About
Aaron "Mxy" Yost is an admin for the Dtoid Forums, and hosts/produces the Communitoid podcast with some of the other Dtoid community managers. He also has a dark secret that must never be revealed, lest the world be split asunder.

Pronunciation: "Miks-yez-pit-lik" Most people just pronounce it "Mixie" for short.

I'm a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest.

I am a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

I'm not sorry for the things I've said. There's a wild man in my head.

I am two with nature.

I'm a bird who doesn't sing because I have an answer, I sing because I have a song.

I mostly come at night... Mostly.

I'm an alligator, I'm a mama-papa coming for you.

I'm the space invader, I'll be a rock 'n' rollin' bitch for
you.

I'm like, you know... this guy.

So this morning I got my first red ring of death. I'm posting this video to share the depth of my sorrow as only Simple Plan is able to express. Fuck you if you make fun of me because in my freshman year my boyfriend got killed by a rogue katamari and you like just don't understand my torment.

Got my repair ticket submitted, and the coffin is on the way. Hopefully I'll be back killing zombies with you guys before the end of the year. Until then, I've got plenty of Wii games I've been meaning to finish.

Also, thanks again to everyone who voted in the "Win Mxyzptlk a PS3 and Some Football Stuff" contest. Once we get the package we'll hopefully do an unboxing video. Or maybe I'll just kill again for your entertainment.

I'm slitting my wrists in sympathy.
Sorry to hear about that. You'll be back before you know it though.
;_; That happened to me too.
:( My sympathies. Microsoft is pretty quick about sending consoles back though.
I'm drinking a Diet Dr. Pepper in your honor, and I don't even know why I even have Diet Dr. Pepper. Well whatever.

I'm sorry, I love you.
I feel your pain, it's happened a few times to me. Didn't you just get your 360 this year?

Guess they still haven't solved their design issues.....
Wow, I missed that contest. That was fucking hilarious. Such abrupt and bloody violence, interrupted by intermittent blood-curdling screams of "Football!", I can't stop watching.

My blood pressure just rose ten points, thank you Mxyzptlk.
@ EternalDeathSlayer: Yup, but it was my brother's old one. Manufacturing date was June 2006. So it lasted a good two years before shitting the bed.
"It lasted a good two years before shitting the bed"

That statement makes me so sad. Whatever happened to good consoles that also last a long time. My SNES is still kicking.
I'm sorry for your loss. :(
Yeah, why does two years sound like a good life span for a 360 now? It's incredibly sad, and yes, the SNES is probably the most durable console I know of. Console manufacturing ain't what it used to be.


That pic was so awesome, I just had to post it again. ;)
Too awesome that it needs to be reposted for a third time.

Shitty man. Hopefully by now they are sending back refurbs that aren't total pieces of shit. My friend's refurb has lasted about 6 months with no problem.

Also, (and this applies to everyone) plug your 360 directly into the wall and not into a power bar/surge protector. I have an extremely limited knowledge of how electronics work, but it has something to do with the xbox needing access to as much power as it can get, and not getting enough power from the surge protector which increases the chances of RRoD.
We should form a club. Everyone who's had a failed 360. Sign ups!
You could hold group counselling sessions!
Ok, I feel sorry for you and all, but that doesn't give you the right to post shitty music videos.

THERE IS NEVER A GOOD TIME FOR SIMPLE PLAN.
@ Grayfox: Yup, I'd heard that same thing, and already had my 360 plugged directly into the wall. Despite this precaution I still have become a victim.
Hey! Mine RRoD'd yesterday! Awesome :D

Brother got a replacement Arcade for the time being so it's not all bad
Do yourself a favor and join the PS3 club.
that won't help, PS3s die too, but "flashing red light of broken" just doesn't catch on as well as red ring of death. And Sony customer service....uggg.
Sorry about the loss man. How do you go about getting all your saves off the thing, or are you just screwed?
PS3'd don't die nearly as often as 360's. Just sayin.
@ RonBurgandy2010: Yeah because you know, it's so much cooler when your system fails and you have to pay 150 dollars for it.

::weeps::
poor baby
But you have to admit that PS3 failure is more isolated than 360 failure.

I'm going to stop now because I'm beginning to sound like an elitist fanboy prick.
Apparently some people didn't read the last paragraph of this cblog. :)

@ gravitys plaything: I took off the hard drive. It says specifically on the support site not to send it back with the system. So all I have to do when I get it back is just pop the thing back on. Boo yah!
I'm sorry to hear that man. I can say the last time my 360 RROD they had it back in my hands fixed in no time.
@Y0j1mb0
You play your 360?


@Mxyzptlk
To be honest, I barely read any of it. Sorry.
Each system has its faults, stop the fanboyism. Unless it's against the Wii. Then go all out.
Scrixx wins.
my condolences for your lose
Sorry to hear.

Don't shoot anyone. PLEASE!!!!
Sad to hear that. Glad you won that contest! It was an amazing video!
I'm sorry to hear that, Mxy.

Also, stop posting that picture of me, guys!
GO EMO
You don't know how fucking depressed I am that I heard this news.
Sorry for your loss.
@vexed alex
That would take too long, we should just make a club for people whose 360 hasn't failed. Sorry to say I can't join that one.
Awww, Mixy, that is terrible! I feel so sad now, my Xbox RRoD about a month ago, but got it back in a jiffy! Just look forward to getting that Mario Sweater! It will cheer you up!
Bad luck :(
shit, so I guess this means I wont be seeing you on L4D tonight eh? :(
I have a launch 360 that hasn't RRoD yet. I'm pretty sure it'll do it the first day after warranty though ;_;
Ah crap, that is terrible. Mine just did that last month. Luckily, I got it back in 12 days! I was surprised and got my same box back, refurbished and quieter than ever. I think they replaced the DVD drive along with fixing the main RROD issue.

I hope you are fortunate enough to have the same speed/upgrades as well!
Sorry about the 360.

But you probably did something crazy to deserve it, like turning it on.
Booo RROD 360 :(

Yay you won the PS3! I missed the winner announce :)
My condolences for your loss. Just curious, but wasn't your 360 relatively new? I thought the newer ones were significantly less susceptible to the RRoD. Now I have even more to worry about mine...
I'm so sorry for you, but posting that Simple Plan video made me lose my sympathy.
@ Dexter: I bought it off my brother; it was made in June 2006. THIS WAS ADDRESSED ABOVE SIR WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE WASTING MY TIME I AM IN MOURNING ALSO SIMPLE PLAN IS THE BEST BAND EVER THEY WRITE SONGS THAT COME FROM THE SOUL OF THEIR HEARTS TO ALL YOU HATERS WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE LIKE THEY HAVE!?!
RROD club? Dude, I could have told you not to join that club. It's like joining Columbia House, but worse.
Damn, man, that sucks. But hey...at least you'll soon have a shiny new PS3 to take its place!
