I had Rage Against the Machine in my 6 CD changer a few months ago.

Not really dude, most people who watch streams have played the games before and people do stream using consoles and capture cards. It's a highly degenerate subculture.

No doubt. I was talking about the case of my dad's gf's kids only.

Speaking of going outside, I also don't like how even that has been destroyed. Modern day cars...

I'm gonna stop you right there. Getting in a car isn't going outside, you degenerate.

The irony that this is all posted on an internet forum by people who seem to spend large quantities of their day on that forum is incredible.

I only use a computer because I have nothing better to do.

Wait... What's this? Amazon.com buys Twitch for $970 million dollars. Amazon snatched Twitch away from Google? Well suck it Google!

Wasn't it only a rumour that Google bought Twitch...?

#96 Posted 25 August 2014 - 02:54 PM

No it was confirmed. This is great news, though if true.

#97 Posted 25 August 2014 - 02:55 PM

I never heard they actually bought twitch, just that they were in negotiations.

Tim Hortons is talking with Burger King to merge. Or maybe BK wants to buy them out, something to do with the smaller corporate tax rate up here. Thanks Obama.

My sister bought me one of these for $5 from a thrift store.

I've never been so excited to go outside in the past 8 years. I picked it up like I've been riding it my whole life. I'm already trying to do tricks with it.

Stop being off topic and focus on the topic a/b company acquisitions.

Microsoft plz don't purchase Mojang! The creator of Minecraft. Mojang could probably end up like Rare. It'll be better off if the developer stays independent or get bought out by Sony or whatever.

They'd only be buying the studio for Minecraft. None of their other games have been successful.

Disappointing. I doubt it'll go through, though.

Mojang is useless, Minecraft was a lucky hit and Microsoft can't make things worse.

I don't care about other games they make. I don't want Microsoft to ruin Minecraft. There's an effective login system that they could destroy, modding possibilities they could ruin, and microtransactions they could implement. They will make it worse.

While i agree, i don't want Microsoft to own the rights to Minecraft.

Besides some of the best games are one hit wonders, like Tetris.

They want Minecraft for a 5 year old app craze. No one will buy a windows phone just to play any game. Let alone minecraft, it's brutal on the iPhone, maybe playable with a tablet. What do they plan to do, take it away from ios and android, then force ppl to buy a windows phone to play hand held minecraft, that's a joke. Or what else, somehow Mojang has another Ace in the hole, so powerful it will sell windows phones, good luck. They'd be better off just giving away 2 billion dollars in phones so ppl might want apps. If anyone wanted minecraft on a windows phone Mojang would of done it by now.
