Microsoft has it's good & bad, but I think the new XBOX game Pass Ultimate might be a winner. Those who are familiar with game pass gold know that they offer free game play of hundreds of games AND offer FREE TO OWN games every month. NOW they are ramping up the service to offer the subscription of playable games to A. Console Players @ $9.99 a month. B. P.C. players @ $4.99 a month (intro price). or C. Both for $14.99 a month including XBOX game Pass. The SWEET part of this is that they are offering to UPGRADE everyone from regular live gold to Ultimate for $1.00 (Get three months for $1 and upgrade your monthly Gold membership to Ultimate at no extra cost.) They'll upgrade your current account UP TO 36 MONTHS to ultimate. So,you buy the 12 month live gold for $60.00 for 2 or 3 years worth of credit in your account,and you end up with Ultimate for 2 or 3 years @ $5.00 a month. :eat_pizza:AND more than 1 person can use it. The wife plays on the console under HER acct. I have my own login on the XBOX live acct on the console that I can also use for playing on the PC. I'm including a link to the official page so peeps can see & judge for themselves. here's the comparison/join page https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass?&OCID=AID2000131_SEM_3zxWyDeg#join And HERE'S the UPGRADE page with the terms of THAT on it. https://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/gold/upgrade?&OCID=AID2000131_SEM_3zxWyDeg

And they just keep digging the hole deeper.... https://hothardware.com/news/fallout-76-bug-reporter-banned

And it just keeps rolling down hill! https://www.gamebyte.com/fallout-76s...SpqaiIEvyggyaw "A clan with more than 300 members has been formed, and it’s called the Apocalyptic Aristocracy. The clan members essentially just bob around the place wearing ridiculous clothes and judging “peasants,� i.e. those who are playing Fallout 76 without having paid for the Fallout First subscription." In response to being trolled/hated on in game for getting the subscription. Thank everything I don't play the Fallouts! Wife bought me 3 and I hated the PiPboy. lol

ROTFL, the only thing I seem to win is from Marlboro so I figure MAYBE a healthier chance here. (Considering I quit smoking more than 10 years ago,U gotta give them credit for trying to keep me happy!)

I'm in.

Annnnndd MORE bad news for Fallout 76 and Bethesda! (gotta luv Australia's consumer protection laws ) https://www.gamebyte.com/players-are-getting-fallout-76-refunds-amidst-allegations-of-misleading-gamers/?fbclid=IwAR1nTiej_8c4vUNC5HBWr4Q58c-6oOv0p6c3vzwIKoTf0Ye58qOCSxao09U

I know I got Anthem free with my amd processor/board I bought for the new build @ the beginning of the year.It was through Origin@ the time(it's published by ea).So even though it's had lots of issues,there's @ least 1 newer game there also....

between them and Destiny dropping onto steam,looks like epic may have a fight on their hands. :cheers:

OMG! "The world has been *ahem* treated *ahem* to Fallout First, a premium subscription service that adds single-player elements to Fallout 76. Naturally, players of the game aren’t exactly thrilled with the news from Bethesda, and now those who have been enjoying the service are getting “cyberbullied.� "People who subscribe to Fallout First get rewarded with in-game goodies which set them apart from everyone else. Unfortunately, according to a Reddit post, these players are being “ganged up on." People are paying extra for others to single them out for that fact now. LOL

Sir,are U referring to Bag Gate by any chance? lol "Deep breath: So, you probably remember the Fallout 76 'bag-gate' fiasco in which customers who purchased the $200 Fallout 76 collector's edition, which was advertised as coming with a canvas Fallout 76 bag, but it actually came with a nylon bag, which was met with outrage, to which Bethesda first offered a small amount of Atoms (in-game currency) as recompense, before the outrage over that convinced them to go ahead and replace all the nylon bags with canvas ones, after which a number of customers submitting support tickets for those replacement bags had their private information leaked due to a problem with Bethesda's website? Exhale." OR,maybe the reactions of people when they started selling those FINE blue leather jackets? I KNOW U can't be talking about the actual quality of the work put into the game! :silly_fool: By the way, Twitter had me laughing so hard I almost had an "accident" over the jackets when they came out. Including some screenshots of the tweets! The wife & I were laughing over the cost of the New Fallout 1st.You're right,it's pretty much what should have been in the game already.

lol, U give Win 10 too little credit. My Dell Dimension 3100 has been able to run 3 OS from microsoft halfway smoothly. XP,7,and 10. The others(Vista & 8/8.1) were so much worse I had to use linux mint. Mint IS better than 10 on many systems,especially my optiplex 160 with the atom cpu and sys graphics.

lol, can't remember the title, was on windows 95/98 that I played it.1 CD based game had a pentium1 cpu@66Mhz with 32Mb of Ram and 1Gb hhd along with a 4mb video card. "The first Pentium microprocessor core was code-named "P5". Its product code was 80501 (80500 for the earliest steppings Q0399). There were two versions, specified to operate at 60 MHz and 66 MHz respectively, using Socket 4. It contained 3.1 million transistors and measured 16.7 mm by 17.6 mm for an area of 293.92 mm2. It was fabricated in a 0.8 µm BiCMOS process." ROTFL, can U picture even trying to load an operating system today with those specs??

Before I figured out how to edit the registry when 10 was first getting pushed, I had an issue where microsoft kept pushing a video driver update on me and the card would crash. @ least now it doesn't take an edit to disable the driver updates.

lol, free is free....

Hi all,just want to add that Epic Games has a new free game(@ least 1) every week. What I do is click "Get game" and send it to my library instead of installing.Then when I DO decide to finally play 1 I download it onto the comp.This way I'm not taking up hundreds & hundreds of Gbs of space that I may never use but I DO have the games if I ever decide to actually play 1. If I play 1 & it sucks,I can delete it off the drive,but still have it in the library if I change my mind.

Congrats!

I appreciate that, If I'd paid MORE attn to the terms of service,I'd have seen the address was in London and realized the time would be different.:cheers: lol, my dumb.

Just a heads up,the new update to PS4 (7.0) is supposed to be allowing streaming of games to android systems 5.0 and above with control support on android 10 They already stream to iOs on some versions.

Eeeek! I just went to enter and saw the post for it being over! lol, Ummm, if it ended @ midnight tonigh, wanna clue this poor lost soul in on what time zone your referring to? (It's 8:06 p.m. central time for me) link address for screenshot https://www.dropbox.com/s/n78o5176ax1uwod/Screenshot_100.jpg?dl=0
