It's like the new "Protoman Fence" 

Oh god it is.

Also apparently this is because you cannot swear on skype.

They'll ban you for swearing in an uploaded video as well.

Very classy, Microsoft.

So they're buddy-buddy with the FCC? Cool.

Haha, I haven't seen that one! That's fantastic!

It really doesn't Xbox Live Gold sense to make of use

Just when I think Microsoft can't get any worse, THEY KEEP PROVING ME WRONG.

[Sakura Leic]

Even if those things spontaneously catch on fire I bet it would still get worse than that.

[Quickman]

There is always lower, and worse, and more inane!

[Protoman Blues]

The other funny thing about it is that it says "Choose something else to play" when Skype is not a game. 

[Quickman]

It can be a game.

Yeah that is funny.

Should I get the torches, pitch forks, and violent feminists?

[The Great Gonzo]

May need a few gallons of bleach afterwards.

I sincerely hope that this is just one dudebro in the company unleashing years of pent-up, passive-aggressive vitriol and not what Microsoft as a whole thinks of women.

I hope so, but aren't those things supposed to be checked?

[Hypershell]

I do find it sexist to assume that a one-sided gaming appeal in a relationship works only on the appeal-to-men-appease-to-women angle.  But it's just AS sexist when the audience does it as it is when Microsoft does it: The green text is swappable.  For as completely idiotic and transparent as that letter is (I can only hope it is not meant to be taken that seriously, but with Microsoft you never know), there is no reason a woman cannot send it to a man; our own assumptions are the only thing that says otherwise.

Gaming's appeal to the sexes is not a matter of whether or not women can match up to some male benchmark that every man automatically hits; I know couples where the woman is into video games and the guy could give two shits.

[Quickman]

For the record, a friend of mine is utterly confused by my taste in games, and my Backloggery (should I get around to making one) would send him into conniptions.

"Oh my god, you played and beat THAT?"

In regards to that letter thing, I'm suspecting a hoax.  I'll need to hunt it down and see if I can find it from the source.  If so, then stay classy, Microsoft.

QuickEdit: Found their "doctor's note." Close enough.

Stay classy, Microsoft.

[Sakura Leic]

Man that's just too hilarious in a horrible way.

[Quickman]

Wow.  Just wow.

I can't wait for another episode.

[ViperAcidZX]

At a time like this, where's my bag of popcorn...?

For a limited time, bring in your PS3, Xbox 360 S or Xbox 360 E and receive $100 of Microsoft retail store credit.

It never ends!

[Quickman]

Hooray!

For a while there, I was starting to think that perhaps the ride was over and things were going swimmingly.

Not Xbox One related but I feel this should be shown here.

Well [tornado fang] that, I need $100 off a PS3 for myself. And who in the right mind would give away their Xbox 360 S/E for an Xboned?

So we finally have a reason to upgrade to Windows 8 even though there has been third-party programs (Start8, Start Menu 8, etc.) that has around doing that LONG before Microsoft implemented a start menu to Windows 8 since the OS launched? Cool.
But I'm sticking to Windows 7 Ultimate.

Just when you think it could end...

IT NEVER ENDS!
