Trash Talk for Xbox 360 -- A Joke and Call for Response
I suppose at the time when Halo 2 for the Xbox came out I decided that if (1) I had the voice of a seventeen year old girl and (2) I had the ability to play the game very well, then I would spend my time playing online and observing the ridicule of male players as some ditz cheerleader apparent outplayed them at their favorite game. Now, with Datel's Trash Talk 360, the first half of my dream can be realized in the form of sixteen different recorded phrases available to me at the touch of a button.
That's correct, for the price of $39.99 USD one can purchase a product which allows the recording of up to sixteen voice samples (presumably all consisting of a teenaged girl saying phrases such as "Um, did I, like, just kill you?") and their subsequent broadcast live via online gaming with just a press.
Interestingly enough, as much as this scenario is a joke, it is also the only practical use I have been able to come up with for the TT360. That is, unless one were mute, in which case prerecorded trash talking would be essential for online play in the live-o-verse. Last time I checked, though, speaking took approximately the same amount of effort as pressing a button on a device called a Trash Talk 360.
In short, Trash Talk 360 is a contraption of ideas demanding jokes, debate, and questions -- of both philosophical and practical nature -- be made on its behalf. I'll leave that for the comments board, though.

In all seriousness, we really need to get that.
You can be the guy with sound effects from other games coming out of his character at all times.
What's so funny about it is that there's no way you can use that without your "rep" (the number of stars beside your name that indicates how much other players like you) going down dramatically.

I feel dirty even saying this word, but that is some pretty meta shit right there. I think the best use for that would be the simplest. Get a few ladies to record different samples and string them together as one for the nerds. "Hello *GUYS.* *I just shot your ass* *Woot WOOT* *Do you guys like* *DICK* and *vagina?*"
