The answer is on the abdomen! THE ANSWER IS ON THE ABDOMEN! SOYLENT GREEN IS MADE OF PEOPLE!
There was a thread started by a mod not to far back that asked for suggestions for the name of the new Xbox. My suggestion was scorpian, and though 360 is th ename, the scorpian is the logo for ourcolony. I should get a small royalty for my insight.

What if the system were shaped like this
)(
Have the center be straight and the two ends split in two protruding outwards giving it an X shape. As a bonus it'd give it stability when standing it up. I think it'd look really hot.

I tend to agree. Getting in a big tizz over how a console looks is akin to caring what the fucking packaging my motherboard came in looks like. As long as the console allows me to play cutting edge games it really doesn't matter.
All things being equal though, I wouldn't mind a nice looking design.

Well my take on it was in teh verticle position. But yeah, pretty similar to what you're showing in the horizontal position, but more concave in the middle to emphasize the X.
Kinda like this:

visualize the lines in the middle and the lines up top making a curve (can't do it in ascii).

Sony are the masters of design. Do not doubt for a second that the PS3 will be most likely the best looking console out of the bunch.
The PS2 fit in perfectly with anyone's electronic center. If you stood it upright, you could mistake it for a PC workstation.

ok, I just saw this thread now so if I'm late on the bow tie joke just mock me mercilessly
There we go, I exepct it to look something like that. Except on both ends, make a cut to give it the look of an X, so that both ends look like this

Meh. I prefer a console that looks like a console. The Xbox may be too fat and have that ugly green X, but at least visitors immediately know it's hooked up. The Gamecube is easily hidden in the backdrop, but looks like a kid's toy if you put it right in the center.

Okay, I can't believe I'm trying to explain this, but otherwise I'll hurt my head banging on my desk.
* Stand up in your room and face a door.
* Turn 90 degrees clockwise, and you're now facing a different direction.
* Turn another 90 degrees clockwise - this is the same as turning 180 degrees clockwise from your initial orientation - and you'll now be facing the opposite from the door. Your back should now be facing the door.
* Turn another 90 degrees clockwise - this is the same as turning 270 degrees clockwise from your initial orientation.
* And finally, do another 90 degree clockwise turn - this is the same as turning 360 degrees clockwise from your initial orientation. Note how you're now facing the door again - you're back at where you started.
And by the way, it's spelled scorpion.

I'm not sure if )( can be used if Hurley has a copyright on it:
But I don't know if they do have a copyright.

Thank you, so very much. The only thing I've been able to think while reading this god damned thread was "YOU DUMB FUCK" every time he posted. And now that somebody who isn't at risk of getting banned said it, I don't have to.
But he sure is one dumb fuck, no?
bishoptl said:
Lets take a simple example. You want to take a walk around the block. Next to you is a black car. You take your walk around the block. When you arrive at your starting point now there is a white car. How the fuck did that happen or do you still have your head in the clouds?

Bish, please tell me there's a clause in the TOS that states that mods can ban someone for being a moron. Please.

But that would demean Chappelle to be compared to sysgen. He's just pretending to be stupid, sysgen embodies it.

Lets take another example:
you look straight ahead at dawn, at the earliest incarnation of the day, and you see a black bookbag for which you have to take to school and everyone has. You turn around to put your school clots on, and when you go to get your bookbag, it's WHITE. You made a full revolution with your head
(BTW, the Xbox isn't black

not an idiot
hmm... I thought that design was stolen? i remember seeing a picture of an old computer that looked identical to PS2. how could they win awards on a design they just copied? -if indeed they copied it (not saying they did for sure as i just have a vague rememberance of that whole copy thing)Marconelly said:You are not bursting any kind of bubble. PS2's monolithic design is in fact very good, and it was very impressive back then when it was unveiled. I know that a lot people I know were quite impressed and surprised it'a game console when they first saw it. It also won a lot of appraisal among insdustrial designers back then.
Hell, it looks pretty damn good even by today's standards:

The worst thing about the name Xbox 360 is that idiots try to find hidden meaning in it. Fuck, what's next "PS3 means that it's the 3rd coming of a station in a far away galaxy where the inhabitants (named, funnily enough, Psyborgs) do nothing but play around with each other"...holy shit, Sony is deeep.

This is how great the Xbox 360 name is. It will have kids across America saying its a 360 degree turn around in the opposite direction. And our country gets knocked for our math skills.

360 represents a cycle. Yeah sure you can walk around a fucking block and shit can be different when you get back, BUT you're still in the SAME DAMN PLACE AS WHERE YOU STARTED!!!
Your example of a car being white is rediculous in the context of this argument, as we're stating POSITIONS. 360 puts you square back where you started, regardless of other factors. For your argument to even make any sort of sense, you need to incorporate TIME as a factor of the equation, whice NONE OF US are debating.
See how things go in circles back to where they began. Unless you never learned what a circle was in like fucking kindergarden, don't try to argue something you can't even comprehend let alone make a decent argument out of.

It's a complex mathematical equation.Pedigree Chum said:
(g)r + d = 360
where g(r) is the number of good Rare games this gen and d is the number of degrees in a circle.
