If anyone is looking for an Elie controller backup check this one out


You get the paddles that you can program on the fly (though you can't save different profiles, it does keep the changes if you power off), interchangeable sticks, trigger settings, and a nice tension to the sticks. There is a detachable housing for the individually detachable paddles.

It's only a little more expensive than a standard controller ($80), and comes with a case.

It feels pretty good too and so far it's a recommend. I've been pleasantly surprised. Kinda a no-brainer for those who can't get their hands on an elite...
 
As previously reported...Bloomberg is saying Microsoft is in talks to aquire Discord for $10 billion.

If true kind of makes the Bethesda deal seem like pocket change.
 
Why would a chat be worth $10 billion?
Userbase is over 300 million registered accounts. It's widely used for gaming and many other things. Integration points and prospects for data mining are very good. Don't know if it's worth $10B or not. MS has screwed up acquisitions like this in the past tho (see Skype & Beam)....Skype was pre-Satya (not that everything he's done has been successful but he has been way better than Ballmer) and Beam was post but had small market share before acquisition so was a bit more of a gamble and they didn't really try to aggressively build/promote it until it was too late.

Not quite Tails’s hue but close enough...

Anyone for tennis? Speaking of which, Sega needs to release a new tennis game.

Speaking of that, why hasn’t MS tried to make some of their own sports games again? I’m sports licenses are not cheap to come by now days though.
I remember playing in tournaments in Links on XSN. I feel that was a little ahead of its time. Like to see a return.
