Every Monday your Xbox will blog a recap of the previous week's play. Some of you might have noticed that these have been appearing very late Monday or even Tuesday morning. There is a particular piece that has been causing us problems, and that's the new game recap. If you have played new games that week, your Xbox will mention them. However this is just too intensive on our system. So the bad news is we had to turn it off.
The good news is it will be back in about two weeks. I think it's just too valuable/fun of a feature to do away with, so we are going to do a bit of database rework and make it work. But because we have to make these changes, it's going to take a day or two to get the DB change in, and then we need a full week for it to populate the data. As an additional benefit this is going to bubble up a new piece of data for us to play with, so I am guessing Squidpunch will find a cool place to use it on the games list. Nothing major, but new data is always good.
Update: Recaps finished in record time today, and badges are done as well. Going to be making a database change, so you might notice very sluggish blogs sometime between 6:30-7:30 EST.
First Played in APIs? Please?
