Exploring Original Xbox Live With Insignia

[@GhostonGuitar]

Miss the 2000's era of gaming

[@EverythingPS5Pro]

Same 🥺 Xbox Original was the best ever.

[@NotAClown23]

truly the golden age of gaming

[@HiGlowie]

@@NotAClown23I feel like it was the last period of AAA games also being very unique and creative. In the 2010s, a lot of AAA games started to be formulaic.

[@realgroovy24]

Miss? It never ended. Or at least you could say, it went on a brief hiatus.

[@JewLorad]

I miss Xbox 360 gaming too

[@gwarriorfromhell]

There is just something special about playing original hardware. Just picked up an Xbox for 60 bucks and it's flawless. Ordered the stuff to softmod it and set it up for Live once again. Can't wait!

[@Ernster78]

I love seeing you race me in Forza. That was a nice surprise.

[@BigTea]

@@Ernster78 I was hoping someone I played would come across this hahaha

I did this recently just to have the chance to play PGR2 once again. Man I loved that game.

[@BigTea]

I still gotta try that one, got it on my list hahaha

[@bandai1983]

Me too, I can't get into Forza.

[@GMBoyYT]

I miss the OG because playing some old 360 games on the newer Xbox isn't the same without it because it was special.

[@Hadzz95]

Wtf are you trying to say, lmao

[@xelyx13]

Other dude is right, wtf are you trying to say?

[@GMBoyYT]

@@xelyx13 Some Old 360 Game servers that had been shut down. Examples such as Halo 3, Scott Pilgrim, ETC.

[@xelyx13]

@@GMBoyYT You're saying you miss old school Xbox Live? If so, I agree. Also, I'm pretty sure you can still do custom games online on the 360 Halo games, though I could be wrong.

[@KingSargon96]

Yeah you can only play a few xbox original games on the 360 and S/X

[@HiGlowie]

Xbox Live was an amazing era. I have some of the fondest memories playing Halo 2 on Live when it just released. Also, I’ll take the series S/current controller of the PlayStation ones anyday.

[@TheKeithvidz]

Looking up xbox vids always grows fruit and choicest no less. My xbox is sitting around and do intend to play again. Sharing.

[@wallaceshawn-zk8iw]

MechAssault 2 was a great game. It's SP & Online MP were Special

[@BigTea]

Mechassault 2 was my halo 2

[@TheStrayHALOMAN]

I just bought a heavily modded xbox for $700 with double the CPU power and double the ram with native HDMI output and support for xbox one controllers. Been playing online and it looks great man. With my new heat sinks I can also overclock the GPU to 300mhz and play Halo 2 at 720p. This thing has a 2TB SSD too with almost the whole xbox library installed on it. I can also use FTP over the internet to access the Xbox's SSD on my computer and add or delete anything.

[@BigTea]

Support for XBONE controllers??? That’s kinda insane

[@TheStrayHALOMAN]

@@BigTea Specifically my Razor Wolverine Ultimate controller. Playing a Original Xbox with a controller that has really well tuned dead zones is fantastic. I'll also be dropping $750 on a retro tink 4k soon so I can scale the Xbox to 4k with HDR and anti-aliasing.

[@lildude6906]

​@BigTea there are adapters, some even open-source

[@CheapeOne]

the og xbox is so nostalgic, great video showing how we can experience a slice of that today, subbed

[@MATTE.U.K]

I love how all this old hardware is being reawakened by the lack of good games. People are seeing that newer isn't actually better. I think its called upgrade bias.

[@drew7705]

I like going with the crt tv over hdmi just for vibes

[@BigTea]

Vibes

[@BlyatimirPootin]

​@@BigTeadoesn't the og xbox have an hdmi out? Its been a long time 😅

[@xelyx13]

Good video. I subscribed. And yes, parties and matchmaking DID start with Halo 2

[@BigTea]

Hell yea

[@BryanSalazarAyala]

I didn’t know this was a thing. This needs to be shared so more people are aware of insignia

[@xexat]

One day I finish hard modding my xbox and check this out

[@JewLorad]

I like new generation kids explore some games. We used play. 🤧🤧

[@lyinginertia]

Good video. Should consider doing the Dreamcast next

[@RejectedGalaxy]

I hope we can get this same support for Xbox 360 soon. I think it's the only console that doesn't have support. PS2, PS3, Xbox, 3DS, Wii U, all have custom online servers.

[@chance9069]

i subbed in seconds man great channel

[@That-Ai]

great video! keep up the good work!

[@user-yc6xn5ze6h]

All Hail Insignia 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@timothyharn521]

Just picked up a copy of splinter cell, just to do the rocky5 softmod. Might do a hdd/ tsop flash in the future

[@DTowns19]

Brings back the modding memories😅

[@TommycoolGun]

Ive been there with insignia since day 1 and my gamertag is tommy or tomy just waiting to play halo 2 online again eventually

[@BmwolotlE90]

Im planning to buy one soon and mod it with this, I miss this years of gaming. My family was so poor when we came to canada, we always got food and clothes from the donation center back in the 90s. Most of my friends had ps2s then, and a few on xbox and I always went over to play from not being able to afford one. I eventually was able to get an xbox that was modded but then everyone moved onto xbox 360 and ps4 and I sold the xbox lol. man I miss these times. If anyone is getting one drop your gamertags lets add each other

[@BigTea]

I feel this dude, I was always a generation or two behind haha

[@TMORAF]

my gamer tag is: TMORAF

[@micksterminator3]

Just got it up snd running 3 days ago. Been getting whupped in halo 2 lol. People that were in am-pro territory are def present 😅

[@cdnreddevil9895]

I got my xbox online and sadly no-one is playing return to castle wolfenstein tides of war,beach invasion was my favorite online game.

[@faceduro6719]

It’s nice to see fans service to bring back online gaming to old consoles but stupid Microsoft not capitalizing keeping online servers alive on all there older consoles

[@zimbyasmr]

Im going to try to get it running on my og xbox this week

[@LegoMaster_7778]

you need to join the halo classic hub they host halo 2 every tuesday and on thursdays they host BTB on halo 2 or they host halo ce on xlink kai and halo 2 alpha and beta builds

[@Uglier.]

Where’s that guy today? The OG Xbox Live Commercial dude. The one that plays madden and mech assault

[@BigTea]

Dude I tried to find him, no luck.

[@SuperAngryWalrus]

Check your clock capacitor.

[@BigTea]

@@SuperAngryWalrus it’s probably ready to explode tbh

[@cdnreddevil9895]

If it's 2003 or above they fixed clock capacitor 😊

[@sopadesopita]

i have an xbox but i live on the top floor and my sister wouldn’t be happy having a 100ft ethernet cable running across the house T_T

[@mariogamefreak1]

You should try to play Steel Battalion Line of Contact on OG Xbox live. Although I doubt you want to spend $400 on the game the and the big controller.

[@BigTea]

Big controller very cool though

[@NotAClown23]

*me looking at my series x* Why cant you play all these old games huh????? TAKE ME BACK TO 2004 MOAR TEA

[@str8fromthegulag523]

you cant access your old xbox live account with that and see your friends and stuff, right?

[@BigTea]

@@str8fromthegulag523 afaik you can’t, I believe it requires a new setup with the new servers
