Tasty Links for April 15th : Good Old Xbox One Edition
Tonight Kymberly and I gave an Xbox one to a friend of hers as a birthday present. She asked for one and missed playing Fable. We also gave her Fable : The Lost Chapters, Dead or Alive 3, Starwars Battlefront, Crazy Taxi 3, and Ninja Gaiden Black. An ex of hers took their Xbox when they split but she played the heck out of Fable, kicked many chickens and is feared throughout the countryside. She loves the relationship building and social interactions in Fable and has a sweet spot for all things mid-evil. It is a pretty good outlet and she loved the romancing and tending of wives.
She has not played Fable : The Lost Chapters and is looking forward to playing through it again with a good hero file and an evil villain file.
We all remarked about how well the Xbox holds up over the years and everybody there was impressed with how sturdy and reliable it is over six years on the market.

Because the girl on alien girl romance in Mass Effect made their little heads explode. (I wonder what the Xbox 360 installed base is like in Singapore)

The Xbox is sturdy and reliable, but it has not hit the 8 year mark yet. November will mark 7 years by my count.

You are right. That was a typo.
