Yea, the actuall hacking is much scarier. Stealing accounts is no joke.

MS has a team of Ninja's battling these kinds of problems. They'll figure it out. I'm just mad they made a bunch of programers probably come to work on Xmas.

The only thing I heard from the audience at The Hobbit was someone going "Oooo!" when someone, no spoilers, got knocked out.

I thought I remembered something about how they work, but now I'm not sure, so just go to Nintendo's amiibo page (http://www.nintendo.com/amiibo/ ) and watch some vids.

Yea, there's that, but sometimes I want to demand a friend play something with me and the only way to get them to do it would be to gift them the game directly. If I hand them points, they'll just get something else. What's a gaming dictator to do?

My neice, nephew and cousins were all playing with a fart machine. It was just a speaker you could hide somewhere and then trigger it with a remote. Was this the "year of the fart" or something? I guess those gag gifts never get old.

Ha ha! Now that would be funny. "I'm not chimping. I'm gaming."

I know there are parental settings imbedded in Xbox 360 for just this sort of reason. You can limit the time spent by certain accounts and such. I'm sure they're still there for Xbox One.

Gifting is so cool. I wish I could do that on the consoles.

I told him he could come into the room when it was bed time and just say, "Xbox off" and it would shut down. He liked that.
