I never understood why the polyps were never removed instead of removing the whole limb...

I.E., hand out timeouts or bans or anything.

EDIT - nvm, bans seem to have gone out.

I have Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition on disc. I am trying to install the DLC using disc 2 (Return to Ostagar, Wardens Keep) to finish before beating the main game. All I can install is The Awakening, and no other DLCs including post game ones like Darkspawn Chronicles, Leilana's Song, etc. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Also does not show in manage game, and also is trying to get me to purchase it when on the Xbox store. I tried googling this and saw many others with the problem, but no solutions.

Anyone else have this happen and know how to work around it??

Xbox One or 360?

I don't have this version to test myself, but in my research on other games with a second disc for the GOTY content, BC views that second disc as only the DLC, meaning you have to keep that disc in the system and play with a digital copy of the game to access all DLC.

Your situation sounds different, almost like it's recognizing the second disc as if it's the standalone version of Awakening that came out before the Ultimate edition. Does it let you play the main game with this disc inserted?

If you're on 360 then none of this means anything.

 
The Inside Xbox Mixpot appears to be going out.  Got notices for Trove Chromatic Cumulus and 3 days premium for World of Tanks.  Both also show up in my MS order history.

For just mentioning GFUEL? A great former CAG ad partner? Given that I've only mentioned them once and it was in a post where I was lamenting that I didn't get my whole Mixpot (just the Halo stuff), I would be truly sad for the thin skinned person that would have to ban someone or nuke a thread for that kind of thing.

I mean, what happened to the CAG where everything was happy and nobody was offended over such trivialities?

Whatever the case, I still haven't gotten all the mixpot offerings. Disappointed for that because I wanted to actually use most of it. Also, super glad all my fortnite stuff carried over to Switch!

 
Been out of town and lost track of the thread.  Read back several pages, but haven't found what the mixpots were supposed to be.  I streamed both events audio only since I was on my cell.  I did see that I got something for Trove and 3 days premium for World of Tanks.  Anyone have a list of all the glorious goodies we were supposed to get handy?

 
Currently gotten neither Mixpot. I think my dad's account got the second one WHICH I STREAMED FOR HIM on the same Xbox immediately after doing it on mine for a few minutes. Thanks, Microsoft.

You get a pre-order for a game that's out in 2799 and DLC for a few games.

All the TV talk made me look at my "meh" Vizio and want an upgrade. Probably the TCL series you guys and gals seem to rave about. Do I dare set foot in the now disgraced Best Buy after the GCU crisis? Or is it too soon?

Got to have something nice to go with the super-charged Phil Spencer X-Bone-X though.

Only problem is I am a CAG and that money is being saved for a Switch and games coming out. Decisions....decisions....

They're raving about it becasue they bought it and are patting themselves in the back. That TV doesn't NOT SHOW OFF THE CAPABILITIES OF THE XBOX ONE X. But it's worth it the money and it's a great TV. BUT, if you're buying if for the Xbox one x the Sony 900E is the MINIMUM TV YOU SHOULD BUY. Don't listen to me, compare picture quality and the TCL will by laughed out of the room by the Sony.

I don't know what you're buying it for, but if it's for the X one x wait a year or pay the couple hundred dollars more. You've been warned.

Just Cause 3 froze my Xbox One X, kind of like the Lego games do sometimes. Froze and went to the home screen. Nothing major was happening on the screen at the time, I wonder if it's just a bad coding issue.

If you watched the Xbox Conference on Mixer you received:

Halo 5 Classic Helmet Req Pack

Gears 4 skin

Tera DLC bundle

Pre-order for Outer Wilds

If you watched the Inside Xbox on Mixer the following day you received:

3 days of Premium World of Tanks

Trove Chromatic Cumulus (whatever that means)

Largely trash compared to last year. The Outer Wilds looks interesting but everything else is majorly disappointing. I would have been as satisfied if they only gave us the Outer Wilds; I wish more smaller indie games were included instead of advertising in the form of DLC.

Yeah you kind of seem like a troll and you don't know anything you're talking about so here check out a link. Don't have a dog in the fight since i have a Samsung KS8000, but for that 250-300 price difference I think that the new TCL is a very attractive buy and the stats just don't add up that it would be "laughed out of the room" by that Sony TV.

I have the highest end Samsung and a TCL. The picture is the same. I actually feel stupid for buying the Samsung after I got the TCL for my spare room.

You have no idea what the hell you are talking about. Look at TV ratings if you want.

There are two freebies in the Creation Club store for Fallout 4, for those that own it or playing it via GP:

Arcade Workshop Pack - Arcade machines for your settlements/homes so you don't have to play via Pip Boy.

Golden Retriever - Complete a quest to add this breed of dog so that you can turn dogmeat into a golden retriever.

Do you keep up with this? I'm not working on my playthrough right now (My girlfriend wanted me to do a New Vegas run through so she could see it) so I haven't thought to check regularly. Do you know how often it changes? I'm hoping I didn't miss out on the Pitbull breed, it's coloring is very close to my own Pitbull. I've also been checking Skyrim even less regularly, and so far the only thing that has been free is the stupid mudcrab dwemer armor. Three goddamn different times.

How in the hell can you say the TCL (P series and new 6 series in particular) does “not show off the capabilities of the Xbox One X)?!?!? It’s one of the few non-OLED TVs to have local dimming AND Dolby Vision (which while not on Xbox One X yet, is a premium 4K feature). Don’t take our word for it. Read just about any review of them.

My TCL laughs your Sony 900e out of the room for not even having Dolby Vision.

I haven't seen any mention of the Lancer being fixed yet. If it's not in your Ready to Install list, did you already download it? Guessing it would show up as "Exclusive Microsoft Studios Skin", since that's what's in my order list on the web site. Haven't downloaded it myself yet.

They're raving about it becasue they bought it and are patting themselves in the back. That TV doesn't NOT SHOW OFF THE CAPABILITIES OF THE XBOX ONE X. But it's worth it the money and it's a great TV. BUT, if you're buying if for the Xbox one x the Sony 900E is the MINIMUM TV YOU SHOULD BUY. Don't listen to me, compare picture quality and the TCL will by laughed out of the room by the Sony.

I don't know what you're buying it for, but if it's for the X one x wait a year or pay the couple hundred dollars more. You've been warned.

Had I known about the TCL before I bought my OLED, I'd have chosen the TCL. The price to performance ratio on the TCL is way better than the OLED.

 
RIP Xbox Live Rewards. I'll never forget winning like $200 in the Free to play sweeps last year. The emails just kept on coming. Was a member since December 2010. Earned 125,000 points since they switched it up a few years back. Thinking back to what else I've won off the top I've my head; the forza 7 VIP, Holligan car pack, a copy of minecraft story mode I traded away, and more than a few random xbox gift cards. All in all not a bad deal.

In the sixty or so days I've been unbanned from Microsoft rewards I've redeemed around $25 of rewards so hopefully it'll be as good or at least more consistent than the previous program.

Just Cause 3 froze my Xbox One X, kind of like the Lego games do sometimes. Froze and went to the home screen. Nothing major was happening on the screen at the time, I wonder if it's just a bad coding issue.

Put around 25 hours in on an S. Never had any freezing but a few slow downs when there were a bunch of demolition going on. Read many posts about people having frame rate/freezing issues. Even with this, still a very fun blow stuff up game.
 
I'm in the market for a new dipping sauce to go with my nuggets. Everyone's been raving about szechuan sauce. Dare I venture into Micky Dee's to see what all the fuss is about?

But it's worth it the money and it's a great SAUCE. BUT, if you're buying if for the NUGGETS the HONEY BBQ is the MINIMUM SAUCE YOU SHOULD BUY. Don't listen to me, compare SAUCE QUALITY AND SZECHUAN SAUCE will by laughed out of the room by the HONEY BBQ.

I smeared the SZECHUAN sauce all over my crappy TCL tv. It still is a POS so I busted it up so it would fit into the trash where it belongs. Switched back to my Sony 32" Trinitron from 1985 as my gaming monitor.

Seriously though I think I will pick up some szechuan sauce today and give it a try (on the chicken nuggets).

I counted my physical PS4 and Xbox One games after I got home from work today. I own 42 Xbox One disc games and 37 PS4 disc games. I shudder to think how many digital games I own, and I will never have enough space to install the physical copies.

I do not need Gamepass.

Yuuuuuuuuup. Was about to pull the trigger on the 6/$30 deal, but then realized I've had GP for probably 6 months already... installed maybe 10 games... and have played only one (State of Decay) for about 15 minutes in that time. That plus the fact that subs have readily been available for $5/month on this site, and I can stand to wait and purchase one month at a time if there's something I really want to play right away

This too. Never thought I'd be a digital guy, but my Physical X1 collection is exactly 1 game, and my PS4 collection is exactly 2. I do own hundreds of digital games, though. Crazy to think I own about 20 X360 games physically, waiting for them to go BC. Digital sale prices on games that are a year or two old are too great to pass up

 
I can't justify game pass either, it seems like such a good deal but the games I love I still like to own, like when Halo Infinite comes out I'm sure it will be on Gamepass but that is one I'll be buying to own forever.

Xbox stance on BC has really made me a customer for life. I buy my Indies on Xbox because who knows how long before Nintendo turns off Switch online and I'm sure all will be unplayable on the next console.

I feel like my digital indie games on Xbox will still work on whatever the next console is.

Nobody tell him it's the same on PS4 and (most of the time) Switch, k?

PS4 games can be installed from the disc without the Internet's help. The updates have to be downloaded.

And the Switch costs too much for me right now. Call me when they release the Switch Lite/Micro/XL or whatever they're gonna call it.

It's an extra step but you can install off the disc on the xbox if you disconnect from the internet.

 
I don't know what the hell happened in this thread, but CaptBrannigan wins my post of the month with that McDonald's post.  Had me cracking from sentence 2.   :applause:

On topic, I waited for pay day today to pick up a couple games, but it's been so long I forgot which ones and the list is gigantic.  Forza Horizon 2 was one, but I'm scared of the GWG/Game Pass threats it faces.

 
With the mixer stream free gift does the game have to be exact? Like if someone is streaming the deluxe or edition of game with DLC, is it only that version that the gift will work on or can the standard game work also?
