Yes, we've talked about this before, but now you can hear it from the source himself. Thanks to your input and Bobbie's sheer doggedness, we get answers about the red ring of death, the UK's price point and the first-person-shooter-centric games library.
My favourite part, though, is his first question: on the topic of Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD, how does it feel to back the losing horse?"

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.
And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.
I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.

Would love to see a sequel to the 7th gen FPS campaign SINGULARITY from RAVEN Software..

Interesting podcast, with the side-stepping the whole red ring issue.
Yeah interesting indeed. Just finised listening to it. You know if I had submitted this, it would be real hot because of the title I would give it but yours is good as well..:P
EDIT: The sounds very modest. I mean going through the same process after his 360 RRODED says a lot you know.
But there's only 2 thing's I'd like to know.
1. The actual cause of it.
2. Exact number of reported case's.
But I'm guessing he doesn't answer either?
Honestly does anyone ever expect Microsoft to step up to the plate and answer the critics? I mean what would they say? It's a no win situation for them unless they are prepared to sink billions into compensating everyone and completely redesigning the machine (which won't happen). The only time I ever really see them addressing the issue is when they are preparing to launch the 720 and they are trying to address the inevitable hardware concerns.
He made an interesting point. 12-15 year olds associate MS with the XBox instead of Windows and all the PC products most of us think about when we think MS. I wonder in what way they perceive MS?
