Ahhhhh, remember the good old says when you could have your favourite kill 'em all playlist playing AND play a game at the same time? Back when the xbox was primarily a gaming machine with a media player attached. I was so disappointed when the xbone came out and it had become a media/entertainment machine that you could possibly play games on, and that was the last xbox purchase I ever made.
I went Super Nintendo, PS1, PS2, Xbox 360, 4790k + SLI 970s and now 9800x3D + 9070XT. I’ve been blessed.
The Xbox One’s whole “WE’RE A MEDIA CENTER NOW” soured me totally on Microsoft. I decided bite the bullet and save my money to get a better media center/gaming machine.
The people that said PCs are more cost effective were 100% right, I’ve said thousands and thousands of dollars by pirating shit lmao
When you dont know you weren’t the OG
I’m not exaggerating when I say it was all downhill after this
Sir…
Go all the way back, back to the beginning of games at Microsoft. Only true OGs remember, uh, reversi? Uh this shit is kinda lame man.
I played GORILLA.BAS and NIBBLES.BAS

Memories: Roommate and me in the dorm room making this a drinking game
Holy fuck we’re both old. Shit.
I had forgotten all about this. Just turned 48
… I played Hunt the Wumpus.
Not when it was new, mind you, but well before we had a computer with a 20mb hard drive
… File this under “thoughts Lemmy inspires in my mind every time I open it.”
Ah fucking hell I forgot about that game. I preferred scorched earth.
So many rainbow explosions…
Death’s head. MIRV
This makes me feel way too old.
You can always telnet to telehack.com for more old ammo
God damn memories! I remember my aunt’s boyfriend had a monochrome laptop that we used to play this on!

This was the best, most futuristic UI ever put on an electronic device and I will hear no arguments.
I have an Xbox with this dash.
It belonged to my girlfriend and was never updated. It’s an interesting time capsule.
OP’s was literally called “NXE,” for “New Xbox Experience.”

I loved this UI. When i finally got a 360 of my own, I was stuck with v2.
