Thanks!  Be sure to check out the official website for announcer and music content packs.  Also in a few weeks, we're planning to vote on the next releases feature set.

YAY my favorite "party game" gets an update coolnees

[Cthulhu32]

Man, I've been following this game since one of the first releases.  It's totally expanded from being a little mini-game for fun, to a full fledge outright drunk late night multiplayer game!  Great job, keep up the great work on this thing.

[arval]

excellent game indeed

[hljuvi131]

One of the best drinking games of all time!  Job Well done!

[Thraka]

Xbox needs more games like this, i just downloaded it.

Where are all the homebrew games? Have a fully programmable homebrew console sitting in our living rooms and it seems all I find is SNES NES QUAKE DOOM for your XBOX.

Is that all there is for XBOX homebrew? This gives new hope.  Where are the others?

[joelipoika]

There are ports/homebrew games like Surreal, PCSXbox (was that it's name?(IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)), dosxbox and a lot more! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

OMG! 1.6! Ohhh I just want to lick you all over! lol

On a serious note though this is by FAR the BEST drinking game on the Xbox. The more drinks you have the better it gets (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) In a new release there should be a way to ADD your own skins so I could add the FF3/6 skins, metroid etc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Anyway wicked job fellas!

Are you talking about characters?  If so, I'm pretty sure you can add your own skins.  There was a thread over at their forum when this version was first  released where people where making that own skins and sharing them with others.

[Helios]

Haha wicked. I will start making a TON of skins for this. Maybe I should post them on the website or something?

[nickus]

I remember I had a skin pack at one stage that I made for 1.1. I still have it somewhere, but inside it were the following characters:

• Updated Mario
• Ice Climbers
• Ryu (from Ninja Gaiden)
• Samus (Metoid)
• Sonic
• Tails
• Knuckles
• The Gay Chameleon from Sonic Heroes (can't remember his name)
• Wario
• Alex Kidd
• Master Chief
• Link
• Bowser
• Peach
• And Westy, one of my cartoon characters

The animations weren't flash (because it only uses two frames), and several characters had to be scaled down due to size restrictions but they were all perfect skins. If anyone would like me to post it I will.

I can also give u a bit of a tutorial about adding your own manually ( I haven't looked at the newest version yet but i can guarantee there is a way.

Thanks
