Best of the Rest: Dave’s Picks of 2010
The following originally appeared on Joystiq, the site I write for. It is reprinted here in its entirety.
1 vs 100
This summer, something terrible happened: Microsoft canned 1 vs 100, its experiment in live trivia gaming. With two seasons under its belt, I became quite enamored with the free game. Honestly, my Tuesday and Friday nights will never feel the same again. Also, it's sad I'll likely never get to use the above image in a post on Joystiq again.
Racist Avatar in 1 vs 100 on Xbox Live
So me and coworker Alexander Sliwinski were playing the live show of 1 vs 100 on Tuesday night and this fine young individual above ended up being the 1. Now, I know the new deal is that the 1 is chosen based on score, so the more you play, the better your chances at being in the mob or the 1 are. Still, are there no screeners? Nobody looks at the Avatars before they go on? Come on -- a blackface Avatar is not appropriate!
Note: Sorry for the crummy pic. I had to use my Pre and I was snapping from a projector, so it's not the brightest. But you get the idea!
