Every review that I have read suggests that game streaming services work significantly better over a wired connection, rather than Wi-Fi.

Microsoft will also have to figure out how to get wireless streaming to work...

An example of "PC-run-amok":

Toronto airport removes ad after activists complain it's 'insulting' to cows

As always, the issue isn't black-and-white.  At one end of the spectrum, there are people who look to take offence to almost anything.  At the other end of the spectrum, are people who feel they should be able to say anything they want, especially if others take offence to it.  In my experience, most people who are at either end of the spectrum, feel that everyone that doesn't 100% agree with them are at the other end of the spectrum.

In the middle, there are people who try to be nice to everyone, but recognize they will occasionally hear things they find offensive -- and are "OK" with that.  As one of these people, I feel that both type of people I described above are generally idiots.

Nope, not at all. I have zero desire to rely 100% on needing a strong internet connection. 

A strong, consistent, low latency  internet connection.  My internet connection isn't bad but buffering can hide the small hiccups for streaming video/audio.  That doesn't work for gaming.

I have to say, I am NOT excited by streaming games...

jus finished the main campaign in Tomb Raider... moving on to the Ass. Creed Double feature. Origins and Odyssey. Wish me luck! Gonna try and knock both these sucker out before Red Dead comes out 

As has been mentioned by a couple of others Origins is a 70+ hour game -- and Odyssey is reportedly much longer.

TBH, while I enjoyed AC:Origins, it is VERY repetitive.  I couldn't imagine playing two of them back-to-back.

You’ll be just in time to get back to 60fps 4k with Ray-Tracing enabled

Ray tracing will be niche for years.

For gaming purposes, at 4k, when are you going to significantly break 60fps where the 144hz is even worth it? Or am I grossly misunderstanding the point?

If you're buying the monitor to use for the next 4-5 years....

Bill Nye is some nobody on a channel no one watched.

I'd never heard of him either.

No, because you're actually a random guy. Bob Ross gave birth to Trudeau.

Margaret Trudeau gave birth to Justin. I think she’s more famous than Bob. Of course, could Jack Nicholson be Justin’s dad?

Just now, SaysWho? said:

 

Knowing who he is is a requirement to becoming prime minister in Canada, though.

I talked to Justin. He’d never heard of him either. 

My wife is Canadian  too. I asked her “do you agree that Bob Ross is an iconic character?”

Her response: “ I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

I'm playing lots of Forza Horizon 4.

Did the 14 day trial to Xbox Games Pass so I could play Forza 4 just for the Halo run... lol

Forza Horizon 4 is awesome.  That run is not all that great...

You didn't live in the united states?

Nope.  I grew up in Canada/Australia.

I think they've blocked this update from my PC because of my processor.

Thank-you very much Pikachu!

First sentence: what the fucking fuck?

 

Second: How could you even be disappointed in something you had no expectations for?

Some random guy from a network with no ratings, in a country I didn't live in?

Second:  His hair.

I had never heard of Bob Ross before clicking on this thread.  Left disappointed.

And WoW and FFXIV have PvP

They're not on RPS's co-op list either.... 

What about FIFA?  iRacing?  Forza 7? Madden?

TBH, I don't really like the list, or at least the title. Cuz, shit like WoW and FFXIV is Multiplayer and really should make the list. This is more like the top 25 competitive MP games, or something like that.  

In their write-up, they said that they excluded cooperative games, and had a link to the top 25 coop games.

List fail -- not a single racing game or sports simulation game on the list.

Highly doubtful.

Since, Phil Spencer promised BIG announcements, and they've already announced Halo/Gears of War...  What else big would MS have?
