Wow, Gigantic is really really pretty. Not sure why I decided to give it a go, but I'm enjoying my time so far.

Haven't bought the Necromancer yet because I don't know what platform to get it for. Choice paralysis between PC and Xbox.
 
This year whenever I finish a physical release game (which is extremely rare :/) I’m gonna randomly send it to one of you guys, with the stipulation that when you’re done with t you have to send it to someone else.
This is a fantastic idea. I don’t buy physical much this generation so passing the game along would be a great way to try stuff out and keep my collection from getting out of hand. Count me in, if we have a list going.
 
One of the new Xbox Live Rewards MyMissions titled "Being Dr Rewards" includes a bunch of awesome block buster titles currently on sale. It's basically buy $30 worth of good games + $2 of crap avatar items, plus earn 5 achievements in one game and get $13 back in rewards. Too many awesome games to list.

I personally picked up:

Ori and the Blind Forest $10

Inside $10

Edith Finch $13

Random Avatar item $2

Total = $35

Minus $13 back in rewards eventually will come to $22 OOP or ~$7.33 per game. Pretty happy with that.

I bought
Edith Finch
Tacoma
Inside
Manual Samuel

Avatar item.

Also Xbox live quests are easy this month
Login to the Xbox mobile app on 3 different days, play for 10 hours across any Xbox (says play multiplayer) and earn 5 achievements. Grand prize is 24-karat gold plated project Scorpio Xbox one x and you’ll get a mystery gift as well worth $10.
 
Does anyone else play for achievements like I do? I enjoyed trying to get 1000/1000 when it was a new thing during the 360 days, but it might be a bit detrimental for me as far as completing games. Not saying it's the only reason, but my achievement earning has slowed down significantly from the 360 to XB1.
Mine has sped up due to “arcade” games now having 1,000 achievement points and trying to beat my brother to 100,000 gamerscore. We are competitive like that. 😂
 
Ugh.
Literally the last thing I wanted to see coming into this college football season was an All-SEC national championship. Never been a fan of the Big-12, but I do respect Oklahoma's first team to 50 points wins mindset. (To their credit, Georgia won by following their pace to come from behind when they needed points.)

I think I'll make plans to start the well-regarded Thimbleweed Park next week rather than watch the battle of dominant defenses.
You say ugh, I say YESSS!

Trust me, we in the SEC eat up all of that SEC hate from everywhere else...nobody hates you if you suck. 😉
 
supposedly we can earn an extra hundred points a day if we download and use edge app this month

even though it says that (earn extra 100 this month) right above the mobile reward total for the day it still only shows 100/100 and using edge hasn't brought up any point totals yesterday or today

so dunno what's up with that

So I take it that games purchased just within the past two weeks are not eligible? I got Observer and Edith Finch as part of the holiday sales. Those two alone would have put me over the $30 mark.
 
Has anyone played Euro Fishing? I used to love Sega Bass Fishing.. Wondering if this is anything like that. I wish they had a fishing controller for the X1. I sold one of the 360 Bass Pro bundles with the fishing controller a long time ago for $100 (I think I paid $10 from Toys R Us' huge clearance a few years back).

 
Happy new year! I look forward to vowing, and failing, to vanquish my backlog once again! I'll start the backward momentum by making a ton of last-minute purchases in the countdown sale.

let's revisit what the word LITERALLY means.
I believe that we should. Although I am much more annoyed by when people use "literally" for situations that we already assume are literal, ie "I literally ate an entire pizza," "Thor is literally my favorite MCU character," or "I am literally lost on how to use the word literally."

 
Everyone has their own backlog and spending habits. We don't need other people adding to their shame pile.
Well never mind than. Nothing better than feeling like shit for giving away free stuff. Yay 2018
Nah, just take bardock off the list, lol.

Ugh.

Literally the last thing I wanted to see coming into this college football season was an All-SEC national championship. Never been a fan of the Big-12, but I do respect Oklahoma's first team to 50 points wins mindset. (To their credit, Georgia won by following their pace to come from behind when they needed points.)

I think I'll make plans to start the well-regarded Thimbleweed Park next week rather than watch the battle of dominant defenses.
LITERALLY

:D

 
This year whenever I finish a physical release game (which is extremely rare :/) I’m gonna randomly send it to one of you guys, with the stipulation that when you’re done with t you have to send it to someone else.

This is a fantastic idea. I don’t buy physical much this generation so passing the game along would be a great way to try stuff out and keep my collection from getting out of hand. Count me in, if we have a list going.
I actually think this is a great idea as well. We just have to make sure that we have people to "keep the chain going".

This would DEFINITELY give me more motivation to actually finish a game.

I wonder if we should start a new threat for this.

Maybe have a list of trusted participants that you pass the game on to the next person.

Maybe at the beginning of the month or every other month the person mails it to the next person on the list under their name.

hmmm..... The ideas are a-flowin'

A new threat?!

Seriously, though, if you do, call it Analog Game Share.

 
Is the Sunset Overdrive DLC worth the $12.50?
Do you already have the game itself, via GWG or otherwise? Because $12.50 is for the game and DLC, which IMHO is a good price. The base game alone is $7.50, making the DLC $6 extra. I paid $6 for the season pass on its own and it was worth that. If you already have the base game, though, it's not worth $12.50. Better to wait for the season pass to go on sale by itself.

It's not nearly as fast paced as Sega Bass Fishing, but it's a fun relaxing game; I play it online with a bud every once in a while, sometimes it has A LOT of downtime though, but it's a fun enough game, however do note that the DLC was handled awfully if you care, they released one dlc, then a season pass that doesn't include that dlc, so you have to buy the base game, a single dlc, and a season pass to get it all (I only have the base game but if you want it all it's a mess haha)

 
I think I'm going to pick up Furi with the last of my Destiny 2 refund credit. I've heard a lot of good about it.

Finished the fifth ending of Nier Automata last night. I still have some sidequests left but I clocked in at about 36 hours. I don't see how people were taking 50+ unless they were counting grinding to fully upgrade all weapons. Anyways, it's a fantastic game really showing how video games can be used to convey their story and themes in a truly unique way compared to other mediums. It's not perfect, but I think all elements were firing on all cylinders and this made the whole all that much stronger in the end. And while I don't think it's necessary to enjoy the game, having played the first Nier paid off later on in the story. Square going to Platinum to develop is probably the best decision they've made on anything in a while, I hope they use them again for the sequel but even if not I'll be on board, and I want to go back and check out Yoko Taro's older stuff like the Drakengard series.

Yeah, bought a digital copy here during its launch.

Guessing it's a ton of sidequests?

has anyone played the van helsing games? in terms of 3 vs 1 is one better than the other? 2 hasn't been gwg yet so not like I could play them in order

 
supposedly we can earn an extra hundred points a day if we download and use edge app this month

even though it says that (earn extra 100 this month) right above the mobile reward total for the day it still only shows 100/100 and using edge hasn't brought up any point totals yesterday or today

so dunno what's up with that
I had this same promotion last month. Mine always showed 200/100 once I was done with my iOS Edge searches for the day.

What I do on iOS Edge is this:

1) Head to bing.com

2) Click the 3 bars in upper right corner.

3) Make sure you are logged in. If not, log in.

4) Scroll down to the Trending on Bing section, and click one of those stories.

5) Click on those links, scrolling to the right to get new ones. Only need to do it 20 times.

It's two new areas with a handful of sidequests and a 'main' narrative arc for each. Overall, each new section is probably two hours of content, and completely separate from the main game. Also adds some weapons and other things like that. It's fun for what it is, but I'm glad I didn't pay more than what I did.

 
One of the new Xbox Live Rewards MyMissions titled "Being Dr Rewards" includes a bunch of awesome block buster titles currently on sale. It's basically buy $30 worth of good games + $2 of crap avatar items, plus earn 5 achievements in one game and get $13 back in rewards. Too many awesome games to list.

[snip]

Check out the full list of eligible titles here: https://rewards.xbox.com/en-US/faq/#missions
Hooray for last minute deals! Picked up What Remains of Edith Finch, Axiom Verge, and Little Nightmares.

*edit* I already think I overpaid for Axiom Verge. 255mb? That's not going to be X enhanced!


Searching the avatar store for eligible items was a huge hassle. I suggest google, or just buy these two items for $2 total since they're objectively the best:

3-D Glasses

Any word on updates to the myVIP rewards percentages? It seems like they make such a big deal about it each year, but so far I’ve heard nothing about a reset and my rank is still there.

Calendar year from last year will be rank for next year.

In September 2015, a year after we first launched MyVIP, we re-evaluated the program and made adjustments where necessary. In order to respond to our growing membership numbers and expanded regions, we adjusted the levels of MyVIP to better focus on offering additional monthly missions and other ways to earn for more members around the globe.

Based on community feedback from our members, there was some confusion about when and how MyVIP would be recalibrated on a yearly basis. In order to simplify and streamline the process, and to let you know exactly how much time you have to build your rank, moving forward we will recalibrate your Star Rank progress based on the calendar year. That means you currently have until December 31, 2017 to boost your starting 2018 MyVIP Star Rank, which will be based on your overall spend between January 1 to December 31, 2017.

In the future, we will consistently recalibrate your MyVIP Star Rank based on your calendar year spend from January 1 to December 31. We are also continually focusing on adding even more ways to Reward our most loyal VIP members with additional special offers and VIP Exclusives events, as well as with the addition of the new MyVIP page and expanded MyVIP experience.

I’ve read this. They usually have an “under construction” or other message on the VIP page. Mine still reads with the 2017 rank. I hadn’t heard if they had moved the reset date or done away with it altogether (as they did a couple of years ago).
 
You might want to mess around with it some more. I have a KU6300 and it also didn’t say it had HDR10 at first. There’s usually only one HDMI port that supports it and sometimes it can be the quality of the cable. I switched out my cable and it worked. Sometimes if you are going through a receiver it can prevent the XB1 (X or S) from getting the correct readings from the TV.

Took a bit of playing around but got all green checks on mine. The MU series is newer too so I’d be surprised if it didn’t at least support HDR10 (mine technically is an 8-bit panel but still supports it).
Even though I had already turned on HDR Color for the port I was using, turning on Game Mode finally enabled it.

Asking for a friend...

How does offline MP work in FM7? It just shows as coming soon when he tries to access it.

Does he have to get so far in the campaign or something?
Anyone, Anyone? Spybreaker, Bueller?
Yeah I don't know dude, it doesn't come up like that for me - I'm about the last cup category in campaign if that matters. I'm able to play Split Screen, if I had a local racer who wanted to but I live in out in the country lol.
