That chips ahoy contest from last year continues to pay out. Just got a email stating I won a first prize which is a sea of thieves game and a xbox one controller. I know a few of us here entered so you may want to check email/spam for an email from helloworld.
congrats! is it the sea of thieves controller?

No idea yet. Email and rules just say Xbox One wireless controller. That would be cool, those things got kinda rare if I remember correctly. Game already came as a download code. 8-10 weeks for the controller.

I'm sorry, I forgot on what did we decide on reporting people who won contests - are we going to report them right away (punch-in-the-nose) or give them few days and report them when they are least expecting it (kick-in-the-balls)?

 
I am okay with this. Would be good to get to try that before actually buying it. Probably never buying it but will definitely gamepass it
I liked whatever little I played of it during preview, especially since I played with my (then) 6 year old and he didnt want to follow any rules. It was fun for him, which is my passing criterion for anything/everything.

Gamepass is probably the right way to play it, though.

 
Am I the only one who still gets Xbox Magazine?
I subscribed for a few years, then switched to buying issues I had more interest in from the newsstand. Then I just stopped getting them, not big on reading reviews and with how easy it is to watch videos of gameplay or get a demo/beta of a game I can see how they play myself. Didn't they switch to European only publication rather than having a US published one? Did that increase the price at all (if you're in the US)?
 
Just got a message from XBL stating I got my Winter of Arcade reward.. I bought at least 3 if not 4 titles and I only got $5?


Ok double checked and I bought

Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom
Mutant Year Zero
Ashen
Did you happen to pre order any of those games before the promo was announced. I pre ordered mutant year zero and then bought below, desert child, and donut county thinking i would get $ 15 but only got $10 so I’m assuming my mutant year zero pre order didn’t count since it was before the promo

Apparently you get a Sea of Thieves Compass and a CHANCE to get a Beta Code for the Divison 2 when you watch Inside Xbox trough mixer. lol

Throwing in a few Indie titles from time to time as mixpot wouldn't hurt though, right? Speaking of...what happend to Outer Wilds?

They had an update on the 1st. Nothing concrete but it seems like they should be releasing soonish. Update from their Fig funding page:

Status Update
When we went on update hiatus after our previous update, we were hoping to kick off our updates again with the announcement of our release date. A lot of things need to line up for us to be able to do that, however, and unfortunately we’re not quite there yet.​
Since we can’t announce our final plans yet, instead here are some things on the path to shipping that we have been working on:​
  • We have finished our localization pass on the game so it is now fully playable in ten languages
  • Our certification submission window has been decided
  • We have continued our massive quality assurance push and have cleared out hundreds of bugs since our last update
  • We are working on our launch trailer
We are still working hard every day to bring you the best game we can, and we always appreciate your patience and support.​
 
On the chance that Shadow Of The Tomb Raider does enter Game Pass, I might look to shift mine... but I'd like to keep the steelbook if I can.  Has anyone traded a game into the usual places without a case before?  Walmart gives you nothing without the case, and I know GameStop will accept it but I'm looking to avoid any more trade credit with them... any experience with Best Buy and Amazon?

EGM was my favorite magazine then it folded. PC Gamer lasted about another year. I think Xbox Magazine went digital or European only for a while. While it was inevitable that they were becoming obsolete with all the gaming sites I still miss them. Around the time of most of the magazines folding, so did some websites like Joystiq.

I miss Joystiq a lot more than I thought I would. It was one of those sites I could check out every day and enjoy reading something. Now I skim kotaku and occasionally Polygon but I rarely find something to click through. I miss 1up as well, the articles, the shows, the podcasts. It had it all.

 
It's podcast is one of the better ones
Their weekly podcast is my favorite gaming podcast. It’s funny, positive, and does a good job of covering all three consoles and PC.

I also think the quality and depth of their writing is much better than other sites, especially their features and cover stories.
I've been meaning to check out podcasts. How do you guys do that? Is there a certain app that plays them?

I just re-upped for a year!
I go to Gamestop every year on Black Friday to renew my subscription. I think they have some sort of quota for getting subscriptions so they are always happy when I do it.

All this talk about magazines and you guys leave out the best one:

And yes I still have some of them.

On the chance that Shadow Of The Tomb Raider does enter Game Pass, I might look to shift mine... but I'd like to keep the steelbook if I can. Has anyone traded a game into the usual places without a case before? Walmart gives you nothing without the case, and I know GameStop will accept it but I'm looking to avoid any more trade credit with them... any experience with Best Buy and Amazon?
I say the chances are quite high

 
Cage017, I use Podcast Addict, it's a separate app for Android. It's a bit of a dinosaur but I'm used to it. Apple music has podcasts, Spotify has podcasts but I noticed they don't have all of them I like. Pretty sure Google music player will get you podcasts also. 

 
Game Pass gets Shadow of the Tomb Raider on Feb 7.  And Pumped BMX Pro.

S1 Walking Dead is coming.  Return to Arkham on Feb 21.

de Blob on Feb 14.

Your countdowns were lined up, hopefully stays that way in the future to avoid badly timed purchases

 
Meh. Was hoping for a few more debut on GamePass games.

BUT I don’t have Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Actually haven’t finished Rise yet. Guess I’ll play through Shadow first then loop back.

Solid games. Wasn't excited for SOTTR at all but now that it's on gamepass I'll definitely give it a try. Return to Arkham is also very good. De blob looks fun too.

Seems light in terms of quantity though.

This is a month for quality over quantity I believe... SotTR is a great addition only 5 months after release, the Arkham games are incredible value (controversy over the graphics aside), de Blob is a great platformer and I'm holding out hope that Crackdown 3 will be a blast with friends.

 
It did. Nobody really cared about it after the games from the first half of that month.
Yeah, plus October. Spider-Man, DQXI, Red Dead 2, Forza Horizon 4, AC Odyssey, and (my personal favorite) Mega Man 11 all within 4-5 weeks of SotTR.

I know a few of those aren't multi-million sellers, but there's only so much time and money for games, and I was more excited for literally every single one of the ones I just listed, even though I still very much want to play TR.

 
Anybody else trying to get tickets for Halo Outpost? This virtual queue thing has just been siting here the whole time.
yeah, i got in. Here are the prices:

Seeing Jojo characters in Jump Force is cool, I just get the impression the gameplay is going to be hot garbage. I wish Bamco would do a Jump crossover game as a more tradtional fighter or a versus game like Dragonball FighterZ.

 
Only have 2 letters left in the TA Hangman Challenge and I still don't know the whole phrase. There are only like 5 words that would make sense, but none of them seem to be a quote I would know or I could find on google...

Ha I know my phrase but have 8 unique letters left and only 2 "lives" so don't know if I'll get it done, without popping other stuff on accident.

Interesting development for me in the ever baffling world of "MS REWARDS" since the new punch cards have a lot of older game pass games in them I thought I was pretty much farked again on even trying to complete them. I already had a lot of the Mortal Kombat X stuff done from the past. I brought up the MS Rewards app on the dashboard and noticed a couple checked off that I had completed previous to this becoming a Game Pass Quest. So maybe MS has fixed this issue. Again it's MS Rewards so YMMV.

Only one letter needed now, still 7 tries left. and it literally can be only 4 words (if it isn't an obscure family name) but none of them make a memorable quote that can be found...

As for your phrase..probably depends on your games and what you have left to do, in my case, my backlog is large and I can just go for specific achievements without being worried popping others on accident. ^^"

 
So EA says they have no current plans for Titanfall at the moment and there focus is on Apex Legends. Then on there conference call they said later this year they’re releasing a premium version of Titanfall with a “twist.” Just announce Titanfall 3 already!

Really curious what it could be. Haven't had a chance to pop any achievements yet.

So more than likely Titanfall 2 with exclusive Apex skin's or whatever for $30. With Respawn working on Apex and Star Wars, there's no way they have time for a Titanfall 3.

 
Sea of Thieves Friends play free codes. Starts tomorrow till the 13th. I'd probably wait to start downloading till after they patch it tomorrow because they are shrinking the file size in half or so and you'll have to re download the game.

RQCRJ-6KDC2-JC9JY-JFGPY-9CR3?

7HGHK-MMPXR-2RFVR-VPJQY-64KD?

D4HR3-HJMWF-WGM4M-Y2VY9-KCW6?

? = last letter of the alphabet.
