Star-Lord! Dinosaurs! Oh my!

Due tomorrow, I guess we should plan to test it...

With considerations for the limited time left in the working week, and global propagation times for new content, we predict that the patch will go live on both consoles on Monday.

This patch has been out on PC since March 31. Details are after the break.

Once again, with a game I already own!

So I was greeted by this message immediately after ejecting my The Crew disc while switching to Dead Rising 3.

Yes Microsoft I will try to enjoy my trial of the game I already own! You know, a purchased retail disc copy? You have heard of them right? Perhaps you should update the Xbox One to understand that not all games are purchased digitally. Please?

Despite The Crew tag line I always seem to be driving alone

A lot of changes and fixes are coming in the next The Crew major patch due April 22nd. Here is a list of expected fixes:

New features:

• Perks can now be bought in the Headquarters with both Crew Credits and Bucks.
• The new “Raid Car Pack” is being added to the game, containing the following vehicles:
  • CADILLAC ESCALADE 2012 available in: Full stock/Street/Perf/Dirt/Raid/Circuit
  • McLaren F1 available in: Full stock/Perf
  • VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG NF 2011 available in: Full stock/Dirt/Raid

The Xbox recommendation formula seems to need work...

I have heard of targeting your core audience but really? "We recommend Call of Duty: Ghosts to you because you previously bought Call of Duty: Ghosts."

Really Microsoft? Didn't you think I would see through your ploy? After last time? Like I need a third copy of Ghosts.

You were expecting Star Wars weren't you?

Via Nerd Bastards just so I don't take all the blame.

Han looks old.

Yes I know this is ancient, but so are we!

Anyway, the banana guy appeared again when I loaded the site and every time it does it puts this stupid song in my head.

Now you can all feel my pain.

The Crew for the win!

Now you don't have to read the whole story. Not that you were going to.

So anyway we posted some stories about Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious and while playing it I started looking at the full version of Forza Horizon 2. I had been looking for a good open world racing game on the Xbox One to replace my recent experiences with Test Drive Unlimited 2 on the Xbox 360.

Oddly enough reading about Forza Horizon 2 lead me to The Crew which is where things got... interesting.

If this looks familiar, it's because the same thing happened several years ago and I am too lazy to make a new comic.

My wife is off to Taiwan for 3 weeks. So, 3 weeks of gaming, drinking, eating badly and generally living like a slob.

Heaven.

But the date keeps appearing on our site...

Someone received his gift and card (pictured above) a day early due to scheduling issues so none of this is a surprise to him. The card was wrapped around foam core board to make it emulate a game case. It worked out well.

Over the past few long months Coxxorz and I may have been in several EBGames. Some more than once. EBGames has had on sale the Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist Paladin Multi-Mission Aircraft Edition which comes in a large box. Very large.

I believe my direct quote was "Why do I feel that the motion capture session for this was entertaining?"

Rebellion: "During the mo-cap for Zombie Army Trilogy we played Michael Jackson's "Thriller" as a joke. What actor Neil Newbon did next was so good we made a game out of it ... well ... for April Fools' Day at least!"

Son races his father’s ghost car in Xbox racer RalliSport Challenge 10 years after he had passed

A YouTube commenter that goes by 00WARTHERAPY00 shared a story about racing his father's ghost car on his Original Xbox.

Here is a copy of the original post (uneditted):

Well, when i was 4, my dad bought a trusty XBox. you know, the first, ruggedy, blocky one from 2001. we had tons and tons and tons of fun playing all kinds of games together - until he died, when i was just 6.

i couldnt touch that console for 10 years.

but once i did, i noticed something.

"Oooooh, this should be good."

More entertaining than I expected but you do need to follow Arrow and/or The Flash to properly appreciate it.
