We got in on the ground floor and still missed investing in Intel, Microsoft, Nvidia, AMD, and especially Bitcoin.
At least I got to noobtube retards from across the map. Take whatever wins you can get I guess.
hated that UI tbh
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

i am very thankful for you dropping these links!
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!

Thx, now I have the soundtrack in my head for days
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.”
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
I loved this UI. When i finally got a 360 of my own, I was stuck with v2.
This console has 512MB of RAM and effectively lived through four generations of Windows
That’s not even the OG dashboard.
Honestly, whether you prefer the NXE or the Blades, you have to admit they were both better than the Metro garbage that they forced on us all towards the end. Slow ass garbage with forced ads all over the place. I was happy to get rid of my 360 after that cancer took over
Back when it was a community.
The voice chat was harmonious.
Kids today wouldn’t live with the lobbies I survived
Holy cow, this is the most accurate thing I’ve read. I’m old. Do they still do public lobbies with voice chat now?
Just 24 people all yacking, one guy stimming, another dropping N bombs or something.
One kid saying nothing while his mom yells at him in Spanish while doing the hoovering
With a dog barking and a baby crying.
Somebody blaring loud music in the background and shit mic quality
Where are the ads? I don’t feel at home unless the device I paid for displays at least 75% ads on the screen.
Needs more upselling
Not real.
No RROD.
Isn’t this a 360? How on earth is that OG?
2006 was 20 years ago.
That isn’t that long ago.
OG doesn’t stand for Old Gangster, it stands for Original Gangster. Is the second console the Original?
You’re a bad person for reminding me how far away my childhood is
I remember Life pre-internet
How did you keep going? (Biggest /s possible)
Whats the joke?
nah, gimme the blades.
The beginning of the era of not owning our games…
I miss the media player so much
