Additional sunglasses to be added to the Avatar Editor photo

Major Nelson is a tease. Yesterday afternoon, the Xbox LIVE guru announced the arrival of additional sunglasses to the Avatar editor via his blog. Men and women were said to receive a variety of multi-colored “Shutter Shades.” The men, for whatever reason, will also receive a pair of “Hippy Shades.” Despite the monumental nature of the update, Microsoft has yet to release it.

The delay is unfortunate news. Through research, we’ve learned that three kinds of people wear sunglasses: hip people, freedom fighters jacked into the Matrix, and glaucoma patients. Who wouldn’t want to give their Avatar either of those characteristics through the power of eyewear?

In other news, I uploaded a picture of myself wearing “Pilot” sunglasses. And look, I’m waving! How adorable. (We’ll keep you updated about the glasses.)

@Blasto: First of all, home sucks! Second, ILY lol! Home looks fun but I'll stick with the Xbox avatar. Home would just distract me from playing Killzone or MGS4(If I had a PS3).

I am looking forward to the shutter shades. Been waiting for those babies for awhile now he he

Your obsession with cocksucking scares me as well as everyone else reading this. (If I may speak for the majority) If I recall, you love being able to put some new "dazzle" on your Xbox avatar. If you were really against it, you would leave it on the little kid with the rock shirt and mohawk. You really need to watch your mouth mister before someone shoves a bar of soap in it. (I'll make sure it's red like in A Christmas Story)

P.S.
LoLz

Thank this useful post!I am looking forward to your next one.Today I want to share some great dvd movies.
You can find DVD Movies now online due to high technology. DVD Movies online is rather cheap and have full seasons. You needn’t wait for months and you needn’t downloads for nights. Now you can order hundreds of DVD BOX SETS in few minutes.
P90X is the good Body Building Guide for family. Both women and men can excise their body everyday in home which is very comfort and easy.Spongebob is the best seller of dvd sets online.
Also Star Trek Series sell very good because its fan are not only adult, but also elder and children.
Star Trek has 5 series all are very interesting and amazing, it is why Star Trek can last for 5 series.
What I like most is Scrubs and Desperate House wife. I like these dvd box sets because it affect the real life, I feel the story and roles are real in these 2 dvd boxset. But my mom like True Blood
And Lostwhich are full of fantasy and amazing. She said she can feel very relax while watching these fantasy movies after a day heavy housework. Yes, she is right, people watch movies for full most.
My Daddy like Greys Anatomyand also Dexter, he likes comedy and he feel very happy while watch these comedy dvd box set, for example:
Big Bang Theory
My husband like action and suspense movies most, he feel very exciting when watch these dvd box sets, the master piece should be CSIand Bones
There are too many good dvd sets and movies and we haven’t time to introduce one by one. You can search online to find many famous movies such as
Ncis and the new released one Doctor Who
