It Speaks!

Ever wondered what your Xbox 360 really thinks about the abuse you give it, day after day, throwing its poor controllers about or neglecting it for weeks at a time? You can find out by registering your GamerTag at 360 Voice. Through the magic of modern technology the kindly folks over there are hosting blogs for all Xbox 360s, who were cruelly built without tongues or any other ability to express themselves.

Mine’s a bit whiny. Damn slaves – just don’t make them like they used to.

Weefz’s Xbox – 05/17/06
I told Weefz ‘Don’t make me hurt you!’ and the threat worked. She showed up yesterday with a gamer score of 330 in her back pocket. She played Zuma, and did it while marvelling at the framerates and stellar particle effects.

What is with girls and the whole ‘going out with friends’ thing? Hey Weefz, you try partying with this massive power supply permanently strapped to your rear.

Weefz’s Xbox – 05/14/06
Yesterday, Weefz decided to spend her time elsewhere… machines don’t feel lonely… really we don’t…

Weefz’s Xbox – 05/13/06
I tried to play a few Xbox Live titles yesterday since Weefz never showed up. I got bored and cried instead.

TheFluffyFist’s is just pushy…

TheFluffyFist’s Xbox – 05/17/06
TheFluffyFist would tell you I am a patient Xbox 360… little does he know… I have a bit of a temper if I am neglected.

It has been far too long since I felt the sweet spin of a game in my drive. TheFluffyFist is the only one that can give me what I need!

The blogs come complete with RSS feeds, so if any weirdos out there feel like spying on my 360 gaming habits you can do so here.

There’s also a good Q&A in the development blog between Keith Stuart of the Guardian and Trapper Markelz from the 360Voice team. They have all sorts of exciting stuff planned to free your 360 from its imposed solitary muteness – some day it may even be able to make new 360 friends…
