You and my father would get along really well. He is also an Xbox guy. Hate to say I prefer Playstation but I can understand the controller thing when you're on the road.

My husband is a PS4 kind of man... My son is an Xbox One kid. I am neither but appreciate these blog posts, they give me a heads up to what the man and child are going to be discussing while I sit back and roll my eyes. 

I like how you say "not cheap at $80" you're fortunate you don't have to pay New Zealand prices for games/consoles/controllers etc. $120 for a controller on average. And the husband dares to complain when I spend a fraction of that on Hanson merch, sheesh! *crying laughing emoji*

I've never had an Xbox or played any Xbox games. My sister thinks I'm strange, since she seems to be obsessed with her XBone. What, I like my WiiU and PS3 just fine... and my PS2, and the good ol' Nintendo! Oh, can't forget about the Nintendo 3DS!

Zac your so cool what a gamer man..:) I didn't buy xbox so I'd never had Xbox or played any Xbox games either..i only had PS2 and I used to play that one so that's enough for me..lol..but congratz to your new Xbox Zac have fun for it..-Bernadine

Gonna be real with you, I just love our XBox One because I can yell commands at it, and it does things.

Just FYI, it does not bring you a selection of cheeses and wine. No matter how many times, or how firmly you ask.

I really wanna try an Xbox lol I have the playstation 3 haha yes I'm behind haha. But I'm still undecided. This is why I still play my Nes, Snes, my sega and 64 haha ya can't beat them !!

that controller looks pretty rad. too bad I can't imagine buying a new Xbox One already :/

Look in your bookshelf for your lost game zac. Maybe it's in there

We've had the XBOX One since it came out - and sadly we mostly use it for NetFlix/Hulu/Amazon Prime because adulting is hard! By the time I get home I don't have it in me to get killed a bizillion times playing Call of Duty...because I totally suck.

Randomly generated Division missions should bring me back to that game for a while.

We Happy Few was the second best thing MS showed. Just hope it actually plays good. Looks like Bioshock with a more insane setting/plot.

Tekken 7's Heihachi vs. Akuma video was the best thing MS showed, but it's Tekken so...I'm sure it'll be fine, but I'm not overly excited about the game itself.

Titanfall 2 is gonna be what I go with for the holidays. Battlefield looks interesting but it comes out within a week of Titanfall. Winner = Titanfall.

Tried the Halo Wars 2 beta. Crashed 4 times before I could even start. Finally got into a game and it disconnected everyone after 10 minutes. Not a good look.

Super disappointed about the lack of backwards compatibility bombs. HOW LONG MUST I WAIT FOR BURNOUT PARADISE.

PS4 stuff looked ok but their conferences are ALWAYS "HEY CHECK OUT THESE AWESOME GAMES! Maybe we'll actually release them someday." MS showings always impress me more because the majority of the stuff shown will actually be in our hands in the next 12 months.

BRING US THE SCORPIO.

Why doesn't anyone want to play Hot Pursuit with you? I don't game very often, but when I do it's racing game for sure. Not bc I'm really good at it though, it's bc I suck at all the rest. :p

Pokémon games will never get old, ever. Period. Except I'm totally more of a handheld gaming person and not into the big screen...! Hopefully all off your games will live up to the expectation and hype!

Hot Pursuit is a rockin game - I don't get to play video games often (because as previously cited "adulting is hard") but racing games and sport games have always been my favorite.  I guess it's my closet competitiveness showing... :D

1) Serious Video Game lover and then some. NOTED
2)Experienced explorer of the world, NOTED
3)Loves to be in control. agreed. ;) oops, I meant ..
   A Controller lover- especially customed controlled. NOTED
      a) must fit nicely in your hand. NOTED
      b) prefers light &airy, not heavy &bulky to avoid pain. NOTED
4) You are hot pursuit-less. NOTED
5) If I  really want to see you break out in a snoopy happy dance and bring tears of joy to your eyes and pleasure to your fingers.. on December 25th or October 22nd or any date would be valid..I should seriously consider "bringing" you one/or all your "heart list." NOTE

How did I do....
did I target and get the key pin points accurately noted from this blog..
 (Remember: this is coming from someone who as I first read this and viewed the photos, the first and only thing that came to mind immediately seeing the big red X and the cirles..  was a game I played and loved as a kid called TIC TAC TOE where you throw little bean bags from a distance and try to turn over the X's and O's to get tic tac toe and win. Hahaha) truth.

very cool my mother loves to play you would get along it

My son works for Daybreak Games and his company sent him to E3, he's there today in LA. This is his dream job! He tried to make it as a musician, but had to find a way to support himself. We'll see what he comes home with!

I tried gaming a few times. Racing a go cart. It didn't work out too good! My hand/eye coordination leaves a lot to be desired! Most of the gaming around here is either in somebody's freezer or mounted on a wall and has antlers!

Even though I do prefer my PS4 over Xbox...I do totally agree about the controllers! Even more so because im small (and so are my hands) I'm used to it now but it drove me nuts when I first got my PS4. Very awkward. 

I'll stick with my Nintendo 64 so I can play Banjo Kazoo and Ocarina Of Time <3 

NFS Hot Pursuit is still rad. Which makes sense due to a lot of the Criterion (Burnout Paradise/Revenge) guys working on it.

correction..(yeah, I am one of those perfectionist, who as silly as it might be, when makes a mistake finds the need to have to correct it ;)

..it was a little early for me when I responded this morning to this blog and now that I am awake..I think the game I was called referring to was called Toss Across originally not Tic Tac Toe (I know you care to know that!haha)

I have wondered on occasion why you play Xbox's, I must say the PS3 controllers I use are okay but I am not usually playing for hours a day while trucking down the road. The Xbox ones are more user friendly and as far as custom controller - I'll agree. Well worth the 80.00 price tag for something that is truly yours and fits your hands/feel/wants!

Zac: "Because Everyone needs a good racing game everyone and a while, and my copy of Burnout is lost, and no none wants to play Hot Pursuit with me"

I 100% agree and you are very wrong about "no one wants to" because I'd totally play Hot Pursuit with you for as long as I could. I'd have to get a Xbox, set it up, and buy the game but hey, my husband HAS been talking about getting one...

@CaptainAmerica - I think of the NFS games I have, Hot Pursuit is one of the only ones where I played until everything was beaten. I <3 that game and Most Wanted. I really want the new Most Wanted but..I'll have to upgrade systems for that.

Why is Battlefield one not on your heart list? 

my husband was just talking about the new white Xbox the other night. Not sure we need another one (we have a 360 in the bedroom and a one in the living room) He still wants it though.
