Did the 20th anniversary thing and you can clearly see my gamerscore drop in years where I had poo poo. to. do.

Also poor original Xbox, only knows the first game I took online with it which I thought was Mechassault but apparently was Halo 2???

I think with the OG xbox stuff it must be missing some of the live data. Mech Assault was def my first online game on og Xbox (then Midtown Madness) but it lists Halo 2.

I forgot they shut off that branch, so yeah its very possible they just don't have that information around or accessible anymore.

I feel confident I will be literally the only person who has Bard's Tale IV as a most played game one year.

Got my mind on doritos and doritos on my mind.
For people who game share, can you also use remote play (i.e. play on an iPad)? If you remote play will it stream from your “home” console that is in the other persons house or can you choose the console that is their “home” console that is in your house?

I remember that disc, and I remember even at the time thinking "map packs are a bad concept, they need another way" and then Todd Howard blessed us with the first cosmetic DLC

What’s the best gaming tv that people are always talking about? I know it’s an LG but there’s a bunch with similar names and I don’t want to buy the wrong one, but the idea of reading about TVs repulses me.

Any of the LG OLEDs are fantastic.

even a well looked after, used B8 would be a good buy.

It's pretty dope.
If you're gonna play the FEAR series skip 2. 3 isn't as good as the first but it has better gunplay than 2 and a really cool co-op mode. It's probably dead (although I have gotten games on PC) but you can still play through levels as both characters. 3 is like a B movie sequel to the first. 2 is a boring and often dumb retread that butchers the atmosphere and the goddamn shotgun.

This is the only memorable part of 2. To be fair it is INCREDIBLY memorable. A total whopper of a moment despite (or because?) of how tasteless it is.

Get the C1, not the cheaper A1. The A1 only has a 60hz refresh rate, among other limitations. The C1 is on sale at a bunch of places right now.

This. The As and Bs are great for movies. Cs have all the gaming bells and whistles like Variable Refresh and 120hz and such.

I'm playing it at 60fps on my laptop right now and yeah, this is a very noticeable downgrade from 120fps on my LG CX.

I'm not sure the B8 received the firmware update that allows you to play in Dolby Vision @ 120fps. I'd go for the LG CX, which is comparable to the newer C1 as it came right before that one but way more affordable.

The CX is largely panned from what I understand. People were buying used b/c8/9 as there was banding issues on the CX.

The B8 I have doesn't do 120hz at 4K which I'm fine with, but felt it was worth mentioning as a cheaper option than a c1.

I buy a new tv every 10 years so I'm not the best person to ask I guess. My old Bravia died a few yrs ago and the jump to the B8 was incredible.
