Top Ten WTF! Moments of Xbox360

It's been nearly 4 years since the Xbox 360 has been released, and within that time span, it has created some memorable moments. Some were good, some were bad, some were ugly, and some were confusing. Different moments spark different emotions and responses, but sometimes you see something so mind boggling, good or bad, you can't help but to say "WHAT THE FUCK!?" These are those moments (so far).


#10. Project Na - What?

So Microsoft, we're ripping off Wii now? Project Natal is suppose to be this motion sensor contraption that uses your whole body as the remote. So theoretically, to drive a car, you would act like you're driving a car. There's been a mixed reception for this. Some people hate and some people love it, but it has both sides saying "What the fuck?"

#9. Video evidence

Halo 3 is a good game. The single player is lacking, but mutliplayer kicks ass. Shooting the shit out of everyone is fun, but when you accomplish something awesome, you gotta tell the world, and in Halo 3, you can record your awesomeness. So, in essence, number 9 goes out to you, the Halo players. The theater mode is great, but it's you who create the moments that make people say "What the fuck!?"

#8. Left 4 Dead too soon?

This is a relative new story, but it already has people screaming. Valve promised to release content for L4D, but now they're releasing the sequel one year after the first game. This has gamers pissed thinking that Valve abandoned the first game. I don't want to get into it right now because I wanna save it for another post, but this situation has everyone saying "What the fuck!?"

#7. BRICKED!

This is the red ring of death. If this shows up, that means your system bricked, and you have to get it repair. And it happens to sooooo many consoles. What the fuck!?

#6. Shut The Fuck Up!

With the exception of her in the picture, Xbox live is filled with assholes who get their nuts off by being the biggest jerks they can be. They start bitching and screaming when they lose, they disconnect before you can beat them, they berate other players who don't even say shit to them, throw racial slurs, talk to damn much, and do all of this knowing that there's nothing people can do about it except conplain to Microsoft like they're our fuckin mommy or something. Why do you think nobody decent plays with a mic anymore? What is it about xbox that attracts these people? What the fuck!?

#5. Wait...We're Winning!?

Xbox beating PlayStation? Three years ago, we were all certain that it would be the other way around, but no. Xbox 360 is whooping that ass. To be fair, PS3 had made some ground and caught up to 360 in terms of sales, but you can't shake the feeling that Sony still hasn't gotten their shit together. Still, the thought of anyone, ANYONE, beating PlayStation is enough to make you go "What the Fuck!?"

#4. ALIEN LESBIAN SEX!

Now I've made a lot of jokes about this, but seriously, there's nothing to fuss about. You know sometimes you're watching something, and you keep looking over at the door to make sure nobody walks in on you and get the wrong idea? This doesn't do that. It's so tamed. That didn't stop Fox News from running their mouths off about how its destroying our kids or something like that (you know how they are). They even brought in an 'expert' who didn't play Mass Effect to talk about how evil it is. By now, I know that Fox News is bullshit, and anybody who takes what they have to say seriously is equally bullshit, but back then it blew my mind how a barely visual scene from a game (FOR FUCKIN ADULTS!) even needed to be mentioned, let alone crucified. That segment had the whole gaming community screaming "What the fuck!?"

#3. Racist Evil 5

Yea, that joke was corny, but you get my point. When I heard the cries about Resident Evil 5, I immediately started thinking about the Mass Effect bullshit. Some people who didn't play the game starts running their mouths about how wrong and evil the developers are, and they end up looking like idiots. I was a little annoying to see black tribal people in loincloths, but I can't really say anything knowing that those kind of people really exist. If it's a fact, then it's not racist. Is it wrong for Capcom to go to Africa and shoot black people? No, and do you know why? Because no one gives a shit when it happens to another race. Black people, we got screwed badly, and we are still being screwed badly, but we can't cry racism for every little thing. We lose respect that way. I understand the people were trying to help, but all they did was make the world say "What the Fuck!?" For the record, for those who don't know, yes, I'm black.

#2. Wow...just WOW!!!

How is that lady, her stroller, and the gun he's holding connected? Man, if you never played Bioshock (or at least the demo), I'm about to tell you something special. I'm walking around trying to find my way around after I've just beaten to death a couple of guys with my wrench, then all of a sudden, I hear a faint voice. I walk towards that voice (because it's always a good fuckin idea to do that in creepy areas) hoping to find out what it is. Maybe it was a helping hand. Getting a little closer now, I can tell it's a woman's voice, and she's talking to someone. Whoever she's talking to isn't talking back. After a while, I can tell she's talking to a baby, so I get a little closer. Turning the corner, I saw exactly what you see in the picture above. Thinking she was no threat, I just walked on by, but the bitch attacked me. After killing her, it was clear she was off her rocker like everybody else in the game, so I walked up to the stroller to see what she was up to. I was afraid it was a dead baby (maybe badly mutilated) or at least a teddy bear that belongs to her dead baby or something of that nature. When I looked in the basket, complete shock filled my body for the first time EVER playing a game, and I will never forget the words I screamed out. "WHAT THE FUCK!? THIS ISN'T A BABY! IT'S A GOD DAMN HANDGUN!" The bitch was talking and singing lullubies to a gun. How crazy is that? Neil (who played that scene before me) was on private chat with me laughing his fuckin ass off. All I could say to him was "Dude, what the fuck!?"

#1. The Big Bang Theory

You hear a nuclear bomb is going to detonate, so you and your squad are trying to get the fuck out of dodge, but nothing is ever that simple in the Call of Duty universe. You're met with heavy resistance on the way back to the chopper, barely making it through the skin of your teeth, and the helicopter takes off. You're on your way out, but wait, another chopper is down, and the pilot is stuck. Well, the marines never leave one of their own. You go down there, pull the pilot out, and drag her ass back to your ride. You don't know when that bomb is going to go off, so you gotta move fast. Once you're on board, the chopper takes off, and you're on your way home.....until the bomb goes off. You're looking out the back to see the other choppers get devoured by the dust. Then the force from the bomb finally reaches your chopper, and now it's spinning out of control. You watch as your fellow marines fly out the back as you hold on for dear life. Suddenly, there's an impact and then....nothing. Everything goes to black. After a few seconds, your eye's begin to open. Your vision is blurry, but you can still make out your surroundings. You're inside the haul of the chopper, and laying next to you are the bodies of your comrades. You crawl on your stomach trying to drag your battered body to the opening at the end of the beaten aircraft, and when you reach the end, you fall onto the ground. Finally, you are able to get your feet under you, so you stand up. Now standing up, you take your first look around the city, and you see nothing: nothing but the ruins of a city that was just minutes ago engulfed in warfare. The sky has turned orange-brown, the wind is blowing fiercely, and the mushroom cloud hovers above it all in the distance. As you gingerly walk around the environment, you think to yourself "Where should I go? What should I do? What CAN I do?"Well, none of that matters as your body collapses due to radiation poisoning. Once again, you're on the ground, dying. As everything goes white, one last thought enters your mind: What...the...Fuck!

That scene from Call of Duty 4 was the best thing I have ever been apart of (video game wise). How did they managed to pull that off? After that, it can't be topped, not even by the creators themselves. No big explosion scene will ever be as awesome as that. The best thing is that you are in complete control the whole time. This isn't a cut scene: this is in-game. You're moving the guy around wondering what to do, and then you collapse and die. The description alone needed its own paragraph, and a long one at that. "What the Fuck" does not do this scene justice. In fact, nothing I can say can do it justice.

Agree with the list? Disagree? Well I don't care.


NOTE: See...no Sonic
