    I'm having the same frustration. None of the 6 achievements in 2 dif games registered for the Weekly Rewards Quest, which is apparently going to break my streak. I tried the unplugging-hard reboot that was suggested above, but no luck. Any other suggestions?

    Do you mean the punchcard with searches over 3 days? I've done that every day for about a week and not a single one has registered.

    Yeah. I bought The Turing Test over a year ago but hadn't played it until last night when I started it for the ID@Xbox quest. It's a fun Portal-like (so far).

    CAGcast #592: CaG Clan

    Yes, please address this on the next CAGcast. This word is a famous example of a kind of reanalysis that's actually very common in English (and other languages) where the make-up of a word is reconceived as deriving from something else. For the back story on this word and others, check out...

    I'm thinking about giving Just Cause a try. I played a couple of hours of JC2 but didn't get very far. Is there any reason to play 3 or should I just jump to 4? I know that 4 didn't review well but it seems like that's mostly b/c people felt it was more of the same. I have Game Pass so price...

    Yeah I've seen this. They move like electric football players (the old school buzzing board kind). It's not a constant thing but seems to pop up in fire fights.

    Same thing happened to me.

    Has Cuphead ever been on Game Pass? It feels like one that might show up there eventually if it hasn't already.

    I got that message too a few days ago. When I went into the settings, everything was set right. So I just backed out.

    Finally got the last punch on the Game Pass punch card. The October games one was the hold-out. I ended up playing 5 different games (Split/Second, Lego Indy, Metro 2033, Shantae, Outlast) for an achievement or two in order to get the damn thing to count. I'm still having nightmares about...

    I was wondering the same thing. Maybe the HDR support that the PC version got recently?

    It might be that you completed the Bad Lands. You should have gotten 2500 points and there will be a reward (3 months of Game Pass for 0 points) in the Redeem section. The number of days needed for the 20 days of Live login doesn't show on the Rewards app on the xbox. I only see that when I go...

    Finally got thru the Bad Lands; seems like it was only counting about every other Live login toward the 20. Thanks to posters in this thread for the heads-up about finding the Game Pass reward in the Redeem section.

    The Game Pass punch card only appears in the Rewards app on the console for me. I wonder if you're not getting it b/c you didn't have Game Pass when the offer began.

    Update on the Game Pass punch card: When I logged in tonight, I had punches for FH4 and for the ID@Xbox game (Rime) even though I did both of those after the others.

    None of mine have been tracked on the punchcard either. I did Split/Second, FH4, Halo MCC, & Rime.

    If you have Game Pass, I recommend checking out Rime. I booted it up just to get an achievement for the punchcard and ended up playing the whole thing. It's not a long game, like 6 hours or so. It def takes some inspiration from Ico but thankfully no helpless companion along for the ride...

    I'm not sure how you would launch them from the punch card but I guess you mean pull them up in the MS store and launch them from there. I didn't do that but maybe I should since my achievements in Split/Second, Forza 4, and Halo MCC haven't checked off yet.
