I toss around the term, bad luck a lot. Yet today it defines itself to me more than any other day.




So finally, I have Modern Warfare 2 in my hands. I go forth in placing it in my disc tray, and begin playing it for say, about twenty minutes. That far in, I begin to see translucent blue patches in the game world. Each patch stays where it is at, and each texture in the game has a different one.. I grew tired of this, and so I decided to stop playing and turn my console off, to fix the problem. When I turn my console back on, NO VIDEO!


Thirty minutes of me fooling with cables, video resolutions, and many other frantic attempts at fixing the problem, I am still left without video, and hope. I have now come to a conclusion that my xbox's GPU has disconnected from the motherboard. My 'one year warranty' is apparently long gone, as xbox.com tells me. So I am left with shattered dreams, and heartbreak. The least it could do is completely brick on me(RRoD), so as I could get the free repair. But no, if I send this into repair, I have to pay Microsoft 100 big ones.



I am trying however to see it a different way though. My 360 just couldn't handle Modern Warfare 2's love.

And the video I watched to cheer my self up?
