Hey sorry I'm late to posting but we randomly had a power outage  :bomb:

Anyway back to what you guys want

Got #35!

elitewillie, I believe this is the second time you have won?

So you get get the 3 options

1. keep it for yourself

2. give it to someone else

3. roll it over to next week

The choice isn't easy

There's a lot of ugly things in this world, son. I wish I could keep 'em all away from you. That's never possible. 

 
Sorry for any confusion. I can't help but think most of it certers around people assuming I need or want more than one copy of any single game, which I do not.
yeah makes sense, I "ass me not u"ed you were talking about playing the same game, if all three consoles are playing different games go knock it out

 
On the Major Nelson list of digital games for sale, what does Arcade and Games On Demand mean?

Because others are clearly called Backward Compatible, so when I started buying games, I thought the ones listed as arcade or games on demand meant they weren't BC, but now I see that's not always the case.

I'm just kinda confused, I want Modern Warfare 3 but it's listed as games on demand and I didn't notice it on store parser when the sale hit...

You are correct. Major Nelson posted the sale info this week prior to MW3 being BC so he listed it as Games on Demand instead of BC.

I don't remember ever winning, but I already have the game so please just give it to someone else.

Enjoy next lucky person and thank you op for the awesome stuff.

OP can you see if I did win before now I'm curious.

https://majornelson.com/blog/xbox-one-backward-compatibility/

If you look here, they are classified in further detail. Games on Demand was 360 speak for full games on the marketplace that usually had a disc version as well. Arcade were closer to Indie-ish releases that were often only in digital format. Of course, there are exceptions due to price-based decisions and region-based content.

 
Hello,

Long time lurker. Wanted to say thanks to Bloomy for posting the sales. And to the other people who are giving away games. Great to see the niceness on an Internet forum.

Just finished far cry 5 and it was an ok game by myself but maybe the most fun I have had when I co op’ed the game. I would highly recommend if you can play with a friend.
 
Yea, and the DLC are each on sale for $10 so you can have the whole package of this 7 year old game digitally for only $45. Wow, thanks Activision, you sure know how to put on a sale!!
Hey, I agree with you. I was simply stating that MW3 had been on sale multiple times at $10. But when it was listed this week at $15, on its own (no sale for the other MW games or any CoD game for that matter), it was pretty evident to me at least, that it was going BC.

I wonder if MW2 is being kept out of the BC program because of the No Russian mission.

#RIPVader #AlwaysVaderTime

 
Ha! My wife was just looking at this exact chart on Saturday because we were researching baby poop.

Popular rumor is that it's being remastered.
You're right, forgot about that. But one would think it would've been announced by now. Unless Activision's not planning to release it alongside Black Ops 4 or even this year.

For Mixer's 1 year anniversary, they are offering a 1 month channel subscription and up to 90 days of a Pro subscription if you sign in between today and the end of the 28th and reach at least level 10 on your account.

https://blog.mixer.com/p/cb872095-282c-4201-94bc-049a930ac195/

https://blog.mixer.com/mixer1year/
It looks like the 90 days Pro sub for Mixer from the above promotion has come through. I noticed I was Pro and was trying to figure out how I got it.

The above links don't work anymore, but the one below does. The note on the free subs is toward the bottom of the page, and mentions that they weren't able to grant the Pro subs right away, but the channel subs did go through on the June 1 and expire on July 1.

Thing is, MS doesn't considers it a "problem". That's why we've never had a proper "solution". I think it has to do with the way the Xbox Store is structured in contrast to the 360 marketplace.
We need to get the people that were meme-ing on every BC post to release CoD Black Ops 2, to start spamming about purchasing 360 games with credit. If they really want BC to be a core part of the platform, they need to get the store fixed.

Nier Automata looks cool and I almost want to buy it to support these games coming to Xbox Town, but my backlog and Dark Souls addiction say to wait.

That Darkest Dungeon DLC looks cool, announce an Xbox release date damnit! Also, just release it now!

I'm going back and forth on nier and the crew 2. Would probably play both of them on release but can't make up my mind. I have the credit, but I also have the backlog. Just have heard such good things about nier and agree with supporting it to show similar games coming to xbox wouldn't be a waste.

Crew 2 open beta is available to download now and opens tomorrow.

 
MW3 had been on sale multiple times at $10.
Damn, didn't know this! When I check store parser and see a game on sale for a percentage more than it was already on sale, my rule is usually to say screw that and wait for it to eventually go to the lower price. I couldn't find the game on store parser so had no idea its already been cheaper, guess I should have figured but thought $15 was a deal for a new BC game. Oh well.

 
Thanks. I want to be somewhat blind but I’ve had a hard time finding tips and information that I want to know. I like having a plan I terms of character type and stats.
Depending on the build you want you can pick a build at the beginning and then change it to your liking as you play. I'd also check the Reddit Darksouls board they have some good help there.

 
So if I never got the mixpot should bother messaging customer service? Has anyone had luck with that or do they give a BS response?

My roommate just saw the message and preorder for outer wilds and I never got it. I put it on his xbox half an hour after putting it on my xbox so it's weird that one of us got it and not the other.
 
Their FAQ says to go to Xbox.com/mixpot. Leads to a part of their forum, and it's full of similar posts. I just posted there tonight and haven't heard anything

Just made a post myself.

I had to contact them about a month ago because I mistyped my email address in the redemption pop up on the rewards page (just email it to the email linked to my account) and I remember it took a couple of days for them to respond.

Considering they didn't alter the level system, you won't want to go blind for the first playthrough since you can't respec. They also didn't alter any starting class stats so Pyro is still the best starting class because it has the highest stat allocation for its level and doesn't lock you into any particular build that wastes stat points. Most builds are based around a SL126 goal, so typically you're looking at 40 VIT, 40 END as a baseline, then 40 into either STR, DEX, INT, or FAITH depending on your build. Put zero points in resistance and humanity, useless stats. If you do go a magic build, you'll need to factor some points into ATT to have more slots for spells; don't go overboard though since 4-7 slots are plenty. Other than that, just pay attention to what weapon you want to wield endgame and make sure your stats support it with whatever minor stat is required.

I messaged there Monday, got a quick response from an ambassador that stated a few reasons I may not have received it like not being logged in etc and they mentioned a cust serv rep could check to see if i should have gotten it. Posted back that none of their variables applied to me and could a rep check, but haven't heard back.
