This month for me has been quite busy for me with birthdays, proms, projects, and work. I have found that this month i have probably played the least amount of time playing video games then any other month i can remember. During this month the only video games i played was the occasional kongregate challenge game (im addicted to getting kongai cards) and street fighter 4. Well my birthday happens to land in May and it never ever goes well for me, my luck seems to be at its lowest on my b'day. So the night before my idiot friends decided to throw me a party, that included lots of call of duty (which ironically i hate), marvel vs capcom 2 (makes of for call of duty), guitar playing, improvised songs, tricking girls to watch 2 girls one cup, and various other pointless activitys. However at 12:12 May 16th, 12 minuets into my birthday, i decided to declare to one of my friends that i could "beat his ass in street fighter 4 with one hand tied behind my back". Aggravated at me calling him out (even though i am a much better street fighter player he is) he accepted and we ran to the xbox like moths to a flame. I then grabbed the SF4 case and and turned on the xbox by opening the disk tray. Getting that shitty call of duty out of my xbox and popping in street fighter was all that was on my mind. Then i hear my friend yell "Oh Shit, N**** your xbox" (let me just note that my friend nor anyone in that room was black, hes just a idiot as stated before." So with dispare looming over the entire frame of my body, i looked down at that ring of light to notice 3 red rings. I wasnt pissed off about it, unlike the first time i got these rings, i was worried, worried that microsoft wouldnt fix it for free. I spent the rest of my night worrying about things regarding my xbox, and the rest of my day turned out to be pretty shitty as well. I worried for nothing though, because microsoft took my xbox back very quickly without a problem (I even had the shortest conversation on their tech support line i ever had to go through too.)



After that horrific day, sat down at home alone and found myself to be really bored. Even though i have not played my xbox without other people in a long time, i wanted to play xbox more than ever. Even though i have a computer filled to the brim with excellent games such as Demigod and Team Fortress 2, i did not want to play those, i wanted my xbox back. The same thing happened to me the first time I got the rrod, i didnt play my xbox for months before i got it, then when i did get it, i suddenly wanted to play it more and more. Have any of you guys felt anything similar to this, i know some of my friends have told me about having the same feelings. Also how do you guys cope in a post Red Ring Of Death life, im planning to play more aforementioned Demigod and TF2.
