The avatars have started to grow on me.

Kingdom of Keflings, that uses avatars, is the best $10 game I have bought. Highly addictive.

It is basically city building and directing your minglings (a.k.a. Keflings) to gather the required resources to do it.

Try it out.

If anyone wants to play along, I am sure my friend and I will be playing tonight at 11 p.m. CST.

Indeed...mine looks pretty close to me in real life, and was just put together as a joke...now I get a kick out of scrolling through friends' profiles and judging whether or not they look like their real-world counterparts.

Same here, stupid bastards are cute. >:( Suprisingly, they can really capture your look. Just need more color and clothes options.

One trick I wanna know is how to get rid of that spammy "Spotlight" channel, friggin' obnoxious.

I always hit the guide button immediately after my xbox boots, and navigate from there, so the spotlight channel is not that big a deal for me.

Isn't there an option to the far right of the Spotlight portion that lets you remove it? Or am I just crazy?

I think that option is only for the Welcome channel (are we calling them 'channels' now?) I really find the Spotlight/Events/and Inside Xbox channels redundant, couldn't they just put all that info into one channel?

I just press up once I boot to go to the games section. I have to agree that is very annoying.

And don't get me started about scrolling past the marketplace tabs to get to my friends list.

the Spotlight, Events, and Inside Xbox Channels are the MOST annoying part of the NXE. overall i love the features of it but the redundancy and annoyance of those 3 ad channels almost negate all the good stuff. i just wish i could turn them off!

Just don't wear pants. It's much more comfortable, and you don't have to worry whether or not they match.

I wish there was a way to stop the 360 from asking me if I want to make one when I clearly don't want to.

Idk why, but when the NXE came out last week, a lot of my friends that I know are white had black avatars. Either they want to be black, or they're just racist. or weird.

"Either they want to be black, or they're just racist. or weird."

I don't think it's either, I think it's just a stupid ass conclusion to come to. They're just avatars, don't read too much into it.

Is it possible to make avatar character to stand straight? (Dunno proper Engrish) Or change the pose?

Because the pose (with one leg to side) which is taken by something like 100% of avatars becomes quite annoying and irritating to my eyes.

Even Miis can stand straight. I can't believe that MSFT overlooked that.

P.S. Any bets when the hype over the avatars would go down?

I can understand not caring about the avatars.. but what do you have against a faster, cleaner and all round better dashboard?
