Day 17 - Orphan Black is not back yet

(Source : isorphanblackbackyet)

"It’s easy to forget that Alison and Sarah, who have many scenes together, are played by the same actress. I’ve often found myself grasping for the name of the actress who plays Cosima, only to hit myself on the head and remember that Maslany plays her as well."

"Take away the physical distinctions of each of the clones — Cosima’s dredlocks, Alison’s bangs, Helena’s blond mane. Hell, even take away their accents. Even without the obvious markers, the characters are still remarkably different from each other, because Maslany brings physical nuances to every performance. Watch her hands. For Alison, they’re kept close to her face and chin. For Sarah, they’re fiddling with something. For Cosima, they’re all over the place."

"And to say Maslany leads the series is an understatement. She’s its cornerstone. She’s Sarah. She’s spiraling soccer mom Alison. She’s blood-thirsty maniac Helena. She’s science wiz Cosima. She’s Sarah-as-Beth, Alison-as-Sarah, Sarah-as-Alison, Helena-as-Sarah-as-Beth … OK, you get it. She plays a whole lot of characters and has a shooting schedule unrivaled by anyone else on television. But watch “Orphan Black,” and you might just need to remind yourself just one woman is behind so many characters: That’s how convincing she is. You’ll forget they’re all Maslany."

I thought to myself when I saw this, “no. This has to be some one being silly. This has to be something some one fabricated to make microsoft look worse and people just aren’t checking the source.”
NOPE. IT’S REAL.
AND IT GOT WORSE:

WHAT.

I want everyone to think long and hard on this information.
This means that you are not buying your games.  You are paying 60+ dollars to rent the games from Microsoft, and they can take their game back whenever they feel like it.
You will not own your game.  You will not own your console.  Essentially, Microsoft is saying “We can disable your games and cut you off from accessing your console whenever we choose to.”  Because a ban that locks your XBox Live account means that you will be locked out from all non-game functionality of the system, and by revoking your ‘licenses’ on all your games associated with your account, they can then disable each and every game you own for the system.  Leaving you with a five hundred dollar cable receiver.  Or, in the case of most users of the console, a five hundred dollar paperweight.
All because you accidentally walked into some online glitch and the rest of the players rage-report you for cheating.
This is unacceptable.  Buy any console but an XBox One.  Do not support Microsoft’s sudden belief that they own everything despite our purchase of it, and we have to prove we’re worthy of being shared with by paying exorbitant fees and jumping through constant hoops and hoping someone doesn’t report us for cheating because we made them mad in an online game.
Tell Microsoft ‘No,’ and do not give them your hard-earned money for what amounts to a video game subscription service with a $500 starting fee and $60+ dollar purchases.

Now it’s getting beyond ridiculous. If you planned to buy Xbox ONE, please don’t for the sake of future gaming.
