Drown your Xbox Live friends with holiday spirit
25
If you generally disapprove of heinous acts of torture in video games, we'd suggest shying away from the Spotlight channel on Xbox Live until after the holidays have passed. Recently added to said channel is a page which shows several of your Xbox Live friends' avatars encapsulated in an airtight, liquid-filled glass orb. As you watch the life ebb from your friends and family, you can add to their suffering by pressing the A button to violently shake their aquatic prison. You can also asphyxiate a new group of acquaintances by pressing the X button. The horror! The yuletide horror!

You're looking at this the wrong way, Fenix. Your avatar shouldn't need more facial hair options if you'd just take care of yourself and shave once in a while.

I do shave, everyday. It's called a "prettyboy beard". Trimmed and very neat.
Yes I know, that sounds a little douchey, unfortunately :P

Meh, they added *a* jacket, *a* pair of gloves, *a* hat, and *a* pair of boots. Not much to write home about.
Looks like they might need a scuba mask and an oxygen tank, though...

You can press the Y button to make everyone do the wave. Click the right thumbstick and your avatar waves at you.

Heh, the button options listed on-screen *are* suspiciously close to "Shake, Bake, Stir". Coincidence? I think NOT.

Speaking of the Holiday spirit?
How come the 360 doesn't allow me to gift content?
I mean if I could use my points to give my buds maps or XBLA games that would be kinda cool ( with no gift wrapping!)
I mean come on, even the Wii allows you to gift VC games.

I love reading Griffin's posts. They never fail to amuse me. This one in particular was hilarious. :P
