We don't believe three generations of Xbox leadership have ever been brought into the same room before to share secrets and stories of Xbox history. Until now.

Australia’s Getting its First Queer Gaming Festival in GX
Queer gaming festival GX, formally known as GaymerX, is coming to Sydney.
GX Australia is an LGBT-focused event designed to emphasize "inclusivity across the board", says organizer Joshua Meadows.
"GaymerX in the US has renamed itself to GX, to put less of an emphasis on the "gaymer" part that had caused some confusion as to whether or not the convention was only intended for gay men, or was unwelcoming to people who aren't in the queer community, and stuff like that", Meadows said.
"We've been discussing this with the US team behind GX since they originally launched their event in 2013, and we're very excited that after the success of GaymerX in San Francisco, Australia was picked as the first international location for the convention."
Jarvis, Daniel Sousa to Return in Agent Carter Season 2
Agent Peggy Carter may be crossing the country to investigate a new threat, but she won't be doing it alone.
Both James D'Arcy and Enver Gjokaj have agreed to return alongside Hayley Atwell for Agent Carter's second season. Playing Edwin Jarvis and Daniel Sousa respectively, it's unclear at this time what roles their characters will play in Peggy's cross-country endeavor.
Although it has not yet been confirmed, Entertainment Weekly also reports deals with actors Chad Michael Murray, Bridget Regan, and Lyndsy Fonseca are also likely to be announced. D'Arcy's return is particularly unsurprising, as he was already announced to be on the upcoming Comic-Con panel.

5 Ways Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Was Awesome
With Terminator: Genisys in theaters and an all new set of actors stepping into the iconic roles of Sarah Connor, John Connor, and Kyle Reese, we thought we'd take a quick look back at the truly excellent (though short-lived) FOX series, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Josh Friedman's sci-fi series may have only lasted two seasons - 31 episodes - but it holds the distinction of being the absolute best entry into the Terminator saga following the first two movies. With Game of Thrones' Lena Headey as Sarah Connor (yes, now only the first GoT actress to step into Sarah's sizable boots), the show gave us an alternate route for John Connor's story following T2, as our perpetually on-the-run heroes -- thanks to Summer Glau's Terminator, Cameron -- time travel forward from 1999 to 2007, essentially skipping over the events that would have happened in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, including Sarah's death from leukemia.

WB Reportedly Knew Arkham Knight Had Major PC Issues
Batman: Arkham Knight publisher Warner Bros. Interactive was apparently well aware of the technical issues that currently plague the PC version of Rocksteady Studio's trilogy-capper.
According to sources close to Kotaku, the publisher knew the PC version had problems months ago, but decided to ship the game anyway.
"I will say that it’s pretty rich for WB to act like they had no idea the game was in such a horrible state," an anonymous QA tester said. "It’s been like this for months and all the problems we see now were the exact same, unchanged, almost a year ago."
