April 6th 2029 5:12 pm Both sides are quieting down as the final push is being made with a media blitz happening on all forms of media: TV, Internet, you name it, it’s being pimped out by MacSony or Microsoft’s media outlets (e.g. MacSony’s DirectTV/Yahoo and Microsoft’s DishTV/Google). Also, the bashing of the opponents’ machines is quite prevalent with both having catchy slogans about the other’s faults. MacSony’s tag is “Why get unplugged in Life? Stay Living.” Microsoft’s tag is “We can give you Life, others can’t.” The human race has not seen this kind of competition. Whoever wins this battle affects the control of information, and thusly, the world.
April 7th 2029 5:16 pm My inside man at Microsoft claimed there was a major failure with the machines today. A test run with a subject went wrong. The power went out in the section where the test was happening and the subject passed away. What does this mean? When our power plants stop working, we die? This is what everyone is worried about since the first plugged in game came to home. Yes, there have been deaths, especially the famed assassination of President Riley in 2018, but there is no risk when everyone is plugged into the system. Will this curtail the sales? Yeah, a little bit, but people will come… they will come.

Nothing new from my MacSony inside man. Sounds like they are still going through all the information still given to them from Nintendo. MacSony needs the information from Nintendo because it sounded like they were working on their big comeback project, which has now been transferred into MacSony’s Life. Countdown to Life and Living: 23 days
April 10th 2029 3:05pm One generous reader seems to have an inside in the gaming community that I lack, but thanks to whoever he/she is! I have received tickets to go to E3 and witness the awesomeness of Life and Living for myself. I will report back to my loyal readers. Countdown to Life and Living: 20 days
April 14th 2029 12:00 pm I’m here at E3 and hopefully we get to see the future today. Both booths are set up and the media is waiting for the official reveal of Life and Living. Supposedly this will decide the winner between Microsoft and MacSony.
