Debating on picking up Gravel. Know it’s not as polished as something like Dirt, but does it play decently for an arcade racer? Of course, if I buy it, it’ll be added to GamePass next month (or GWG).
I enjoyed it but I was able to complete it in a 5 day rental period from Family Video. I'm not certain about any DLC though because I played it very close to launch. I can't really go into detail about it because it was a long time ago but being a big racing fan I found it to be a fun experience.

It wasn't worth $50 but I think $12.50 is fair.
 
I’d appreciate some advice. Y’all been helpful in regards to technical problems before with each other. I’m concerned my Xbox One s is dying because I get the “black screen of death” here and there. Sometimes I’ve been able to just hold down the x button and get it to go to the main page. I’ve also had to try all the rebooting and restarting methods I’ve seen from Microsoft and YouTube videos. I can’t seem to find anything about figuring out when your Xbox One might be dying. I’d like to use it for some tradein credit before it does die. If I should trade it in, should I get another S or go ahead and get the X? Thanks to anyone that can help.
 
Depends on your warranty. How long have you had the S and have you tried factory resetting it?

Re: trade-ins
GS is running a cash = credit promo at the moment.
Value is $100. So you'd be paying $100 for another S or $300 for an X (on sale, of course)

Thanks. I’ve had this Xbox for over two years. I haven’t tried a factory reset. I’ve never seen that come up when trouble shooting. I’d rather not spend $300 right now but I’m sure I won’t get the next console until a year or so after it comes out.
 
Endgame was great. My wife and I hadn't seen a movie on opening night in years. I'm really excited for the new Ultimate Alliance game now. Fingers crossed it doesn't suck.
 
My one quibble in End Game is we didn't get the  "As long as one man stands"  speech from Captain America from the Infinity Gauntlet mini series in the comics. Even than there were enough nerd shout outs for me and I enjoyed it greatly.

 
Seeing Endgame tomorrow still. I just found out our local indie theater is doing secret, but public, free showings of Game of Thrones live, so my day for tomorrow is looking to be awesome.

arcade trip > Avengers IMAX 3D > GoT in a theater

 
Was thinking about picking up madden to fuck around with. But oh god those user reviews... i havnt played a madden since like 2016. Guess EA royally fucked up since then.

Endgame is great. Not flawless, but doesn't need to be. I thought it was the perfect culmination of the 21 movies thus far. First opening night movie I've seen since Attack of the clones (not big on crowds.)

XBL 12 month is sold out on the console app now as well. Should come back around again in 4-6 months, keep some points banked in the meantime!
Although I missed it by 600 points which I was hoping to get to Sunday, I learned a real lesson about patience from banking up all those points. I haven't been cashing out my points to buy Microsoft or Xbox gift cards since I was trying to save up for the 12 months of Gold, and I've actually been playing more games than I've been buying lately. So, I still see my loss here as a win.

EA Access is on sale right now. $21.39 for a year on CD Keys (https://www.cdkeys.com/xbox-live/memberships/ea-access-12-month-subscription?mw_aref=discounts&data1=sale). All the latest sports games, including Madden, are in the Vault already so you can get your money's worth going this route considering everything else that comes with it.

Decided to give brawlhalla a try last night since I wanted a break from overwatch but didn't want to start far cry new dawn yet. I had fun with it. Might pick up the unlock all heroes "DLC" next time it goes on sale. Achievements are definitely a grind but stopped caring about those in EVERY game I play a while back.

Enjoyed endgame just as much the second time as the first. I'd love to see a secret wars arc to introduce any characters that Disney may have/will eventually buy.
 
Original Xbox Update.

It is a 1.1 revision Xbox and the capacitor was indeed starting to leak. Cracked that off, cleaned the area and it booted back up with no problems. The Hyperkin HDMI cable has been working well with the games and dashboard I've been using so far. Only problem so far is a sticky A button on the S controller that came with it.

As for ESPN NFL 2K5, well, that game has been on a journey these last few days.

This includes an email saying the package was damaged and returning to sender and now an update that it should be here by 9pm.

It did not get here by 9.

Thanks for all the impressions on Gravel. Actually am going to get the special edition which has a bunch of those DLC cars that are better (plus some Ice and Fire expansion?).
 
Endgame: stupendous. And I don't think I've ever used that word to describe something. But the movie was extremely impressive in how it wrapped up 11 years of movie making.

Job hunting: rough. I'm on month 3 of looking but my wife has requested I not find something with a 5+ hour commute. She can't listen to that again. In the down time, I've been playing through my backlog and tackling 'Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin' for a sense of accomplishment/achievement in working through it.

Dark Souls has proven to be more enjoyable then job hunting.
 
I'm starting to think that I'm never going to get my 1000 Apex coins. Everyone else is receiving theirs and it's been around 2 weeks.
I haven’t gotten mine either, today I fired it up and played a few matches seeing if that triggers it soon. Haven’t played in weeks.
 
The Apex coins say before end of June so I would just relax, you could still be waiting a while. I don’t have mine yet either.

Wish you good luck in job hunting. I just got mine last week after nearly 2 months of looking. Unlike you I didnt take any hasty decisions and left the backlog alone.
 
My one quibble in End Game is we didn't get the "As long as one man stands" speech from Captain America from the Infinity Gauntlet mini series in the comics. Even than there were enough nerd shout outs for me and I enjoyed it greatly.
I prefer them having the scene where...
...we got the visual of that concept rather than an actual speech. It suits the unmoving page of a comic but would feel corny in live action. The scene of a battered Cap standing alone on the battlefield with a broken shield against Thanos's massive army is great, tells you everything you need to know about his character, and I feel like we don't need the speech to drive the point home.

 
Original Xbox Update.

It is a 1.1 revision Xbox and the capacitor was indeed starting to leak. Cracked that off, cleaned the area and it booted back up with no problems. The Hyperkin HDMI cable has been working well with the games and dashboard I've been using so far. Only problem so far is a sticky A button on the S controller that came with it.

As for ESPN NFL 2K5, well, that game has been on a journey these last few days.

This includes an email saying the package was damaged and returning to sender and now an update that it should be here by 9pm.

It did not get here by 9.
I'm glad that the clock capacitor information helped, and that you were able to remove it before it did any real damage. I removed the clock capacitor from my launch model, used that as an opportunity to dust out the rest of the innards, and it's been going strong since 2001. And I have the HDMI cable. I think it makes a world of difference although it doesn't really upscale the image except on the games that will do 1080p. You could probably open the controller to see what's up with that button if you're feeling adventurous.

I even break out my original Xbox at work every Christmas so my co-workers can do karaoke with my Karaoke Revolution discs. As far as I can tell, they look forward to it. It doesn't hurt that all of my co-workers are ancient like me (over 40).

Now a new backlog begins
 
On the OG Xbox sports talk, if you like hockey get ESPN NHL 2k5. The 2k series always played a better hockey game. EA threw all their money into graphics and paid reviews to bury the 2k series.
 
For people that have Game Pass quests, do you also have the Movie Punchcard? Just asking as That is all I usually have every month.
Yes. It's been there for at least 3 months.

For those that completed "Pedal to the Medal" how long did the 360 achievement take to pop? I got achievements from launching the game in X1 mode and 360 mode but still no check mark?

 
Good thing I've seen Endgame already. This community is generally pretty good about spoilers, but I guess there will always be a couple pricks here and there. WeeeDoo and snipermike can go choke to death on their own vomit.
I didn’t know a comment like this was allowed , here let me reply back... I hope that Navigator2001Plus is held down and violated by a broken bottle while his family is forced to watch from a burning building.

I never had a game pass quest until last month. I believe it's region specific. I am in Canada while I assume most of the people are in the US speaking of these quests including the ones mentioning the new one last week on the PC dashboard.

I remember having $20 spare dollars that magical summer of 04(all I had extra working minimum wage and being a student), then seeing NFL 2K5 for that same price. I was blown away by the graphics, presentation, gameplay, the crib, being able to add in custom sound clips for touchdowns, turnovers, etc.....just everything was incredible. And for only $20!!! I bought NBA 2K5 that Fall and even MLB 2K5 the next year in February. Such a shame EA torpedoed those franchises. Eff them

Also, good will stores and pawn shops are great for finding retro goodies(at least in Southern California). I was just scoping some yard sales yesterday in the I.E and got some light guns for the Genesis for a quarter each. Cleaned em up and both work perfectly

It hasn’t popped for me after multiple achievements weeks ago. I gave up.
 
I’ve never been too fond of the way GameStop does some of their business but sometimes they do have some really standup employees. I decided to trade in my old 500gig Xbox One s because I was getting the black screen of death too often. I picked up the 1TB Division 2 One s bundle yesterday and it had a loud buzzing clicking noise. Went back and to exchange it for the same thing and the employee said the price had come up but she could exchange it for the price I paid for it if I bought their warranty. That’s shady AF. I didn’t let her get away with that since it was under the exchange policy.
Anyone have problems with the S models and their fans?

It's always odd to me that when I'm between jobs I don't touch the stack of games that will take me years to get through, yet the moment I'm in a job again there's the pressure to get through them. Not like I can't balance the two either, it's just strange lol.

 
I've said it before, and I'll say it again - if your original Xbox isn't a 1.6, open the system and remove the clock capacitor immediately. It will eventually leak and destroy the motherboard which will render the system unusable. If you don't know what I'm talking about, here is a Reddit link that explains why this needs to be done.

https://www.reddit.com/r/originalxbox/comments/4c60th/reminder_if_you_own_an_original_xbox_remove_the/

If it's a 1.6, leave the clock capacitor alone.
Thanks for the reminder! Discovered I had a 1.4 and removed the capacitor yesterday. Didn't appear to be leaking...yet. Better safe than sorry.

 
Phantom Overkill and Dallas Supporter Gnasher are live in the Gears stream.

Edit: Paris Supporter Lancer is live.  Phantom Overkill was pulled back.

Tangentially OT:

GF and I have begun moving into our new place, and the corner of the living room I planned to set up my TCL / X1 / PS4 has an outlet which is two-prong only (naturally, it may be the only outlet like this in the entire fucking house). Is it safe to use a power strip converter (two prong to three prong), and will the power strip mediate power surges just as well without having a grounding plug? Or am I risking my electronics or a house fire if I go that route?

Also, saw Endgame last night, I have some nitpicks but it was excellent. Both middle fingers high up in the air at the folks discussing it two days ago, because it definitely spoiled stuff.

It is safe, but consider a ups between the outlet and devices. It's worth the money....
 
So Endgame only made $1.2 billion in its opening weekend. What a huge failure. Doubt Disney will ever want to another Marvel movie after this flop.
 
My house was built in 1906 with a mix of electrical but pretty much every outlet is 2 prong. I am forced to use those adapters everywhere.

We've lived here (Illinois) for 8 years through a multitude of storms and I've never had a single issue.
