X-Play: Xbox Live Orientation

by Xav de Matos { Apr 26th 2008 at 2:45PM }

Xbox Live gets us mad. We don't mean because of the dips in service that happen from time to time, we don't mean some of the exorbitantly priced content; we mean the people. We love people, but on Xbox Live social normality is thrown out the window as some gamers just need to turn on that hate. We always thought it was because some people (not all, but you've met these people too) are just straight up jerkfaces (see also, Asshats) but apparently some gamers were just introduced to Live via this orientation video.

X-Play created a (sometimes) funny video that's meant to shine light on the personalities of Xbox Live and how the hate came to be. Video's embedded after the jump due to some NSFW language and crude humor, but remember the whole thing is a gag and is meant to have you shake your head in both understanding and disgust because it's pretty accurate. Unfortunately.

I think it would be kick ass to have something like this streamed directly to someone's 360 when they are signing up, I'm tired of meeting douchebags on LIVE.

Dragod @ Apr 26th 2008 3:08PM

Lol, a lot of times XPlay's skits are really funny. I loved the one about The Pokemon kid "Billychu", and the "This is Yu-Gi-Oh town motherf****er!!" part of it.

Also, "XPlay Cops" is hilarious, with Kratos, Zelda and such. Good stuff.

Arno @ Apr 26th 2008 3:09PM

Hahahaha. Kudos X-Play, that was actually pretty fuckin funny!

Guy: Do you really play video games?
Adam: Go fuck yourself.

ZombiesRPplsToo @ Apr 26th 2008 3:23PM

X-Play is way too under appreciated

Kudos.

"Are you going to bring back TechTV?"

If only it were actually true. That would be a day of rejoice for me and many others.

legendtaker117 @ Apr 26th 2008 3:46PM

Hilarious!!

Magic Whiskey @ Apr 26th 2008 4:46PM

Wish I got G4 TV... :(

That was funny though.

LoyalistRevolt @ Apr 26th 2008 4:53PM

HAHAH That was amazing!

xenocidic @ Apr 26th 2008 5:26PM

That was epic. I wish we got "real" G4TV in Canada and not that G4TechTV crap.

Give me Ninja Warrior or give me death!

Mrblonde @ Apr 27th 2008 3:28AM

Be grateful you have that and not what we have in the US. Ninja Warrior is cool and all, but the only two things worth watching here are X-Play, AOTS, and Ninja Warrior. In fact, I can only watch AOTS if Kevin is hosting that particular day. Don't you guys have Judgment Day or Reviews On The Run as it is called now?

xenocidic @ Apr 27th 2008 11:07AM

yes we have Reviews on the Run...

I watched the US G4TV pretty often while I was overseas, and yes, mostly just the X-Play, and AOTS (Olivia Munn +1) and (Women of)/Ninja Warrior. some unbeatable banzuke but not as much.

marlowned @ Apr 26th 2008 5:29PM

Xbox Live is actually much worse than this skit portrays. There was not enough racism in this video to make it realistic... there were also no high-pitched-voice-having thirteen-year-olds screeching and singing into their mics.

CG0 @ Apr 26th 2008 8:35PM

Seriously. But really, 13? Try 8 or something. Those kids make my ears cry... and I blast metal on my iPod a lot.

Mr.ESC @ Apr 26th 2008 10:54PM

Why the hell kids sing in mics? Seriously I have heard kids around the world in French,Spanish,English singing bullsh*t.Seriously it seems every kid does it.

Mr.ESC @ Apr 26th 2008 11:19PM

Xbox live is the place where lowlives from all the world met.Do prisions give xbox live accounts to their convicts?

ANt @ Apr 26th 2008 8:01PM

I was just about to say how funny it was, then Sessler showed up on it.

ian @ Apr 26th 2008 8:15PM

ManicBomber @ Apr 27th 2008 3:04AM

...and in come the banter and baying of sheep to comment on how accurate this video is.

Megias @ Apr 27th 2008 4:00AM

"if somones beating you at halo , then they eaither cheating or are gay."
LMAOO funniest fuckin part replayed it a dozen times. HAHA its soo true thoo haha

mattclarkie @ Apr 27th 2008 5:46AM

No, if somone at CoD4 is having the shite shot out of them by you, but when you see the killcam, after they killed you with one shot, every single one of your bullets was going in the opposite direction then they were cheating.

Bac0nator @ Apr 27th 2008 8:57AM

GTA4 IN 2 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Picking it up at midnight, got two days off to own that shit.

JP @ Apr 27th 2008 6:47PM

Some people on xbox live gold are friendly. But mostly, it's shocking and depressing to witness how many ignorant and dangerous humanoid animals share the air we breath and the streets we drive on.

I wish Microsoft would somehow cordon off places for relaxed adult gamers who want to have fun.... and keep out the gang-bangers and felons.

Diane @ Apr 27th 2008 8:19PM

Agreed 100%, I'm the first to admit I'm an older gamer, and would love to find some of the games where teens weren't running around screaming at everyone (I just don't get it)

ManicBomber @ Apr 28th 2008 2:19AM

"relaxed adult gamers"

Translation: People who bitch and moan when they can't impose their idea of how to play a game on the whole world. I'm so tired of the "adult gamer" on Xbox Live. I'll take the 13 year old screaming whatever internet meme into mic over the "I take this way too seriously" adult gamer.
