Please don’t buy this system.
cant you just turn the camera around or put a blanket over it.

Videogame consoles are not supposed to spy on you.
Videogame consoles are not supposed to potentially rat you out to the government.
Videogame consoles are not supposed to arbitrarily decide who sees what’s on the screen and what’s not.
I have never told anyone not to buy a videogame console, but in this case, knowing what I know about the Xbox One, I am seriously imploring people not to buy this machine. The console will not be consumer-friendly, and between the above and an always-on internet connection, how do you know your hobby isn’t siphoning personal information to…well, who knows who?
Suffice it to say, the Xbox 360 will be my last Microsoft console. I don’t care how many more Halo games get churned out.
Adding this here from my videogame blog because it’s too important, and the potential for Microsoft to spy on us, then report findings to the government if asked…yeah, no.
Spread the word!
If you haven’t read George Orwell’s “1984”, do so.
Seriously.
So another reason for the Xbox One to never ever be used as anything more than a bookend?
Oh.
This doesn’t even mention the bullshittery of their policy that if you get banned from Xbox Live you also lose the licenses to all of your games, meaning you can’t even play them in single-player mode.
Or the bit where they’re making people sign away their rights to class-action suits to pre-order the thing, which is downright chilling.
And it keeps getting worse!

One of my favorite things out there, hands down. I’m in love with the style and music score, gives me chills every time.
That was gorgeous.
I got goosebumps when the violin came into play.
Fucking amazing work.
This is the entire point of human existence, and that is terrifying.

After traveling more than 2,800 miles from New York City’s Times Square, the world’s largest LEGO model is now on display at LEGOLAND California Resort. The life-size LEGO Star Wars X-wing starfighter has been assembled by the theme park’s Master Model Builders inside a hangar to be on display for Park guests to enjoy through the rest of 2013.
Weighing more than 45,000 pounds and created from five million LEGO bricks, the massive model arrived in six freight trucks which hauled the 1:1 replica X-wing model across the country. The X-wing is 11 feet tall, stretches 43 feet long and has a wingspan of 44 feet.
I saw this on the news the other night and I knew I had to post it even if someone else had. Somebody just need to park this in my driveway and I’ll be the happiest old man ever!
