For some reason, downloading from the LIVE Marketplace is really slow right now. I was downloading Daggerdale, which may be crappy.
I was also going to purchase Geometry Wars.

My wireless router had to be reset. I could not get a stable connection. There was a storm and the power blinked. That may have messed things up.

I was just playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance on the 360. I don't remember what you have to do to change your roster.
Here is a funny bit with the crappier PS2 version.


Alliance 1 and 2 were on Xbox One, but it looks like they are not for sale anymore. Well, I got the 360 one at least. It looks like I have all the DLC.

You can change your roster at a save point.

Oooohh. I also got my Amped 3 in the mail. It is that silly snowboarding game by Access Software.
It is definitely a collectable. A very unique game. I may collect the other two.
Access Software made some quirky old games.

I am going to have to get some surge protectors for the consoles in the living room.
It has been storming really bad lately and I am worried they are going to get fried.

Here is the bonus dvd feature for MUA.
Buying the platinum release that has this is absurdly expensive. The iso of it is on archive.org.

That's better than the remaster isn't it?

IIRC it was 4K/60 on One X but 1620p/60 on Pro.

But the original 360 version is $5, the remaster is $20 and there's arguably no difference between them on SX with the FPS boost and One X enhancement.

Really the PC version of Marvel Ultimate Alliance is where it is at. There is a mod that adds characters from all versions and some extra ones.
So, you get the complete experience. It looks like the online is dead though.

I am having this weirdness on the 360 where it is saying I have the demo version of a game when I have the full version.

Is there a way to fix that? It seems like it updates it to full when I run the game. So, it is on my account that I own it.

It is really annoying.

Is there a full list of Xbox O/S/X shmups anywhere i can reference? I'm not a fan myself but i have a friend that is a HUGE fan and it's the one the only reasons he never really got into Xbox - they didn't have enough shmups.

Andro Dunos II also finally dropped on Xbox.
Another shmup great.

Buy Andro Dunos 2 | Xbox

Andro Dunos (アンドロデュノス, in japanese) is a side scrolling arcade game from shoot’em up category (Shmup). It was originally developed by Visco and distributed in 1992 by SNK on Neo-Geo MVS and Neo-Geo AES. The game is one of the best games from SNK among King Of Fighters, Metal Slug, Samurai...

Im not aware of any unfortunately.
The 360 was actually one of the best shmup consoles of all time - XB1 got nothing - but things are obviously improving with the Series and XB is finally getting shmups again. There's so many that get dumped randomly on the store - things can get lost in the shuffle. I try to follow this stuff like a hawk and I miss ones all the time.

Remember Xbox still has what many consider to be the gold standard shmup: Radiant Silvergun (and it still exclusive to xbox besides the old sega saturn port).
Also things like Strania, Ikaruga, Deathsmiles, Battle Garegga, Guwange, Vasara, Natsuki Chronicles, Bullet Soul - all playable on any xbox.

They really need the make the newer xboxes have original xbox and xbox 360 emulators on them. It should be doable.

You should be able to stick your old disc in and directly play it. None of this download crap.

Considering MS is the only one allowing that in comparison to Nintendo and Sony - dont see where the beef is.
Im playing stuff I bought in 2001 on my Series X.

Seeing this makes me sad I sold my OG Xbox. Will need to find another one somewhere, I still have a lot of games I'd like to play again!

Is there a chronic issue with left bumper in xbox controllers?

I am on my 3rd and this one also started not responding and i am pretty sure the lb will stop working completely in a week or so?

Which exact controller?
Some variants of the Xbox One controllers have bad bumper design that break easily.
It improved over time with later versions - and the Series controllers uses a new design that I see dont see breaking.

Series controller. First one to go was that blue piece. And then the white one which came with the console broke. I very recently bought a black one and now lb has started not responding now and then.

I dont understand why its always the lb button

Sucks man - and its happening to multiple controllers - not just one.
You must go hard on the LB for whatever reason.
I broke about 5 XB1 bumpers but have no issue on the Series ones. I use LB constantly on Halo and Ace Combat.

You should be able to get yours replaced for free thru MS support. I had a stick drift problem with my Series console pack in controller and it got replaced by them.

I have for some reason problem with going from face buttons to right stick with my thumb. My finger seems to always go to slightly different position in the right stick, and I have to think about repositioning it to the correct location, instead of it happening on a instinct. Also this issue seems to cause some discomfort with my right thumb. Its weird cause I have never had problem like this.
