So Microsoft announced this morning that Cloud Streaming is coming to XBox One before Christmas and will include the ability to stream games at Series X levels on an XBox One. That includes Series X enhancements for games that XB1 can’t achieve natively, and games that aren’t even being released on XBox One. F***ing incredible

As a surprise, the Quake remake, Quake II and Quake III Arena are all available on Gamepass right now! As someone who never really played the very first Quake (played a demo from a Computer mag - fps was literally under 10). I'm looking forward to giving it a go.

So what are everyone's thoughts of Flight Simulator? For me, it's neat.... but I probably won't play it much. It's very impressive but in the end it is a flight sim. Maybe the Top Gun and Reno race updates will introduce something different.

My three months of Gamepass is about to run out and kind of trying to decide if I want to renew it right away or not. I think Gamepass kind of just isn't really well suited to my general playstyle when it comes to games? I'm a lot more partial to continually revisiting the same games or sticking with what I know than just random experimenting so I've not been getting terribly much use out of it; I think the entire time I've had it the only things I've actually beaten on Gamepass are Alan Wake, River City Girls, and Hades, though keep meaning to play more Like a Dragon and Destroy All Humans.
Granted by now I've kind of figured out how to game the system as much as possible when it comes to Microsoft Rewards anyway so seems fairly unlikely I'd actually need to pay for it anyway but wonder if I'd be better served saving the rewards points for buying something I feel more confident in rather than subscribing to a service I've barely been using.

So my Xbox updated and now I'm getting a black screen of death when loading up. Looked around and the only fix is apparently to do a factory reset, which will delete all my saved games. Furious.

One of my friends had the exact same issue a couple of days ago. No idea if she's found an alternate fix yet.

Managed to get my Mass Effect save back from the cloud, but my older games there's gonna be no chance.

Managed to get my Mass Effect save back from the cloud, but my older games there's gonna be no chance. I keep all my games on external drives. Only things on the internal storage are apps and whatever game I'm currently playing, which will get moved externally once I'm done. That should limit the damage if I ever get caught by whatever screws the system up.

That whole situation really sucks, sorry to hear.
On another note the Games With Gold for next month are Warhammer Chaosbane, Mulaka, Zone of the Enders, and Samurai Shodown 2.

I had what is refered to as the black screen of death...the fix is surprisingly rather easy when you know after the fact of course lol.
Basically you have to factory reset your console.
1. Power down console by holding power button for 5-10 seconds. 2. Unplug power from the console and leave unplugged for at least 30 seconds. 3. Reconnect power to console. 4. Hold the Bind & Eject buttons on the console and then press the power button while continuing to hold both buttons. 5. Wait for a second power chime (can take 10-15 seconds) and then release Bind and eject. 6. Select the Reset console option from the troubleshooting menu and select the option to keep your installed games/apps.

Before it gets delisted due to expiring licenses next month, I went ahead and grabbed the ultimate edition of Forza Motorsport 7 off of the Xbox store for only $20, an incredible deal when some of the components of this bundle are still individually priced around the price of this bundle(the VIP DLC is only $2 cheaper and the Car Pass DLC is like only $7 more).

I haven't bothered updating my Xbox yet. Going to wait until there's confirmation.

Grabbed the Tomb Raider reboot on sale for £2.86 from the Microsoft store earlier. Already had it on the 360 but that price for the convenience of not having to swap machines is a no-brainer.
