And here's the schedule for the week (A.K.A 2nd Wave of Birthday Games)

Just like when a failed redacted document was leaked on the Internet, it seems that the Court of North California District needs to have double-check on their office clerks. Because there was a massive leaks of findings and evidence regarding #Xbox that were filed during the failed FTC Preliminary Injunction against Microsoft on attempting to buy Activision Blizzaard. The leaked documents highlights all plans that Microsoft have for this decade including a buying spree with names like Nintendo (it will be the 2nd time since late 90's attempt), WB Games, Valve and more. AS for Xbox Hardware, despite Phil Spencer confirming that there will be no mid-gen upgrade, we could see an All-Digital Xbox Series X (no Blu-Ray ROM) by 2025 & new custom Xbox controller in 2024. Microsoft tentatively aims for 2028 to say/launch what's next for Xbox hardware. It will be interesting on the reach that Xbox wants to stretch as there are visions of maybe a proper Nintendo Switch answer for the next main hardware as an "hybrid" computing and also, a Cloud-Ready Xbox console was mentioned. Now that Stadia is out of the picture, Microsoft is already developing Game Pass Cloud Servers upgrades to prepare Xbox as a proper PC gaming streaming and no longer exclusive Xbox Series X environment. Talking about Stadia, Microsoft was wary on chances to compete, but after the first rumors of Immersive Stream, the corporate version of Stadia, was a new priority rather Stadia itself, CEO Satya Nadella asked Xbox team about any opportunities & how they see why Google failed. At the Preliminary Injunction hearing, it was revealed that Microsoft chose NOT to upper up their Cloud Gaming offering & let Stadia take the lead, precisely because Microsoft knew that it will be used against it in case of a massive purchase, like the Activision Blizzard deal. Finally in gaming software related, The Elder Scrolls VI was originally slated for a 2022 release, but Starfield took priority. Before the purchase of ZeniMax Studios and Bethesda, works on the next DOOM game, Dishonored 3 & a Ghostwire Tokyo sequel were in the pipeline. Finally, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Fallout 3 remaster are also in development, meanwhile, it was mentioned that Rockstar Games is working on the next-gen upgrade of Read Dead Redemption 2. There is an expectation that more things will go public in a matter of days. #Gaming #GamingNews

2nd wave of birthday games! (Mostly due to busted games, and the resulting store credit)

https://www.twitch.tv/nerdsoftheasylum A rad doubleheader! Im gonna be streaming the newer pinball games Demon's Tilt and Xenotilt!

https://www.twitch.tv/nerdsoftheasylum For tonight's stream, its a retro night full of games that i got over my birthday (Well, the ones that actually showed up in time)

I have been gaming since 1995. My first console was the PS1 and my first game was TEKKEN. My all-time favorite handheld console was the PSP. I played games and movies on that thing. My favorite games to play were Rockstar's Midnight Club racing series. I still can't believe I traded in EVERYTHING for the PS VITA. What garbage!! I mean it doesn't even Remote Play unless you still have the PS4. What is the point of Remote Play if you can't access your console outside of your network, right?? There are so many useless YouTube videos only showing you how to access your PS5 from your own network. No one bothers to show anyone how to Port-Forward the PS5 from the router it's connected to. I decided to blog about it on my website. In fact, I'll be blogging about all my passions: music, Manga writing and illustration, gaming, and streaming.

I am officially uninstalling Gears of War from my Xbox Series S. For the first ti.e in the years I've spent playing this game, I finally see why I must bid it adieu. It's not to say that it's the only game with a toxic community, but you can't even find non-toxic teammates. I'm literally done with it. I'm ready to venture out and play other games, whether it be on my Xbox Series S or PS5. so, if someone wants to take on a newb, I'm your Huckleberry!!!

YOOO!!! My tag name's LOONAHTIQ, and I'm a 38 year old Jersey boy, which makes me sort'a like a fossil in gaming, BUT... I'm a well-known DJ, I don't have any kids, which makes me the one and only kiddo in my house!! I wanna get into games like FORTNITE, WARZONE, APEX, VAMPIRE: MASQUERADE, ETC... So if ya need a second, third, fourth, or fifth, lemme know. LETZ GOOOOO!!!!

And #Unity sparked anger within the gaming development community announcing a new set of fee for games that pass certain threshold and while it is NOT going to be retroactive, made future gaming development under their platform a risky one for small studios. #Gaming #GamingNews

As per Bloomberg , Square Enix had their stocks punished by investors not happy on recent performance, blaming games launched with poor quality assurance and the insistence on relying on producers for public relationship, this includes #FinalFantasyXVI. #Gaming #GamingNews
