Game of the year: The community edition
The Xbox One subreddit have had extended version of game of the year, here are the results.
There we have it! How the best exclusive can differ from the best game of the year when they're both exclusives are beyond me, but that's how this works. I voted for most of these titles, not the Best Soundtrack, where I voted for Child of Light. And buyers remorse where I voted for Shadow of Mordor, otherwise the list looks pretty much as I think this year have been.

More water on the VR-rumor mill
Mock up picture by Wareable.com |
VR goggles may be a bit gimmicky or they may be the next real big thing in gaming. Either way we can sure hope for a some great competition between Microsoft and Sony next year, which will certainly be beneficial for us users.

A sneak peek at the Xbox App for Windows 10
The first looks at the new OS's app for Xbox gaming is thought to be an extended version of today's Smartglass App, in which you can now launch apps such as Achievements, Activity Feed and the Store. Speculation has already started that this app will replace Smartglass with the release of Windows 10 for phones as well as PCs and Xbox Ones.
A more extended version for the already great app that we have today would sure be awesome, we will see more of this soon, probably at their conference in Redmond 21st January.

Microsoft now accept your Bitcoins!
Today Microsoft announced that they now willingly accept your payment in Bitcoins. This is a huge deal for many, not only the ones who already uses the currency. Now, Microsoft isn't the first big company to accept the currency as a payment, Amazon, eBay and PayPal are some of the companies that already do this, but some over at Reddit argue that this time it's actually more important. Microsoft sell games, and they (sometimes) have a younger audience than the other companies that uses Bitcoin. They argue that this will result in a larger group of people who use the currency, and a currency being used a lot is a healthy one.
So, will Microsoft be the one big catalytic effect that will take Bitcoins even higher? Probably not, but it may result in Sony doing the exact same thing, competition being a major force in change and all. And if these two giant can change the mind of Valve CEO Gabe Newell, then I'm certain that Bitcoin usage will expand vastly, and fast!
Is it time to jump on the train and start using cryptocurrencies? Can you afford not to?
