Yeah, that's pretty much what happened

As you can tell from the mushroom cloud photo or my post's title (you veritable Sherlock Holmes you !), my PS3 has officially kicked the bucket...and I'm also going to properly introduce myself to you guys. The scenario went like this: I caught a cold and pretty much couldn't go to class today. I decided to revel in my extra day of freedom by playing the second operation in Chapter 10 of Valkyria Chronicles. After completing half of the mission, I got hit with the drowsiness, so I decide to go lie down. Unfortunately, my little lie down turned into a full on nap. I wake up two hours later and decide to finish the Op I started. I grab my Daulshock 3 and initiate the usual routine of sitting down, getting comfortable, and getting ready to play.Then, I realize that it won't turn on and my brother told me that the PS3 died (peacefully in his sleep). Luckily, I managed to get Valkyria Chronicles out of it.This is the second time that this has happened. Same thing happened this time last year and I had to wait 2-3 weeks to get it fixed. Oddly enough, My 360 hasn't gotten the Red Ring of Death yet, I honestly don't know if this is irony or just plain bad luck. Sorry to bore you, lets get the intro underway.




It's weird when I put it into practice. I've been a member of the Destructoid community for five months now, and I haven't even properly introduced myself. So i figured I might as well tell you guys and gals the basics of me, FalconReaper (some of this was covered in my "10 Things" post). My name is Mohamoud ( I prefer to be called Mo because so many people mispronounce my name, its not funny), I live in Canada, and it has it perks, namely some games being bundled in with the most random shit ( I once got a copy of beyond Good and Evil with a pack of Cheese string), I'm also 17 years old. In terms of gaming platforms, I have a now busted PS3, an inexplicably Red Ring proof Xbox 360(which I got for free, and the one time where regional lockout wasn't a pain in the ass), A PS2 that I still use every now and then, and a red Nintendo DS Lite with the Mario M on it. As also said in my "10 Things" post, I'm Muslim ( I don't know what it has to do with gaming, but I just had to say it). Until the end of last year I was pretty much a misanthrope who had a strong dislike of of most of the human race ( i still kind of am), now I'll only hate you until I get to know you. For most for my life my preferred genres of gaming were action games, platformers, and RPGs (or any game with a good story and game play), but now I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and am at least trying to be open minded of different types of games.Also I have a special moniker for my posts, the line "Thank you for allowing me to waste your time". I've come to think of it as my trademark, like Zorro cutting a Z into everything he sees or Spider Man's clever notes found after he busts the bad guys, Its just what I do. Sorry if that got a little long winded, I just wanted the community to know more about me and a last bit of info: I never played Marvel vs Capcom 2, I know, I fail, and I'm probably the only person on Dtiod who hasn't. I'm also doing a new feature on my blog called "Boss Files", I upload every Saturday, so check back then.

P.S Thank You for allowing my to waste you time!
