I can not, for the life of me, understand this fucking interface. It is the WORST ever. 360 interface made sense, but was slowed down by age and an abundance of shit it had to load. What is the Juan's issue? It is a nightmare. It's like it was designed by a 13 year old. Everything is splayed about haphazardly and with no connection to anything.

That being said, I still like the system, the controller, and the way I can boot right back into a game the day after. I just don't know why they couldn't do all of THAT shit and keep the rest of the shit at least the same. At the very least maybe don't make it more confusing!?

If you don't like it now, you would have been hitting it with a hammer up until a few months ago. The Xbox One GUI was so bad at launch that it kept me from playing the console. The 360 probably had the cleanest and most intuitive GUI of any console so all MS had to do was not fuck it up with the One. What did they do?

And people wonder why I complained about it all the time. Yet you would have certain people claim they had ZERO issues with any of it and label me a fanboy. Fucking idiots.

My main gripe now is how I have to constantly sign in. Before it only seemed to happen with Madden. I would sign in when the console booted up. Then I would start the game and it would ask me to sign in again. Then if I went online it would ask me to sign in again. But now it;s happening with Sunset. I'll sign in when the console starts and the proceed to pick up the game right where I left off (love this). But then if I want to check the cheevos it will say I'm not signed in. If I sign in then the game logs me out and boots me back to the main menu. Ugh.

By the way, I sent you a FR Seth. I'm not sure if they still use the stupid "follow" thing where you have to follow me back (like Twitter) in order for us both to see each other.

There's supposed to be 2 emails - 1 with all of the backgrounds and stuff and 1 detailing everything you have done on Xbox the past year.

Some people are also getting the stuff Swarley posted.

I haven't got any emails but undid get the message Twigg got, and I also got a message saying I was going to get Limbo for free when it is released.

[MrBill]

I'm amazed that as a beta tester for XBL with a continuous subscription since the service launched that I have never even once got something for free in their giveaways. I mean throw me an XBLA code or something
