I don’t just spend a lot of time interacting with technology. I spend a ridiculous amount of time reading about it too. Since the tender age of 17, I’ve read one guy at least once a day, Thurrott’s Paul Thurrott. If you asked me why I still read him day after day, I wouldn’t be able to tell. I think it’s just out of habit at this point because it surely isn’t about the content. Take his shot at the Xbox Insider Program from earlier today.
Quick Words: Of Xbox Insider Program, Early Updates and Thurrott
I didn't realize it when it started, but Monday would be the first day of a four-day tech high for me. Maybe you don't know what a tech high is, but you've probably experienced one. It happens when all the stars align just right. You're researching something cool that you were only mildly interested in. Then, as if you're returning to a police station to claim a bag of money that no one else did, you get excited. Your heart flutters. You realize that the piece of tech you're looking at could change everything. Last Monday I purchased the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier. 
“why would anyone buy books from Microsoft when they can already get them in better places?” As this was coming from the same guy that has a 30 item collection strong movie selection in Microsoft Movies & TV, plus an extensive Xbox One games library with no disc, he was a bit taken aback.
This month's Ask The en, I take your questions on PlayStation VR and Nintendo Switch. Also confirm for the first time that Captain America is a lunatic.
I have to admit that I had a very hard time resisting the urge to start this month’s Ask The en with a quote from Albus Dumbledore’s end of term speech in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. First, I’m a geek. Second, it feels like only yesterday I was sitting down to pen the first 2016 edition of the column. It also seems odd that already we’re talking about holiday Xbox One price cuts, the last few game releases of the year and other random musings. Yet here we find ourselves.
I picked up my Xbox Controller and said, “Xbox on.” A few minutes later I found myself inside the game menu. The game has a very convenient screen for learning about new downloadable content. I saw a character skin that I liked and figured I’d download it. After all, I spent $100 on a game and Season Pass. I might as well take full advantage. 
If we're already paying full price for title, why is it ok for video game DLC to cost even more? I asked a few people they buy it.
In this edition of Ask The en, I take a random smattering of questions about everything from, why I’m excited about Watch Dogs 2 to what happened to a very, very cool promotion that the Xbox Video team used to hold every so often. There’s a few more were that can from too
Just to make sure that their bases are covered, every one major video game console makers has tried to shore up its defenses by betting on a cross-platform scenario. The PlayStation ecosystem has the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation Now. Nintendo’s Switch console will blend mobile gaming and console gaming. Microsoft is betting on the personal computer with Xbox on Windows 10.
