About Me


Pronunciation: "Miks-yez-pit-lik" Most people just pronounce it "Mix" or "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.

Mxyzptlk Joins the RRoD Club
Aaron Mxy Yost | 5:00 PM on 11.23.2008 66 comments




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 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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Each system has its faults, stop the fanboyism. Unless it's against the Wii. Then go all out.

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.

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...
