CWC-ism for the Microsoft Xbox that he hates for no real reason except that he doesn't like paying for online gaming. Which is a ridiculous reason anyway since he has been proven to have accrued a debt in the area of thousands solely on video game related expenses.
He also stated that if his video game Christian Weston Chandler's Adult Chronicles ever gets made, he wants it to become a multi-console title, but NEVER ON XBOX.
The Hatred
In an IRC chat from 02 January 2009, Chris expands upon his Hex Bawx hatred:
12:18 <vivitheg> Why, the Xbox 360 has a lot of games that are on the PS3 too
12:18 <ChrisChanSonichu> because the Live is costly.
12:18 <vivitheg> It's only 50 dollars a year
12:19 <vivitheg> that's very cheap compared to the ps3
12:19 <ChrisChanSonichu> and I'm already a subscriber between PS3 and Wii, which are FREE.
12:19 <ChrisChanSonichu> PSN is Free; Nintendo Wi-Fi is Free.
12:19 <ChrisChanSonichu> Skadoosh.
In the Comics
The HEX-BOX 360 is featured during the elevator gag portion of Sonichu issue 8. Sonichu and Rosechu are greeted by a depiction of an axe cutting through this despised console while traveling past the 70th floor of the 4-cent_garbage building. The 71st floor displays a Playstation Trophy award for killing that HEX-BOX.
Christian draws a red LED around the HEX-BOX's power button. He was either aware of the red lights on the Xbox 360, or is simply using this color to represent a force of evil. Chris may have been aware of the publicized Red Ring of Death during earlier shipments of the console (Due to a cost-cutting plan involving less thermal paste during manufacturing, and resulted in millions of dollars to cover for RMA). Normally, all four quadrants being illuminated on an Xbox 360 would indicate a disconnected, or damaged, AV cable.
The Microsoft Corporation is not addressed in the comics either directly, or via pseudonym.
