    I just looted a chest in an abandoned settlement and found and Avatar Award. It's a nice little T-Shirt. Anyone found the others? There are 5 in total I think. If you want the location of the shirt just ask.

    Oh yeah I've heard about them. I recall another user mentioning that you unlock an avi item for shooting off someones hat.

    Yeah, I was surprised when it said I had unlocked one.  Haven't gone to see what it was that I got, but regardless, it's cool that they were included.

    Most avatar rewards are awful. I did unlock 1 but I didn't bother to check what it was. I know it is just some dumb t-shirt with a logo on it.

    If you like free shit so much I can always take a dump in a box and mail it to you.

    The fact that it is free doesn't change the fact that it is crap. You know what else is free? Playstation Home. Want to know what else is crap? You guessed it. Playstation Home. 
     
    The only point I was making is that avatar awards are usually crappy and because of this I don't even bother to check anymore. I'm not sure what point you guys are trying to make. Avatar awards could actually be a cool thing if they gave you something meaningful for accomplishing something. I thought gamers would want to see this potential realized and not take a shitty t-shirt someone squeezed out in 30 seconds. Guess I was wrong. You guys can go back to enjoying your free avatar hoodies that say 'Halo Reach Beta Tester' on them. I'm sure you'll get a nice t-shirt with the Doritos logo on it next month or so. Hooray!

    @carlthenimrod: 
    our point is is that your bitching about something thats not worth bitching about... if anything one thing you should learn in life. is that if its free. its probably poop. why spend money making anything that has a guaranteed profit return of 0. if you dont like it dont use it. so stop bitching.
     
    and no. im not part of the reach beta so dont be so pompous. i hate the halos period. and doritos are awesome...the only thing more powerful than a dorito is of course a reeses cup.

    I'm on an internet forum. I will bitch and complain all I like sir. Regardless of whether it is free or not.
     
    Also, I don't get the free angle when you have to purchase the game for the privilege to unlock them. So does that make all extra unlocks in games free? But I digress, if something is awful I will identify it as such. Free or not. I have actually got some great 'free' stuff from games before such as my Klungo saves the world gamer-pic and my 'Splosion Man theme.

    Someone is quite bitter.  I'm guessing you bought the Assassin's Creed full outfit or something and then realized you didn't like it?  Why come down on others so hard for getting excited over something.  If you don't like avatar awards or the avatar system, ignore it.  Some people like it.

    It is a free award that you get in a game. Do you pay for the game or for the awards? If you're paying for the awards you're doing it wrong. Avatar Awards are like Gamerscore, except with more value in the sense they contribute to something. Do you have to like them? No. There are free themes and Gamerpics, and I prefer those myself. There are free avatar awards, and they're available to anyone who owns the game and wants to use them. 
     
    Will I be using my logo t-shirt? Of course not. I like my PAX East 2010 hoodie better. At the same time though, you're welcome to dislike the avatar awards. But continuing to go on about them is pointless. You can't change an opinion through bitching.

    I didn't realize I was coming down 'so hard' on you guys by stating my opinion. It goes both ways. You can ignore my posts the same way you suggested I ignore avatar awards.

    I didn't purchase RDR for avatar awards, nonetheless, in order to access them you have to buy the game. I don't consider it 'free'. It's an extra. I would bitch about achievements the same way if they were awful. Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway? Crappy achievements. See? I did it. I'm not looking to change opinions here; I'm just stating mine. You guys are entitled to like and dislike what you want. I never said otherwise.

    I dislike your opinion that anyone gives a damn what you have to say about shitting in boxes.  Just stop posting and learn to enjoy things a little more, rather than bitching about getting optional goodies they give every player and some people actually enjoy.  I'm still wearing my MTG tee shirt and using the prop from the same game.
     
    Also, L4D2 avatar awards invalidate your point that avatar awards suck in general.

    I love you too. You keep reading 'em and I'll keep posting 'em. Seriously, I've been enjoying RDR very much so. I just think the awards are crap.
     
    Believe it or not, I'm glad to hear some games have good awards. I primarily play Left 4 Dead 2 on PC so I have never seen said awards. I don't think avatar awards suck in general. Just that most games tend to implement them poorly. So much so that I don't bother to check what I have unlocked anymore.

    Yeah it was really surprising... it was this settlement where a battle must have took place years ago, there are old cannons and cannon balls lying around the place, a trench, and some small huts. The chest was in a larger building near the back. It was very quiet and when the notification popped up it kinda startled me :P

    @wolf_blitzer85:  Yes!  The T Shirts are dumb (although I put it on my avatar so I'm a sucker for em) but the Sombrero is sweet.  The text on the shirt is so small you can barely read it anyway.
