Well, another year is almost over (mercifully). What are my "gaming" resolutions for 2016? Probably mostly 720-1080 P. Not that type of resolution?
Gamerscore:
* Increase to 125,000 (primary account), 67,000 (secondary account)
- currently (110,927 and 52,090 respectively).
* Xbox 360 gamerscore: increase to 80,000 (currently 75,000 ish. 100K would be cool, but is probably too much) - primary account
Other:
* Beat at least one game (see credits)
* Do not buy any game at $49.99 or higher
* Neverwinter: hit level 70 with at least one character
* Placeholder for anything i forgot

A Guy Walks Into a Target
So, a guy walks into a Target. Why would anyone do such a thing, you might ask? Well, they are currently having a buy 2 get 1 free sale on all video games (until Sunday November 15, 2015).
This guy figures "what the heck" it is Friday the 13th (awesome). He says he will get the deal if he can find a third title (though he could probably just add a third title and return it - but that would involve talking to people, yuck). He thinks, i wish i wouldn't have bought Forza 6 already. Unfortunately, the Target website "inventory tracker" wasn't working so he couldn't tell what was in stock before going. He found Fallout 4 and Rise of the Tomb Raider, but another $60 title was not appealing (never mind their crap selection of games). Sure they had Halo 5, but Halo 5 isn't worth $40 as a single player title.
So now he will have to wait to see if he can get a decent deal on Black Friday (for newer games probably not), though Best Buy and/or Amazon.com will likely have a buy 2 get 1 free promotion in the not too distant future.
As an aside, the Target website kind of sucks. They changed the weekly ad format to make it much worse, now you can't even zoom in on the small text in the ad (and the links are frequently wrong).

NXE and Backwards Compatibility Has Landed
The New Xbox Experience launched today. i'm not sure if this has any performance enhancements over the stock Xbox One OS. However, aesthetically, i much prefer the old method. Sure you can still do the same, but i liked the original Home area - now i have to scroll down to find what i want (under My Stuff), stuff like games and achievements.
Xbox 360 backwards compatibility has landed with the first 104 games. Not surprisingly, i had a few of these. Hopefully i can free up some GB on my 360. This is going to take a lot of time to download. Strangely enough, these games seem to come with a little more overhead (or percentage wise on some XBLA games, significant overhead). That is to say that Xbox 360 backward compatible titles have a larger file size on the Xbox One. i didn't have some games installed on the 360, so i don't know the file sizes. These are digital games only
