My favorite so far (if I had to choose). > > Also, Microsoft just had their big XBox One keynote Pardon the OT, but: What the fuck?! MS went from their first...to "360"...to **"One"**? "No, Halo 437 isn't for the XBox1, it's for the XBox One." Between that and Win8, that's it: now I *know* Redmond has slipped into the multiverse's "asylum" reality. First, I thought "Wii" was an unimaginably dumb name. Then I think: "Holy shit, they actually managed to top it with 'Weeyuu' <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JElywbkSbY>, I didn't think such a level of dumb was even possible!" And now, the mere following year, Microsoft manages to out-Nintendo Nintendo itself by naming their *third* Xbox "XBox One"?!? What the fuck is wrong with these people? Is there *no* sanity left? I *used* to think "I miss when consoles has *good* names." Now I miss *that*: the days then they had *merely* generic names, or even merely *bad* names.
