Avatar Awards

Hello ladybugs and Gentlemoths,

I keep seeing things about 'avatar awards' and assume they are pieces of clothing you can unlock for your avatar in various 360 games. Does anyone know how you can find out which games do/will have these and how you unlock them? I want some in Beatles Rock Band so I can dress in one of teh Sgt Pepper suits, see...

I'm sure there's only one for Splosion Man, at the moment.

why doesn't someone do awards for the beex avatars (on this board I mean, not you funny xbox thingies - although you could do them as well) ?

Me three.
If you do awards, make sure not to ask anyone to write about them afterwards.

its 400ms points to get a lightsaber for your avatar on the 360

what a pisstake

can you take your accessories into 1 vs 100? I think for paying 400ms points for a flipping lightsabre you should be able to slaughter the whole room if you are the 1 and get a question wrong.

I don't think you get to take accessories in with you to 1 vs 100, no. Though I've seen far too many idiots playing in Mass Effect/Splinter Cell/Gears outfits, and even more with t-shirts with a company logo (wow, PAY US to advertise our brand - a bit like real life I suppose) that you can barely read even in the closeups between questions.

Hell, the accessories are extra pointless in the one place you can see them, the friends list. There's a guy on my friends list with one, and because I didn't just scroll past him he had time to take his accessory out - a skateboard. He did an ollie, a kickflip, and then put it away. Wow, that was definitely worth a pint/ten fags/a multipack of Wispas.

Splosion Man has the support, but you can't win it yet. They'll let us know when you can, apparently. There'll also be no support for old games - there won't be any added retroactively - only some new games will have them, dependent on the developers and stuff.

Watch as instead of getting Rossi's Yamaha or Button's Brawn to sit on from MotoGP/F1 2010, we get a t-shirt and hat with the MotoGP/FIA logo on it.

And yes, I know all about you with your COG helmet, you sad berk. I'd have thought you'd have gotten something Halo-related.

If there *were* avatar awards, I nom Dimrill's zombie face, Dudley's angry dome and everything Zardoz has ever done

TheVision · **Posted:** Tue Sep 08, 2009 22:11

I hate my avatar.

metalangel · **Posted:** Tue Sep 08, 2009 23:23

Yeah, can you remove it? What happens in 1vs100 if you don't have one?

TheVision · **Posted:** Tue Sep 08, 2009 23:25

Nope.. you can't remove it. You're forced to have it!

metalangel · **Posted:** Tue Sep 08, 2009 23:31

Gah. They're so rubbish! Has anyone seen the avatar dunk tank on the Spotlight? You throw water balloons to dunk one of your friends' avatar... while everyone else on your friends list walks onto the screen to watch (so you can pelt them instead). Except, EVERYTHING ABOUT IT is horrible animated. The walking animation is ridiculous, the 'angry' and 'laughing' are unconvincing, and their stupid soulless hateful faces just make me think of them doing the constant stupid 'cheers' in 1vs100 and all the other equally rubbish things they do there.

AAAAARRRRGH.
