Its crazy to think how much I legitimately cackled at these when they hit the scene, no shade to younger us, it was novel then. just funny to think about is all
It’s weird that that’s just how humor seems to go. At one point, the pinnacle of comedy was someone getting pied in the face.
This is because comedy often revolves around subversion of expectation. When something becomes expected, like a pie to the face, it’s no longer funny.
free comedy tip, slick. the pie gag’s only funny when the sap’s got dignity
I was legitimately irritated when the called the gen after 360 the “One” instead of the “Delta.” They had a good thing going, why would they F that up?
To this day, I am amazed at how badly they effed that name up.
It’s effing crazy, I say.
Good thing? Xbox’s whole naming scheme is just shuffling in place for a while with the ‘360’ and ‘One’ before devolving into incomprehensible ‘series whatever’. Microsoft are comically bad at naming.
P.S. They had actually decent naming going on with ‘Forza Motorsport’ 1-7, and then decided to reset back to no number in 2023 for no good reason. It’s like they’re outright trying to be ridiculous.
The Xbox naming always reminds me of the “New Nintendo 3ds” which was different from the “Nintendo 3ds”. People probably got paid a lot of money to come up with the stupidest names.
everybody called the xbox 360 “the 360” so they figured if they named the next one the xbox one everybody would call it “the one”
‘Eks bone’ is the kind of thing why designers spend time finding any and all obscene or unbecoming connotations in their projects before the customers have a chance to do that.
and the triangle is green… like the xbox
The ring is red… like the Xbox
