Still waiting on Microsoft to let me play the games that I own that aren't on Game Pass on the cloud...

My guess is that this is the direction they are going, and this is how they maintain “backwards compatibility”. No need for the same chip architecture in future consoles if the plan is to just let customers stream their previous generation games through cloud.

Why oh why is it only ever the PC version of Lightning Returns that’s on sale

My other 360 consoles are boxed up. I’m mostly just curious. The only thing I was able to find said you can’t move installed disc games from the internal drive to an external because of licensing issues. I always thought it was weird that Deus Ex HR DC couldn’t be installed to the hard drive.

Interesting, I wonder if that’s the reason you can’t buy Deus Ex HR DC digitally and only the vanilla edition.

The Halo show really was so disappointing. Of all the backstories they could have adapted... Chief bangs a prisoner of war while his mom watches?

Chief’s mom or the prisoner’s mom?

Speaking of 100%-ing games, I just wrapped up all the achievements for A Short Hike (from Game Pass) It's a pretty relaxing exploration game with a few "find all the X" achievements that were a little frustrating and required a guide and one timed challenge achievement that took some effort because the controls were not jiving with my brain. Also, the camera can sometimes not be your friend. Still, recommend.

I feel the same way, nice little game. A trick I finally discovered during that timed challenge… keep your analog stick pointed in the direction you want to go. Don’t ever let the stick go into the neutral position otherwise it gets all wonky.
