HEXBox
1. Liked Xboxes
2. Had any sort of artistic talent.
Hex Bawx is a CWC-ism for the Xbox 360, which Chris hates for no real reason other than not wanting to pay for online gaming. This reason is ridiculous, if only because Chris has already accrued thousands of dollars of debt through his many other video game-related purchases.
Chris has 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.
Considering he owns an original Xbox, this is extremely hypocritical of him.
The Hatred

This article is still yet to be completed due to stress. We get a lot of stressful torture in our lives that makes us crash into slumber. Given that inspiration is a big variable, and we may have been lacking of it, this article will be completed as soon as possible, at our own pace... HONEST!

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.
In Sonichu 10 preview, Jason Kendrick Howell is shown surveying his evil realm using an Xbox 360 and the controller.
Chris also has no idea what a real Xbox 360 is supposed to look like. Most notably, he thinks the console is tinier than a Wii (as everyone who has ever owned an Xbox 360 knows, you need a forklift to move this bugger around) and he also places the power button on the top end of the console rather than the bottom end.
