Mass Deduction (née scrapking)'s discussions

Then what's lame about having a couple of minor Kinect-only features, then? There are no extra buttons on the controller to dedicate to an analyse feature, anyway, Halo uses them all. Read more

How ironic that someone would say that using voice commands is "dumb". Read more

"And thass right. Nobody fucks with the Kalapusa (7)." Read more

What's wrong with Windows Phone? I owned an iPhone before, and have an Android tablet, and prefer the Metro user interface of Windows Phone over iOS and anything I've seen on Android. Read more

I agree with a lot of what you said. I'd add that custom soundtracks, indie games, and more are also console innovations spearheaded by Microsoft. Read more

Nice. :) Read more

I think these features are tremendously useful. Just by reading the headline I have a vague idea of where the review is going. I can read more, or not, as per my level of interest in the game. I say keep them coming. Read more

I would argue he sounds like Bruce Wayne normally. His normal speaking voice is waaaaay closer to his portrayal of Bruce Wayne than of Batman. Read more

But if Rocksteady had gone to anyone else than Conroy and Hamill for the voice work (and shout-outs also to the voice of Harley, etc.) then it would have really taken away from what they were trying to accomplish. I'm very glad they had a clue and went to the DCAU voice actors. Read more

I just bought it off of Xbox Live Video Marketplace. If I may ask, how much did you pay for the DVD set? Read more

I'd get the used. I'd receive the extra 5% EB EDGE discount, and I prefer used across the board because of the reduce, reuse, recycle element of it all. Read more

Glad to have you back, Mr. Dukakis. Read more

I paid 1380 points for each season of Batman: TAS, and just over 1000 points for each season of Batman Beyond. TAS was the better value (1380 for around 28 episodes per season = about 50 points per episode), but it's the older series obviously. IIRC, there were about 13 episodes per season of Beyond. So far I've… Read more

I just bought the entire series of Batman: The Animated Series on the Xbox 360's Video Marketplace (they're on sale this week). Can't wait to watch it again. Mark Hamill as the Joker FTW! Read more

How so? Just days ago I acutally *used* the blades system, then the NXE, then the current Dashboard, in rapid succession as I upgraded an old 360. I had to play with the Blades dash for a while as I set up networking, Xbox Live, etc., to get the system ready for updating. I can't see any functional difference… Read more

I recently upgraded an older 360 (that had been offline) to the current version. I played with the Blades a bit, upgraded to the NXE, played with it a bit, then did the final upgrade. The one I miss is the NXE, not the Blades. I'm looking forward to the next one, though. Metro user interface FTW! :) Read more

Doesn't the menu that comes up when you hit the Xbox Guide button have all of the functionality of, and a similar look to, the Blades dash though? Read more

I loved "Chalked", which Kobun assures me everyone hated. I found it to be a challenging, innovative, and interesting game. Everyone else found it to be unplayable garbage which was so hard as to be virtually impossible. *shrug* Read more

Interesting acquisition. It's been quite a while since I recall Microsoft buying a developer. They passed on buying Bizarre Creations and Harmonix which, while more expensive, also had a lot more IP. I imagine this happened because they feel it's strategically important for Kinect because of their success with… Read more
