If you thought your Avatar was looking a little bit too much like a filthy vagrant knave, then never fear! Microsoft is looking out for you with a new range of formal wear, allowing your twee little mascot to look spiffier than a Nazi at a cocktail party.
From ball gowns to cummerbunds (haha, cummerbunds), Microsoft has it all. The new clothing items are marked with a gold star in the Avatar Editor. As you can see, my own hideous alter ego is sporting a rather smart bowler hat to go with his new tuxedo. God I’m so gay.
In fact, I believe that Microsoft’s new dress-up game is part of an overall mission to turn all Xbox Live users gay, thus ensuring they never procreate. A very wise move, and one I support. The full list of new togs, as announced by Major Nelson, are as follows:
For the gentlemen we have
Blue Tuxedo (save that one for prom season)
Black Tuxedo
Shirt with Cummerbund
Black Trilby
Bowler HatFor the ladies we have:
Elegant Ball Gown
Little Black Dress
Formal Trouser Suit
Elegant Watch
Red 60’s Shades
Strappy High Heels
Platform Shoes
This is all well and good, but seriously, start breaking out the Halo and Gears shirts. This gentle, non-threatening BS can only last so long. We want zombie masks and Freddy Krueger gloves, NOW!
