Xbox 360 Avatars only in 'E' titles

by Justin McElroy on Aug 5th 2008 11:00AM

Those among us who were less than thrilled at Microsoft's Mii Too avatars being integrated into the 360 dashboard had one modicum of comfort: That some day we would be able to find the overly-cutesy house they lived in in Grand Theft Auto V and murder them with a baseball bat ... until they died from it.

Sadly, it appears we won't be getting that chance. Speaking at Microsoft's Gamefest event, Xbox Live GM Eric Kilgore [/irony] said, "the final guide we have this year is to think of them in an 'E10' context. That doesn't mean it won't change – but this fall they won't be able to blow each other's heads off." Their heads don't explode, and our hearts break. We hope you're happy now, Microsoft.

Aw... I wanted to chainsaw some Avi's in Gears 2.

:(

The picture above is classic!

Sounds gay :S What next, avatar sports?

You sound like a moron.

Stop using the term 'gay' that way. You make yourself look like an immature idiot.

Moorio - stop being gay and get over it.

You gays are guy

Wheres jesse jackson?

@Al Sharpton

Go fuck yourself.

(Thought I'd try communicating in a way you're accustomed to.)

"Wheres jesse jackson?"

I saw him in the garage, hanging Barack Obama's nuts from his rearview mirror.

@ riggs

Probably off somewhere, making someone kiss his ass.

This is the internet, it's pronounced "gh3y".

"Sounds gay" = "awesome".

Time to start changing the 10 year old idiocy of equating "gay" with "lame".

Gay's always meant "ahead of the curve", "trendsetting", "fashionable" and "something boring middle-of-the-road morons don't know about and boy, are those squares losers".

Well in that case, I am SO INCREDIBLY GAY!

Gay to me means cheezy, not crap, which is why 'they skipped joyfully and gay' sounds remotly humourous, not in any homosexual context, have you got a problem with that? If you have nothing better to inform me of Moorio, find someone else that cares.

I can change whatever word I feel like, its not as if the dictionary isn't deranged enough, just the other day I was snapped at for spelling 'color' as 'colour'. So really, what difference does Gay beaing homo, being cheezy or being happy make to me? >.< In fact Moorio, what difference does it mean to you? Its not as if your wife and children will be forever condemned for me choosing to using the term 'gay' in the way I feel like?

Imagine if instead of the word 'gay' to describe something cheesy or lame, you used the word 'Mexican'.

I could have used that, heck, I could have used the words 'spicy', or 'french' ¬_¬

But I chose 'gay', if Moorio wants to cricify me or have me hung for it, let him try.

It would be so amazing if that was teh DLC they were talking about for 360. I might actually think about buying a non-exclusive title for the 360 then.

Hi that picture made me laugh really hard. I am typing with no irony.

Stop the insanity! -- Susan Powter

hahahhahahha
That is seriously the best pic ever posted on this site, followed closely by the brute fabulous pic and the ps3 eats money.

Fabulous Brutes still stand as joystiq's best photoshop IMHO.

This is a close second, though.

As long as I get my Mii beat 'em up on the Wii someday, I'll be happy.

THAT *THAT*, GRANDMA! Yeah, bitch! What do ya think of ol' Hitler NOW?!

...I should be a video game developer.

Mortal Kombat: Mii.....

Epic.....

No no no. That's Midway. They just want to rip off Epic's game design for the next Mortal Kombat, they said.
...y'know...so they can make MK even crappier, if possible.

Hopefully they change their minds soon. I need to shoot someone with my pimped out Avatar.

Damn, there goes my dream of an fps game where u play as avatars and can have blood enabled

exciting

Exciting?

Exciting.

Exciting?

Exciting!

"Exciting"

Exiting...

X-citing

Eckseyetang

X-Play

Imagine Call of Duty with these avatars.
Then we'd really be fighting and dying beside our friends..

"You sound like a moron...Stop using the term 'gay' that way."

And you come across like a pretentious twat. Fight the good fight against discrimination, but using a common pejorative doesn't make him a moron.

Anyway, Microsoft isn't really distinguishing themselves from Nintendo with this limitation. Blowing the everlovin' crap outta effigies of friends and enemies had appeal.

Great photoshop

I agree. One of the best.

Probably the best shopped photo on Joystiq, though the exclusive pokemanz lolcats holds a special place in my heart.

I love how its Shane Kim's avatar. Awesome job.

Think about how insanely culpable they would be if some jackass murdered somebody and claimed after that he'd already done it on Halo and so it was ok.

He/she is what the death penalty is for.

I seem to be detecting a Hot Shots: Part Deux reference.

Thank you, Topper. I can kill again! You've given me a reason to live.

Justin, beautiful photoshop.
