If Ya Smelllllllll La La La - The X-Box

It kinda looks like the XBox System took Sony\'s Idea for the tray...if you look on top of the
system...there is no lid, so that means that there is a tray...damn DC controller, along with a few
touches of NGC buttons...then slap the PS2\'s disc tray??

It gets worse. They also copied Segas idea with the vmu\'s, sony\'s built in rumble pack and Sony\'s button sensitivity.

Oh and the topic that tHe GaMe made about getting an x box because of this game, i think it would be better to wait and see gameplay of this game first. The gamecube will also have good Wrestling games, and it will have zelda, pd, metroid etc... So that led me toward reserving a Gamecube instead of an X-box. What other game would you get for the X-Box besides this game?

And they talk about inovation :rolleyes:

why rock why ???? damn him !!! now im going to have to stic with the 3 I\'s

Intensity
Integrety
and Intellegence



  damn rock..... damn gates the rock will now lose the royal rumble!!!!!!!!!!! he will never gain the title again!

I no longer smell what the rock is cooking.......=(

Its disgusting if you ask me. On two levels.

(1) That companies need wrestlers to endorse products.

(2) That people will get attracted to the system just because a wrestler was paid to stand near it and say a few lines.

LOL@MM\'s picture.

Just browsing the channels and a biography with Bill Gates was on. Very good with what i saw. Be looking out for the replay.

It showed when he had launched/revealed Windows 95. And he had Jay Leno reveal it with him.

So even other celebrities can sink low for $$$$$.

Well it sells and Microsoft knows that for sure...........

Wow, if this isn\'t pathetic. No, not this picture... you guys. Give me a break. This, first of all, belongs in a different forum, maybe we should have a new one, we\'ll call it "Console Bashing", where we can all go to bash consoles, not PS, mind you, we wouldn\'t want to have open minds. :rolleyes:

Even the mods getting in on bashing, wow, that really sets a great example to newbies and people who already dont think for themselves.

X-Box has stolen alot less than you people think.

Wow, this makes sense. I guess PS2 stole the tray idea from Panasonic 3D0 and CD-I. And I guess 3DO stole it from PCs everywhere! :rolleyes:

And 3DO stole the controller idea from Genesis! The fact is, is there is no way to invent anymore. GC\'s controller looks like PSX\'s, but intead of that mysterious extra joytick, there is a camera stick. Those thieves!
:rolleyes: And PSX\'s looks like SNES controller. Those thieves! You take the best whats around nowadays (DC base and setup with the memory card slots + GC camera button + PS2 controller ports (times 2) and you make X-Box controller. whoopdeedoo.

Maybe "the Rock" is there to promote Smackdown or whatever stupid wrestling game is going to X-Box at launch this year? Anyone think about that?

Move this to another forum section, this is just stupid bashing and crapifies this forum exponentially. You know what my old signatures are always true (especailly the one about the schmooz.) "in an argument, a persons last resort is always to attack the person or thing arguing agaisnt personally." I guess you people are on your last strand and are trying to dig up new ways of making fun at something newer and more powerful.

I am disappointed.

Transcript from the event today, only pasted the rock and bill part. Lots of info on Whistler and all.

And I\'m pretty excited. And then speaking of taking injury to an entirely new level, I also want to talk about our WWF title. But, I really wanted to demo this title very badly, but I didn\'t want to do it just on the fifth power system. So I arranged to bring a 100 percent power Xbox demo system. And I want to show you that now.

(Video shown.)

THE ROCK: Thank you. Thank you, Bill. Thank you, Seamus.

Now, at first glance to the untrained eye it just might appear that The Rock and Bill Gates don\'t have a heck of a lot in common. Well, The Rock is here to say that that can\'t be farther from the truth. See, the fact of the matter is The Rock and Bill Gates, we have a lot in common. Both The Rock and Bill Gates stand atop their respective industries.

(Applause.)

THE ROCK: Both The Rock and Bill Gates are best selling authors. And both The Rock and Bill Gates are known worldwide for their vast array of catch phrases. For example, The Rock has, know your role and shut your mouth, lay it the smack it down, and of course, the world renowned, if you smell what The Rock is cooking. And, Bill Gates, you have some pretty cool catch phrases, as well. What are some of your favorites?

MR. GATES: My favorite is probably writing hardcore C to create slick, tight code.

(Applause.)

THE ROCK: That\'s fascinating. That\'s fascinating. Yes, I might want to use that some time, Bill.

MR. GATES: Well, thanks, Rock. And it really is an honor to have you here. Believe it or not, I\'m a big fan of yours. For instance, I know that you\'re a five time WWF champion, not to mention one of the top entertainers in the world.

THE ROCK: Bill, I\'m very flattered, and I\'m a big fan of yours, as well. For instance, The Rock knows you\'re the chairman and chief software architect of the Microsoft Corporation, the leading worldwide provider of software for the personal computer.

MR. GATES: Thank you, Rock, I\'m very flattered myself.

THE ROCK: By creating Windows, by creating Windows in 1983 a multitasking, graphical user interface environment, that runs on MS-DOS based computers, along with Windows NT, and Windows 2000, completely self contained operating systems that feature networking, symmetric multiprocessing, multithreading, and security, Bill, you\'ve certainly revolutionized the technology we know today.

(Applause.)

MR. GATES: Wow. Rock, that is impressive. But, let\'s move on.

THE ROCK: And you also like golf.

MR. GATES: That\'s true, I do. But, today isn\'t about me, Rock. It\'s about the future of video games.

THE ROCK: Bill Gates, you never cease to amaze The Rock. You never cease to amaze The Rock. Again, today isn\'t about you, it\'s about the new Xbox, and quite frankly, I couldn\'t be more excited. The Xbox is everything The Rock is, cutting edge, powerful, exhilarating, and like The Rock, it will be the most electrifying thing coming out this year. And what The Rock is to sports entertainment, to the WWF, the Xbox will be to the video game industry, a breakthrough and certainly an original.

I mean, The Rock doesn\'t impress easily, Bill, you know that. But, I\'m pretty damn impressed with what we\'re seeing here today. And considering that this Xbox at this moment is only running on one-fifth of the system\'s power is very impressive. Bill, do you have any idea what The Rock would be like if he were only running on one-fifth of his power.

MR. GATES: Well, I think that --

THE ROCK: It doesn\'t matter what you think, Bill. I\'m sorry, Bill, it\'s a force of habit, The Rock apologizes. No, The Rock even at one fifth of his power would still blow everybody out of the water, just like the Xbox. It is truly the future of video games, and I\'m very excited to simply be a part of it. If you smell what The Rock is cooking.

MR. GATES: Thank you. Great job.

Nice guy. Well, you\'ve seen a lot. You\'ve seen the future of the set top box, the future of TV, new ways of using music, the way the PC can connect it all, support creativity, and project itself out to all these new peripherals. We\'re really talking about a new digital lifestyle, and it\'s very exciting to be working with partners to make it a reality.

Thank you.

Oh my f*ucking god. Now I have completely lost my faith in the American population. If anyone can even stand to read this big pile of mental garbage without puking at least twice, then they are either dead or unconscious.

OH MY GOD! That was so f*cking full of BS.

"Oh The Rock, you\'re so strong. I\'ll write some hardcore C code and make a move on you"

ARGH! Pardon me while my breakfast is coming up again. I know this is gonna upset a lot of people, but I got to get this of my chest: Wrestling is SO lame. I can\'t even comprehend how bad it is.

Let me quote this transscript again:

MR. GATES: Well, thanks, Rock. And it really is an honor to have you here. Believe it or not, I\'m a big fan of yours. For instance, I know that you\'re a five time WWF champion, not to mention one of the top entertainers in the world.

[/b]
How lame can it get?! This is on par with a fat, inbred, 60 year old guy watching cheap 70\'ies porn movies.

I hope that The Rock is either:

a) Heavily retarded
b) Got a LOT of money for it. And I\'m talking several millions here.

But my best guess would be A and B.

Perhaps this should have been in the rants and raves, but I just needed to get rid of the sick feeling I got from reading that transscript.

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

Wrestling is SO lame. I can\'t even comprehend how bad it is.

Not only that. It\'s ALL BS. Watching it on TV makes me laugh.. They HIT like girls. That\'s even if they make contact. It\'s a totally made up bs show pony show.

My friend went too the Aus version, When the USA guys came down here. They said they could HEAR the guys talking to each other. They guys were sayig stuff like, "get of my head, Your pushing to hard." A guy got hit by a chair or something. Split open the Blood pack the guy had on his head. But he EVEN split the guys head open. The guy was saying to the dood that hit him, "man u bastard u even cut open my head." The other guy said "ohh s#$t sorry man"

It\'s a funny story to hear. But This has nothing to really do with this topic.. So i\'ll shutup now.

I always knew Bill Gaytes was a Fag. Now just look at him. He\'s trying to show his "thing" to da Rock.

BILL:"Now just look at it Rock! What?! You said it is small?!?!"

ROCK:"Don\'t blame me, he\'s just in his fantasies"

or then Bill\'s trying to show his muscles.

BILL:"Now look Rock; I work a lot! Look at my fingertip muscles! They\'re HUGE!"

ROCK:"What am I supposed to say? Yes?"

Sure it was corny, how could it not be, but I agree with AlteredBeast about this topic when he says "I guess you people are on your last strand and are trying to dig up new ways of making fun at something newer and more powerful.".

Ah well.

I have absolutly nothing against Xbox nor Bill Gates, but that was Rock/Gates speach was just too far below my intelligence level. Argh! :evil:
