missingno's Xbox360 Fund!

[Despain]

XBOX360
it's fundrasier time!!

With not only Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts right around the corner, but also the announcement of Enterbrain's newest game-making engine, Action Game Maker (specifically its ability to port games to Xbox Live), I'm more desperate than ever to get my hands on an Xbox360! Being a poor struggling college student, I need your help! Even though this topic is in NFG, I'm entirely serious!

Send Paypal Donations to: 360@rhinocap.net

Progress: [||||||||||] ($250 -- 200%)

Members who donate will go onto my "good" list, putting you on good terms with me. Which means that I'll keep you in mind when looking for a game to review or if I see that you have a particular resource request that needs to be filled. Plus, you'll be contributing to the community (I seriously intend to get an XNA Creators Club account and play with the Xbox Live capabilities of the new program and review them and stuff).

But that's not all! You guys are only expected to come up with half of the price for the Xbox! Instead of trying to raise a full $250, all I'm shooting for is $125! That's right -- I'll pay for the second half out of my own pocket! Only $5 from 25 active members! Come on, crew! We can do it! (I am so terribly and awesomely corrupt.)

I thought the 360 dropped in price? That should be even more an incentive to get one.

I would, but I'm broke and in college myself. Hard times...

 

[Despain]

Oh shit, even better! That's a hundred bucks cheaper! I'll edit my first post accordingly.

Eh, if I were you, I'd go for the extra $40 just to get the 60GB harddrive.  You won't regret it later.

*pokes her 20GB one* >_>;;

That depends on the donations.

Oh, sorry but I just bought an XBox 360 Elite Console, so I'm a bit short on cash.

Maybe next time?
(sorry for being a smart ass)

What is this?! I never saw a forum such as this. Its only advantage is that it's the best forum to publicise games, but asking for donations to buy an Xbox, what is this? Your "good" list my ass! And it's publicised in the first page! Just when I thought this couldn't get any worse...

Allow me to clarify!

An XBOX360 is required to fully make use of Action Game Maker's big new feature: the ability to export games to Xbox Live (and, one would think, share them that way). In order to explore and review this feature for the good of the RMXP.org community, I need an XBOX360!

 

[Alexander Morou]

Basically the way I understand it, he's asking for assistance in buying an Xbox 360 so he can readily review games made in the new maker, on his XBox 360.  As I'm sure there will be some games that are only made available on the 360.  That... or he just wants one.

In other words, buy him an xbox360, and if you're still his friend by the point you make a game with that li'l Action Game Maker and he has the time, he just might - just might, review your game if you upload it, while his main concern is simply to own the gaming console.  Though with said gaming console, and game uploaded and downloaded he'll rip it open point out everything wrong and make your game better, which inadvertently helps the community.

By giving advice to makers to make better games, for us the community to play, learn from, and be inspired from.  See.  It may be second hand, but nevertheless it's help.  So shh, and DONATE.

I remember seeing a post like this before and i've always wondered why you don't just commission yourself out? With you celebrity status on the forum, i'm sure you'd be able to get more then a fair price for your work. and i'm sure you'd get alot more people willing to help as they'd feel like they'd be getting "something" for there money.

Aside from that, I'd possibly help if i had the money to burn and i wasn't trying to get one myself. XD

I want it for Banjo-Kazooie 3. The rest is just a nice excuse to get members here to pay for half of it. :D

Although I wasn't just talking about reviewing peoples' games, but rather also the feature itself (including tutorials on how to use it, if necessary), since it would be a major drawing point to the AGM program. Details are still vague.

I am doing a little of that. The money that I get from such things has to go to school, though. Also towards my half of the 360. :D
