“that said? in my experience happiness/not-feeling-trapped-by-where-you-live is vital to writing, period. in my experience you can muddle through it but not for long and, fuck, it’s a heavy price to pay. if you’re unhappy — get out.”

Microsoft officially pulls DRM from Xbox One, announces new policies

Your Feedback Matters – Update on Xbox One

Last week at E3, the excitement, creativity and future of our industry was on display for a global audience.

For us, the future comes in the form of Xbox One, a system designed to be the best place to play games this year and for many years to come. As is our heritage with Xbox, we designed a system that could take full advantage of advances in technology in order to deliver a breakthrough in game play and entertainment. We imagined a new set of benefits such as easier roaming, family sharing, and new ways to try and buy games. We believe in the benefits of a connected, digital future.

Since unveiling our plans for Xbox One, my team and I have heard directly from many of you, read your comments and listened to your feedback. I would like to take the opportunity today to thank you for your assistance in helping us to reshape the future of Xbox One.

You told us how much you loved the flexibility you have today with games delivered on disc. The ability to lend, share, and resell these games at your discretion is of incredible importance to you. Also important to you is the freedom to play offline, for any length of time, anywhere in the world.

So, today I am announcing the following changes to Xbox One and how you can play, share, lend, and resell your games exactly as you do today on Xbox 360. Here is what that means:

• An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games – After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360.

• Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today – There will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360.

In addition to buying a disc from a retailer, you can also download games from Xbox Live on day of release. If you choose to download your games, you will be able to play them offline just like you do today. Xbox One games will be playable on any Xbox One console - there will be no regional restrictions.

These changes will impact some of the scenarios we previously announced for Xbox One. The sharing of games will work as it does today, you will simply share the disc. Downloaded titles cannot be shared or resold. Also, similar to today, playing disc based games will require that the disc be in the tray.

We appreciate your passion, support and willingness to challenge the assumptions of digital licensing and connectivity. While we believe that the majority of people will play games online and access the cloud for both games and entertainment, we will give consumers the choice of both physical and digital content. We have listened and we have heard loud and clear from your feedback that you want the best of both worlds.

Thank you again for your candid feedback. Our team remains committed to listening, taking feedback and delivering a great product for you later this year.

Don Mattrick, President of the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft.

youcantcancelquidditch:

the assassination of franz ferdinand was actually the most hilariously botched assassination attempt of all time though like i can’t even explain to you how badly it went i mean there were six guys and the first one chickened out and the second one forgot to factor in the delay on a hand grenade so it exploded like three cars past the archduke’s so the guy took a cyanide pill and threw himself into a river, but the cyanide was expired and the river was six inches deep so the police just pulled him out and took him off to jail and then everyone else basically gave up and headed home, and then the driver of the archduke took a wrong turn and the car stalled next to the last of the six guys, and he was just like “what a crazy random happenstance” and started world war one

The Necklace
by Eiluned (brbshittoavenge)

Rating: Mature / R
Summary: She saw the necklace in a store display, and it reminded her of him.
Tags: Post Avengers (2012), Established Relationship, Love, Sex, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Symbolism, Angst, Pre - Captain America: Winter Soldier, Necklace Fic
Notes: It looks very much like Natasha is wearing an arrow necklace in set pics from Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and I (like every other clintasha writer) wanted to write fic about it. Here’s hoping this fic isn’t proved horribly wrong when the movie comes out, heh. Enormous thanks to the Hive, as always, for hand-holding and cheerleading and beta reading this thing. Feedback is always appreciated and will be given cookies.

You can also read this fic on AO3!

Natasha knew all too well what S.H.I.E.L.D.’s psychological detox program was like. She had gone through it twice: once when she had first defected to the U.S. and a second time ten months later, when she had a relapse back into her Red Room brainwashing. She never wanted to go through it again.

And she was giving serious consideration to busting Clint out of it right then, to running away, changing their names, and never setting foot into a S.H.I.E.L.D. base again.
