With the upcoming launch of the Elder Scrolls: Online, another edition has been announced! Originally leaked by Amazon, now confirmed by Bethesda and Game Retailers, the Elder Scrolls Online has been granted a collector's Edition called the Imperial Edition. The edition is priced at about $99.99 US Dollars, €99, £89.99 and AU$139.95. A digital edition is also available that is significantly cheaper, though it comes without any of the Imperial Edition's physical items. The edition includes a 12 inch statue of the Daedric Prince Molag Bal, a map of Tamriel, and a vast artbook with over 200 pages of illustrations from the game. To sweeten the deal, four digital items including the ability to be an Imperial, a pet crab, a white imperial horse, and the Rings of Mara, which allowed you to marry in Skyrim. Additionally, pre-ordering unlocks another digital bonus, a Scuttler vanity pet, four treasure maps, and immediate access to all nine races in the game. The PC/Mac version comes with one extra goodie, a five day early access bonus. After seeing this info, are you planning on putting down a pre-order? Source: GameTrailers.com

Much to player's disappointments, Titanfall on the PC can only use Xbox 360 Controllers. With the recent showing of the Limited Edition Titanfall Controller, which has received critical acclaim for it's design, players will be disappointed to learn that they cannot use that controller for their PC copy of Titanfall. This was no surprise earlier as Microsoft stated they would implement support for Xbox One controllers in 2014, but recently, an employee of Respawn surprisingly replied to the question of "Will you support the Xbox One controller on the PC?" With a yes. Shortly after, they deleted the message with a saddening "No," stating in an apology form: "We don't, sorry. I saw 'Xbox controller.' We support 360, not One on PC." Now just because Titanfall will not have Xbox One controller support on launch, does not mean it will not come in the future. Not only is a profitable move, but making it compatible as quite easy, as it's already been done by one Chris Gallizi, a hacker, who sorted out the driver situation. Has this changed your mind about getting Titanfall on the PC? Source: GameSpot.com Twitter.com

I can understand your frustration, believe me, I owned THREE Xbox 360s in the past, and currently own two Xboxs, a PS3, PS4, PC, and Wii. I know how difficult a platform can be some times. Three of my 360s went red ring on me, but each platform comes with it's own glitches, it is inevitable! Just because your Xbox broke doesn't mean that all of them are doing this, it's not strictly MS' fault, rather, just some bad luck. If you owned a white version, upgrade to the newer version of the 360, or, if you have the money, buy an X1. If not, Im sorry you've had a bad experience with them. I understand what you're going to, but complaining to MS and more importantly a 343i Community (You did read community before you joined right?) Isn't going to help in any way, shape, or form.

With the White Xbox One getting critical acclaim, Microsoft is deciding to release it to the public. According to a few Neogaf leaks, the Xbox One for starters is receiving an update sometime in March around the release of the critical hit Titanfall. The update will be the first major one on Microsoft's new console and will tweak certain features and fix bugs. These are mainly taking place in the social features and the party-chat systems, which seem to be two problems on the console currently. The following leaks deal with the Xbox One itself aesthetically. The rumors state the Microsoft will be releasing a white version of the Xbox One, which was originally employee only. This version received amazing acclaim by those who saw and owned the console. It only makes sense they would release this variant. It will be sometime during the launch of the popular hit Sunset Overdrive. Along with this, two other versions were leaked. A version without the disc drive inputted, currently being tested by Microsoft, and a 1 Terabyte version of the console, likely to be more expensive. Microsoft has been contacted, but have not currently replied. Which version would you buy? The white, black, 1 Terabyte, or digital-based Xbox One? Source: TheVerge.com Neogaf.com

Have a fantastic year as Well Onsokumaru, or if that is your REAL NAFE! -dun dun duuuuuun- Congrats on the MoM title again, another well deserving MoM, We've had a lot of those these past few years huh? ^Decode it for a special message for the MoM in pink!

I know this topic is probably going to get removed, but I needed this here, for my own sake and Justin's. This thread will talk about Justin Carmical, a famous YouTuber, who on Thursday 23rd, 2014, shot and killed himself. I want to say how much of a fantastic person Justin was. He always smiled, laughed, never a dull face or frown. He was a man like no other, and he seemed so happy. His channel mainly did import Japanese games, but did feature other content. He worked directly under Nostalgia Critic and Thatguywithglasses whom you may have heard of. He also often co-partnered with the famous internet star, Angry Joe, or Joe Vargas. I never knew Justin personally, I watched his videos once or twice and they were pretty hilarious, always got a good joke or two in. Now the controversial part... Justin's suicide. He had dealt with depression for some time, and on Thursday, his wife pleaded with him not to do it. Justin was a loved man, and it may never be known what drove him there. What we can do though, is help those who are dealing with depression. For Justin's sake, please if you or someone you know is dealing with depression in some way, direct them to a Suicide hotline or website. The people there are kind and more then willing to save a life. You will never know how much you're wanted, and never know how much we miss you Justin. Rest In Peace buddy. I'm putting this in spoilers, because the video contains some language, but this is a reaction video, and I promise you won't regret watching it. And before I go, I would like you to see an excerpt from one of Justin's streams. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tN60yFjO-g Thank you for taking the time to read this topic, and if you can take a minute to say a prayer for Justin and his family, I'd appreciate it. If you're dealing with Depression visit this link. Please donate to Justin's family: Fundraiser

Finally, someone else speaks their mind on this stupid fee. It makes sense for PCs and Macs, as that is the norm for MMOs on them now, but for consoles? Not only is this removal irrelevant as hell, cause I'm paying for PS+ anyways so I can... Ya know, play other games online, but it still costs a lot! PS+ for a year is priced at $50, doing that math, we can assume around $4.17 per month respectively. The Elder Scrolls Online is a whopping $15 per month! That's nearly four times what we pay for the subscription most already use. Even with $15 seeming low, add on the $60 plus taxation price tag and the full price to play the game for around the time the usual Skyrim player played that, which was 2-3 years. This amounts to a shocking $420 at least to play the game for two years, three being $600! Add in likely DLC and micro transactions and you could be paying close to $700 to enjoy the game for only three years? No game is worth that. And when the drop the fees on consoles, more people will buy it, I promise Bethesda.

As you requested, I made it light blue so it should be easier to see now.

That's hex, now you need to do a hex translation.

USE THE BINARY DECODER AND FAST!

What's that magical I couldn't hear you over the sound of ILLUMINATI!

By Bnus. Loooooooooooool. Your conspiracy attempts are futile, I can see right through them. Good play Daniel.

Tucker was on the Top 15 List for January twice, I told Bnus and he remembered that Spyro was supposed to be there so he was moved. Check, Mate.

Not currently but we CAN MAKE IT!

If we consider "cash-in" games by your definition, then all games are cash-in games. The way I see it, a company needs to make money. a Company needs to pay it's employees, who all have families of their own. I don't see anything wrong with them making Gears of War a flagship money-maker for the Xbox, if it's done right, who cares? Halo was a flagship game for the Xbox, and it was good, so no one complained. In short, yeah it is, but as said by Bnus, it isn't in a bad way.

Firefight in ODST and Reach was a dream come true, I even remember being back against the wall in Halo 3: ODST facing hordes of chieftains on that ONE FINAL WAVE, DEAR GOD! Spartan Ops was nice too... But it was lacking in variety and content. Firefight was fresh every time you played, and in Reach, being able to change settings, you could jump in with three friends and just start slaughtering grunts with gravity hammers... Tell me that's not fun. Spartan Ops got me excited at a few times, but I kept being thrust back into that usual "shoot this, press a button" rinse and repeat style it had. It showed one SINGLE glimmer of hope though, the beginning of the second half of season one. You are actually chained against the wall, turn around, look at your buddies, they look at you, explosion, one of you jumps out and the others watch as you assassinate a Zealot, THAT WAS AWESOME! But that was the only glimmer of hope it had, besides the cutscenes which were phenomenal. All in all, Firefight takes my vote.

I was actually first, following was BZ, Yoshi, etc... You have a point here though, even if I know getting rid of a political opponent is a good move!

This isn't really meant to parody Drizzy's amazing Interviews with the Stars of the Community volumes, which I recommend you check out. Rather, this is meant to spin-off that idea, taking stars of the community and getting their reactions on the latest news in the Gaming world! This volume, we interview the newest member of the News Group and an all around great guy, BeckoningZebra1! EK: What do you think of the recent announcement that both Microsoft and EA are paying to promote content for their games/consoles on YouTube? BZ: I think it's cheap publicity. Think about it, would you rather pay the price for a commercial on TV or pay Youtubers to promote your product for a cheaper price? Plus not only is it cheaper to pay Youtubers for publicity, it's smarter. I'd say the majority of people that watch commercials (who does that when you have a DVR?) don't believe everything the manufacturer tries to push. But if another consumer gives positive feedback on a product, the likelihood of the consumer to consider this product goes up for sure. So while I don't see a problem with them using YouTube as an advertisement method, I definitely will think a bit more when considering YouTube feedback. EK: Do YouTubers promoting the Xbox One or EA's titles give you the feeling that they are untrustworthy now? BZ: I don't know if I'd say untrustworthy. I'm sure people will take Xbox One and EA review videos with a grain of salt now that this news has surfaced, but as far as those youtubers reputation is, I wouldn't consider it to be tarnished or ruined. They may have some Sony fanboys flame them in the comments, but I can't imagine much more of anything else happening because of this. EK: What do you have to say to people complaining about this commercialization of products? BZ: I can understand why they would be upset. They're watching the review to get honest, unbiased, details about a console they know very little about and instead get someone who's telling them what could be lies. So there's plenty of reason to be upset with the Youtubers. EK: To people praising it? BZ: It was a brilliant idea from a business standpoint. It's saving Microsoft money and gaining the interest from viewers because of what used to be "trusted" youtubers. EK: Finally, How have your personal experiences been with Xbox One/EA games in the Next-Gen lineup so far? BZ: I have yet to purchase a next-gen console. I mean, I haven't even tested out a next-gen kiosk! But based off of what I've seen on YouTube (yes this is ironic isn't it?) I'm very excited to eventually purchase an Xbox One. With EA's next generation of games, I couldn't be more excited. Star Wars: Battlefront (III)??? Are you kidding me? A reboot to the greatest Star Wars video game franchise ever? Yes please! So that was the first installment of Reactions with the Stars of the Community, I want to thank you all for reading today. I also want to thank Zebra for being my Guinea Zebra for this project and for taking the interview. Tune in next week for another great volume of Reactions with the Stars of the Community!

It's happening soon all, I promise!

Yes, we're doing this again and no you cannot go to the bathroom. Now today, we are discussing the ever popular theories among our staff. If any of you remember the past thread, it featured something called the "Forum Revolution" which is what we shall be discussing. Notice the three members inciting the revolution and secrets were before the announcement of this revolution regular members, now, they have been brought into staff, a bit strange isn't it? Now I'd like to bring attention to other means of their promotion and how two more people are likely to be brought into staff sometime in February. This brings the most controversy, now the members with green near them, Beckoning and D-38 were among the revolutionaries above, not only that, but as shown, they made the list twice before they were promoted. Referencing this, I put this month and last month's common members in red, only three showed up, Silent Orbis, Maestro, and myself. All three of us have had the award both this month and last, similar to BZ1 and D-38, as well, Maestro and Orbis are large parts of the "Revolution" as well, could this mean they are next to be brought into the staff to snuff out this revolution? Now, here's something I found just plain odd... Twam had visited my profile? Why, I'm not entirely sure, but, it did peak my interest. Now most would think, just Twam looking at a member profile for a sec. While that may be true, I check all members who were currently online, Staff and Twam included to see if they had any anomalies on their profiles: Outlined in red are those I checked, each profile came up normal, no strange visits by Twam, or a mod, or even staff in general. A bit odd, isn't it? If Twam was just "Checking" random profiles, don't you think he would've done more then just one? Now, pointing to the only two awards I received that day, the 666 one and the Top 15 ones, I noticed something even stranger. The 666 one was delivered by "Twam" but at a much earlier time period, and the Top 15 award(s) were delivered by Drizzy_Dan, as well at an earlier time period. So no obvious or normal reason for the visit, so what gives? Update: After BZ1 posted, I noticed his name at the bottom go to Italics, something never done before. Update 2: Noticing what Anakin said, I added all the numbers of his number together, and it added up to 35, so naturally, I went to my own, Maestro, and Silent's profiles to do the same with their member numbers. Silent added up to 15, me to 25, Maestro to 18. When comparing these numbers, both Silent and My own numbers follow a number pattern with 35, being a 1, 2, 3 etc. Style pattern. This could mean that silent and I are next in line for staff, as we narrow the members down to two. Feel free to add theories as to the next conspiracy below.

Name: Edward Kenway Weapon(s): Dual Swords Appearance: Same as Edward Kenway in ACIV Skills and Powers: Parkour, Eagle Vision. Bio: Edward Kenway was a longtime member of the 343i City, but a few months into his time, he disappeared for quite some time, recently resurfacing as a secretive detective and News Reporter, having a hand in what news is published and who publishes it. He was also a guest at the new staff's inauguration and Drizzy's ban, making him a suspect.

Welcome to the Purple rank, you are one rank away from the best rank and colour ever... Dedicated! I smell Sparky coming up, Dedicated > Purple. Merry Promotion PBRabbit, you are deserving indeed!

This looks awesome bro, after this is over, we need to make an RP of this. I'm telling you it'd be a hit, cannot wait to find out... WHO BANNED DRIZZY_DAN?!

Lol, I doesn't look remotely right but I still love it dearly.
