You mean for random online matchmaking? I am pretty sure the only options right now are the quick match options: it’s either small party (teams of 4) or big team battle. And each has a playlist, so you get oddball one match, slayer another.

yeah - you have to go to play.xbox.com and add the web app

I live ~40 miles from a microsoft server bonanza and have a 200/200mpbs fiber connection.. I’m about the best possible candidate for game pass streaming.

Does the gameplay lend itself to a touchscreen / mobile format?  I saw this the other day and thought it would be a neat iOS game for a flight oneday.

at least by the time you get yours hopefully the software will be fleshed out and the device will be optimized / hacked wide open..

I haven’t played Halo since 3.  Really eager to check this one out.  If you’re a fan of the series, based on this teaser where do I need to go in terms of back catalog to be up to speed for Infinite?  Just Halo 5?  (was there a halo 5?)

I mean the comparison pictures at the bottom show noticeable visual degradation. It’s not trivial, and I’m not exaggerating: the before and the after almost look like two different console generations of the same game.

Yea - I’m going to give it a few months of patches.  The early hype around the game got me really excited to check it out, but there’s just as much discussion about bugs and some of the little UI / balancing stuff that needs to be ironed out.  The good thing about game pass is worst case scenario I get a long enough…

There was a recent wave of OG homepod speakers, which are no longer manufactured, bricking devices that were running a beta profile. This was all over apple news sites recently. I would 100% NOT run developer-oriented beta anything on any hardware you don’t want to break with zero recourse from apple.

Keeping a packet in your shaving kit when travelling I bet would be helpful.  Interesting!

Zero percent chance a hotel is going to fork over 5% of their revenue to a shell company.  That alone would tell you this will never happen.  Any real hotel brand, should they actually want to launch this, could do it without the atari name attached.  

Wow - the mousepad is new to me.  This is kind of the wireless charging future I’ve envisioned.... random surfaces that will let you passively top up.

I don’t hate this at all. My wife is hooked on awful f2p games and I keep trying to find her actually beatable versions I can pay for. I’d gladly pay for a well-made, non money grubbing game with the same gameplay loop as the stuff she plays on her phone.

this feels like a deepfake

sold out unfortunately.

recently there’s been a lot of coverage of 30$ carplay dongles that allow you to use your android tablet as a carplay screen. decent 7" android tablet + dongle is going to be cheaper and less invasive than hacking up your car’s console... it may not look at clean but i feel like it’s better from a car-value…

i keep hoping for a 65" to hit $500, or a 65" LG oled to hit 1200. i know that’s crazy, but my 10 year old samsung is still doing just fine....

Gamers are awful, and toxic.  I work in brand marketing and absolutely hate having to cross paths with publishers.  They are scared of their own audience, rightfully so, because of stupid shit like this.

E3 is fucked.
