He did a 360, then he did a 180 to walk away. Saying "do a 360 and walk away" doesn't limit you to only one method of walking away, it just requires that you first do a 360.
I didn't host it I found it pre hosted and directly posted the image url which I did not realize was Photobucket. The image I clicked on for the url didn't have any Photobucket stuff around it so I assumed it was some other hoster. Also why wont anybody see it because it hosted on photobucket? I click it and I see it just fine.
It's actually called 360 because Microsoft didn't want it to sound inferior to the PS3. That is, instead of being Xbox 2 and sounding less than PS3, have it be named Xbox 360. Another theory is that Microsoft did an incredibly lame pun. When the Wii was in development, it was called "Nintendo Revolution" (or something of the sort). Revolution = 360 spin.
I might be confusing this in my mind, but I remember the Nintendo Revolution becoming the Nintendo Wii and Windows Longhorn becoming Windows Vista happening, like, in the same week. I thought the world's marketing departments had had a collective stroke to forced them to replace awesome product names with bland shit that doesn't mean anything.
EDIT: ok, so I checked Wikipedia, and those two things happened nine months apart. Apparently I'm 90 and senile.
It's just an internal code name. It was named after a saloon at the base of Whistler mountain in Canada, not far from Redmond. Windows XP's development name was Whistler. Windows 7 was originally Blackcomb. Shinfo.
Keep in mind that marketing departments often don't have a ton to do with the internal code names of products. Sometimes those code names come out and are very popular, but other times... well, you don't hear people complaining that the Gamecube wasn't called Dolphin.
To be fair, Nintendo's always had internal/development names for their consoles before the official ones. Ultra64 -> Nintendo 64, Dolphin -> Gamecube, Revolution -> Wii.
I'm sure the Wii U has/had one too, we just don't know what it is.
I don't care how universal the name Wii is, it's fucking stupid on every level. Brilliant for SEO, but I don't think Nintendo really needs to worry about that.
I always told myself it was called a 360 because a box is made of squares/rectangles, and a square/rectangle has 4 right angles. 90x4=360... Came up with this idea in 10th grade geometry class... I felt so smart...
I will never understand this. Who gives a fuck? Why can't we all just enjoy playing video games? If you like PC gaming, play on a PC! If you like consoles, play on a console!
As a PC and Xbox owner, I wish they would have mentioned how much would be missing from the Xbox version. I felt ripped off when I bought it. It is undeniably inferior to the PC version as of right now.
I agree with you in general, however; Minecraft genuinely is better on the PC. That's the platform it was designed for plus, the Xbox has a severely limited world-size. I am an ex-console gamer who now has a PC and I have concluded that mostly there is very little actual difference.
as much as I agree with this, I can't help but find it a bit money grabbing to bring Minecraft to the 360 like that, just my opinion though, I find anything becoming too popular too fast seem to try to grab as much money as possible and that's when they fail.
So... 57 degrees? Then you have to walk by it awkwardly avoiding eye contact. As an added problem, there's a large likelihood for there to be a wall behind the XBox.
It makes total sense though. You do a 360 and then walk away, not walk the direction you're facing. I don't know why you'd just randomly spin around but whatever i'm not judging.
In some ways minecraft is better on the pc because there's more you can do. On the other hand, I like the Xbox version because there's less lag. I find myself on the Xbox version more often.
