Around the Office: A Requiem for Blades

ahh i love these videos

huzzah!

also welcome back brad

I kind of miss the blades

I liked the blades, they were nice.

I miss the blades...

I kind of miss the blades. Is that sad?

"YO IT'S LIKE A PARTY SEPT WITH VIDEO GAMES!!!!" lulz

Blades were weak. Good riddance.

Whoooo!!!

haha

And that was the last virgin, un-updated 360 in existence.

I hope you're happy, Ryan.

Interesting! I was actually thinking as late as earlier today how I almost miss the old dashboard, and the time I first got to play around with it. I'm talkin' pre-marketplace stuff. Old-school!

I love how Brad got pissed. Damn, I haven't seen that old menu in a LONG time.

I didn't update to the NXE until April this year, so I always thought I was the last guy rockin' the blades. I guess I was wrong. Anywho, looks like some top-notch archival footage for the world's greatest video games database.

Come to think of it, the blades look so dated now with all that brushed steel.

I too miss the blades. The brushed metal made me feel good inside.

Poor blades.

I miss the lack of adds for shit I don't care about

Sooo, I take it you guys don't know that you can actually switch to the blades view in the NXE dashboard?

I kind of prefer the NXE but I only used the Blades for a month anyway.

MORE OFFICE VIDEOS! MORE OFFICE VIDEOS! MORE OFFICE VIDEOS!

RIP

Anybody else notice that the 360 is totally shaped like the blades were

Blade torture by Ryan Davis. Heh heh heh.

"YYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!! Flowers n' shit!"

Office vids 4 life.

Our church has 2 xboxes for our youth group not connected to live with the blades. I am completely indifferent between the blades and NXE.

brad is back already? guess he had...what...1 week vacation?

Thank god microsoft have moved on, the blades were straight up fugly..

there was something really satisfying about going from blade to blade.

I miss the blades :'(

Dude, this is a tragedy...

Seeing this makes me realize how much I like NXE better.

7/28. Never forget.

I just played my brothers xbox with the old blades, two minutes after it started it red ringed.

Well that was random. Seriously of all the stuff I would expect GiantBomb to put on their video section this is the most random ass thing I could have expected, and all I can say to it is "More Please"

takes me back....im one of the few ppl that really hated the blades

Whatever, I have no love for the clunky, janky looking blade interface. Good riddance fo sheezy.

You could you Ryan? How could you? *tear drop*

blades suck!

wow, i forgot how much the blades looked like crap 

I've missed Brad's voice..

Well yeah...i remember blades...i had to deal with them all over again for 2 minutes when i bought my third 360 2 months back, cant believe we used to live like that.

Man this video makes me miss the blades. I remember a time when I didn't have a useless Mii ripoff floating around on my console, a page of adverts didn't pop up every time I signed in and navigating menus was like exploring a beautiful rainbow. RIP Blades.

You guys are so awesome.

" Our church has 2 xboxes for our youth group not connected to live with the blades. I am completely indifferent between the blades and NXE. "

wow it looks so professional and organized, and ad free.

lol miss those days
welcome back brad

Oh the good old days of the blades....still prefer NXE though. Would like an option to switch between the two any time.
