    A little better information on the used game thing, at least for those of us with multiple consoles, it sounds like the license still goes with your tag. Still up in the air but sounds like it's not as bad as it sounded at the start:

    http://majornelson.com/2013/05/21/xbox-one-and-used-games/

    We know there is some confusion around used games on Xbox One and wanted to provide a bit of clarification on exactly what we’ve confirmed today. While there have been many potential scenarios discussed, today we have only confirmed that we designed Xbox One to enable our customers to trade in and resell games at retail.

    Beyond that, we have not confirmed any specific scenarios.

    Another piece of clarification around playing games at a friend’s house – should you choose to play your game at your friend’s house, there is no fee to play that game while you are signed in to your profile.

    Alan Wake is on sale for $5 on Games on Demand, or 400 points if you switch the payment option. The DLC is all on sale too. If I hadn't already completed it long ago I would definitely be on this deal.

    I hope to see us create a GoGVoice.com or a SteamVoice.com, since I will not be going to OneVoice.com

    I'll stick out the 360 until they shut down Live.

    I'm putting my wallet where my mouth is, and that is not with the next generation of Microsoft Console Gaming.

    I think I just heard a million completionists cry out in pain, dynamic achievement lists...

    So now we know the name. Not great, not horrible.

    Any clever suggestions for new web site name?

    I played 11 new games last week. Sounds more productive than it was.

  6. Fshguy Says... 5/20/2013 9:17:28 AM PST

    Seems like a dearth of games with legs since last Fall, Gears and Doritos are the only games that are making the top 10. And since Doritos is free I'm not sure it counts.

    So, who's going to be, cough, cough, sick tomorrow or working from home?!

    Made some progress on the DB restructure, I figured out how to "compress" the gamer info by eliminating days where score/etc. doesn't change. This alone reduces the amount of data from 335 Million to roughly 48 million rows. I was able to run a score lookup of all a person's data in .015 seconds instead of 19 seconds. Hopefully I can cut over soon...

    And a new challenge, everybody is welcome.

    Got caught up on XBLA games. Also worked on a little Ice Age Village yesterday. Almost at level 14 I think.

    My import copy of Iron Sky came in yesterday. Game based off the movie of the same name. If you haven't seen the movie, watch it. It's decent and was mainly funded by the fans. I hope to try the game out today.

    No current plans for the day so maybe I can get some game time in. Need to get back on Defiance. Close to the end of the main story arc. I'd like to 1k the game before the new dlc comes out.

    Picked up Metro: Last Night yesterday. Liked the first one even though I never finished it. This new game is really good. The developers, 4A games really got the shaft when working on this game and still released something good.

    Did a little more in Ice Age Village yesterday. Think I'm at level 13 and about to hit 14. Wish they'd fix the game so it can be completed. I'll pick at it more again today.

    Got some more import games in. The unplayed pile is stacking up again. More on the way too.

    Worked on Ice Age Village some more. Up to level 11 now. Still a VERY long way to go. Another after hours project tonight and it's out of town but not as far off as some of the others I've done. Hope to get back early enough to get some Defiance time in.

    New Crossword game is out for Windows 8 users (not phone). You can get it here:

    Still trying to recover from this sinus mess. I was able to put some time in Defiance yesterday chipping away at the main story arc. I'm at the final boss battle now. Still have a ton of other stuff to do (co-op missions, etc). Also put a little time in to Ice Age Village this morning and it's starting to get going good. Should hit level 10 today. Anyone know if there's a quick way to get more acorns?

    Do you like completing games? Do you like winning prizes for completing games? Do you want to throw your completed games at the opposition in a brick like fashion? Do you want to see Dog of Thunder come out of retirement?? Can you count to 1?

    If you said yes to any of the above, then you should check out the Completion Club Challenge brought to you by toddycst here: http://360voice.gamerdna.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=26545

    It's like skyline, but weekly, and instead of achievements you build a tower on completions. Grab 2 buddies and sign up now, if you don't have 2 buddies, sign up for the random pool and hope for the best.

    If enough people sign up, we just might see a Dog of Thunder sighting.

    So, the battle continues. Learned more when I can run this process and not break other stuff. I could punt and try another approach, but it might not work any better, so stay stubborn and will get through this!

    Started up Air Conflicts: Secret Wars yesterday for a change of pace from all of the beat'em up games I've been playing. Big thank you to General Tynstar for the unsolicited help with the MP. He offered just as I was about to hop off for dinner, and I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth. ;) Only took a few hours, and was pretty painless. I still have the 2x 6-player achievements to get done, so if anyone else needs them or can just jump in to help out, please let me know and I'll schedule a session over on TA for them.

    Finished up X-Men Destiny on Saturday. Decent enough game, another fairly quick and easy one with a guide. Made some more progress on Storm In A Teacup (WP), finally finishing up all of the original levels. Just have the challenge levels left now, which will probably be just that for me; a challenge. Ice Age Village is still coming along slowly. For anyone who hasn't started it, there is a glitched achievement (5* village - details on x36a.com game forums). Figures, since I would have popped that one last night.

    Late night tonight, forgot we have a drum clinic that I have to emcee/host. Have to squeeze in an achievement somewhere... ;)
    Have a good one!

  22. FragEmAndSmile Says... 5/13/2013 6:16:57 AM PST

    Starting to recover from whatever I came down with last Friday. Not 100% but can look at a computer/tv screen longer than 10 minutes now. Played 1 mission in Defiance yesterday (story related) and I couldn't go any further. Will try to do better today. Hoping to work from home today to help the recovery process. Being on the road when you feel like crap doesn't help get better but I do have an after hours project for work at a near by city but it's a quick turn around if all goes well.

    I've maxed out both of my 504 capacity dvd racks with North American retail game boxes. Currently at 509 boxes. I'm going to get another smaller rack like I did for the European games and put the Kinect games in it. That will free up a good bit of room in the 2 big racks. I really need to get a new achievement room. I'm quickly outgrowing the one I have now.

  23. FragEmAndSmile Says... 5/11/2013 7:28:28 AM PST

    Craptacular week ends with me getting some sort of sinus mess. Came at me yesterday out of no where. Starting sneezing and here we go. Pumping myself full of OTC meds to help. Won't be doing much gaming this weekend because of it.

    Getting close to getting all the currently released North American titles. I seem to catch up during the summer slow release period. Got a few Kinect titles to grab and trying to get a good deal on Skylanders Giants portal owners pack but haven't had any success yet.

    Day 2, the fight continues...

    Up to 03 Jan 2008, 39 of 334 million records done. Finding this is going to take longer that I originally expected. Running this while daily jobs, especially Blogs runs is slowing down those things, so I had to stop last night so everything will run.

    Starting later today, hoping I get through 6 months a day optimistically right now, so might be going for another 10 days, ugh. It's either that or lock up the site for a couple days.

  26. Buckswana Says... 5/10/2013 6:13:08 AM PST

    Hey everybody! Lowest scoring week for me in a while. Between watching all the great hockey going on and giving Dacoto a hand with some GTA boosting, I'm just been able to keep my streaks going the last few days. Jamming tonight too, so popped something quick before work so I don't need to worry about it.

    Still have some kills to grind in X-Men Destiny, but I have gotten a couple of different types done. Unfortunately the ones I have left are a little scarce, so they'll probably take a bit to finish up.

    Finally got past level 24 in Storm In a Teacup (WP). Was starting to get a little frustrated (read:pissed off) with it. After watching a video I realized it was definitely more to do with the framerate making it hard since it's so choppy and feels herky-jerky because of it. Anyway, 28/40 levels done now, slowly getting through it.

    Ice Age Village (WP) is (very) slowly coming along. I think I have about 3 more days to finally get the 5* village, then I can start using the time trick if I decide to. Even with it, I don't think it'll be quick though.

    Weekend plans; have some more spring cleaning to get done, then work on finishing up X-Men, play some more Storm/Teacup, Ice Age and maybe start trying to grind out a bit more Carcassonne. Really need to get back to that one. Have a good one!

    GO SENS!!

  27. dacoto Says... 5/9/2013 1:32:25 PM PST

    Today(well, yesterday) I hit 200 days played. This is my current longest running streak. My previous was 158.

    Also want to give a thanks to Buck for running GTA IV for me while he watches hockey. I know, it's a real stretch to "force" a Canadian to watch playoff hockey, but he's a trooper and is willing to take one for the team.

  28. Fshguy Says... 5/9/2013 6:27:39 AM PST

    FYI, site performance, it's possible you may see slow downs or it might take a minute for your comments to post for the next couple days.

    I'm rebuilding/denormalizing the table that tracks each gamertag for each day(which has more rows that blog since we don't write blogs for people that don't play for 30+ days). This table is up to 334 million rows and it takes up 60GB.

    I hope to get the size down to under 20GB and better than that, it will be organized/indexed better. Mostly, this will improve results when you look at your gamerscore chart. I'm planning a secondary update to work on all of our charts, there's a lot of new stuff out now that will make these charts run a lot smoother.

    Doritos Crash Course 2 was released today. It's free, so thousands of people are trying to play it, which has crashed their servers. Since it requires a gold account and an online connection to play, you can't play it at all right now. MS brags about how they have some ridiculous number of gamer accounts, something like 12-15 million or more. If 100,000 people trying to play a free game crash the servers, what would happen to a major title release? Seems like a great argument against the "always online" requirements rumored for the nextbox. I still think it's a rumor at best, because I can't see the business sense in completely excluding a significant portion of your target market out of the box.

    Anyways, off to something else that I can play offline.

  30. Buckswana Says... 5/8/2013 6:13:12 AM PST

    And that's why you don't stop watching a Sens game if they're trailing going into the third period... 8)

    I started up X-Men: Destiny on the weekend, decent enough game. Not too bad for collectibles, took about 6hrs or so to get through the story, including replaying a few things for their counterpart achievements. Still have to clean up my kills and then replay the last level for the X-Treme difficulty achievement. Hopefully I can get the time to finish it up by the end of the week.

    Still working through a couple of WP games. Ice Age Village is very slow and tedious, makes Bug Village look like Avatar. I've almost got the 5-star village, which is the only thing that gets messed up doing the time trick. Not sure if I'll do that after or not, maybe just to build up some damn acorns...
    Storm In A Teacup is giving me some trouble. Hit a level that I just keep dying on right now, might just keep going and come back to it later. Not a fan, though it is a decent game.

    Have a good one!

  31. Fshguy Says... 5/6/2013 6:29:27 AM PST

    Finally finished Mass Effect 3... Sadly I had to play the last half of the game offline, every time it would try to save for me while connected, the whole console would freeze. At least I found a work around.

    Back to some site work before I get distracted again. Got to get that blog rewrite done!

    I owe somebody some Sonic & Sega boosting. Grid 2 is coming out in 3 weeks.

    New challenge, will try to launch tonight. As always everybody is welcome to join the Fshguy free for all!

    Last week was horrible gaming wise. Then Friday I left for an out of town tournament. Got back yesterday afternoon and pretty much crashed. I'm on "vacation" today but have an after hours project for work to do. At least the site I'm working on is close by and not out of town.

    Picked up a few new games over the weekend too. Added to my new gamestop visits list for Georgia. One day I'll update that list.

    Another heavy week this week with after hours stuff. Don't see much game time coming my way....

    Hey everybody! End of another week, should be a nice weekend. Weather's been beautiful all week, should be for the next couple of days as well. Hoping to get some clean up done tomorrow, then settle in for a bit of gaming. Have barely touched my console the last few days, just too much good hockey to watch.

    Been playing a few WP/Win8 games in the meantime. Started Storm In A Teacup (WP), which will be tedious for me I think. Not crazy about games you need to have perfect, deathless runs on every level, but will see how it goes. Still working my way through Ice Age Village (WP), which is basically a Bug VIllage clone, but with a bit of story. Not using the time trick yet, just trying to get a 5-star village before I worry about that. Have a feeling this one will take a while. Lastly, been enjoying Jetpack Joyride (Win8). Another "just one more try" game, that is actually a lot of fun, simple, and addictive. Should be able to finish that one up shortly. Picked up the Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon game as well, just based on all of the great reviews I've been hearing from people. WIll probably also grab The Harvest (Win8) that was just released. Was a lot more fun than I expected on the WP, and looks like the same game with a couple more character classes to play through.

    That's it for now, have a great weekend! Go Sens!

  35. Fshguy Says... 5/1/2013 10:42:01 AM PST

    First off, anybody have problems with their profile and Mass Effect 3? The game freezes for me when I try to save now. I had this before and moved everything to my HD(I usually use a USB stick).

    How long does it take to recover a large profile now days?

    I'd like to run some blog content related to speculation on what will be in the next xbox, so any ideas, email me through the forums, post on my blog.

    BTW, Top 21 has been reset. Thanks Futiles for the reminder.

    Anybody hear of a "complete" edition of Mass Effect 3? Seems like a lot of money for all of the DLC. Any split on the good vs bad DLC. I haven't finished yet, but soon.

    New challenge... Haven't been keeping up with stuff, Mass Effect taking up time!

    Another interesting milestone was hit last night. 2,000 played games (across all platforms). No wonder it takes forever for my gamertag to load on my console. Current count is 2,002 played.

    Got caught up on XBLA games last night. Tried a few out. Decent overall. Still have a few retails on the import consoles to boot up but the unplayed pile got a little smaller.

    Might get some play time tonight. We'll see.

  39. FragEmAndSmile Says... 4/25/2013 11:08:01 AM PST

    Tried out a few new games last night.
    Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge - same are regular version so far. Supposed to be able to play other characters (a few from Dead or Alive series) but haven't been able to do that yet. New costume is decent.

    Dead Island: Riptide - looks good, plays like the first one. Some didn't like the original, I did and I like this one too. Controls are solid.

    Star Trek - Didn't have high hopes for his one after the let down of Colonial Marines (really wanted that one to rock). Typical co-op Army of Two type game play. AI is hit and miss for your partner if playing alone. Will give it some more play time.

    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Ariser - Just the same game with an extra "level'. Original game comes with this version. No new achievements so if that's all you're after, don't bother with it. I like these kinds of games so I wanted the extra level/mission.

    Will be online tonight which is uber rare for a Thursday. My normal routine is changed for tonight only. Nice break from the norm.

  40. Buckswana Says... 4/25/2013 8:34:05 AM PST

    FInished up a couple more games yesterday. First was Dream Track Nation (WP), a simple little phone game that was released at the same time as TIny Plane. It's an iOS port, that's a little like a Trials HD/iStunt 2 ripoff, and does it pretty poorly. It was finally patched making it completable, and they added they star collecting mode (a la iStunt). Overall, pretty quick and easy, can be done in a day w/o much trouble.

    After that, I finished up the last bit of Generator Rex: Agent of Providence. Not a bad game, but nothing special. Based on the tv series, the gameplay actually reminded me a bit of Green Lantern, maybe because of the weapons and Omega Builds. Another fairly quick one, requiring 2 playthroughs and a bit of grinding at the end.

    Downloaded the last AC3 DLC, hopefully get started on that tonight or tomrrow. Sens game tonight, so that comes first. Have a good one!

    Everyone I seem to ask doesn't have this game so I'm asking on here.

    From Dust is on sale this week and it has high reviews. I remember it when it first came out and it was one of those big deal games. Does anyone actually own this game and can tell me if it's worth buying or not?

  43. FragEmAndSmile Says... 4/24/2013 1:56:23 PM PST

    Yesterday I hit a unique milestone, 1,000 North American Xbox 360 game boxes (green or purple) on my shelves at home. #999 was Dead Island Riptide and # 1,000 was Star Trek. I haven't had a chance to play either yet though. Also picked up the new Dragon's Dogma game today. This makes my unplayed stack across all platforms even bigger. At least tonight I'll actually have some game time. Not sure I even know what that means anymore. Maybe I'll remember what it is after tonight. So much to catch up on...

    As I seem to be slipping in to another gaming funk, I'm left wondering why bothering to continue. Games aren't holding my interest with the exception of a few here and there. I keep getting new games that even if I had nothing to do but play games all day/night, I still probably will never get to them. I'm sitting in a room with probably the 2nd largest privately owned 360 collection of retail games across 3 regions (consoles) on the planet and have next to no desire to play any of it. That's not even counting XBLA, PC, and phone games I have. I've spent the day debating on even keeping what I have anymore and just sell it all off. What I spend in games each year is more than some people even make and have to live off of and all these games do is sit there on the shelf unplayed. I'd probably start with the completed games, all measly 40 of them. Let's face it, once a game is 100% done achievement wise and no DLC for it on the horizon, there's not much point in hanging on to it anymore....except to help boost which is my other problem, no time. I get in challenge after challenge mainly to be supportive of the host, but never seem to get enough time to seriously devote to the challenge or my team which isn't fair to them. My gamerscore continues to fall behind everyone else on the leaderboards. I'm not sure I even care about it anymore. What little competitiveness I had left is all but gone. I've been gaming since Pong and up until recently I didn't think I'd ever stop. Maybe it's time to retire.


    Will I continue to make challenges? Maybe. There are other folks on here that make far better ones than I so I may just leave it alone and fade away in to oblivion.

    Hi everybody! Hope everyone had a good weekend. A little cool up here (and warms back up today, of course), so spent most of the weekend indoors, just taking it easy with some relaxed gaming and what-not.

    Picked up a couple of more completions over the weekend. Started up another one of the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? (WP) games on Friday night, the French one this time. Picked it up since I can actually speak a little French, then quickly realized it didn't matter and it's google translate to the rescue. Many of the questions still didn't make a lot of sense due to their wording, and I even found one with a wrong answer. After finishing 2 runs through, I left the last one for Saturday. Finished that up with coffee Saturday morning,then finished off Darkness II. It was probably a little easier than the first one, maybe a little quicker, and just as fun.

    Yesterday I pulled another game off the shelf, Generator Rex. Another fairly quick, easy game. Some of the elements remind me a little of the Green Lantern game. Managed to get the only 2 "hard" achievements done without much trouble, just have one level left to play and then 3 more to do time trials on.

    Have a good one!

    Hotdogmcgee won the JACKPOT!! achievement in Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit for 57 points


    Nothing like getting luck based achievements on the very first try.

    Finally finished up Tiny Plane (WP) yesterday. Had some down time after the big truckload at work, and was able to grind out the 10k in one game. Not a great game, but not really that hard; just requires some grinding. The last achievement is just a pain since it takes about an hour to attempt, and sucks if you fail it and have to start over.

    I'm getting close to finishing up Darkness II. Blasted through Dom difficulty with no trouble, much quicker than I expected. Just have the Vendetta stuff to do now, which I have no idea the length of.

    Jam night tonight, might record some more drum tracks while we're at it. Should be fun. Have a good one!
