Quantcast



 
Okay, sometimes people are hardcore freaks, like the type you meet when you go to a circus out in the middle of nowhere, and that can be kind of inspiring: you know those people have challenging and yet ultimately fulfilling lives. Then, you have another variety of freak which is able to blend into the general populace; that's where Xbox 360 guy here fits in (unless he has his hair dyed green too).
 
There's nothing wrong with his digs, they're actually kind of cool considering the effort he must have put into them. What's wrong is his voice. He sounds truly scary the entire time he's telling you about his creation, with a tone that's somehow simultaneously masturbatory and reverential. You try to get into a fanboy war with this guy, he might kill you and mount your head in here as a prize.

I wonder if he painted his wang green too.

Also, from the sound of his voice he sounds like the type of guy that kidnaps helpless women off of the street and drags them into that room of horror where they are forced to play Undertow for days on end.

Holy crap he DOES sound creepy. Only thing I really liked about that room was the mini fridge in the wall. That was cool.

One thing I just noticed (sorry for posting so soo nafter my other one), but for someone who has an "Xbox Room", shouldn't he have more games? It looks like he has about 10 Xbox and Xbox 360 games total. Unless the rest are hidden somewhere...

It also sounds like he's touching himself while he's filming.

If he was a real 360 fan he would have had that fridge loaded with Mountain Dew Gamer Fuel.

I want someone to go over to his house and hide his 360 so that he goes around the house calling, "Precious? Precious!"

From a chamber in the room ... "I think it's D-pad is broken!"

"Don't you break my controller!"

"Don't you make be break your controller!"

"You don't know what pain is!"

"Pain is on the PS3, you dumbass!"

Viral marketing? Subversive art piece? I find it increasigly hard to believe that the Internet isn't just filled with ad execs and satirists these days. I JUST DON'T BUY IT COLETTE I JUST DONT :|

I like the way you described his voice Colette. I think that's perfectly apt, masturbatory and reverential. Also possibly murderous, I would put that in there as well.

Man that is some scary shit. It almost feels like a joke, but judging by the room I guess it couldn't be.

Holyetheline: Yeah, in what way could this guy possibly function in society well enough to pay for all that shit?

Hints that it may be one of those two things:

MARKETING HINT: no beer in fridge. Indeed, if this guy is >21 (which hopefully he is ot make this room) he'd have ot have some beer in his fridge-- especially if he was going to be in a room that garishly green. Indeed, Microsoft loves their marketing (viral or otherwise) to be obsessively Rated E, and showing alcohol is a definite T rating.

ARTIST HINT: If this guy were just some schmo without any degree of artistic integrity, how did he layout the room so gracefully? Why did he opt for a surreal checkboard tile pattern instead of a giant Master Chief decal? Why, indeed, did he choose the 360 as his theme instead of is favourite game? While not subtle, this guy may be an artist, because the room has a modicum of design talent in it.

So, marketer or artist? Mix 'em together, and get a creative director. Which means the guy in charge of viral marketing. I expect Bike Hero to go past him room shortly.

His voice wasn't refined enough to be Lector- more like Buffalo Bill instead.

It rubs the lotion on its skin.

Guy can do whatever he likes, and theming one's gaming room isn't too crazy, but jay-zuz, that 'cock in hand' breathless description was quite unsettling.

Saw this ages ago, and didn't think too much of it. However I think you're onto something here. I mean, he has 4 controllers and only 2 chairs too?

Hi, my greatest achievement is spending the resources that I have to create a room dedicated to my taste in consumption.

Maybe next he'll build a room dedicated to broccoli, his favorite food.

People are weird.

I can't help but notice many of you making THE SAME logical fallacy. Just because someone is over 21 does NOT mean that they drink beer. Beer is gross.

If I'm going to drink alcohol, I'm going to make it a manly and good tasting drink like Rum. Fuck your fucking beer. Nasty shit. But overall, I don't drink. Drunk people are jackasses.

The fridge is awesome though, I wish we had one. The rest of the room is creepy. I would've went with black lights or maybe blue. But I'm not a big fan of the color green. Except for that special green yknowatimean.

With such an "xbox 360 room" you would think he would have more than 10 games. Also, 4 controllers but those chairs only look to seat 1 person each.

Hes really a nintendo fanboy :p XD but damn if he doesn't sound like Adam Sandler when he's being creepy. the creeky door is freaky too especially so in the end, cause it feels like you can be locked in that room XD and thats too much green for me. the chairs look god aweful though.

doesn't matter how many controllers or chairs he has, because something tells me this guy doesn't have any friends.

I'm thinking viral video too. The surround sound is what really tips the scale for me. You figure he might spend some time on, you know, actually setting it up right.
