Xbox 720 a major turn off?

After a series of tweets from Adam Orth, is it me or does twitter seem to just get everybody in trouble, basically telling everybody to deal with the fact that the Xbox 720 will always be online, fans of the Xbox line seem to be more than a little upset. Orth tweeted,
 "Sorry, I don't get the drama around having an "always on" console. Every device now is "always on". That's the world we live in." #dealwithit
First off never tell the world to deal with it when you rely on them buying a system that isn't out yet, and that's competing with two other systems, to just deal with it. When you tell people to just deal with it people tend to go buy other systems and point and laugh when you get fired and tell you to deal with it.

Really I don't think the fact that the system is always online is such a big deal, as Adam said most things are always online, and yes it is the world we live in now. The problem comes, when I want to play a single player game, I don't want to be have to be online to play it. Just look at games like Diablo 3 and Sim City. People are still playing them, but nobody is happy that you have to constantly be online to play them. I don't want to have to have an online connection to sit around by myself playing your games.  I want a choice, people like choices.

Also before we all freakout and decide that Xbox 720 is going to suck, they haven't done their official unavailing of the system yet. So we don't know anything that is really set in stone yet. We should wait until May when they do officially unveil it before we decide it sucks and aren't going to buy it.

Final Fantasy XIV The Road to Ninja

That's right a the road to being a ninja, because we all know nothing beats a ninja. So how do you become a ninja? First: You have to have a level 30 rogue, and a level 15 Pugilist. Second: You need to be done with the rogue story quest with the three treasures.( Found that out last night the hard way) Third: (unconfirmed) Do the story quest Sylph Management. You've probably already got it done, but still a lot of people told me I needed this one done. Forth: Once the first and second things are done go and talk to Jacke at the rogue's guild and he'll set you up with the quest chain for ninja.

Another Day Another Bounty 10.24.13

That's right it's a new day and another bounty has been released for all of us hunters in the Borderlands 2 Loot Hunt. Today's bounty is DJ Tanner , he can be found in Magnys Lighthouse . This hunt is another that is in the Captain Scarlett DLC. He should drop the " Tidal Wave " that can be used for the community bounty. Speaking of the community bounty, today's community bounty is Sand Worm Queens . You may remember fighting one while doing the My life for a sand sandskiff mission  early on in the DLC. A Sand Worm Queen is what leaps out of the sand and swallows Lionel's engine capacitor. I found the best place to find the Sand Worm Queen in Wurmwater just north of the Rustyard exit in a crater. You actually have to hope out of your skiff for them to spawn and they don't always spawn. I have a picture of the location down below.

Wildstar goes F2P

Another MMO is going free to play. That's right recently the makers of WildStar have announced it's going free to play. I don't know if it's just going completely free and just charging people for the extras in-game or if you'll still have to buy the game but they are getting rid of the monthly fee. Really you didn't need to pay a monthly fee, I know I didn't for the short time I played the game. All you had to do was buy (with in-game money) the special tokens that would let you in-turn buy game time. That's right, it's the system that WoW picked up, which kinda makes me wonder if WoW is going to be going free sometime in the future. hmmmmm. Anyway Wildstar is supposed to be going free this fall.  So if you haven't played or like me got tired of playing, this fall might be a good time to hop back into the game.
