The original was a year, then Intergrade extended it 6 months, after that it was exclusive to EGS on PC, then followed by Steam. So far there hasn’t been a sign that an Xbox version is coming.

That makes it worse because it reminded me I bought the version that came with the season pass! Guess I really need to get on it. 

See that sounds right up my alley! One I finish Callisto Protocol (see my problem) I’ll try to remember to jump into SoTR.

I’ve always enjoyed Tomb Raider and I’ve played every release so far. I don’t know why I haven’t touched Shadow yet though.

Four years! I bought Shadow of the Tomb Raider on launch day and it’s just been sitting there. I guess the only pay off is it got a free Series X upgrade. 

That’s my main wonder. I may just end up watching it in bed on my laptop just to be sure. Twitch drops just go by viewing minutes and you have a certain amount of days to claim them. I don’t see why they wouldn’t be like everyone else.

I believe your interpretation is correct. You have to qualify to register and stream the show from Steam. But it doesn’t sound like you need to do anything else. 

That’s my plan. I was going to mainly watch it on Youtube and put Steam.tv on my laptop on mute. It doesn’t seem like we need to do interact with it to win a steam deck. I’m also surprised that they’re giving away the 512gb model.

I’m expecting good things since I loved the Bunsen and Beaker one they did for Untitled Goose Game. They should also use Statler and Waldorf one year. 

Thanks! I didn’t think about checking that and it let me register without an issue and I couldn’t remember my last purchase. Turns out I got a Half-life bundle in January 2022 for $3.

I played the game a lot over the weekend. If it wasn’t for the DF video I probably wouldn’t have noticed anything out of the ordinary on Xbox Series X. I did get the stuttering late into the game but other than some lighting being the wrong color and the RT issues the game is fine. 

Years ago at GameStop this kid came in and was raving about Bioshock. He was maybe a teen and when I heard him say “that’s the first game I played I’d consider art”. I died a little inside that day.

For me not really. The Xbox One controller was a big improvement from it and I haven’t really enjoyed using the newer Series controllers. I’m still using my Xbox One design lab controller as my primary. I’ve gone back to my 360 a few times, which I still have hooked up for non BC games. The controller I used to love…

I thought that was weird for them to end the complimentary magicbands, which is a good way to get people to use them. They still sold premium ones if you wanted something different with your favorite Disney characters on them.

It’s been wonderful. I’ve redeemed $300 in gift cards so far for Xbox. So when they have their big sales I usually go crazy. 

The biggest lie I told myself was “i can’t wait to be an adult out of school since I’ll have so much time for gaming!”. I used to buy games constantly and have only recently gotten the point of telling myself if I won’t play it right away then it can wait.

I need to replay that one. I enjoyed it but never got use to the new Sam Fisher. Maybe I’ll appreciate more since it’s been a while.

Something similar happened with Halo 5 with the deluxe edition. They shipped the same deluxe edition box with the collector’s edition but it came with a game code instead of the disc. The standalone deluxe edition did come with the disc. I guess due to them being identical there was a mix up and some people received a…

Same, I’ve been trying for 100% completion but decided to wait until they added replays. I didn’t feel like starting a new game to get what I missed. So when I finally attempt my Legendary run I can just focus on that. 

If I can avoid it I will. I appreciated in AC3 when they first added hunting, you could at least go to the trader’s and pretty much buy everything you needed. If it’s required from completion then I just do the bare minimum.
