Topic: Disappointment of the Day

Lemmy, David Bowie and now Alan Rickman.

Talk about a crap start to the year, with all my heroes being taken away, one by one.

The worse celebrity death, for me, was Robin Williams; I find it surprisingly tough to watch his more serious films nowadays.

😮 🙁 😢

I accidently dropped my T-mobile phone, and the screen is 86% shattered. Good thing the LCD looks good.

I just found out that my uncle passed away yesterday. I've delt with loss before, but this is the first time I lost someone really close to me. Plus my dad doesn't even know yet and we don't know how to break the news to him.

@PikminFan22: It's ok now, the family has calmed down. We took a big hit though.

@PikminFan22: So sorry to hear that, Baymax, I know it's a tough time...

@PikminFan22: Oh sorry you had to go through that. Hopefully you guys can get through these harsh times.

@PikminFan22: How long does a dog usually live?

From what I know, the bigger the dog the shorter their life expectancy.

Alan Young voice of Scrooge McDuck passed away today. R.I.P.

@Tasuki Aw!

Pure Xbox is closing down While I didn't spend as much time there as I do on Pushsquare or even here, I am still sad to see it go. It was nice to be able to go to an Xbox forum community and not have to deal with fanboy junk.

That's sad to hear about PureXbox, though I can see where it's coming from.

I think there were only 5 new topics opened in their 360 thread in the past year, 4 of which were created by me (whenever I got a new game).

Even their more active threads were quite slow, as it's not unheard of for even their General Discussion thread to go a week inbetween comments.

@RR529 Yeah I agree with all your points. I don't know why but Pure Xbox seemed to get alot less traffic then Nintendolife and even Push Square. I am not sure why that was. Maybe they're alot of more Xbox sites then Nintendo or PS sites or maybe it was due to the sales of Xbox Ones, but for whatever reason it's sad to see them go.

Having a writers block today.

...I totally forgot PureXbox was a thing. Rest in Peace, PX. Just like the day you were bo....coded.

I've had Writers block for 15 months.
...oops, wrong smiley. What's the bbcode for "Pent-up frustration"? EDIT: Oh, I know!

:Blueballs:

EDIT 2: ...I got nothin'...

The label on the inside of my 3DS case seems to have randomly stained my lovely white embossed cover plate.

Haven't exhausted options for getting rid of the stain, but rubbing with a wet finger certainly wasn't shifting it 😞

Just speculating, but as the youngest brand of the big 3, I would guess Xbox just hasn't embedded itself amongst the type of people that frequent forums. Nintendo and PlayStation have a lot more years worth of following.

A writers block for 15 months? That sucks, man. It also reminds me about my art block I've had for... gosh, I don't even know for how long. Darn, all kinds of these blocks totally suck!

That and there are a alot more Xbox sites then Nintendo and Sony, although from what I have heard the communities aren't that great. Also Xbox hasn't built up a wide world audience like Nintendo and Sony has. Japan the Xbox does vary poorly.

Yeah, MS is more of an American brand. It doesn't help that they continuously shoot themselves in the foot at or around launch for each new machine, save for the Kinect (and we all know how that story ended). Just doesn't build up the kind of consumer trust the way Sony and Nintendo have for all these years.
