Here's one: Puff 'P Diddy' Combs is now a celebrity spokesmen for Xbox. Read this statement, and you'll swear they're talking about the savior:

Quote
P.Diddy was the perfect fit as our first celebrity voice because he embodies the same spirit as xbox". said xbox's director of brand marketing. Don Hall. 'He's multi faceted, has made a significant social impact, and pulls millions of people together in a positive way with his powerhouse talents"

LoL. Now Nintendo should go out and get the real talent, The Beastie Boys. They've said they liked Nintendo before, go get them.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #1 on:** October 21, 2003, 12:33:53 PM »

Uh oh, I'm going to have to go get an Xbox now that P. Diddy is sponsoring it.

Actually, he should sponsor Gamecube, and they could dress him up in a Diddy Kony outfit

The Omen · « **Reply #2 on:** October 21, 2003, 01:30:56 PM »

This actually causes me to dislike Xbox. I was kind of indifferent before, taking only occasional shots , but now, blec!

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #3 on:** October 21, 2003, 01:44:59 PM »

I think it is a sign of weakness to have to resort to celebrity prowess...

manunited4eva22 · « **Reply #4 on:** October 21, 2003, 03:44:31 PM »

In that case, nintendo is pretty desperate with those celebrity bashes.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #5 on:** October 21, 2003, 03:46:26 PM »

I didn't say that it was a sign of desperation...just that it's kind of sad to see companies(like Pepsi) resorting to star power to sell their products...(which Ninty hasn't done, at least from what I've seen...

THANK GOD. I thought The Omen had gone all lame on us from the thread title, and I was dreading coming in here and bashing him.

You make me proud Omen.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #7 on:** October 21, 2003, 03:59:55 PM »

WOW! If they've got some no talent mainstream loser like P. Diddy, then it must be good! Dag, yo! QUICK, WHERE'S MY MONEY HAT? FAMOUS PEOPLE TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD SPEND MY MONEY ON!

P. Diddy who?

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #10 on:** October 21, 2003, 06:35:58 PM »

I thought The Rock was Xbox's celebrity spokesman.
Oh well. Times change.
Nintendo should use Christina Arguilera's hot ass bod to market GC2. Sex sells, so why not succumb to the power!

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #11 on:** October 21, 2003, 06:42:12 PM »

Who was promoting the hell out of Dreamcast back in its hayday? Fred Durst, was it?

The Omen · « **Reply #13 on:** October 21, 2003, 08:10:19 PM »

And who would've thought at that time that Durst would outlast Sega? Frightening times indeed...

Nintendo should use Hilary Duff.

Or Will Smith!

no way, go with the beastie boys, i like their music AND they are in futurama, double win right there!

KDR_11k · « **Reply #16 on:** October 21, 2003, 10:29:04 PM »

I agree, P.Diddy is exactly like the XBox:
No quality, no content, a clone of others but strangely popular.

Mario · « **Reply #17 on:** October 21, 2003, 10:53:14 PM »

50 cent is more like xbox than P Diddy.

Oldskool · « **Reply #18 on:** October 22, 2003, 03:15:22 AM »

I didn't know that Puff Daddy was P. Diddy until about 3 months ago. I suppose I'm not like everyone else in my generation!

Actually, 50 cent is like Xbox fanboys, and Puff, like KDR said, is the system.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #20 on:** October 22, 2003, 06:59:01 AM »

Okay, now that we know that the PS2 is in reality a PC and the XBox shares a lot with a rap star, doesn't that make us feel a lot better about having chosen the GC?

The Omen · « **Reply #21 on:** October 22, 2003, 07:04:36 AM »

I certainly feel pure.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #22 on:** October 22, 2003, 12:24:27 PM »

Nintendo should get some random bum off the street to be their "celebrity" image. . . it'd give a hobo money, and it'd be hilarious.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #23 on:** October 22, 2003, 12:26:59 PM »

yeee-haaaw! Great idea HC, maybe they'll pick ME!

strat · « **Reply #24 on:** October 22, 2003, 12:34:01 PM »

Nintendo's most likely to get someone like Frankie Munez

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #25 on:** October 22, 2003, 12:36:44 PM »

Stop! Everyone just stop! I don't feel too well...Let's just let Mario do Ninty's advertising

Speaking of hobos:

My friend's animation

He's got other stuff if you go to murk280.deviantart.com. Funny dude. . . also a Gamecube owner.

robofish · « **Reply #27 on:** October 23, 2003, 02:27:40 AM »

I have a GC and just recently (that is, next week) I purchased an Xbox. I have no allegiance(sp?), I have fun.

The Omen · « **Reply #28 on:** October 23, 2003, 06:35:39 AM »

Allegiance does not mean you cant play other systems, theres just something in your heart that loves Nintendo more than any other

KDR_11k · « **Reply #29 on:** October 23, 2003, 09:46:00 AM »

Just because I hate Microsoft doesn't mean I don't use Windows. Unfortunately Windows is required to work with almost all the programs I have. I guss it's the same thing with allegiance and Boxes.

robofish · « **Reply #30 on:** October 23, 2003, 04:39:53 PM »

There is indeed something in my heart that is only moved by the likes of Legend of Zelda and SSBM, but there is something else waiting to be moved by DOA3 and Halo!

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #31 on:** October 23, 2003, 04:41:02 PM »

Like my bowel!

robofish · « **Reply #32 on:** October 24, 2003, 04:17:17 AM »

But of course, bowel movements do feel quite good and relieving. In fact, they are necessary. Like Xbox? Is that what you were implying, KnowsNothing??

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #33 on:** October 24, 2003, 04:21:35 AM »

I'm still waiting for my Banjo title...

I have Halo and DOA3, but DOA3 isn't nearly as good as Soul Calibur II, and Halo just plain got lame about half-way through...And everything else is either crap or sports games...Thankfully I didn't have to pay for my Xbox, because it just wouldn't have been worth it for a platform/RPG lover like me...

robofish · « **Reply #34 on:** October 24, 2003, 04:27:43 AM »

I see. I am still excited about it. I will probably order MGS2: Substance (I don't have a PS2 or comp that can handle it.) and Jet Set Radio Future... I hear that's good. And MGS 2 for ps2 is awesome. Forget the story, it's just a bunch of Japanese nonsense, but the gameplay really is awesome. And... yeah. Remember, the only really worthwhile GC titles are first party, and we're not seeing too many of those really. I am expanding my horizons.

well anyway, the other day i was playing Viewtiful Joe then i thought hmmm this game IS good, but i feel like something different.. perhaps Ikaruga? then i went nah, i need something a little less hectic, so i went with Skies of Arcadia then after that i went out and pre-ordered Billy Hatcher after that some friends of mine from here were telling me all about the upcoming Resident Evil 4 and i said nah, considering i didn't play REmake or Resident Evil 0 i decided not to get it.

"Nintendo should get some random bum off the street to be their "celebrity" image. . . it'd give a hobo money, and it'd be hilarious."

Post of the year. They should talk to the people who make the Bum fights videos for a few leads.

"I have a GC and just recently (that is, next week) I purchased an Xbox. I have no allegiance(sp?), I have fun. "

here, here

" Allegiance does not mean you cant play other systems, theres just something in your heart that loves Nintendo more than any other "

I try not to love electronic components. I think they all have good and bad points.

robofish · « **Reply #37 on:** October 24, 2003, 04:50:27 AM »

PIAC: Ok, ok, first party, and Sega, sometimes. Billy Hatcher... no. Viewtiful Joe... yes. Skies rocked dude! Who was that made by? Never played Ikaruga. Didn't dig RE games. Just my opinion.

Fine..... I have been outsmarted once again…..

What I MEANT to say was: “The only thing waiting to be moved is……the xbox to somewhere where it can’t stink up my shelve. Like my garage. But wait, it’s too heavy to move and I don’t think it can even fit in my garage."

I'll shut up now......

PIAC · « **Reply #44 on:** October 24, 2003, 02:07:25 PM »

i'm not offended, it's just an untrue statement, across the entire library there are alot of non first part gamecube games that are very worth while, ignorance isn't bliss in video games. i was just pointing out some great non first party games

, and yes i forgot ToS, it's not out here, so i don't even consider it.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #45 on:** October 24, 2003, 03:23:38 PM »

Well neither is RE4...That's no reason not to include it in your list

Eh? How is it so "fanboyish"? I'm not saying that I only buy first party titles... oh forget it. This is getting out of control.

Let it be known to all... I am not infallable! I have said something before I thought too hard about it. Forget it and move on.

In terms of past generations of games, I can actually say that I have more third party games than first party and second party games combined.

I counted only six games out of the sixteen GC games that I have that were made by a Nintendo or Nintendo-owned developer.

I'm shocked. I feel so weak as a fanboy that it's not funny.
