Yesterday was Microsoft’s big reveal of their next home cable box, er, console. Introducing: [Xbox One](http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/05/xbox-one/?ref=killscreen.com).

Each unit will ship with a new version of Kinect — this one can even [track your pulse by monitoring the change of pigmentation in your face](http://techcrunch.com/2013/05/21/microsoft-confirms-that-the-xbox-one-will-come-with-an-incredibly-sensitive-new-kinect/?ref=killscreen.com). It’s like the biorhythm ear-clip for the Japanese-only release of [Tetris 64](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris%5F64?ref=killscreen.com), only all the time for everything!

Stephen Spielberg is [involved in a live-action Halo TV series](http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/steven-spielberg-working-halo-tv-series-xbox-one-6C10015363?ref=killscreen.com). The big question: Will Master Chief be more Captain Quint, or Peter Panning?

Microsoft also announced a [partnership with the National Football League](http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/21/microsoft-lands-nfl-partnership-for-xbox-one/?ref=killscreen.com), prompting this slightly awkward conversation between President Don Mattrick and NFL Commish Roger Goodell. If your idea of fantasy isn’t *Skyrim* but picking Drew Brees over Peyon Manning, this is good news.

Xbox One will also [play games.](http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/21/4351412/xbox-one-quantum-break-game?ref=killscreen.com)

And Sony counterpunches with [this teaser video of their next console](http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player%5Fembedded&v=QjXU1anoC5Y&ref=killscreen.com), the PS4\. The good news: We finally see the system itself! The bad news: We need to make an optometrist appointment for our collective near-sightedness.

Lest they be forgotten, Nintendo’s deploying some serious counter-programming: Behold, [the world’s first crowd-sourced flatulence.](http://gameandwario.nintendo.com/crowdfarter/?ref=killscreen.com#2)

And for all you PC enthusiasts uninterested in locked-down living room boxes: Less than 48 hours remain for Jagged Alliance fans to [help fund Full Control’s Flashback reboot](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2079547763/jagged-alliance-flashback?ref=live). Javiar O’Neill tempts and teases below; if you like what you see, show your support.

*Feel free to remain optimistic and kind.*
