    Do we have a quick primer on how to best leverage Alienware Arena? I'm doing the Daily Quests and spending time on the site, but feel like I'm missing out on a lot that could be running in the background while I take care of other stuff

    New Series S Arrived, old One X mailed out. Overall really happy with this decision as I can now play games in a matter of seconds upstairs just as I can downstairs. Having to rebuild/rescrape my KODI library is a pain, but this is giving me the reason to create .nfo files for all of my media...

    Fair. I have my Series X downstairs (Den) and thought long and hard between another Series X for upstairs (Living Room). I think I'll put Dev Mode on this so I can play through my non-Xbox backlog and use KODI for my film library (The One X was beginning to struggle). Really, I just wanted...

    Microsoft has the Xbox Series S 1TB model up for $349 (link) and I was able to lock in $130 trade-in credit for my Xbox One X. After taxes and shipping, it's coming to about $240 for the upgrade. The CAG in me says this is still higher then what I was hoping but with the market being what it...

    Yeah, I have a Series X in our Den and was nostalgic to hold onto my One X because I liked having the disc drive. But I haven't used a disc in years so I'm coming around to upgrading that machine. Just didn't anticipate console prices to increase but that's on me. I should have anticipated it

    I was hoping to trade my One X towards a Series S or X at some point, but I don't know how beneficial that'd be at this point

    Rolled credits on South of Midnight yesterday. Really enjoyed it and highly recommend it. Debating between going back Indiana Jones, as I only got one level in, or jumping into something completely different

    I really liked Chants of Sennaar and The Case of the Golden Idol. Great indie puzzle games that offer a reprieve from bigger titles

    Rolled credits last week on my first 'Witcher 3' playthrough. After 90+ days of that being my main game, going through the game blind, and making choices as if it were myself as Geralt, I got the 'Bad Ending'. And while beautiful and poignant, it was brutal. I'm trying to decide: Do I go...

    Same. I'm still working through 'The Witcher 3' for the first time and juggling Sniper Elite: Resistance Indiana Jones the massive backlog (405 Games) that I am trying to at least get to 50% completed on Glad I waited until I was older in life to play 'The Witcher 3.' First time I tried it...

    Took the plunge and bought FH4 Ultimate for the $19.99 price. Always wanted to own it but didn't want to gamble on a potential $10 savings and miss out on it being gone for good

    I really enjoyed the Xbox Showcase. Thought it was great and got excited about a bunch of games that I was otherwise 'meh' about. Indiana Jones: first time I actually got excited about it. It feels like it fits right in with the franchise Avowed: gameplay was fun to see. I'll be happy to try...

    So do I need to cash out my MS Reward Points or is it going to roll over into something new?
