Bill Gates supports Microsoft CEO parting w/ the Xbox Division + Shaq Fu Wii U + COD Advanced Warfare Wii U maybe + Yadda

Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella would have the approval of Bill Gates himself if he parts with the Xbox Division.

This doesn't mean it will happen, but it likely takes some weight off of the CEO knowing that Bill would support the decision. We spoke about this awhile back when Satya was appointed the CEO, but until it happens... its only a potential decision that may or may not happen. I think that if the Xbox One doesn't do as well as it could to be considered successful... then it might be sold off (hopefully landing in the right hands).


Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn's campaign exceeded its goal... so expect a Wii U release!

Looking forward to the game... and if it rocks, I hope it does well. Based on the talent they have at the studio, the potential is there for this to be a masterpiece... and we feel that it needs to be. If they want the studio to be strong and grow as a powerhouse known for releasing great games, they can't start out hitting a wall, and since these are seasoned pros i'd be shocked if we get otherwise get a poor quality title.

I'd probably present this like a movie, it has comedy elements, and various locations that will have a story to tie those places together, so we shall see. They gave some really good rewards for the backers of this game, and based on the fact that some of the rewards includes incorporating character models of backers into the game, etc... this game won't exactly be done soon (soon), so stories may surround some of the characters made after backers.


FCC's Tom Wheeler responds

Tom Wheeler sent us a response today... and its definitely appreciated, but lets see if the collective responses actually make an impact over the highest bidders seeking control.

"Thank you very much for contacting us about the ongoing Open Internet proceeding. We're hoping to hear from as many people as possible about this critical issue, and so I'm very glad that we can include your thoughts and opinions.

I'm a strong supporter of the Open Internet, and I will fight to keep the internet open. Thanks again for sharing your views with me." - Tom Wheeler (Chairman), FCC

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare may me released on the Nintendo Wii U also

This image was supposedly found in the source code.

According to Charlie Intel, they found Wii U listed in the source code of the COD: Advance Warfare's website. Perhaps it will be released on the console, but that's still to be determined. There are some people who feel the game shouldn't be released on the console though... because they feel that the system wasn't made for games like COD. ROFL

A console able to play multiple genre's... can play games if they're compatible with the platform and programmed to comply with the controllers. If the developer chooses not to develop a game for a set platform... or it simply lacks the capability (i.e. Trying to port Super Mario 3D World to the NES), then it is what it is. The Wii U gamepad is used to play available COD games on the console, as well as the pro controller, and even the wiimote & nunchuk are compatible... and the options have gotten plenty of praise (especially gaming with the gamepad off TV). So those that feel that the system shouldn't have specific games... here's a tip... "Just don't play the games you don't want to play on a specific platform", problem solved. One of the things I think is awesome about the Wii U versions... is being able to play local play without having to share the freaking TV with another player (one person can play on the TV and another can play on the gamepad... if that's bad, then bad is awesome). If Advanced Warfare makes it to the Wii U, I hope to see some cool ideas carried out for use on the gamepad.

If you have yet to play the available COD games on the Wii U and wanted to give them a whirl... check them out:
COD: Black Ops 2... you can grab it new for less than $15.
COD: Ghosts
