I'm back 1 day and my PSN account got hacked. Had to cancel my card.

Someone triggered my 2FA a couple of days ago. I was wondering if there was some kind of breach.

Is there a specific criteria for getting the “play a pc game” quest in the Xbox app? I tried launching some game pass games via cloud streaming but they didn’t pop the reward. So I tried going through MS Solitaire, which is on my pc and that didn’t pop it either. I’d really like to get that extra 50 pts a day

I open up Rise of Nations for it.

The PC game needs to be Xbox Live enabled, which is why Solitaire works. The quest doesn't pop immediately. I've noticed there's a bit of a delay before it actually pops, like a few minutes. Not sure if using the Steam versions of Microsoft titles (Halo Infinite, FH5, Flight Sim, etc) work but I think it should since you're forced to log into Xbox Live on them. 

 

I don't believe cloud streaming works because you're streaming the console version of the game.

Just opening up solitare for 5 min does the job for me.

Windjammers 2 is a great game, but damn do my hands hurt from playing it.

Knocked out 16 achievements from Pupperazzi last night. Charming little game, that one. Probably do some cleanup to finish it off tonight.

They were able to take care of me this time. Reset everything, and refunded the money.

Mortal Shell is apparently back on GamePass.

My first souls like. I really liked the rogue like dlc too.

Somehow, Mortal Shell returned.

Glad I never bought it after it left.

After playing RE village, picked up RE biohazard for $8 and didnt realize already had RE1 and RE6.

I was a bit early but does seem a new controller is coming. Then again, patents doesn't mean it will come to fruition.

Well, guess this is it > https://www.theverge...-display-screen

I'm torn on Danganronpa. I just realized it's a game I'd actually like and naturally, it's leaving Game Pass very soon. I doubt I'd have any way to finish it before it leaves. I started it, but I'm tempted to hold off until it goes on sale and pick it up. Or maybe I'll forget about it entirely by then. Haha. Anyone who has played it have any thoughts?

[whitereflection]

If you have Switch, it was recently $2.99 there. Maybe wait for it to go on sale there again.

The only thing about this new tech that interests me is the last sentence in that article:
 

Now, who’s gonna get Doom running on it?

[briandadude]

The only thing about this new tech that interests me is the last sentence in that article:
 

Haha I know right. Like all third party controllers, no wireless option on Xbox. Dealbreaker for sure. Probably comes in at $250 anyway.

Man, gotta squint and get a magnifying glass to enjoy my porn on that thing...

I'm about half way through the game and it isn't bad, but it does make me feel my age with many of the characters because it does rely on abunch of anime teen archetypes that you've known to expect that younger people will relate to while being in my 30's it's much more different. With that said, the court room stuff of figuring out who committed the murders is incredibly fun, but the double edge sword of that is it keeps it fun by introducing abunch of gameplay mechanics each time and each and every time it does an awful AWFUL job of explaining them ("suck up this phrase to turn it into a bullet and use that phrase bullet to shoot a suspicious phrase." Wait? What? I Mean...How??). Also if you miss out on this on XBox, I was able to buy it on Switch for $2 during Christmas and it's also constantly on sale on PlayStation for under $10 so hopefully we'll get the same here.

Looks like 2.99 might have been an anomaly, this is the lowest I expect it to hit on Xbox. Probably not for a while too.

Wondering if Microsoft is even going to have an announcement of the GamePass games for the first half of January. Or if we’re just going to see one pop up here and there.

Solitare worked for me its really the only game I play on my PC on microsoft. Having a decent PC and Game Pass I should probably change that habit now.

Trial - Road - C600 Ford Retro Muscle - Used the 2010 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (767 894 962).  Has the light bar.  AI isn't tuned, so shouldn't be too much of a problem unless a majority of your team also comes in without tunes and can't drive.  Team won both races.  Person in a '93 Cobra won both, I was 2nd in both, but we were the only ones in tuned cars.  Others finished 6-7-10-12 in first race to squeak by, but 3-5-11-12 to take the second by a wider margin.

• Horizon Mexico Circuit
• Arch of Mulegé Circuit

EventLab - A800 Ford - 2 laps, about 1:40 per lap, no drivatars.

 

Avenida Speed Trap - B700 Ford Pre-1970 - 130 mph - Hit 135.76 with the 1965 Ford Mustang GT Coupe (712 804 244).  Started from the paved T intersection south of the Goliath.  Cleared it with the 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302 (109 426 222) first starting a bit further south, but that couldn't handle the turns in the speed zone.  ('69 Mustang is needed for Tuesday's daily.)

 

Riviera Maya Speed Zone - B700 Ford Pre-1970 - 100 mph - Hit 103.22 with the above Mustang GT Coupe.  Started from the paved 4-way east of the zone.

 

Midnight Muscle - Street - A800 Ford Modern Muscle - No problems with the 2018 Ford Mustang GT (163 310 707).

• El Pípila Scramble
• Fuera Del Camino Trail (rain)
• San Juan Scramble

Fording a Path - B700 Ford Classic Rally - Used the 1970 Ford GT70 (133 783 210).  Had no problems with the first and third races, but had to run the second one a couple times.  Despite the rally suspension, the car still sits a bit low and kept getting slowed down by the numerous streams crossing the route.

Photo Challenge - Fast travelled to the dirt road just south of the De Otro Mundo icon, switched to the 1965 Ford Transit, photo registered.

 

Collectibles - You'll find lanterns driving along the top of sand dunes in Dunas Blancas.  Probably out of reach of most cars, but pickups should be able to hit them without needing to jump.  I found 38 in my first drive through the area.  Expect they'll respawn when I play later in the week to get the other 12 for the challenge.

Treetops Speed Zone - B700 Ford Pre-1970 - 125 mph - Hit 141.25 with the 1965 Ford Mustang GT Coupe from above starting from the 2nd intersection east of the zone.

Does quick resume work between series consoles? I just started a game I had last played on my other console and it put me right where I stopped...

[Deadpool]

no, i did that with my series X. partially paid with credit and partially paid with CC

I did the same thing. I cashed in $250 in points and the rest got charged to my paypal. It was easy, fine and all represented on screen. 

[bardockkun]

I Know I'm late to the party, but finally got around to beating Halo Infinite last night with friend's in co-op and man, that's a stupid fun campaign. It kinda went to where I wanted from a Halo game single player after 2 or 3 from a gameplay perspective where it just takes advantage of it having a vast world you can explore with vehicles and running wild with it to actually be more open. Like last two games were fine, but they never felt they opened up so going from that to this is so much fun with four players. My only major gripe is I wish every Halo game ended with a race to escape whatever installation you're in because it's fun watching friend's mess up and fall to their deaths and die or get stuck as the timer ends.

Setting up my new Series X right now, and two things I did not expect:

What an absolute unit this thing is. I totally get the Kingpin jokes now

Also, my 8 year old saying “we don’t need another Xbox!” My wife is more on board with this purchase than he is.
