A minor item in today's Alpha Skip-Ahead notes: "We've made improvements to the way titles are sorted alphabetically in your library." These are fixes we made for achievement sorts but you should see better sorting in My games & apps, particularly within franchises. Old/New:

Hey XBOX, if you pre-ordered Gears of War: E-Day and were having trouble installing the Multiplayer Beta from your full library, that should be fixed now.

Found and bought a sealed copy of Criterion's Y Tu Mama Tambien blu-ray at a local used movies store today. If they announce a 4K tomorrow, you're welcome. (Also got import 4Ks of Master and Commander and Kingdom of Heaven: Director's Cut—it was a good haul)

Be careful, the beer that is advertised as having been “conditioned on Ferrara’s Atomic Fireballs” may taste exactly like Ferrara’s Atomic Fireballs

Working through my emotions in Chicago looks like “Italian beef featured in all three meals” I’ve had Italian beef egg rolls before but the arancini was a first

Kit Kat of the week: cookie dough. The swirl coating seems to be the new normal for these "premium" Kit Kat releases, and I don't know how much that changes the flavor. Creamy and buttery. I really liked the old Chunky cookie dough flavor, and I really like this too!

Hey XBOX Beta Insiders: If you didn’t see the new features earlier when you took the build, please reboot your console. There was an unfortunate delay in getting things enabled.
