Podcasts about Microsoft Points

Welcome to The Best Games Ever Show episode 55: The best game with horse armour (but you can't have Oblivion) 2006 feels like a lifetime ago. I'm sure for at least some of you reading, it literally was. In which case you won't remember the utter stink that was kicked up over the concept of – get this – paying actual real money for in-game cosmetic items, on top of the money you'd already forked out for the game itself. It seemed unthinkable, until Bethesda went and did it, releasing the infamous Horse Armour pack for Oblivion for 200 Microsoft Points, the equivalent of about £2 in real money today.  The DLC was fairly innocuous in itself. Though hardly substantial, it added a short quest to the game directing you to a particular merchant, and eight different sets of equine armour similar in style to the player character variants available in the game. Though these are generally believed to be purely cosmetic, they actually generously increased the health of any horse they were applied to, reducing the chances of losing your mount in a fight. Though marginally useful, the DLC was dirt cheap and completely ignorable. By today's standards, it seems quaint that it would cause such a fuss.  But it was a canary in the coalmine for the gratuitous aftermarket monetisation of single-player games, and a fairly notable contributor to the fact that almost every conceivable release nowadays, 17 years later, is some kind of live service bollocks with three sets of premium currency and a battle pass. At the time, Bethesda was experimenting with a new idea, which had been made possible by the relatively new fields of digital distribution and microtransactions. Todd Howard probably didn't mean for it to be a Sliding Doors moment in which the industry chose the path to hell. But, in the 17 years since Oblivion's most infamous transgression, which games with Horse Armour have stood above the rest? What is the best game with Horse Armour, premium or otherwise, aside from The Elder Scrolls IV? This a question that I put to our regular panellists on The Best Games Ever Show, and in order to find out what everyone came back with, you'll have to watch or listen to it. Luckily, you've stumbled upon one of the ways of doing just that. Cor! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We have one huge talking point this week and a whole boatload of headlines. Lucky you!! Don't forget that you only have days before the voting is closed for the 2012 PodCast awards!!Feedback:Thank you for making one of your talking points about antivirus. I have been doing a lot of research on trying to find the best, and in everything I've found and everything I've tried I've noticed that the Microsoft Security Essentials, SuperAntiSpyware, and Malewarebytes, seem to be one of the best combinations as far as free goes. For Paid services AVG Internet Security 2012, and AVG PC Tuneup appear to be the best. I've tried Norton, McAfee, AntiVir, Avast, Symantec, Microsoft OneCare (before it became Security Essentials) Both Paid, and unpaid versions. It's good to hear what you guys use, and to have some validation that I've chosen the better ones to use.Thank You.Toven.p.s. Some anti-virus's won't allow you to install if you have another anti-virus installed. AVG and Microsoft Security Essentials don't seem to like each other much.

According to the notice, all references to the number “45” infringe on Microsoft’s copyright on the number. I don’t think we really need to add a punchline here, do we?Korean rapper, PSY, threw a free "Thank You" concert in Seoul for his fans which ended up literally shutting down the city as people flocked to the streets to see him. PSY has good reason to thank his fans; his hit “Gangnam Style” is currently sitting at #1 in the UK and #2 in the US. Good thing there wasn’t an oscillating fan there . . .Microsoft has decided to phase out its "Points" system used on Xbox Live and the Live Marketplace in favor of using normal currency instead. Previously, someone would need to purchase items using Microsoft Points, which were purchased at the rate of 80 for $1.00. This continues Microsoft’s latest trend of doing things that actually make sense!In an effort to cater to the geek demographic, Bravo has introduced a new reality show called "Silicon Valley". Initial reports compare it to The Hills, only with the words “synergy” and “web” used a lot more.
