Well, it was Microsoft's and Bethesda's turns yesterday, and my reactions are:

To my surprise, Microsoft opened with Halo. No, sorry, let me rephrase that. They opened with a tech demo of a game engine with which the next Halo game will be built.

Get a load of this manure!:

I'm sorry Microsoft, but I don't want your half-formed piece of digital crap.

Backwards compatibility with the Xbox 360 announced. Digital games will automatically begin downloading into your library. If you didn't have a bigger hard drive yet, well, they're basically saying buy one. (I've got 16GB left on my HDD).

OK, I don't know if this has happened to anybody else, but today I got screwed over by fucking Microsoft. As some of you may know, Microsoft has released the windows 10 update, and me, I signed up for the upgrade, but kept it in the background for when I was ready to install it, which probably was going to be two years from now. However, for the past three days, I have had a yellow exclamation shield which tells me I have an update ready to install, but every time I shut down the computer, no

As of this morning there are 12 chapters ready to go.

This morning something strange happened to my computer which had me in a borderline panic. It loads properly, I log in, I get the GUI ... and boom, I'm looking at a whited out window that I can't get out of. M$ help was no help, but it did eventually clear after restarting several times. And yes, an update got pushed to my machine last night.

So, you know how I have my main PC and my Surface Go?

Normally, I have both set up on my desk, and have to switch between using the mouse and keyboard on my main PC and the keyboard cover of my Surface.

So, here I am, tying away at the last section of a story I've been working on. Everything's going great; the story's coming along well, the dialogue is working, and I'll finish it in no time. Then something comes up and I'm called away from the computer. I come back half an hour later, and my monitor is showing the computer's log-in screen.

Oh s***.

Microsoft bought Bethesda Studios. This could either be really good, or really bad.

I was doing editing on my Endings collection, and I realized most of the formatting irregularities could be solved with a simple push of the button. And I somehow didn't notice this until nearly two years after the fact.

This is going to be a weird year.

IT'S FUCKING SEXY!

EDIT: I fixed my display settings, but now I need to update my sound drivers...

EDIT: I got everything squared away, and shit is awesome.

So, on Wednesday Microsoft released a Twitterbot named Tay.ai.

Tay is designed to engage and entertain people where they connect with each other online through casual and playful conversation," Microsoft wrote on Tay's about page. "The more you chat with Tay, the smarter she gets, so the experience can be more personalized for you."

Do tell how either of those suggestions are grammatically correct for that sentence, Microsoft Word, please do.

I'm used to Word's grammar check occasionally being squirrelly and/or too "by the book"...but this instance seemed comically bad given the sentence it was suggesting these corrections for.

TYT's YouTube exclusivity will end sometime this year. No release date given.

In Halo news, Microsoft was hit with company-wide layoffs today, including 65 or more people at 343 Industries. Most tragically, Joseph Staten has also left to rejoin Xbox Publishing.

I can't really say I'm shocked. You don't under-deliver for 14 months and not have it come back to bite you in the ass at some point.

So, I'm using Microsoft Edge, and I tried to start a new chapter for UME. However, when I clicked on the "New Chapter" button, it did... nothing. It didn't make the pop up to write the chapter's title appear. To be able to do that, I had to go to Google Chrome. Is it normal?
