About Me
Good day sir/madam and welcome to the world of someone who calls himself Anus Mcphanus. In the real world I go by the name of Dan.

The name Anus Mcphanus comes from back in school in 6th form. We had a TV in our common room and I used to bring in my N64 to play games during our lunch breaks. Being in a public (or private to you yanks) school meant that we couldn't shout out obscene profanities so openly and so we made up words/names we could say and not get in any trouble. Eventually these words became associated with a certain person and I became known as Anus Mcphanus which meant arsehole. I thought the name was quite hilarious and so I kept the name and use it as my online and gamer name from then onwards.

In my free time I enjoy being Welsh, taking long walks down the beach and punching small children in the face.
My life is rather dull and uninspiring.
I apparently like to drop my trousers. A lot.
I can't sing but often kid myself into thinking I can.
I do not like things up my butt. Except penis.


This is my sorry arse

The Latest Victim
Anus Mcphanus | 4:44 PM on 02.29.2008 4 comments


Victim's name: 427219364505
Time of Death: 12:05AM GMT
Cause of Death: Red Ring of Death



I am afraid to announce another casualty to the dreaded disease that is the Red Ring of Death. Yes my beloved Xbox360 had a short life of only 7 months and had experienced many great games in it's life such as Mass Effect, Bioshock, Call of Duty 4 but it seems that the awesomeness of Blue Dragon was too much for it's poor little GPU to handle. Now I know there are others out there who have had it worse than I but I would still like to express how shitty this is (7 fucking months of sporadic play of now longer than 3 or 4 hour sessions at a time? are you kidding me!) and I guess this highlights how this disease affects random 360s all over the world and there is no real protection against it.

Now there is thankfully a silver lining. Due to the fact that I still have the receipt for my now deceased 360 and that it's still within a year of purchase, by law I am aloud to return it to the store I purchased it from and receive an exchange or gift voucher of some sort. So that means no dealing with Microsoft knob heads (yay!). Also the price has dropped since I bought my 360 so I maybe entitled to the difference (it's about £30 which is nearly the price of a newly released game) and my deceased 360 is HDMI port-less and when it is re-incarnated it will be upgraded and maybe even quieter with a new disk drive.

This is the 2nd time I would have swapped console as my first 360 was a malicious bitch and kept scratching my disks to the point where I would get constant disk read errors but hopefully this time will be different. After all third times the charm right?

[UPDATE: So I went back to hmv and they gave me a brand new 360 pro just like that. I had the HDDs swapped to keep my stuff but I forgot to pack in my control pad so I didn't get a brand spanking new one replacement :( I'm surprised how dirty my old one was when I picked it up again... oh and I didn't get the £30 difference back..boooooo!...but now I have a HDMI working 360 in record time :D hope this one lasts longer]

Sorry to hear that, dude. But it’s awesome that you can just return it or get a new one. If you get cash or a gift card, put it towards a PS3!
