Things I learned from video games (No. 1)

19 06 2008

Video game characters can get away with wearing green tights, but I can’t.

A lot of video game characters make fashion statements that cannot be mimicked in the real world. For example, Link with his green tights; Mario with his blue overalls, red shirt, red hat and mustache; the Gears of War guys with their massive boots and armour that would prevent them from ever moving, never mind running. To name a few.

And if you ever went outside looking like Master Chief, you’d get laughed at.

Unfortunately, that means I have to return the green tights I bought. Rats.

That being said, there are exceptions.





GOAL! Xbox 360 sponsors pro soccer team

30 05 2008


I don’t even like soccer, but I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these jerseys.

Major League Soccer franchise, the Seattle Sounders, announced Thursday that they inked a deal with Xbox 360, making Microsoft’s console the official jersey sponsor. The jerseys will make their debut when the team takes the field for the first time in spring 2009.

The green and blue jerseys are branded with “Xbox 360 Live” on the chest, and they look amazing.

You may know the MLS because of the Los Angeles Galaxy, the team that signed soccer icon David Beckham.
