About

WARNING:The following description makes liberal use of the little ( ) symbols, so deal with it.

Sup dudes, I have an Xbox 360 (request me, I need friends... sadness...). I love old school games(Pac-Man, Galaga, Super Mario World, Streets of Rage, you get the idea.) I also harbor a love for the more modern(Resident Evil 4(die zombie bitches!!!!), HALO(YES I AM A NERD), Beyond Good and Evil(a true masterpiece), Mass Effect, Bioshock, Call of Duty 2 & 4.

I have an Xbox 360, although I suck at achievements.
I have a Gamecube, which pretty much left me in the dark of modern gaming a couple of years back, a Playstation with a large collection of RPG's, which I have come to despise, a Nintendo 64 which I never really played, damn Playstation taking up most of my playtime, and a still(somehow) fully functioning Super Nintendo & boy do I love that thing...

I attend high school in LA, shout out to my peeps!(not really)

I love indie music, makes me feel sort of crass and snotty though...Although I've recently acquired a taste for classic punk music and underground hip-hop(weird I know).

Oh, and I like stamp collecting and taking long strolls down the beach...

Today I Failed at Escaping the Inevitable

Jerkbutt47

6:28 PM on 06.29.2008

It seems today, a sunday of all possible days, my destiny has caught up with me. I tried to escape it, following the wise words of John Connor, "There is no destiny but what you make of it" or something like that...

Today my Xbox just red-ringed on me. Woe is me. Alas, it was not meant to be. Hey that rhymed.

This is my second 360. The first one was bad right out of the box so there was no problem just exchanging that one for a functioning one. It's funny; I've had it almost two years now and until now felt that at this rate I might just come out unscathed of this whole red ring ballyhoo. Guess not...

All I can do at this point is just send it in for repair and wait for it. But until then...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(fellow 360 owners, be afraid, be very afraid)

p.s. thankfully the customer support was not totally crappy, call just took me 20 min.

anybody have some 360 horror stories to share?

Mine's protected from all harm by a custom faceplate from free touch. I'm sitting pretty.

I haven't had the three-ring, but I am awaiting a coffin to fix my E74 error.

It's "No fate but what we make" I think. Sorry about your RRoD!

B-Radicate

Sucks, dude. Join the club, I guess.

I had the RRoD as well as a dvd drive that crapped out on me. Luckily I purchased the Best Buy warranty for both systems and I'm now the proud owner of a much quieter and cool running system. My fingers are crossed.
