• the lack of logic behind Chris's hatred of it
  • Find Chris's PS3 transactions thing that shows he's spent like, a grand on PS3 related stuff. --Champthom 00:57, 17 March 2009 (CET)
    • Somebody please save, and add/annotate these to the CWCiki. They are currently linked on the PVCC from CLYDE (with LUV). Mall Conductor Bear 07:51, 14 May 2009 (CEST)

'Spergin Side Note: Christian actually used the correct spelling case for the Wii in his ALL CAPS Trophy message. Does Sonic the Hedgehog on Xbox 360 make Chris shit himself? Hell, he probably shits himself seeing Sonic in Nintendo games. HIS HOME-MADE NINTENDO POWER DREAM COME TRUE~. Mall Conductor Bear 07:51, 14 May 2009 (CEST)

• This is probably why he puts so much credence in his dreams, notably his Love Quest. It's possible if there was never a Sonic game on Nintendo, he might be less psychotic about his love quest. --Champthom 08:33, 14 May 2009 (CEST)

I distinctly remember that he had his original Xbox visible among his clutter in one of the videos, perhaps even many of them. I can't find it. Which was it? --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 11:15, 8 November 2009 (CET)

Did he own an Xbox?

Whether or not his Saturn has been mistaken for an Xbox, he did almost certainly own one at some point. If you check out his list of eBay sales, he sold or tried to sell several Xbox games. Dkaien 22:02, 26 November 2009 (CET)

Ah, didn't see that. I'll add that to the article. --APBoy 22:04, 26 November 2009 (CET)(

Wait, check out the panorama view of Chris's room (http://cogsdev.org/w/images/8/89/Panorama.jpg) ... right next to the the TV, before his speakers, I believe that the black item ontop of what appears to be a VCR is indeed an original X-box. I can't make it out for certain because the pictures kind of grainy, but I'm 90% sure that is indeed an Xbox. Anyone have a higher resolution photo? --SargentPickles 18:24, 31 May 2010 (EST)

Virtually certain that if you move your cursor about an inch to the left from the top right corner of his big, stupid head in this picture, it'll be over an original Xbox.

If so, it would be totally his MO to hate the Xbox forever because of the minor inconvenience it caused him once when he was surprised that he had to pay like 1/35 of his free money to get on Xbox Live. I think it's likely that his hatred isn't exactly hypocritical—it's that this is how he deals with difficulties a normal person would overcome quickly and easily. —Thepicklesuitintheman 04:22, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

I can verify those are, indeed, just shots of his Sega Saturn or alarm clock. There are only two controller ports, the entire front is flat and not curved outward with an indentation that has the Xbox's eject and power buttons, and their is no line for where the front-loading drive is at. We've been tricked by bad camera quality again. --Eniggy 05:33, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

"Makes you do a 360° and walk away"

That isn't CWC failing at "basic geometry" but rather a reference to a nonsensical meme, which was later reiterated through an animated gif of Sega Genesis Michael Jackson approaching an Xbox 360, turning a full circle, and moonwalking away. If Chris got it from this, I think it's an example of one of the few times he has actually understood internet culture beyond his own creations.

He wasn't failing at basic geometry when he made the joke, but when he failed at finding half of 360 degrees, which is 180 degrees. He said 130 and 120 degrees before giving up. That was him failing at basic geometry. Also, both "jokes" were ideas he stole from an IRC chat so he fails at even the most common and fundamental of internet memes. sakanz 09:13, 24 December 2009 (CET)

PS3

If the reason why he hates the 360 is indeed cause you have to pay for online, then we should see some interesting development now that Sony made plans to add a subscription fee to PSN akin to the gold and silver accounts in a 360. I don't think this should be mentioned just yet, atleast until Sony formally announces it, but yeah, just throwing this out there. Dave

What was the video game Chris pirates in page 53 of issue 10? --Robotnik 23:11, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

• Most people think it's "Don't Be Nervous Talking 2 Girls" [1]. --T K 19 23:14, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Why Chris hates the HEX-BOX

"Chris hates [the XBox] for no real reason other than not wanting to pay for online gaming." Seriously? I mean, seriously? Is this really the only reason Chris hates it? Has Chris ever said anything about this?

He whines about it in mailbag 5. --OFSheep 02:56, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Well he is a hateful, hateful man.--Goatselover 14:16, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

I think he also hates it because it took his beloved Sega's spot on the market, but if that's true, then why doesn't he hate Nintendo for killing Sega?--Dan Dash 20:14, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

I don't think Chris was ever sad about the loss of Sega. Remember his Nintendo Power Magazine where he fantasized about Sonic leaving Sega for Nintendo? The death of the Dreamcast allowed his dream to come true. --T K 19 21:19, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Here's how Chris views the market--everyone is trying to get his attention and his attention alone. Nintendo was competing with Sega for his attention, and they stopped competing when Chris bought both. He "made up" with Sony when he bought a PS2/3. He hates Harry Potter and the Xbox because they are, in his eyes, constantly nagging him for his attention and he just isn't interested.--MoarLurk 20:28, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

A minor thing, but...

KILL THE BEAST! CUT HIS THROAT! SPILL HIS BLOOD!

Props to whoever made that reference to The Lord of the Flies. Fefnir 01:09, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Irony

I find it a bit ironic that he hates the X-Box despite the fact that the original X-box controllers were slightly modified Dreamcast controllers. Also, He's a hypocrite for not hating Nintendo, because they killed his hedgehog-god's console.--Dan Dash 20:11, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Minor Error

In Sonichu 10, when Hobo-Chan approaches Alec's computer, he notes that it is of Microsoft, so indeed Chris has referred to Microsoft directly.
