OFFICIAL NIPPLE REVEAL
I miss the avatars, it gave us something to hunt achievements for. I even had different outfits saved for seasonal changes.
I wish both versions got the spotlight again
i remember these it was very fun some of games your avatar was on it especially doritos crash course and kinect adventures youve got prizes in some games that are for your avatar
this dude reminds me of scott the woz
I may of been just a little inspired lol
I’m so glad someone made a video about these honestly everyone’s forgotten about Xbox avatars when they were a part of my personality back in middle school
I miss these designs
I hope another game around these avatars gets made
Honestly, this video fills in such a perfect niche for me because I used to love customizing my avatar a ton as a kid
Really appreciate having a quality video made on this subject as I genuinely think it’s very interesting
Thank you so much! Glad to hear you enjoyed it :) the lack of videos on the avatars is a real shame because I’m sure I missed so much lol.
I still have my Xbox 360 and it still works I'm never ever getting rid of it
holy shit this video is so well made
Thank you so much!! :)
Dude, props for using Sega GT 2002/Online music! I recognized it pretty quickly as that was one of my favorite games I used to play all the time as a kid. I miss how well the Xbox 360 was supported with Avatars and the sort, and I hate the store is closing its doors soon. If there’s anything you’re interested in (Avatar, DLC, Themes, etc) get them NOW! Great video
Omg yeah I TOTALLY forgot, the shop closes in July doesn’t it :( I really hope someone at least archived all the Xbox arcade games since I believe those were all digital only.
Also I’m glad you enjoyed the video :) thanks a bunch. I’ve only played a little bit of Sega GT 2002 since it came bundled with Jet Set Radio Future, but I really really liked what I played and def plan on returning. The visuals are surprisingly crisp for a launch title.
@@stilllogan It really is, I think it’s better than Gran Turismo 3 tbh. If you have your Xbox softmodded you can play Sega GT Online on Insignia (Xbox Live 1.0 replacement). It’s a lot of fun. And I hope someone has archived everything on the Marketplace as well.
As a lifelong Playstation Console Owner since the Ps2 days and advancing through each progressive console until the current PS5,I have to say the Xbox Avatar system and the points being attributed to Achievements was always something I wish Sony would steal for its own Trophy system.
Similar to how the use of Mii's on the Wii has become an iconic piece of Nintendo history,and with Wuhu Island being the best Memory I cherish from my little time owning a Wii,
I've always felt so saddened with how Sony won't allow us to create an Avatar to go along with our Gaming Profiles.
The biggest chance they gave us was with the Playstation Home system and as someone who gamed on a Ps3 for years until I discovered that,when I did and also discovered you could create and a customizable Avatar that couldn't meet and interact with other Avatars in a multiple unique settings was such an amazing Discovery for how limited of a lifespan that idea ended up having.
Its such an absolute shame Playstation Home died the way it did, especially knowing not a lot was able to be archived. I only recently finally got a PS3 for myself and ive been blown away by just how cool of a console it is, i know younger me would of ate it up.
I need to look more into Playstation Home sometime because i really enjoyed the little ive seen. Vinesauce Vinny actually streamed a good bit of it last new years, being my first real exposure aside from the name. Ill link the stream if youre interested :) ua-cam.com/video/8MtEjz5CfGU/v-deo.htmlsi=Mvw6gBakJZthm4uB
btw lol, thanks for watching my video and leaving such a good comment! i always love seeing/reading the reactions of people unfamiliar with the avatar system. also Wuhu island ROCKS, switch sports robbed us...
It's scott the woz but at incomprehensible speed
100% agreed those are things I need to be working on, maybe drinking caffeine before recording wasn’t such a good idea lol. But no I totally agree, I def feel I need to give stuff more room to breathe next time around. That and I’m still working on figuring out exactly what separates me from every other Scott the woz bootleg channel lol.
This was my first time making a video like this, so I appreciate the criticism and I’ll definitely keep it in mind for next time.
Thanks for giving me a chance regardless, even if you ultimately ended up not really liking the video :)
While I appreciate the increased base options for the new avatars they look weird as hell.
It was a nice retrospective. Recently, I unlocked a Crazy Taxi avatar award and now I'm grinding to get Axel's shirt (Only thing I have to do is pass 10 hours of game time lol)
Oh that’s super cool! I didn’t even know crazy taxi had avatar items, I would have been all over that when I was younger. Glad you enjoyed the video :)
I wish steam had avatars and stuff for them that you could buy in the points shop
hey man, I see a lot of potinel with your videos, keep up the good work!!
lol I just remembered my xbox avatar and was hit with nostalgia looking at my xbox live pfp (it's a picture of my avatar during an animation). I used to play doritos crash course a lot and had a lot of fun. I was also a fan of wipeout at the time so it was great. It was also fun customizing my character and changing up the props every now and then for a new fun animation. So glad I found your video, it was nice going down memory lane and learning more about the backstory
The potential is huge, imagine Xbox partnered with a VR company properly and you could actually have a virtual Xbox hub where you appear as your avatar, driving up incentive to purchase clothes, props and pets.
Then you could have loads of new games built around the avatar concept and even some existing games could make it playable as your avatar!
I just think it'd be far cooler to have the actual experience link to you a little more haha
Rip Doritos Crash Course + World of Keflings, we miss you :(
Wow, such a greatly made video man; I was so surprised when I saw this videos view count and your sub count. I was expecting them to be in the high numbers for such a high quality vid, honestly it’s structured better than UA-camr vids who be having millions of subs
Thank you so much :) I put a good bit of time into making this video so I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it! Here’s hoping one day UA-cam will bless me with the almighty algorithm boost lmao.
Wow! What a great video LoganNerd! You know, you look just my good pal Logan who just so happens to have the same name as you.
Unrelated I swear
It is unequivocally bussing my lord
this emits scott the woz energy AND I LOVE IT
I may or may not of been a lil inspired ;)
Black ops 2 probably had my favorite prop with the drone
Nowadays sure you have the avatar store on newer xbox…. But you’re not able to see your avatar anymore due to some bug issue that they had not yet fixed.
Damnnn that’s super lame lol. I don’t have a current gen system (or last at that) so I haven’t experienced that personally but that’s such a shame to hear nonetheless.
@@stilllogan yep cause even if you try reset the system and set it up again. The avatar still doesn’t pop up at all.. which is crazy cause even if you already bought things for your avatar you still can’t see it nor any of your friends. 🤷♂️
Do be rockin that Fable 3 drip
He never once’s mentioned Turbo Joyride 😢 that’s the best avatar game by far for Xbox360
YOURE RIGHT! i completely forgot to mention kinect games. i really should look into making a part 2 talking about some of the kinect games with avatar compatibility. i remember Kinect Adventures was like one of the best.
i plan on modding one of my consoles soon (mainly to access the aforementioned indie games) so maybe ill compile a list of Kinect games as well
why make such a banger video and not make more im mildly depressed now
Lmao I appreciate it :) biggest reason really is I’m a bad procrastinator lol, but I do have some stuff in the pipeline. I actually had a full video about the 3DS good to go but I ended up not really liking it so it’s just been collecting dust while I think of what else to do a video on. Glad to hear you liked the video though, super appreciate the comment
Quality Video for a small UA-cam channel
Thanks!!
@@stilllogan Please make more about Xbox 360 just for nostalgia
So, exactly right now with the Xbox series X what is the current point of avatar’s? Can someone please explain…
All I got from this is that you barely see them past the Home Screen. And they were playable in a few games. But the games that they were playable in are discontinued…
So what are the props for? do you compare props with your friends or? Is it literally for your own pleasure watching it?
I don’t see the current point of avatars?
I can’t say with 100% certainty since I don’t own a newer Xbox, but from what I understand you hit the nail on the head; They’re pretty much pointless and entirely for your own amusement. Even back in their prime 360 days, they always felt relatively half-baked. If it weren’t for the avatar shop, they probably would of dropped them a long time ago.
Would love to see a response from someone with experience with the newer consoles though!
@@stilllogan thank you so much for this reply
Lol I use the 360 avatar on my Xbox One
I always forget they did that weird redesign lol. Glad they give you the option to choose between the two, mega based
Yeah lol@@stilllogan
@@stilllogan Its sad the 360 store is closin in July of next year.
I’m surprised it lasted *this* long honestly lol but agreed, it’s such a shame. I just hope with the remaining time, archivers end up having enough time to back up the exclusives like with the 3ds/Wii u
how u get that pfp on the 360
If you're referring to the Fidget one, iirc you *should* unlock it after downloading and opening Dust: An Elysian Tale. It’s been a while lol, but in general I believe it’s an unlockable from that game
now i want hotpockets. where my hotpocket homies at?
The hot pockets corporate team wondering why their sales are suddenly skyrocketing
i assume you didnt wanna do a collab with that guy because you hearted literally every other comment
good video btw
And ultimately, that’s my loss…
Also thanks lol, glad to hear you enjoyed it :)
Wanna do a collab?
Long time no see 😢
Finally, some good fucking food
THIS VIDEO IS BAD
