In the spirit of Christmas, here’s my code for Elf, since I cannot *Shaq-fu*ing stand Will Ferrell. Enjoy!

Any help would be great. A little off topic but for some reason I can’t play games online with my Xbox or switch anymore because of lag. Speed test and my internet provider tell me the latency is about 50 ms but games and the Xbox tell me it’s much higher. Like 500 wireless and 250 wired. Had absolutely no problems with the internet until a few months ago when this started happening. Switched routers. Numerous phone calls to ISP. They say nothing is wrong but obviously it is. Any help would be great. I used to be able to play wirelessly online while my wife watched Netflix in the bedroom. The only change I can think of was we rearranged the setup of the room about the time the issue started but I can’t find anything that would be the problem. I am getting sick of paying for internet that don’t work when it used to work fine. Issue is with both consoles so it’s not just the Xbox or the switch.
 
I have friends and family that have been complaining about internet issues and I've also been having issues with my modem and router needing to be reset often... lots of lag and cut outs and stuff it's super annoying.

Wouldn't be surprised if ISP's are experimenting with throttling because of the steady increase in streaming and gaming and it's messing with everyone. haha

Odd that wired is experiencing a problem. What kind of Internet do you have? Cable, Fios, something else? Do you own or lease a modem? Can you power it off and leave it off for a bit?

 
I live in Wyoming so it is satellite but it worked fine for two years and then all of a sudden just quit. They supply the router and I have thought about buying a router but would be really pissed about dropping a ton of money on that and then it still not working. They gave us a new router as their first solution and it made no difference. Got another new one after that with no difference again. What’s really weird is when all the issues started our download speeds and everything went terrible. Could barely check email. That has gotten better and we can watch Netflix pretty well(not as good as before the issues) but the latency issue is terrible still. Thanks for any help.

Seems the the 5 dollar squirrel was a limited time offer and already expired. Got the email but clicking thru says more surprises to come. Thanks for the disappointment MS.
 
Don't know if it's been mentioned but just turned my xbox on and there was an ad to preorder ninja theory's game bleeding edge. Doesn't matter to most of us since it's launching on gamepass but thought it was cool that microsoft did preorder DLC that you also get if you play it during the launch week through gamepass.

Also get access to the beta through gamepass, interested in checking it out. It's only 2 separate days a month apart and one is valentines day.
 
I got my plans squared away for New Year's Eve, overnight stay in the hospital. Neck surgery and then 8 weeks of rehab. I am so crushing a backlog

I'll have xCloud with me, wondering if I should stock up on some Xbox funny money for Christmas sales tho

Sorry, no idea what it could be with satellite. Have they sent a tech out?

Must really want to empty out that FSA. Hope it goes well!

 
Don't know if it's been mentioned but there's a new December Quest on-line through MS Rewards for 500 pts. The majority of us should be able to complete this just through our MS Rewards routine.

1. I want in - Activate punch card

2. Complete 20 bing searches on your PC each week for 4 weeks

3. Complete 20 mobile bing searches each week for 4 weeks

4. Complete at least 3 daily sets every week for this month

I'll have xCloud with me, wondering if I should stock up on some Xbox funny money for Christmas sales tho
Our thoughts and prayers are with you for a successful surgery and speedy recovery!

In other news, I got the free $5 this time around. I decided to sign up for the xCloud preview two days ago and got signed up yesterday. I wasn't expecting such a quick turnaround, now I just need buy a phone/controller clip.

I recently played What Remains of Edith Finch via GP. Absolutely loved it and it became an instant favorite for me.

 
Got the $10 last week, and the $5 this week, and hundreds of games on Game Pass and Gold until June of 2020. It's like Microsoft is trying to buy my love, and I don't mind. Also, if they keep that 5 cents a day price for Game Pass Ultimate, that free $5 gift card will pay for 100 days of it.

Whoever in this thread recently said they couldn't recommend Titanfall 2 enough, thank you. I'm playing it on PS4 right now and I'm really enjoying it. Super fun game. I'm really glad I gave it a chance.

 
I think there is a lot of people that would recommend Titanfall 2. It's got an really interesting campaign that doesn't overstay it's welcome. If there was a flaw in it, I think it might start a little too slowly, but after that a lot of memorable moments. Why it's a shame we probably aren't getting a 3rd one anytime soon, but if Respawn keeps doing well they can probably do what they want. 

 
Don't know if it's been mentioned but there's a new December Quest on-line through MS Rewards for 500 pts. The majority of us should be able to complete this just through our MS Rewards routine.

1. I want in - Activate punch card

2. Complete 20 bing searches on your PC each week for 4 weeks

3. Complete 20 mobile bing searches each week for 4 weeks

4. Complete at least 3 daily sets every week for this month
showed up for me a few days ago but still not on my nephew's

his has a change your default search to bing on chrome for 500 points which I haven't been able to get to work like usual. They drive me nuts with those

 
Any help would be great. A little off topic but for some reason I can’t play games online with my Xbox or switch anymore because of lag. Speed test and my internet provider tell me the latency is about 50 ms but games and the Xbox tell me it’s much higher. Like 500 wireless and 250 wired. Had absolutely no problems with the internet until a few months ago when this started happening. Switched routers. Numerous phone calls to ISP. They say nothing is wrong but obviously it is. Any help would be great. I used to be able to play wirelessly online while my wife watched Netflix in the bedroom. The only change I can think of was we rearranged the setup of the room about the time the issue started but I can’t find anything that would be the problem. I am getting sick of paying for internet that don’t work when it used to work fine. Issue is with both consoles so it’s not just the Xbox or the switch.

I live in Wyoming so it is satellite but it worked fine for two years and then all of a sudden just quit. They supply the router and I have thought about buying a router but would be really pissed about dropping a ton of money on that and then it still not working. They gave us a new router as their first solution and it made no difference. Got another new one after that with no difference again. What’s really weird is when all the issues started our download speeds and everything went terrible. Could barely check email. That has gotten better and we can watch Netflix pretty well(not as good as before the issues) but the latency issue is terrible still. Thanks for any help.
How are you getting 50 ms latency via satellite intenet? That is physically impossible since satellites have latency of 500 ms or more due to the transmission distances between the earth and space.

See the following article:

skycasters.com/satellite-internet-service-specs/system-latency/

I don't think there is much you can do other than switching to a different ISP with better bandwidth.

Completed everything except the Subnautica missions, and my points total is already at almost 5,000. After only five days of searches. I'm guessing that this is the exception to the rule, and that I probably won't get this many points in the future without spending a bunch of cash. Those huge point deals next week even mention buying things in their descriptions.

I misspoke. We get internet from a dish on the house that looks at a tower. I think I said satellite. I could be using the wrong words. Anyways. I had no issues for two years and played everything online perfectly and then it stopped.
 
Ugh. I was busy last night so I didn’t see this til today. I got the email but the offer is already invalid.
Has anyone used their rewards points for Amazon gift cards? Any problems doing so?
Never had a problem getting Amazon cards with Bing points (the email with code shows up quickly plus you can always find the code without email on Bing under your purchaes).

Between Bing, MyPoints, and Shopkick I usually keep my Amazon account stocked with credit.

i never see amazon cards in the redeem section where do you guys see those?
From my understanding, not all accounts have the same giftcard options. For me, I see Amazon for 5250 points but I've heard others only have Target, a few others, and Microsoft (and no Amazon) as redeem options.
 
dang the goodle number generator loves the 40s

bobbytastic was nice enough to only take one so the other winners are

#46 super strider turbulence

#48 dorath

Both of you PM me your GTs

super strider choose between 6180 to the moon or zombie vikings

Dorath you will get whatever is left

sidenote, they had borderlands 2 and destiny 2 at 5 and the below if you like to have physical copies of games, they had a bunch of ps games too but I didn't look through them
Thanks! I really appreciate it.

Thanks. Totally forgot about the Amazon gift cards until the other day.I didn’t use my points for anything during the Black Friday deals, so I’m going to use some to finish my Xmas shopping.
 
Finally saw Terminator Dark Fate. It was a very well made action film, Linda Hamilton has still got it, but it just felt like high-budget fan fiction. Oh well.

I'm guessing those bonuses won't make much sense cost-wise unless it's something you already planned on getting, like a new Surface. Right now I'm enjoying the game of planning for seeing much $$$ I can rack up to potentially get in on next gen, since I usually don't buy new consoles at launch / wait for a revision or price drop.

Whoever in this thread recently said they couldn't recommend Titanfall 2 enough, thank you. I'm playing it on PS4 right now and I'm really enjoying it. Super fun game. I'm really glad I gave it a chance.
The last 3rd of the game is just nonstop action insanity. Really excellent sci-fi narrative.

Solidarity for neck injuries. Been life changing, thankfully I'm getting better incrementally through therapy.

Interesting that Penny Arcade gave 2 steps to the game this week too. It's a phenomenal game, easily in my top 5 of last year.

I know we were discussing earlier personal GOTY in no order:
Outer Worlds for being engaging, fun, and creative. So good I'm replaying an rpg for the first time in years.
Dauntless for being Monster Hunter on my level. I'm not good enough for all the new MHW stuff, so I enjoy the more flexible Behemoths in Dauntless. F2P with a fair marketplace if most cosmetics are a bit expensive. They sell consumables, but I can't imagine ever buying them as crafting is easy and resources in hunt are abundant. Season Pass is fair with rewards and progress, plus you get a guaranteed costume for the pass's theme (monk, pirate, vampire hunter).
 
Thanks for the well wishes. No FSA to wipe out, just insurance and holiday scheduling.

Someone above mentioned a clip for phone\Xbox controller to play xCloud and I'm ashamed I didn't about that. Any good suggestions where to look?

I didn't do that 5 cent game pass thing brought up the other day, but I saw it was on Slickdeals for 5 hours today and after 43 pages it looks like the deal is dead now:

https://slickdeals.net/f/13697612-game-pass-for-0-05-daily-mistake?v=1&page=43
Yeah, it officially was spread everywhere as of this morning.

My services page does still stay $0.05 for next billing. Hopefully we have some people in the thread that will start being charged in a month or two so we know what will happen.

I've reached out to Microsoft about this deal. Another user posted a screenshot of a Microsoft support agent confirming this is real but the support agent has poor English and punctuation which leads me to believe it's not a real chat.
Good ol' SD, killing deals every day.

Some people are really, really stupid. Why the hell would you reach out to official support multiple times to confirm an unadvertised 90% discount?

Oh well, my sub has 2.5 years left so I knew there was no point signing up for recurring billing that far out. Hopefully someone here gets a couple weeks of GPU before price hike.

Microsoft ToS per SD post said:
j. Price Changes. We may change the price of the Services at any time and if you have a recurring purchase, we will notify you by email, or other reasonable manner, at least 15 days before the price change. If you do not agree to the price change, you must cancel and stop using the Services before the price change takes effect. If there is a fixed term and price for your Service offer, that price will remain in force for the fixed term.

I Have a bunch of controllers from so many consoles, but hot diggity damn I think the Phantom White XBox One controller makes them all look like pure garbage. That is a ridiculously pretty controller, soon to be ruined by dumb sweaty hands.

 
Surf Embar is live in the Gears eSports stream.  Didn't go through for me in Chrome or Edge on Windows, but went through on mobile.

Those transparent ones remind me of the N64 days.
 
Guess I'm lucky I signed up for Bing Rewards years ago even though I never really used it prior to getting game pass back in June. I always felt Bing was inferior to Google and still do but suffer for the points. So I have options for Amazon, Walmart and Target as far as department store cards go.

That said I don't think I'd cash out for anything but Microsoft money because it's about a $15 difference per $100 and there is always something to use the Microsoft money on. I think I'm going to stockpile my points until next year and hopefully have enough to get a nice discount on Scarlett. I've gotten 75k since June, though I wasted about 10k on one of those monthly deals that they don't seem to be doing anymore, so having enough for about $200 towards Scarlett seems very doable.
