Glad to see you...

If the gaming industry is an automobile, and the game designers are the drivers, then that makes us, the players, backseat drivers, and we'll be damned if we're gonna let the industry keep on heading the way it's going (good or bad) without letting them know what we think. So buckle up, feel free to complain about there being no air in the back, and bring your most critical and analytical mind to the open air discussion of the current age, Backseat Gamers!

Clothes are great! Not real ones of course, but ones for my Avatar!

Admittedly, I have a problem. I can't stop looking through all of the fake clothes for my avatar and yes...even purchasing said clothes. Amateria is always more than happy to remind me of how quasi handicapped someone would have to be to buy fake clothes/props/themes/gamer pics for the 360, but I can't help it. I love the customization of it and the ever changing looks on my 360. Is it stupid? Yeah. Do I have fun with it? Yeah. I blame Microsoft and RARE for creating transgendered clothing that's free and the fact that you have to actually pay for the decent stuff.

What I really wish I could do is change the "stance" of my avatar. I've been alive for 26 years and I've never once stood like that and it's a sorry representation of my otherwise gansta appearance. I'd easily pay upwards of my life savings to get a "crossed arms position" avatar.

At least the avatar awards look promising.

    Now stop buying it all.

  2. You are like a chick in a shopping mall... the stuff does look cool though and I've been tempted...

    ...and my gf made of my avatar's stance so I totally agree there. He looks like a wimp...
