1. Which manufacturer do you think makes the best special edition consoles?
2. No Man’s Sky looks awesome, but has it been overhyped? Has anyone played it yet?
3. What do you think the difference between a Geek and a Nerd is?

In reply to torrencedavis. Yes I do. I have a 3rd bedroom that i use as an office. The first brick was making clicking noises, so i purchased an off-brand one. The off-brand one sounds like i'm running a server in my room lol.

In reply to wizrl. My Xbox One brick is quiet as a mouse. You have proper ventilation?

Asking these questions before hearing the podcast so I hope I’m not repeating questions:

1. The Fertitta brothers bought the UFC for $2 million and just sold it for $4 billion. Greatest ROI in history? It’s got to be up there. So with Pokemon Go adding between $6 and $11 billion to Nintendo’s market value, if you were Nintendo brass, would you view this success as an opportunity to quit the console game and focus strictly on licensing your IP’s?

2. I’ve heard the XBox line of consoles being called the “shooter console” for years, and I know Tony has referenced it as such on the podcast before. So let’s say that opinion is your own perception of the XBox One. I’ve selected a few games from this year’s E3 presentation that aren’t in the FPS genre. What type of sales/reviews/whatever do the following games need to post for you to personally drop the “shooter console” mentality? The games are Recore, Sea of Theives, Scalebound, Forza Horizon 3, and I’m throwing in Cuphead. ( Feel free to edit the list, broaden the question, whatever…fanboys will not understand this is a hypothetical regardless)

Always enjoy the podcasts, guys! Keep up the good work and commentary.

In reply to Final_Stage_Boss.

1. The PS4 rest mode is awesome in my opinion, i use it mostly to charge the controllers. It useful when playing uncharted 4 to get past those loading times. I actually have it turned off on the XBOne because that brick makes too much noise.
2. If you’ve noticed, this wasn’t the case when GTA San Andreas was out. Maybe its because racists would rather see a gang banger than a vigilante hacker, which is typically played by white protagonists. And then they try to mask the racism by calling it “SJW propapaganda” when they get called out on it.

In reply to Final_Stage_Boss. 1. Turn it off. I had a power outage kill a ps3 harddrive before. 2. Don't care what people think, I'm still getting the game.

– How much do you think the Xbox Scorpio will cost? Will it be over $600? – $499 – $549. Can’t be too short as no real specs yet
– Would MS have decided to unite Xbox and Windows if the Xbox One was doing better? – Xbox One is doing fine. They would have done it regardless.
– What is a teraflop and why should I care all of a sudden? – It’s a unit of measurement for computing power. “a unit of computing speed equal to one million million (1012) floating-point operations per second.”
– What are your expectations for Suicide Squad? – Looks awesome!
– Are certain members of the Xbox community hurting their cause? – No more than certain members of the Playstation community
– What are your thoughts on Pokémon: GO? – it’s fun

1. Do you leave your PS4 in rest mode or turn it off? Why?

2. There was a backlash for the Watchdogs 2 protagonist appearing to be black. What are your thoughts on this?

Thanks guys for answering my Ghostbusters question. I know it was long Tony, but shit needed to be said.

Sony have gone too far this time. I don’t give a shit how desperate they are to have a big box office franchise, THIS IS NOT HOW YOU DO IT!

Wish Sony Pictures showed as much love for their films as the PlayStation division does for its games.
