Directed by Damon Gameau
Written by Damon Gameau
Australia, 2014
The Australian doc That Sugar Film comes ten years after Morgan Spurlock's novel Sundance hit Super Size Me, the sobering and darkly comedic expose on the fast food industry that took audiences by storm and spurred change in regards to how high profile companies like McDonald's portioned some of their meal options; it also charted the effect of said company's product on the body, an experiment that now feels cheap and dated in the hands of writer-director and test subject Damon Gameau, who not only copies Spurlock's approach to test and trial, but finds little reason to keep us intrigued.
Gameau's plan to upend his healthy eating lifestyle with a high sugar diet as we watch his mood and weight fluctuate is hardly anything eye-opening after Spurlock's similar antics just a decade ago. »

The partners have teamed up with Morgan Spurlock, Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady plus Gini Reticker on a trio of shorts celebrating entrepreneurs that will go out on VOD, Vimeo and other platforms on July 15.
Tribeca Digital Studios and American Express co-produced the series. The three films are below. Synopses provided by Tribeca.
Buffalo Returns (main picture) by Gini Reticker
In the face of a powerful recession, crippling unemployment and a housing crisis, a small, creative and energetic band of Native American businesspeople, with the help of the buffalo, rebuild their community through a growing business, Native American Natural Foods, the company behind Tanka energy bars.
Acclaimed documentary filmmaker Gini Reticker weaves together beautiful imagery set to the pulse of the Sioux Nation to carefully tell the story of two entrepreneurs who use tradition and ingenuity to bring opportunity and hope to the people on the Pine Ridge Reservation. After nearly going extinct, the buffalo »

Fast-paced, entertaining and informative, "That Sugar Film" is a cautionary tale about the hidden sugar content in everyday food products, the health problems that high sugar consumption creates, and the food industry's deliberate efforts to obfuscate the sugar content of various products as well as the ingredient's addictive power. With its peppy, pop style, complete with silly, colorful special effects and animation, this documentary should prove accessible to school-age viewers, who might profit the most from its frank information about sugar's effect on their minds and bodies. Although ancillary biz is likely to outweigh theatrical, overall returns should be, er, sweet.
Much like Morgan Spurlock's "Super Size Me," "That Sugar Film" centers on an experiment by writer-director-producer-protagonist Damon Gameau, a wiry thirtysomething Aussie awaiting the birth of his first child. Under the guidance of a team of scientists and nutritionists, he becomes a human lab rat, »

I have recently started building my diet around the Whole30 concept. I read Dallas and Melissa Hartwig's book and have been prepping the kitchen for the switch. Not because I necessarily need to lose weight (though there are a few lbs I'd like to shave), but because after talking to a friend and him telling me how much better he feels and sleeps, not to mention the waist trimming benefits, I figured I'd give it a twirl. Now the Whole30 way of eating means removing things like dairy, grains, soy and other items from your diet, but obviously one big contributing factory to unhealthy eating is sugar and man, it's in everything. I haven't officially started the Whole30 program (not doing the full 30 days until the second week of August), but I've basically been eating as well as I can without the proper preparation -- it isn't easy.

From internalized homophobia and self-hatred to code-switching, misogyny and bullying, David Thorpe's "Do I Sound Gay?" brushes up against a lot of tough issues, though its treatment of them is usually as cheeky as its title. A half-autobiographical, half-analytical exploration of the origins and implications of the stereotypical "gay voice," Thorpe's documentary can sometimes seem a bit intimidated by the various cans of worms it pries open, but it's nonetheless a breezy, funny, often quite clever film more concerned with minor epiphanies than big answers. Well received at festivals, the Sundance Selects pickup should find an appreciative audience in limited release and on VOD.
When we meet the fortysomething writer-director Thorpe, he has been out for decades, lives in one of the country's most tolerant cities, and largely seems comfortable in his own skin. Yet after a bad breakup, he finds himself on the train to a restorative Fire Island getaway, »

It's been a surprisingly interesting month of moving and shaking in terms of doc development. Just a month after making his first public funding pitch at Toronto's Hot Docs Forum, legendary doc filmmaker Frederick Wiseman took to Kickstarter to help cover the remaining expenses for his 40th feature film In Jackson Heights (see the film's first trailer below). Unrelentingly rigorous in his determination to capture the American institutional landscape on film, his latest continues down this thematic rabbit hole, taking on the immensely diverse New York City neighborhood of Jackson Heights as his latest subject. According to the Kickstarter page, Wiseman is currently editing the 120 hours of rushes he shot with hopes of having the film ready for a fall festival premiere (my guess would be Tiff, where both National Gallery and At Berkeley made their North American debut), though he's currently quite a ways away from his $75,000 goal. »

Damon Gameau: 'Right from the beginning, I thought if you're going tell the story of sugar, you have to use all the tricks the food industry use - but subvert them' Damon Gameau's That Sugar Film looks beneath the surface of 'healthy foods' to examine how much sugar is in them and what it is doing to our bodies - using himself as a human guinea pig. We caught up with him at Edinburgh Film Festival to talk about the success of the film, being mentored by Morgan Spurlock and what the documentary has achieved since its release.
Aw: How important was it for you to have a broad audience that included teenagers as well as their parents?
Damon: 'What we're saying to people is, this is not a diet, it's just about trying to eat real food' Dg: It was the number one goal from the beginning. »

This funny and enlightening exposé of how unhealthy "healthy" processed food actually is is shocking, even if you're already down on corporate food. I'm "biast" (pro): not a fan of corporate food
I'm "biast" (con): nothing
(what is this about? see my critic's minifesto)
Sure, it's a stunt. But it's one that makes some dramatic points that are worth heeding. Australian actor Damon Gameau (Charlie's Country), a pretty healthy eater who eschewed processed food and refined carbs and whose bloodwork showed him to be in fine condition (low cholesterol, good blood pressure and liver function, etc.), changed his diet for only 60 days to start including the 40 teaspoons of sugar that that average Australian consumes each day. (That's a lot less than the average American eats, and only very slightly more than the average Brit.) And though this is a Super Size Me type of endeavor, »

Peppy visual effects and input from Hugh Jackman and Stephen Fry can't elevate this glib and oversimplified film above high school teaching tool
With its director-protagonist Damon Garneau embarking on an experiment to see what a typically high-sugar Western diet does to his at-first healthy body, this documentary is a straight-up rehash of Morgan Spurlock's adventure in junk food, Super Size Me, but filmed in Australia as well as the Us.

★★★★☆ Damon Gameau's feature documentary about the detrimental effects of refined sugar and excess fructose on our health is both educative and entertaining. The central message of That Sugar Film (2015) is that the calories from sugar behave differently from other foods. Recalling Morgan Spurlock's McDonald's overdose in Super-Size Me (2004), Gameau set himself the task of eating the equivalent of 40 teaspoons of sugar a day for sixty days and filmed the experiment. However, he did not eat junk food and confectionary or drink fizzy drinks, but consumed only those foods and juices perceived as healthy. Gameau's body was a clean slate as he had not eaten refined sugar for three years.

Morgan Spurlock's latest film, "Crafted," has recently debuted at the Los Angeles Film Festival and gave audiences an inside look at how the art of craftmaking has endured even while technology rivals the practice of making things by hand. The film, which is now available for streaming on Amazon Prime Instant Video and exclusively available for four months at Amazon.com/Crafted, is based on Spurlock's passion for the artisan community. "Creating high-quality products that hold meaning – from making food to crafting tools – takes a relentless level of commitment and passion, particularly in our society where disposability reigns supreme," he said in a statement. "I am thrilled that the stories [ Read More ]

Morgan Spurlock is an admitted workaholic--he's still delivering shows for his CNN series "Inside Man"--who can't say no. And he's prepping a new Maker channel to launch in August. He admits that he sleeps about four hours a night. Still, given a window to shoot a half-hour doc short about three sets of artisans, he took it. He shot with a small crew, traveling to Georgia, San Francisco and Japan over three weeks. "I'm in a fortunate spot, as a filmmaker," he told me, "to actually take projects you want to make vs. ones you have to make. I have the ability to take 6 weeks or a month to do short films. When I have a window I jump at the chance." Tuesday night he debuted his new half-hour doc "Crafted" at the Los Angeles Film Festival, which was made available exclusively Thursday on Amazon Prime Instant Video. The »

Well folks, after a rather long and brutal winter (at least for me here in Buffalo), we are finally heading into the wonderful warmth of summer, but with that blast of sunshine and steamy humidity comes the mid-year drought of major film fests. After the Sheffield Doc/Fest concludes on June 10th and AFI Docs wraps on June 21st, we likely won't see any major influx in our charts until Locarno, Venice, Telluride and Tiff announce their line-ups in rapid succession. In the meantime, we can look forward to the intriguing onslaught of films making their debut in Sheffield, including Brian Hill's intriguing examination of Sweden's most notorious serial killer, The Confessions of Thomas Quick, and Sean McAllister's film for which he himself was jailed in the process of making, A Syrian Love Story, the only two films world premiering in the festival's main competition. »

Specialty distributor Music Box has picked up U.S. rights to "Censored Voices," an Israeli documentary about young soldiers returning from the battlefield. Music Box is planning a theatrical release later this year setting the film up for an Oscar-qualifying run.
The film was directed by Mor Loushy with author Amos Oz and editor Avraham Shapira. In the week after the 1967 'Six-Day' war, a group of young kibbutzinks, recorded intimate conversations with soldiers returning from the battlefield. The Israeli army censored the recordings, allowing only a fragment of the conversations to be published. "Censored Voices" reveals the original recordings for the first time.
"'Censored Voices' is a fascinating reflection on war and remembrance. We think it will be a timely and provocative experience for Us audiences," said Edward Arentz, MD of Music Box.
Sales of the film are handled by U.K.-based documentary specialist Dogwoof. The company scored a string of other sales. »

It should come as no surprise that Cannes Film Festival will play host to Kent Jones's doc on the touchstone of filmmaking interview tomes, Hitchcock/Truffaut (see photo above). The film has been floating near the top of this list since it was announced last year as in development, while Jones himself has a history with the festival, having co-written both Arnaud Desplechin's Jimmy P. and Martin Scorsese's My Voyage To Italy, both of which premiered in Cannes. The film is scheduled to screen as part of the Cannes Classics sidebar alongside the likes of Stig Björkman's Ingrid Bergman, in Her Own Words, which will play as part of the festival's tribute to the late starlet, and Gabriel Clarke and John McKenna's Steve McQueen: The Man & Le Mans (see trailer below).

While Gamechanger Films is aimed at funding female-directed fiction features, Chicken & Egg Pictures, which was launched eight years earlier in 2005, focuses on nonfiction films from women directors. The non-profit was the idea of Wendy Ettinger, Julie Parker Benello and Judith Helfand.
"We were all filmmakers and wanted to create an entity that gave other women filmmakers the support we wished we had had," recalls Ettinger. "We discovered that whatever resources we provided — be it mentorship or funding — the filmmakers ran with it. The films got better and the community we were serving grew."
The nonprofit receives 600 applications annually for 15 grants and provides mentorship programs.
Lately, it has been addressing the issue of career sustainability in the face of burnout. Says exec director Jenni Wolfson, "Often the first film a woman makes is a passion project that will bleed her dry financially and emotionally and take years to make. »

Most people mistake personal training to luxury, in order to achieve physical fitness someone must follow the procedure given by the trainer. Previously, people never used to understand the benefits of body training but nowadays almost everybody is busy exercising. Quite a number of people prefer going to gym while others on the field to train, the most preferred type of exercise is running around the field. Either way, someone is benefiting by keeping his or her body fit and healthy. Below is some of the merits a trainee gets from fitness training:
Fitness training aids in the prevention of diseases such as heart related diseases and diabetes. It's said that people who train extremely hard don't fall sick often. This is because exercising helps the heart to function properly by making the blood through vessels and arteries to flow faster to the other body parts. Diabetes being a disease which is caused by large sugar deposits in the blood can be prevented by regular exercises, during exercise, sugar is broken down to provide energy to the body muscles.
Reduces blood pressure by making the heart more active and therefore its capable of supplying blood to the body cells and tissues. Blood pressure is a lifestyle disease which when not treated may lead to death especially when a person is suffering from other diseases like stroke. Personal fitness training is thus recommended to people with such like illnesses. Training has been proven that can make an individual to lose weight. Exercising increases the body metabolic rate which in turn breaks down fats to provide energy and glucose that the muscle needs.Some food diet like proteins which when not taken carefully can lead to increase in body weight. A person who is not muscular has a lot of fats in the body, fats which are deposited around the heart are very risky as they can slow down the heart rate. Even though fats around the heart acts like a shock absorber, too much fat is dangerous to someone's health.
Most people train to gain muscles, persons who play games like rugby needs to be very muscular. They gain muscles by exercising on regular basis, exercise breaks fats which are replaced by the muscles. Muscles are of great importance to the body as they are responsible for holding various organs. They also maintain the body shape by giving support to the bones as well as enabling movement in human beings. In order to gain more muscle, a person should seek a biosignature poliquin training in Melbourne as they are professional in matters to do with body maintenances and physical fitness.
The last and most important benefit a person derives from fitness training is that someone's sleeping patterns improves significantly. A person who trains do not have problems with sleeping, this is because they are always active, for instance a person who has no control of sleeping patterns can sleep during the night and daytime, but this may never happen to people who exercise.

Since his passing, many have been and will continue to be writing about their memories of and experiences with Will Campbell -- and rightfully so. I look forward to reading them. But I now understand why Will chose to keep his Thomas Merton memories to himself.

It may just be the hope we need: that the Christ who lives is on the move; that the Christ who lives is alive in the world around us; that while we celebrate the resurrection inside our churches, the Body of Christ is alive and well and walking outside our walls.

Region: Southeast
Topic: Propagation, Pruning
Title: Century Plant
Answered by: Anne Van Nest
QUESTION:I have a century plant that has just begun to bloom. I have a transplanted a few pups, successfully. I am wondering how I am to go about removing the mother plant once it blooms and dies. I'm reading that the sap can cause severe reactions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Congratulations on transplanting your agave (century plant) pups successfully. Agaves summon up energy to bloom and then subsequently die anywhere between 8 and 40 years, (the 100 years is a misnomer) will produce new plants (pups) that can be gently removed and replanted. Handling the pups and the mother plant takes some muscle and a lot of care as the large parent leaves have long, sharp spines that are very dangerous if they get close to skin or eyes. Once the mother plant has bloomed and the pups removed and transplanted it is time to tackle the parent plant. Leather gloves, long sleeves and pants will protect your skin from the sap. The parent plant can be chopped or cut into manageable sized pieces with an ax or tree saw. Start by taking off the outer leaves and when enough have been removed then carefully tip the plant over so that you can work on the rest. Try to remove most of the woodiest part of the root too. Retrieve any additional pups you find and transplant them too.
Here are some previous Mr. Smarty Plant answers about removing the pups and transplanting them if you need some additional suggestions. Also some information about preserving the flower stalk.

3 tasty alternatives to lamb & ham for Easter
Many who celebrate Easter do so, in part, by gathering with family and friends to share a meal. Traditional Easter meals tend to feature lamb or ham as the main course.
Some vegans and vegetarians prefer to steer clear of meat substitutes, and that's OK. But if you aren't averse to giving the meat substitute a try, or are an omnivore who wants to prepare an easier version of nachos that are not as high in fat as their real-meat counterparts, then this is the recipe for you.

With Microsoft's gamescom press conference mere hours away, little bits of news are starting to pop up here and there that it didn't deem worth making part of the main conference. From the looks of it, some additional HoloLens functionality has been announced to help kick off the day.

During yesterday's GDC Europe talk "One game across PC, Phone, Xbox, and HoloLens," it was announced that the API for Windows Live will not only be supported on Xbox One and Windows 10, but also Windows Phone and the HoloLens. The idea here is that ID@Xbox developers should be able to create software that is cross-compatible with all four devices in the near future.

So, we will hopefully in the future see games that are cross-buy for multiple devices, with a shared store, saves, achievements and support. Does this make you any more excited about HoloLens?

Look, I know Mike has gone on and on about Rocket League already, and you're probably sick to death of hearing about it by now, but I don't even care. This game is fucking awesome. Seriously, I just can't get enough. I've played it non-stop since the minute it finished downloading (MVP in my second ever online match -- aww, yeah), and I have no plans of stopping any time soon.

It's like that first time you sipped milk from your mother's breast and just knew you never wanted to stop, ever ever ever. It's that good. (Also, hi Mom!)

Dtoider Krigo is hosting a match tonight on PS4 starting at 6pm Pacific. Considering the game is still free on PS+, there's never been a better time to try it out! PC players, you can enjoy it too! And if any of you are playing, go ahead and organize in the comments for some last-minute FNF shenanigans!

The Games with Gold lineup for August looks good. It's probably not enough to convince me to renew my lapsed Xbox Live Gold membership, but I seriously considered it for a minute there.

On Xbox One, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes will be free to download from August 1 - 31, followed by How to Survive: Storm Warning Edition from August 16 - September 15. I played the latter years ago -- at E3, I think it was -- and thought it showed promise for a zombie survival game.

Xbox 360's free games in August are Metro 2033 (August 1 - 15) and Metro: Last Light (August 16 - 31). I'd much rather play the upgraded Redux versions on Xbox One, but such is life.

While Call of Duty has lost a lot of its steam from the Modern Warfare 2 glory days, Activision is still pushing ahead with the DLC schedule for the series. Now that Black Ops 3 is on the horizon, it's time for Sledgehammer to stand down with its final map pack for Advanced Warfare.

Brimming with originality, Recknoning DLC 4 will wrap up the Exo Zombies campaign, and introduce four new maps: Fracutree, Overload, Quarantine, and Swarm. There's a trailer up above full of gameplay from these new maps, should you want to take a look.

Reckoning DLC 4 will be released on Xbox on August 4, with other platforms to follow afterwards.

Now that we're close to the end of Advanced Warfare, how do you think Sledgehammer Games did with their first full outing?

My tank is empty and it's been a rough week. Have some dirty limericks! Share your own below!

There once was a fellow McSweeny
Who spilled some gin on his weenie
Just to be couth
He added vermouth
Then slipped his girlfriend a martini

There once was a man Robin Hood
Who lived in a Knottingham wood
He learned how to fuck
from old Friar Tuck
And made Marion whenever he could

There once was a fellow O'Doole
Who found little red spots on his tool
His Doctor a cynic
said Get out of me clinic,
And wipe off that lipstick you fool!

A pirate, history relates
Was scuffling with some of his mates
When he slipped on a cutlass
Which rendered him nutless
And practically useless on dates

There once was a woman named Jill
Who swallowed an exploding pill
They found her vagina
In North Carolina
And her tits in a tree in Brazil

-Have a good Friday everyone!

One day there was a promiscuous pony, and that little whorse decided to cross the road. He had heard someone shout "HAY!" and wanted to see who it was. The voice seemed to come from down an alleyway. The little whorse grew scared though, he'd had nightmares about such things. He asked himself if this was something worth investigating and decided neigh. Just then, a figure from behind caught his eye. The figure looked familiar, but the whorse couldn't remember his mane. The fleece sweater didn't help identification either. The figure darted away from the whorse, but thankfully the little whorse was on a stable diet and could give chase!

Dashing in and out the way of carriages and other passersby, the chase continued down to the main road and ended in front of the horspital. The whorse asked the figured why it was running from him and the figure answered, "I'm not running, I'm leading." "To what?" replied the whorse. "To all these savings at Old Neighvy next to the horspital!" The little whorse just stared at the figure, unsure how to answer. He was sad that this wasn't a grand adventure, but an elaborate sales pitch. The figure, growing uncomfortable with the silence, looking good in that sweater, asked "Why the long face?"

Then a comet hit the horse planet and everyone died. They were dead.

Felt underwhelmed by the mediocre selection of gaming deals in yesterday's Amazon Prime Day? Here are some decent gaming deals today from Paypal, eBay, and Dell.

Trade in eighty-five US Dollars and get $100 worth of Xbox, PlayStation, Facebook, Skype, or other major retail chain money today from PayPal. A ton of gift cards are 15% off when you spend at least $100 on qualifying items - i.e. buy two $50 PSN gift cards here and watch the price drop to $85 at checkout.

Imagine the things you can buy with $100 worth of Facebook Game credit!? (Check this list for all qualifying gift cards in the promotion - most are just restaurant cards.)

This is like that song "Closing Time," except it's less about a bar shutting down and more about Plants vs. Zombies not being free after today. Maybe that's what the original song was about. I've always been super bad at deciphering lyrics.

Anyway, come tomorrow, the bell tolls for the gratis status of PopCap's tower defense game. Make sure to give it a download now if you're an Xbox Live Gold subscriber who doesn't already have it. Those are the perks you pay for, after all.

Next on the docket is Gears of War 3 to finish off the month on Xbox 360. Xbox One also gets a new free title tomorrow: So Many Me. That's in conjunction with Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag on Xbox One which also runs until the end of July.

If this seems like a sudden influx of games, well, it kind of is. Xbox altered the Games with Gold program this month to include a second Xbox One title every month. With backwards compatibility on the horizon for Microsoft's current platform, snagging all these Xbox 360 games certainly isn't a bad idea, even if you've relegated the thing to your closet.

I am pretty damn addicted to Rocket League at the moment (It's sad that's the last article about it from us, c'mon guys). Soccer with jet powered cars.... just works. It's the most insane, competitive fun, that I've had in a long time. I do hope some of you will join me on Steam for a match or two. I didn't think this would be something that I would be interested in at first. Once you get a match under your belt though.... Well, if you have a soul, you're hooked.

The controls are spot on, graphics are top notch, physics are believable. You can fucking jump and dodge! It's just a very well put together game. Plus: HATS! I love that my little, purple monster truck has a fireman hat! If you can't love that, then you can't love me. Put your pants back on and get the fuck out of this shed in the Home Depot parking lot, that I call home.

Rocket League is available on PS4 and on Steam (Early Access, but solid as fuck). Buy it.

Remember last Christmas when I gave you my heart when PlayStation Network and Xbox Live were down for days at a time? That was caused by a group known as Lizard Squad of which 17-year-old Julius "zeekill" Kivimaki was a member. Zeekill recently had his day in court and was found guilty of 50,700 charges -- yes, you read that right.

The punishment for committing thousands of crimes as a teenager in Finland is apparently quite elegant, as zeekill was only sentenced to a two-year suspended sentence -- basically probation -- and was ordered to fight against cybercrime. The judge might as well have sternly shook his finger at zeekill and loudly scolded "NO!"

That being said it is refreshing to see a kid be allowed to make mistakes without being treated as an adult and thrown in a broken prison system for the rest of their life, something that surely would have happened here in the United States.

What? Did you think we were lying when we said there'd be an imminent Xbox Ultimate Game Sale? We love you too much to lie to you. We're like that riddle about the two guards at a forked road leading to paradise or death, except we're both guards and we always tell the truth.

The point is that an Ultimate Game Sale is happening right now, and you could save some dough on Xbox games. Alternatively, you could turn your nose up at the offers and think "Nah, none of that really appeals to me." We don't know your life, man. Only you do. Take care of yourself.

Here's the full list of deals for Xbox One and Xbox 360. The discounts shown are for Xbox Live Gold subscribers; Xbox Live Silver accounts can usually expect prices to be around ten percent more.

What can any single one of us say about the greatness of M. Randall Antoinette of Dixonia III? What could we say that does him justice, I mean? Andy is larger than any one achievement, act, or even nipple. Andy is a God amongst men. Little is known about how Andy got the amazing powers he wielded. Some say he was born with them, some say he got them off a guy he blew outside an Indian Casino by the highway at 3am, many stories float around. We are not here to speculate though. We are here to celebrate.

As many of you celebrate freedom tomorrow, remember who gave you that freedom. Remember who sacrificed their third testicle and battled a witch dog from space, for you. Remember Andy Dixon. Remember him every time you see a sparkler. For the sparkler up his butt trick was his favorite.

Be safe this Fourth of July folks, and let's play some games!

Do you have your eyes set on a particular Xbox game right now, and the digital storefront keeps calling your name and begging you to hit the download button? It might be best to resist temptation a little longer, because there's a chance you'll find it on sale next week.

Xbox is throwing another of its Ultimate Game Sales next week, and those typically have the best digital savings of any of the platform-holder's discount events. The trailer that was released this morning states that more than 70 games will be on sale, including the likes of Mortal Kombat X and Dragon Age: Inquisition.

All the savings start on July 7 -- next Tuesday -- and go through July 13. The typical format is a list of sales that run the entire event, with separate day-specific discounts. That means you have to check in every day, which is a small price to pay for smaller prices to pay.

We're winding down the month, which means it's again that time where Microsoft lets its Xbox Live Gold subscribers know the new titles they'll get for free as part of Games with Gold. But, this announcement comes with a nice little surprise that makes the program considerably more appealing.

Starting in July, Xbox is giving away two Xbox One games every month instead of one. Adding in the two Xbox 360 titles that are already included, Gold members can download up to four free games every month.

The Xbox One's release schedule is a bit staggered, but ultimately better than the 360's. A new game will pop up on every first and 15th, but they'll all be available for four weeks instead of two. As always, we'll be here to remind you to nab those freebies, lest you forget and miss out on the biggest upside to your Live subscription.

July's Xbox One titles have already been revealed, and they deal with clones and crossbones. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag sticks around for the entire month, and indie platformer So Many Me is available from July 16 until August 15. On the 360 side of things, Plants vs. Zombies takes the first half of July, and Gears of War 3 rounds out the back end.

Today is a special day in my family. It's the 57th anniversary of a great historical event, our great-grandfather (Thomas Kinkade Jefferson Johnson), took part in. The year was 1891, and old Gangsta Herp (as Grandpa was known to the locals) had just met (then) President Woodrow Wilson. The meeting occurred in the swamplands of Idaho and concerned the growing issue of pubic hair styling. At the time, the President was in favor of the more traditional Jheri curl. Gangsta Herp however, fed up with oily pantaloons, had campaigned across the country and showing off a new style. One that would sweep the nation, and enter the hearts and minds of young and old alike.

That ladies and gentlemen, is where the mohawk comes from. Thanks Gangsta Herp.

I have only ever played Halo campaigns in split-screen, couch-sharing co-op. This streak will end with Halo 5: Guardians, according to this month's Game Informer cover story, because Halo 5 does not support splitscreen co-op, likely to preserve the 60fps gameplay.

If you want to play with friends, you'll have to do so over Xbox Live (contrary to what was initially reported in the Game Informer story, Halo 5 online co-op does require Xbox Live Gold).

The campaign pits Chief and Blue Team against the better equipped Halo: Nightfall's Locke and Fireteam Osiris. Blue Team members will always be present with Chief and if your friends fill them out over online co-op, note that they all have slightly different loadouts.

Gaurrdians of Ga'Hoole will also launch with 20 maps (all free) and add 15 more as DLC by June 2016. New multiplayer features will be unveiled at E3.

June is almost upon us, and as is tradition, it'll be quite a busy month in the video game world. E3's set to take place in just a few weeks, at which point we'll get a ton of news about upcoming titles. It's like your birthday, but without all the crying and disappointment. Well, maybe there will be some disappointment.

The new month brings about another tradition for Xbox Live Gold subscribers in that there's a new set of gratis titles via Games with Gold. This time 'round, Double Fine's Massive Chalice makes its Xbox One debut free of charge. Pool Nation FX is also hanging around for the third straight month, but it still acts as the second free Xbox One game when there is usually only one.

On the legacy side of things, Xbox 360 gets Just Cause 2 for the first half of June, and Thief on the tail end. Kind of a jarring juxtaposition there -- blow everything up, and then sneak around quietly.

Of course, given that this is E3 month, any of this is subject to immediate alteration. It wouldn't be too surprising for Microsoft to add to this list during its press conference. Anything to get those prospective subscribers signed up, right?

The last couple of times we talked about Rogue Legacy coming to Xbox One, a bunch of you let the good vibes flow, so here's the bookend to that coverage: it's available now for $14.99. Better yet, the title is only $11.99 (20 percent off) for a limited time if you're an Xbox Live Gold member.

I've become much more invested in the Xbox One version, though nothing has really changed, content-wise. The comfort of playing on a couch versus being cooped up in an office has done wonders. Love how quick it is to jump back into the game, too. A matter of seconds.

Also, the website still lists Patrick's quote, "I don't just roguelike it, I rogueLOVE it." How precious.

Guys, I have a problem. I'm thirsty as hell. Not for some sweet meat slapping, but for blood. Your blood. Someone needs to hit me up on Xbox or PC for some Mortal Kombat X action. I have 9 Komplete on PC as well. LET'S DO THIS THANG! I need my spear to be inside you. All of you.

My wants and needs aside, I haven't seen a lot of folks playing. I think I'm the only one who's even hosted it (just because I put these together, doesn't mean I pay attention to you people). Seems everyone is waiting for the Komplete edition down the road and I honestly can't blame you. The absolute bullshit DLC practices of WB are disheartening to say the least. $30 character packs? A second one just announced? Skin packs not even included in that first $30 purchase? Way to kill sales guys.

With today's Xbox One update, users can now send and receive audio messages -- and there's cross-platform support, meaning Xbox One folks can correspond with Xbox 360 people, and vice versa. If you're wondering what the holdup was for this feature, we have something in common.

Besides messaging, the update also lays the groundwork for dedicated servers for Party Chat. "Over the coming weeks, we will start to expand the availability of the party chat relay services beyond preview members to a broader audience as we continue to fine tune the feature and scale out the servers needed to support party chat relay services," Microsoft said.

If you're a SmartGlass user, you'll now be able to turn your Xbox One on and off using the app for Windows, Windows Phone, Android, and iOS. And, lastly, the console's initial setup process is being tweaked so users can more readily select a power mode (instant on or energy saving).

At this point, I'm used to just ponying up some discounted rate of $60 for Xbox Live Gold every year. I've done it for so long that I often forget it's tied to all multiplayer situations on the service. When I think about it, I guess I'm still not used to that aspect of it.

This weekend, you can rage with your friends for free, though. Xbox is throwing a free multiplayer weekend, and that means you don't need to dish out cash to talk to your friends and kill alongside them. But, that all changes after May 3 when you're back in solitary confinement.

When I cover these Games with Gold posts, sometimes I'll comment how the announcements are akin to flipping the page on a cute animal calendar and finding out what kitty, or puppy, or baby duck in a bonnet the next four weeks or so hold for you. Imagine your surprise at turning the page to find that exact same baby duck staring back at you. Except, maybe he has some baby duck friends.

That ill-crafted analog is kind of how May's Games with Gold go. Xbox Live Gold subscribers who took advantage of April's titles will notice Pool Nation FX offered for a second straight month. The good news is it's a "bonus" of sorts, and there are more games alongside it; the bad news is they aren't all that enticing.

May's (other) Xbox One game is CastleStorm: Definitive Edition. Mafia II makes up the first half of the month for Xbox 360 users who find comfort in undertaking menial gangster tasks. Two weeks later, F1 2013 takes the wheel from the mob, and drives away really fast.

Maybe June's calendar picture will be cuter.

Xbox Live's small weekly Deals with Gold sale features an interesting juxtaposition of games this week. One title strives to teach you about an under-represented culture. Most of the rest task you with lining up across from people indigenous to other countries, and blowing them to kingdom come.

That is to say, Never Alone and Call of Duty are heavily showcased. We Are Doomed is also present, for anyone who's keen on killing polygons rather than people. These discounts all run through April 27.

Xbox players may have noticed recently that Microsoft has turned a new leaf when it comes to the quality of sales. Once known for being laughably bad, Microsoft's often very respectable Ultimate Game Sales have gone a long way to reverse that perception.

Unfortunately, the new spring sale doesn't quite fall in line with recent trends. This offering of discounts on Xbox One and Xbox 360 games rings of titles and add-ons that the company's having difficulty selling otherwise.

Still, no harm taking a gander. There may be something there to pique your interest. I'd recommend the fantastic Rayman Origins at the Gold-member price of under $5.

When asked on Twitter what to expect in the upcoming Xbox One preview update, head of Microsoft's Xbox division Phil Spencer replied "Preview is going to get interesting in the next few months. The members do a great job with the Quests etc, we'll need it."

Spencer's tweet could be in reference to the fact that Windows 10 functionality -- including Xbox One and PC cross-play as well as the ability to stream Xbox One games to your PC -- is coming to Xbox One and surely requires public testing.

To help that process along, it looks like Microsoft is rolling out rewards for Xbox One preview members. Folks who are level six or above should receive a SMITE download code via a message from Xbox Live. Preview members can level up by completing surveys and quests in the Xbox Preview Dashboard app.

The SMITE alpha is the first reward to be given out based on levels in the preview program. For those unfamiliar with the game, it's a free-to-play third-person MOBA and it is pretty darned fun. If you didn't get into the SMITE alpha, you can always sign up for the upcoming beta.

We're at that point in the month where it's time to start thinking about which adorable kitten is waiting to replace that other adorable kitten when you flip your calendar, and less importantly, what Xbox's Games with Gold titles will be. You can probably sneak a peek at the kitty cat whenever you want, but Microsoft's already allowed us to steal a glimpse at our free games.

April is fairly special in that there are twice the number of titles offered to download for free for Xbox Live Gold subscribers. Whether or not you're interested in all six of them is another story.

The two Xbox One games in April will have you chalking your cue and spouting off rhymes in awkward rhythm, too. Pool Nation FX and Child of Light are both available throughout the entirety of the month.

Those on Xbox 360 will find themselves sticking blades in necks, and chainsaws on guns. But, that's only half the fun. Gears of War: Judgment and Terraria will be available from April 1 to 15 (no foolin'!). After that, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel take over until it's time to flip to yet another kitten.
