Anyone considering picking up Screamride when it comes out in March? The game is developed by Frontier, the same company who developed Roller Coaster Tycoon. Originally I was really excited wen I heard about it but the game seems to be pretty minimal. Plus, a new roller coaster tycoon is to be released on PC this year so maybe this game is a token gesture for xbox owners?

Question, how do you change your xbox one to adjust to daylight savings?

My settings screen does not have the same menus as pictured here:

http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-o...ystem-settings

I do not have an "automatically adjust for daylight savings" option on my Xbox one?

Any tips?


EDIT: ok, figured it out. I logged out of Xbox live then went to settings and changed my time zone from US central to something else, then changed it back to US Central and boom the "automatically adjust for daylight savings" now shows up.

I logged back into Xbox Live and all is well. Strange how things work...

Environmentalists Attack XB1

Good lord, people will bitch about anything. I don't use Instant On because of fears early on of sudden power loss reports bricking people's systems and just never got around to turning it on since. But after reading that, I'm tempted to turn it on just as a personal "fuck you" to those dipshits.

Pool Nation FX is free this month for Xbox1 with Xbox Live Gold.

Pool Nation FX is free this month for Xbox1 with Xbox Live Gold.

Damn! My Live subscription just expired. I was going to renew again in July but I may need to re-up for this game.

[JBHuskers]

Wonder why Pool Nation has poor ratings on the XB1 rating system. Only 3 out of 5.

[JBHuskers]

Here's one review that may explain it. Sounds like Pure Pool did it perfect, and Pool Nation didn't.

"When games from 15 years ago managed to master the basics of the sport better than your brand new game, there's a problem. Not only that, but when a game is free and yet isn't even worth your time to play it, there's a problem."

Funny that is sucks on xbox because pool nation is pretty good on PC if you are into that kind of game.

[SmoothPancakes]

Eh, oh well. I downloaded it the other day. I like playing pool and sure am not about to turn down a free pool game.

Yeah definitely free is free. I've been playing the hell out of Pure Pool lately so I'm sure I will not enjoy this if the controls are as janked as they say they are.

funny how this group of liberals is bashing liberalism's attack on MS:

Not sure how new of a thing this is, but showing the qr code to the Kinect instead of typing in the 25 digit code is really nice.

Microsoft might be killing off Media Center in Windows 10, but the company is reportedly bringing one of its key features over to the Xbox One. Paul Thurrott reports that a TV recording solution for the Xbox One is coming soon, and most likely this year. Microsoft currently supports TV tuners in Europe and North America on its Xbox One console, but there's only live TV pausing and not full DVR capabilities.

It's logical that Microsoft would want to add a TV DVR function. When the software company originally unveiled the Xbox One it was designed as an all-in-one entertainment and games console, with a big focus on TV features. Xbox One owners can use cable boxes with the console thanks to HDMI-in support, but it's not clear if any DVR support would capture recordings from this source. The Xbox One also has relatively small storage (500GB) for a combination of games, media, and TV recordings. Microsoft could opt to ship new Xbox One consoles with greater storage options, like the special edition 1TB version released last year, or simply support TV recordings on USB storage.
