Low and behold, I've been sent yet another X1 beta code. This time though, I'm looking for some entertainment. So, send me your best tech related jokes and I'll give whoever makes me laugh the hardest during my Sunday hangover pain will be crowned the winner! GO, BE FUNNY!!!

 

Edit: Quote this comment when replying so I don't have to look through the whole thread, I'm lazy like that! 

Well I played my first game on the X1, I thought the graphics looked and played great, better than how BF4 looks which I still thinks looks good, as for titanfall I am crap at it but will be buying it for sure and so glad I bought an X1 now the filter has been removed improving the visuals a lot.

I got a chance to check it out a few hours ago thanks to thechronic hooking me up with a code, still never received one for signing up, and I am glad I did get to briefly check it out, as I think I will be skipping it. Just not my cup of tea at the end of the day. Just seems all over the place and a tad too chaotic. Ironically I really loved the movement of things during the tutorial, but once I checked the game out, did not think it really translated to the actual matches well. Just turned into your typical MP FPS. I barely saw any people wall running in the game, and whenever I tried to do so, it really did nothing to actually enhance things as it could and should. Maybe it was just the matches I played, and others are playing the game using the new features that supposedly separate it from other FPS's, but based on what I have seen, do not think I will be taking that $60 plunge to find out. 

 

I made the extra effort to play it like the tutorial teaches you and it really doesn't add anything to it. This game has been hyped out to be something it's not. It really is just another run and gun, but it just so happens to have mechs and some parkour thrown in. It's definitely a competent shooter in it's own right, it doesn't come across "messy" or anything. It's just....meh :/ Definitely not worth the 5 years of development anyway. How they couldn't even come up with an SP in that time to really showcase the game is a little bewildering. And 100% not worth the asking price :no:

Yeah I had hopes for this, but I think I'll pass until its on sale for a significant discount.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
