on Twitter by Seamus Blackley, co-creator of Xbox, about how hard it would be technically to add wheelchairs to avatars. Xbox engineering lead Mike Ybarra revealed images showing male a...[Read More]
Fallout 4 mods for PS4 delayed by Bethesda
Bethesda has experienced trouble with enabling mods on the PlayStation 4 version of Fallout 4, and it seems Sony is the one to blame. Sony is limiting the mods to 900MB of space. This is in contrast to Microsoft, which allows 2GB of space for mods. In addition, the PS4 edition of Fallout 4 seems to suffer from poor optimization, which makes the issue worse. Bethesda was ready to roll out a beta of...[Read More]
Project Scorpio: New Xbox One or Something Else?
After watching Microsoft’s E3 2016 conference, I was livid. The source of my anger was their official reveal of Project Scorpio, their planned upgraded version of the Xbox One. The reveal was not a surprise; it was mentioned along with the Xbox 360 S, their slimmer Xbox One, a couple of days prior to the conference. But seeing and hearing it confirmed by Microsoft made my “Hulk Smash” instincts po...[Read More]

The new user interface will be rolled out to Battlefield 4, Battlefield Hardline, and Battlefield 1. It will allow players to create squads before a g...[Read More]

E3 Impressions: Microsoft Conference
The entire time I was watching Microsoft’s E3 conference, I kept looking up. I imagined the sword of Damocles dangling over my head, in the form of a product unveiling. At the end of the conference, the sword finally fell. Up to that point, Microsoft’s conference was pretty decent. After the unveiling, all I wanted was to scream. Oh, and remove that sword from my brain. I’ll get to my rant about t...[Read More]
E3 Impressions: Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
Mentioning Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare online tends to elicit very radical responses from “impassioned” fans. Many of the responses are negative, and some are vitriolic. I have prepared myself for these. I have my Kevlar helmet on, my bulletproof vest strapped on, and my AR-15 loaded and ready. Bring it! OK, I’m not loaded or armored; the only thing loaded in this house is me, and the most arm...[Read More]
