  1. The Mina the Hollower demo is now on Xbox (only until September 30!) so even though I played the demo some on the Switch, I figured I'd try some of this Xbox version on the Series X at lunch, and glad I did. Nice to use a controller for it instead of Switch joycons, for one. I guess I could've put the Switch version on the TV and used the wireless PowerA controller with it. But oh well. Anyway, if you have an Xbox, you should try this game, it's a blast. The full version comes out October 31 on all consoles.

  2. Not exactly sure when this happened but on a random whim I tried streaming Lost Odyssey in my #XBox and it worked! It used to throw an error that it wasn't available for streaming.

  3. Grabbed Metal Black on Xbox as it's on sale for less than $4 for the next few hours. Such a blast.

  4. Well that's another #XBox #SeriesX controller gone to stick drift. The Venn diagram with no overlap for controllers is:

    - Hall Effect sticks
    - Wireless
    - No Dongle (Xbox built-in wireless)

  5. Shady Part of Me (Multi, XPd on Series X)

    As a little girl who's afraid of the light, you must overcome your fear with the help of your shadow while you traverse a surreal dream world. This game has some dark feels so be prepared.

    You can definitely see the Limbo etc inspiration for this game, with some Braid tossed in with the time reversal mechanic. Using light to help your "shadow" get around is a neat trick. The puzzling is pretty decent, couple sections took me a bit to figure out but overall it wasn't too tough. The platforming feels solid as well, not floaty which is nice.

    Music is good, definitely sets the mood for this experience. Goes along with good sound design, and good voice acting. I like the mostly black and white aesthetic as well. I also like that the game doesn't overstay its welcome, you can likely knock it out over one sitting, esp if you don't care about collecting all the "birds".

    Overall, a good little experience. Do recommend. 👍 👍

  6. @MartinGuay @cliffwade I've enjoyed it so far... not that far in though but it's fun and enjoying the story so far. No issues on Series X or on the Legion Go 😁

  7. Fast vier Jahre mit der XBOX Series X
    Wenn sich das Jahr dem Ende zuneigt und die Tage länger werden, beginnt die Zeit, in der man auf das vergangene Jahr zurückblickt und ein wenig resümiert. Und in der man sich an den dunklen Abenden wieder eher den Videospielen widmen kann. Mein Jahr in Videospielen war wieder geprägt von Konsolentiteln,

  8. So I rolled the credits on Indiana Jones and The Great Circle last night and, my word, what a hell of a game. They do so well with so much of the game: feel, mechanics, dialog, etc.. but there's a couple gripes I have that just manage to detract from the overall experience enough to drop it from a perfect score to 9/10.

    Still, it's a damn good ride and I am glad I have a few collectibles I missed to go collect so I can continue to "be" Indy for a bit longer. Seriously, if you are a fan of the Indy movies (and you should know which movies I mean) you owe it to yourself to play this game.

  9. My kid and I both love ToeJam & Earl. We just played a bunch. Almost beat it, I think-- maybe next time. Here's a bit of us playing, this is from the Mega Drive Collection on Xbox.

  10. Did some co-op stuff on the Series X yesterday-- beat 3D low-poly indie beatemup Breakneck City with the help of my kid. It was a blast. This game is hilarious. Captured the final boss fight here, where we finally kicked his ass. This fight was TOUGH and took us several tries. Luckily, this game was pretty good with checkpoints, etc- it feels fair to play. It's a challenge but was never overly frustrating. At least not playing together. No idea how people could solo a walkthrough of this one, though. This last boss is ROUGH.

  11. Apparently one way of getting a bunch of achievements in games on my Series X that I've been struggling with is to have my teenage son try them. Because he's like 10x better at games than I am. He's patient and talented and even figures out the rough puzzles. He beat this game Catacomb Master last night and got basically all its achievements in no time at all. Cute, kinda glitchy little indie puzzle platformer by Desert Water Games.

  12. Thanks to @alvan, was reminded I have Vampire Survivors on my Series X. And turns out, my kid hadn't played it. He's cleaning up now in it. Might've hooked him. Trying to knock out a tough achievement- surviving 20 minutes in the Laboratory.

  13. Holy shit. Indiana Jones is really, really good so far. Only made it to Father Antonio so barely gotten into it but, dayum. That likeness is fairly uncanny, and Troy Baker nailed Harrison's voice so well I can only occasionally catch a couple times where it's not *exactly perfect*. It's amazing, honestly.

    That opening sequence was gold. Sure, bit of fluff for us fans of the movies, but it sets the tone for the game perfectly. Gonna enjoy the hell out of this game, I can tell.

  14. When I haven't been messing with that Yamaha receiver (I think I need a better multimeter, actually) and playing NMS/Thank Goodness You're Here on PS5, or Hellblade 2 on Series X, I've been enjoying Sludge Life on my Deck. Amusing "little" game. For something that looks pretty "simple", it sure is a battery drainer tho, lol. Hour-ish to go from 99% to 37%.

  15. A while back I grabbed Kao the Kangaroo on my Series X on massive sale, and I realized the other day I hadn't played it yet. So I started it, and was able to actually beat a few levels (I'm NOT great at games, especially platformers, even though I love them).

    Kao is a blast. Fun, challenging but not SUPER tough. I'll post a couple videos to this thread. Here's the first, which is a video of the intro cinematic right when you start the game - I'm psyched I was able to grab it.

    Also, gotta give kudos to the Xbox app being able to sync the captures to my phone & provides a quick, easy way to edit the videos really well (since they have to be small to post here - less than 100MB).
