Microsoft is working on providing the ability to play Xbox 360 and Xbox One
games on PCs by streaming them through your browser, according to an unconfirmed
report on
Neowin. They say: "And don’t think this is some watered-down experience; one

another stated that this is going to be the company’s next killer gaming

increasingly likely that this feature will be released at some point in the
not-too-distant future." They also add this is not limited to MS Explorer, as it
works in Chrome as well. Thanks

Kickstarter campaign for Shadowrun Returns has the fourth and final
developer diary for Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut, paving the way for

this challenge themselves, and details can be found on the Geocities-inspired
Magicka 2 Sing-along page. The

There's not much summer left, so I want to grill today, but Mother Nature does
not want me to. So I'm threatening to grill, and she is backing up her argument
by threatening rain. I feel like I'm going to lose no matter how I choose.
Here's a
week two NFL discussion thread which can cover tomorrow and Monday's games,
as well as the Thursday night game, where true to form I demonstrated what a
