NXE Avatars of the Rich and Famous

by Justin McElroy { Nov 20th 2008 at 10:40AM }

...Well, OK, they're not that rich. Hell, if you want to get persnickety about it, they're not even particularly famous outside of a particular sphere. But you're reading Joystiq, so we're going to assume you're in said sphere and present you with some e-celebs, accompanied by their new NXE Avatars. Consider it a companion to yesterday's avatar look-a-likes.

Along with those digi-stars, you're also going to see a lot of guys from Joystiq, because we know most of those guys and they have to do whatever we say. If you're a celebrity left off the list (or just know the gamertag of one) feel free to ping us: tips aat joystiq dawt com.

[Update: We've added a ton more people, including 1UP's own Garnett Lee! Check it totally out.]

How did Major Nelson get green hair? I didn't see an option for turning hair color green, I only saw gray, white, brown, black, blonde, and various shades of red.

Dirty @ Nov 20th 2008 10:48AM

One of the many benefits of being the Major.

From GameFAQs: "If you go into your avatar editor, and select Change Features (where your hair, and nose, and things are), if you mess around with your Avatar for a few minutes (shaking and nodding his head, etc) the hair icon will rotate, move cursor to hair and click. you will hear a noise and your hair will be pink. Select your hair style, and now you have another page of colors including red, blue green, pink, purlpe, and a couple other shades. Keep in mind that if you remove an "unnatural" hair color, you will have to do the trick again, but if you keep one, they will remain there."

You really should get that checked out McElroy.

Lavat @ Nov 20th 2008 11:24AM

They all are shifting they're weight to one side...See...When a Wii like avatar does it...It makes me truly dislike it.

Shagittarius @ Nov 20th 2008 11:27AM

I don't like how every avatar male or female has chick hips.

Jakka ( The Order of Haters of Balance) @ Nov 20th 2008 11:30AM

To paraphrase Fenix:

FUCKIN TEH GHEY!

tib02 @ Nov 20th 2008 11:38AM

Its hard to tell whether its male or female....

xFenixKnightx @ Nov 20th 2008 11:40AM

FUCKING RIGHT JAKKA!!!1

I for one welcome our newfound estrogen.

Dirty @ Nov 20th 2008 11:53AM

Yes and very lame shoulders. On top of that it keeps doing this pageant queen wave that makes it look super teh gay.

You should be allowed to give it different personalities, like I wish mine gave my friends the finger all the time.

Shagittarius @ Nov 20th 2008 12:18PM

On the bright side it will be amusing to hear the bigots hate on gay people while their avatars look totally gay.

ill trooper @ Nov 20th 2008 11:36AM

How many skull faces do we have to see over the next 6 months... or beyond?

MOAR OPSHUNS

Haon @ Nov 21st 2008 3:20AM

Dont worry, you will get more soon enough. $$ Rules.

xFenixKnightx @ Nov 20th 2008 11:39AM

I'm just mad that they only have two beard options. TWO!!! WTF! lol I have a very neat and trimmed beard not a scruffy one like the one they have. :P

Overall they're actually pretty cool and seeing all your buddies together in a party is sweet too. Other than the occasional freeze that happens (which I know they're working on) when in the dash it is AWESOME!

(The Award-Winning) dark_inchworm @ Nov 20th 2008 11:46AM

Yeah, my beard-like thing is only an eighth of an inch long when I trim it, but the only beard-like thing available for avatars is something like three inches thick. No thanks.

Dirty @ Nov 20th 2008 11:51AM

I keep a scruff, and would like to have a scruff option.

Whats a "beard like thing"?

(The Award-Winning) dark_inchworm @ Nov 20th 2008 12:01PM

I just talk all weird-like.

Saria the Cat @ Nov 20th 2008 12:21PM

@dark_inchworm: See, I have the opposite problem. My beard-like thing in real life is at least 6 inches long and that 3 incher is just not enough.

...I mean, I can't make my avatar boobs big enough. Yeah, that's right...

(The Award-Winning) dark_inchworm @ Nov 20th 2008 12:24PM

"and that 3 incher is just not enough."

Look, I told you not to bring that up in public.

AwesomeTown @ Nov 20th 2008 12:28PM

I have like a constant 5 o'clock shadow. I would like that option. Hell, I got that option on my Mii.

Shagittarius @ Nov 20th 2008 12:37PM

Saria I am disturbed by your first statement and intrigued by your second.

xFenixKnightx @ Nov 20th 2008 12:39PM

Agreed, GT please! :P

Obie @ Nov 20th 2008 12:47PM

Saria, ya gotta post a pic of the bearded boob lady!

Ya know...just for curiosity! ;)

Saria the Cat @ Nov 20th 2008 1:48PM

@Obie: ...And he made me a Photoshop idea I could not refuse! http://www.flickr.com/photos/sariathecat/3046502624/

Now your task is to decide which of the attributes is fake---the beard, or the boobies?!

Heh (Mr. ESC, living in the hearts of us all) @ Nov 20th 2008 2:11PM

The boobies are the fake ones, obviously.

xFenixKnightx @ Nov 20th 2008 2:16PM

Damn, Saria looked bangin on the beach. In 2006 lol!

I agree with Heh, boobs are totally being squeezed to seem, plumpier. I dont mind either.

:P

Saria the Cat @ Nov 20th 2008 2:19PM

*sigh* 2006 was a good year.

(The Award-Winning) dark_inchworm @ Nov 20th 2008 2:21PM

Nice picture. Mustache ride?

...oh god damn.

xFenixKnightx @ Nov 20th 2008 2:32PM

2006 WAS indeed a great year. Gears of War 1 released and rocked mah world. :D

Shagittarius @ Nov 20th 2008 2:44PM

Nice picture, when do we get to see the "beard-like thing"?

xGeneral DEATHx (Mr ESC Welcome Back Party Ultimate Mega Action Force) @ Nov 20th 2008 3:15PM

Yeah, those b00bz are t3h f4ke. ;-p

Cute kittahz, though.

Obie @ Nov 20th 2008 7:17PM

Lol Saria, you are a trip. :D

rTwelve @ Nov 20th 2008 12:09PM

I WAS wondering why Soulja Boy didn't have one, until I saw his account got hacked:

http://live.xbox.com/en-US/profile/profile.aspx?pp=0&GamerTag=souljaboytellem

assuming that's what "ran a train on" means

Zach S @ Nov 20th 2008 12:22PM

I too wait with bated breath for the grand spectacle that Soulja Boy's avatar will be. You can't even beat him at Bioshock, man, how're you gonna beat him at avatar making?!

Saria the Cat @ Nov 20th 2008 12:22PM

This post probably made my day. Too bad I am about to go to sleep right now. Highlights are obviously the fire crotch, lion-holding, and panda-riding.

My biggest complaint is that all the glasses on the avatars make the boys look like they have giant bags under their eyes. First I thought people were going for realism, then I realized it was the lighting.
