He spoke to Microsoft and they're gonna restore his account with everything he had, but no mention of a refund; I was at work when he talked to them. You guys have any experience with this?
It happens from time to time. Always have 2 step verification on.

If Microsoft doesn't do a refund I bet the credit card company will. I'm assuming your account is tied to a card.

Thanks. This sounds like good advice that I'll pass along to my son.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Funny, we used to take the card info out all the time because they would make rando purchases and swear they didn't.

The Game of Thrones one is fun but it stresses me the fuck out. It's a cool way to experience a story for sure.

GoT was stressful.

Some good sales on the PS Store again this week. Thinking of picking up Virginia.

Also, anyone who hasn't played Inside should buy it this week. It is half off.

Four or five different characters. None are from the show, though, I believe.

Yeah, they're all kind of "fill-in-the-gaps"characters that they made up to fit into the narratives of the show. It's cool. I'm very impressed with how the mechanics work, it's pretty seamless.

It follows several characters from a minor house in the North with cameos from some of the major players in the series.

Bought 20$ dlc for forza and I can't access it because I'm not far along enough in the game

Since when do you pay for something and are not allowed to play it whenever you feel like playing it?? Mutherfuckers!!

Bloodborne was like that too.

On an unrelated note, I forgot how much fun the Last of Us' multiplayer is.

Are people still playing the Last of Us multiplayer regularly? I tried logging on a couple times after I finished the story, and it seemed like a ghost town, so I never returned.

Does the Deus Ex series exclusively hire awful voice actors?
