I've seen it happen once to a friend of mine, less then 3 months off the shelf... I've heard of it happening 1 year and 4 months off the shelf, I've heard people report never experiencing it as of yet... so I must ask.. what the fuck causes the Red Ring of Death on the XBox 360... I don't own one (and won't until I move back to Missouri most likely) but I'm very curious as to what causes it?
ok, have you really looked at your Mii Friend code?
it's a 16 digit number specific to each Machine. now that means there are 9,999,999,999,999,999 combinations (or 9 Quardillion 999 Trillion 999 billion 999 Million 999 thousand and 999)
there are only (in the mid-rage of) 6 billion people on the planet.. (we'll just say an even 6 billion for ease of mind purposes)
why did nintendo feel the need to make sure there would be enough codes for every person on the planet to have 1,666,666 Wiis?
I felt like listening to something I hadn't heard in a while, and found my 'Garbage' collection (I love them!), anyway, it got me thinking about wtf has happened to music... we have some decent metal songs out, a whole bunch of rap crap.. and a ton of sappy overplayed love songs that say the same thing every other love song has been saying for the past 30 years... I just think it's getting a little old, the only thing that's grown it seems is Rap and metal, Rock has deteriorated (Led Zepplin, Def Leapord, and all them), Sappy Love songs are all STILL the same as ever, and Alternative is still... well.. alternative... the only positive note I can say about the current music is the lack of boy-bands...
ok, let's go into a little more detail about some of the biggest chick singers right now, we'll start with the beloved *caugh* Amy Lee (lead singer of Evanescence)... Good looking, yes. Goth.. you'd think so.. but no! She's a complete poser.. In her normal casual wear, and to anywhere else for that matter with the exception of when she sings, she's complete in 'punk' style.. and I really don't see Amy Lee as the type to go for that honestly.. I bet she was just some prep girl who was smarter then the others and knew where to get a fanbase.
Now we'll go with Avril Lavign, ohhh yay... I must say she has gotten a little better with her image, but she's still another complete poser.. When she started out she was complete punk, Sk8er Boi and all that, you could tell she barely had any idea wtf she was talking about, she only went for that style for the same reason Amy Lee went for hers.. for a fanbase... from her other songs, and seeing/reading interviews with her, you can tell she's just a spoiled brat who's one of those "I only fight for the winning side" sort of people. But in her defense she has gotten a LITTLE better with all that lately, and kind of started showing who she really is... but I doubt that will last long, she'll either get worse again, or her career will end... my prediction, we'll see ;)
Now in defense for both of them, I LOVE Amy Lees' voice, and a lot of her songs hit home with me, I just don't like her... same with Avril mostly, I like some of her songs, she has a fun voice.. I just don't like her...
Now for the fun part.. DUMB GIRLS!
We've all seen them... the stupid-ass white girls who either:
A. Only like guys who treat them like shit.
B. Only like Black guys.
C. Act completely and totally Ghetto, and live in a rich neighborhood.
I mean COME ON! wtf is so attractive about a guy with all silver teeth with his name engraved on them? I honestly thing it looks more like he has a whole bunch of capped teeth that are STILL rotting out... and for all you girls who ONLY date black guys, just WTF? you're all about "I want equal rights" and "treat me like you would anyone else" but then you don't treat others like you would anyone else.. or maybe it's deeper then that.. I don't know, either way, in the 90's, that didn't really happen.. it's not that black guys got more attractive... I dunno what it is.. you tell me... and then on to those completely ghetto white chicks who have never even SEEN the bad side of town.. we ALL know you're truly an Emo, just STFU and quit acting like you know wtf you're doing..
We've all seen these 3 types of women.. they're EVERYWHERE!!! WHY!?!? WTH is going on with our society!? oh... or I guess we could go with what everyone else seems to think is the right answer for everything... IT'S BUSH'S FAULT!!!! Come on people... it's you're own damn fault.. lol...
ok and one last thing.. before I get a whole bunch of "you're just doing this for attention" comments.. I want to ask you a question.. what did you write your blog for? was it for other people to read? wait... if other people read it, you're getting attention!! OMFG YOU ONLY WROTE YOUR BLOG FOR ATTENTION!!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG xD so ya... none of that... as I've learned.. don't suck... (and I'll just add) if you do, stfu xD
ok fine, I've already been asked to write a blog, so I am... I'll start out by saying that I'm terrible at this.
I've come to realize in the past 3 hours that I'm completely addicted to 2 songs right now, "Move Your Body" by Eiffel 65 (odd eh?) and www.LeekSpin.com by Holly Dolly (I have no idea what the song is called, that link will take you directly to the song). The reason I mention this is to kind of explain my mood right now, after listening to those 2 songs nearly over and over for the past couple hours, I'm sitting in my chair pretty much bouncing up and down half dancing in my seat :P
And now to move on to the Wii
I just bought the Wii (FINALLY) a couple days ago, and I have to admit, it hasn't turned off since I got it; with the combination of the Wii Sports (mostly the Boxing and Bowling), Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, Big Brain Academy, and a couple GameCube Games that I've been dieing to play since I lost my old GameCube (Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing), I've barely been able to leave the couch xD I love the Wii Controllers, the graphics are great from what I've seen so far, the only drawback I see so far, is the same problem Nintendo has almost always had, and that's their selection, Nintendo has always (except NES really) veered more towards the younger crowd, and always been slower with their production of games (which you should all already know), but right now it seems that what I payed for all this was definitely worth it:
Wii
Extra Controller
Controller Recharger (+ the rechargeable Batteries that come with it)
Standard Controller for the Wii
Regular GameCube Controller
Big Brain Academy
Mortal Kombat
Harvest Moon
Animal Crossing
total: (about) $700
Time Spent on it in the past 3 days: about 30 hours! xD (about 10+ hours a day, lol)
on a completely different topic, and a more personal note, I HATE TEXAS! I'm a Missouri Girl all the way, and I just moved down here recently with a friend of mine that I worked with where we lived before, we had both expected it to be kinda crappy, just cus of the size of this damnable city, but not this bad... She just refers to it as the 'Hell Hole'... well anyway, ya, dunno why I decided to say that, kinda pointless, but blah.. you just read it anyway, so HAH!
Favorite games include: most strategy games, but honestly I'll try anything, so I end up with a nice mix of games, like Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing, Halo 2, Civilizations 4, WarCraft 2 (TWO, not 3, and Don't even talk to me about W.O.W. or you shall die a horrible death) and many many others.
Avg Weekly GameTime: 30+ hours
I play console and PC games, but sadly havn't gotten around to getting an XBox360, or a PS3.
now that the IMPOTANT stuff is out of the way xD I'm a 19 yr old Female, living in a Hell Hole state that I can't wait to get out of and go back home (to Missouri), this Hell Hole goes by the Name of Houston, Tx. But don't be fooled by the English name it has, this city was forged in the fires of Mt. Doom by Sauron himself.
I'm pretty much your avg. nerd.. except on a couple traits, but we don't need to get into those.. and to prove it, I have (havn't played her in a long while though) a lvl 74 Silvan/Drow (I can give you the very... interesting back story to that if you understand why that's ridiculous) xD
