The official Xbox wireless headset still has the awful stuttering issue when launching/resuming demanding games. Still even randomly disconnects controllers when glitching too. It's a shame cause it's a great headset when it works. In Gears E-Day I have to reboot the console for smooth audio.

I'm only about an hour into the E-Day campaign so far but I'm having a lot of fun with it. It does the whole "Day Zero" thing very well. Also these might be the best graphics of the current generation, it looks astonishingly good.

'Beverly Hills Cop' released on this day in 2007. A late tie-in game to the Eddie Murphy action-comedy film series -- sans likeness rights to the lead actor himself. Six levels of bad shooting, broken stealth, and speech checks; all with nary a checkpoint in sight.

Gears of War E-Day is the most accessible game in the Gears Franchise. It is one of the most accessible games Xbox has made. It is one of the most accessible games in the industry. It's also so much damn fun. Nice. youtu.be/Bc0CVCrGM5s

Paramount and Warner Bros. shaped over a century of culture. By combining them, we aren't rewriting history — we're equipping these iconic studios with a more powerful engine. Together, we are Skydance: a creative-first ho Show

There's a bizarre news story about a director at Remedy working on a new project, and it's such a non-story that it annoys me like an itchy clothes tag. "Person employed by company is working on thing company makes."

Used my Elgato to make a nice capture of Mythic #608 for your viewing pleasure. Unlocked it on Windows so I could see it against the console's immersive background mode—which like Mythic Achievements, is currently out to XBOX Insiders through the Beta ring!

Does the president have the unilateral authority to tear down large parts of the White House?

No. Federal law does not give the President unlimited power to demolish or rebuild large parts of the White House on his own. I cannot give legal advice.
Main legal limit
• Congress has plenary authority over federal property and the District of Columbia.

Is President Trump mentioned repeatedly in the Epstein case files?

Yes. Official materials say President Trump's name appears in the released Epstein-related files. A mention is not proof of a crime.

Trump’s new AI website is kinda fun, it turns out.
Can the president use taxpayer funds to air his old campaign ads on TV?

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

This makes me so happy. Seeing everyone fall over themselves to pre-emptively declare this a masterpiece without even seeing it - just because "Tom Cruise in old(er) guy makeup is going to be hilarious and Oscar-worthy"... Fucking laugh out loud.

Announced 2024. "Full reveal" 2027. Still no release date in sight. Claims to be PS5 exclusive, PS6 will likely be out when it's ready. Weird how Sony studios get a free pass on this

If Microsoft does somehow manage to keep a physical drive in Helix, all the currently angry-at-Sony Playstation fanboys will simply change their tune to say Xbox is in the past and PS6 is embracing the future. Fanboys never change.

Was looking at the Silent Hill Townfall concept art and my jaw dropped. Was back in my hometown tonight so I had to go and take a photo. There are many ways to mock my beloved Coatbridge, but “your home’s so miserable it was used as concept art for a Silent Hill game” is a new one for me

Trump started “renovating” the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in April. After spending $19.2 million of taxpayers’ money, it appears he’s abandoned it.

Sea of Thieves has about 700% the daily players of Halo Infinite on Steam alone, but every headline is about Halo moving to Activision and zero commentary about Rare. IMO Rare moving under an existing publisher is much more interesting news than "Activision will make Halo now".

The whole shuffle makes sense as far as management goes, but I just can't imagine anyone at Activision can do Halo. Yeah it'll look pretty, but their storytelling is achingly dull.
