I know you're tempted, but whatever you do, please don't fall for Microsoft's blatant attempt to bilk money from you for the horrible horrible branded avatar decorations that just arrived with the latest Xbox Live update. If we buy this junk, they'll just keep trying to sell it, and who knows where it will end? It's an outrage that they think people are so shallow they'll pay up to five dollars for decorations like T-shirts, hats, outfits, and doo-dads that are simply cosmetic decorations. Five dollars? I'm pretty sure that's not even a microtransaction anymore. It's an outrage that they ask us to pay money so that we'll advertise their games. It's an outrage that they're trying to get by with this sort of naked money grab. It's an outrage that they think we're this stupid!

And you know what else is an outrage?

That the three-dollar Big Daddy doll I bought for my avatar doesn't show up in his picture (pictured). I'd have been really outraged if I got the five-dollar lightsaber, which I was about to do until I saw the Big Daddy doll. So precious. By the way, can you read my new T-shirt? Bioshock 2. Pretty cool, huh? It was only a dollar, so I figured, what the heck, why not?
