Transcript
Why did the Xbox bowl have better world building than most streetwear brands? Master Chief pulled up in full armor to do the coin toss, and obviously he rode in on a Warthog. We don't do boring trophies here, so the main one had a literal Xbox controller on it, and the MVP awards were designed like Xbox achievements. They took rank otherwise unwatched best and turned it into a social media machine. This is what worldbuilding is all about, taking overlooked elements of the consumer experience and finding ways to Xbox ify them.
