Replace GAMERTAG with your tag.

Then post it here, any way you like...

My Wii character already looks like me. Since I discovered pointy ears, I decided to go the fantasy route.

I was originally going to make it look like me but then I noticed that the face, mouth, and ears made it look like Odo from Star Trek Deep Space 9 so I went with that.

My ethernet port on the back of my 360 seems to be busted. So I will have to do without NEW XBO-XPERIENCE©®™

(The only time I hooked my 360 up online was to laugh at how massive the Burnout demo was, are they going to force this new update on a game disc at some point?)

It's close enough to what I resemble. The gloves are probably the only accessory that I would feel good wearing, but irl I don't put on any accessories.

This is off topic but i just wanna say that was my favorite episode because they burned down a Hot Topic. It wasn't the funniest episode in the shows history or anything but that one scene will always hold a special place in my heart<333

Yes. Starting pretty soon, all new games will include NXE on the disc.

yet another thing nintendo half-assed enough so that another company could copy it and make it better. Which sucks, considering how cool all their previous mii concepts were compared to the current miis.

No way are these better than Miis.  Sure, to some they might LOOK better (even though I don't think so...) but even so, the implementation of these avatars is pathetic.  Sure that could change in the future, but right now the best thing about a Mii is that you can play as them in a game like Wii Sports.  Plus one look at the Check Mii Out channel shows that there is a level of creativity that the Miis allow that I don't think you could accomplish with these avatars...

I find these to be charming in some ways, but not nearly as interesting as the Miis and Mii creations.  I have a big problem with the noses, because so far they are horrible ugly and make everyone look like they have giant Gonzo noses.

I have a giant Gonzo nose so it works out great for me!

Also is there a site with the same creator, but for those of us without 360s? (I have one, but only part-time if that makes any sense..)

I'm trying not to make a joke about you and Hot Topic in regards to emo-ness.

Anyway, these still look like the bastard child of Miis and the the hyperphotorealistic PS3 HOME things that still haven't come out in non beta form, IIRC.

I actually struggled to find eyes that worked. And no mustache/beard combo? BOO! Instant fail.
