I think Nicole is just having some fun here. Why are you so sensitive over someone showing some fanart of Pauline and the Princess dating?

Did a lesbian run away with your mother or something? Because you sound way too upset over a picture that should otherwise have no effect on you.

You will need a screwdriver, a pair of tweezers, a magnifying glass (optional), some salt (~1tbsp), and a bag of chicken feed, preferably corn-based.

Best Kotaku article I’ve ever read, along with a valuable life lesson.

It doesn’t help that all of those grey background pictures they released as official are god-awful on the technical aspect. Bad lighting, poor posing, awful choice on background. Even the better-looking models in the game look like shit.

I loved my original Xbox & 360. Why Microsoft has gotten a bad rep recently is that the Xbox One was rushed & Microsoft isn’t developing enough groundbreaking AAA exclusives. This gen i’ve jumped to the PS4 but if MS can get their shit together i’d be willing to go with them again. Besides I have a gaming PC so it’s…

Since they look more like Dreamworks characters they should be paying them (though really it’s a chicken/egg scenario because Dreamworks was lifting from Pixar and Pixar was lifting from CSA style).

Home looked like the red headed step child of second life

I don’t understand why Microsoft gets such a bad rep. They’ve done a lot. BC for all generations of Xbox, first to allow external HDDs, etc. Now making avatars with this awesome art style. Although it’s not necessary, it’s still kind of fun.

You... you for real?

Doesn’t help that Home ran like ass and had nothing in it but a million pointless cosmetic microtransactions.

Way back when MS was pushing XNA as a way for indies to develop for the 360, they provided code and examples to use Avatars in this way. Unfortunately the restrictions on what exactly the dev could do with the Avatars were pretty major.

Ah yes, the famous pixar patent on generic CG looking people.

No one would have used that feature is why. That sounds like a horrendously awkward way to pick games.

Honestly, they could do the whole thing Nintendo’s done in the past, with inserting your avatar in various games. Stylized games aren’t terribly common from microsoft, but i think it would be great to see some uses for these beyond simple avatars.

Women play video games? Why that’s a notion so preposterous that I shall need to fetch my fainting couch and smelling salts!

Or if your friends have a XBoxs, iPads, Switches, and/or PCs then maybe you look to buy one of those. There’s only one scenario where it might benefit them and even in that scenario you are still playing in your walled garden while everyone has the rest of the world to play in.
