So I was chatting in IRC while playing some GTA4, and CronosBlade linked this article and I was like oh shit, It's begun.
So after loading my Crossbow and saying goodbye to the IRCartel, I decided to finish one more mission before defeating the Zombie Hoard.
Well guess what happens when I start up my next mission....
OH GOD NO! NOT MY PRECIOUS 360! I NEVER TREATED YOU WRONG, I THOUGHT WE WOULD LAST FOREVER!
After going through this phase, I decided to remember the good times. Oh the first time we got 1000 GS on one game. Unlocking the Third Island in GTA4. The numerous FNF times. It was a great journey.
Being the great writer I am, I decided to write a little song for my beloved, before I ship her off to the Hell that is M$.
An ode to Vlambo's 360.
Baby I wanna play all night and day
I want to press your buttons till the sky turns grey
You are the only one for me
My beloved 360.
I'll miss you baby, Forever yours,
Jon "Vlambo" Wall

Ball between the Elbow and hand, that's how you carry a Foo- Grifball
If you are like me, Halo 3 is really only played when you have a number of friends on, or something really fun comes up.
Well this is one of those times. Bungie has announced the return of Grifball to the Double EXP weekends. Having just discovered Grifball, thanks to the Heroic Map Pack being free, and missing the last one, I'm really looking forward to this. When a FPS combines Football-like elements to a gametype, I eat that up.
The list went up earlier today and will run to Monday at 2 am. So, hopefully I'll see some of you on there. Lets hope your not on the wrong side of my Grif-arm from Hell.
[Thanks Xbox360 Fanboy]

So here is my entry into the "Turning Point Gaming Rig" contest. I'm only 17 so technically the Tower PC, is my families, but I use it the most, and have bought many accessories for it.
First off here is my Room Computer, my laptop.
Dell Latitude D600
I was surprised to find out that it could run WoW, but it can't run anything else.
And here is my Tower PC.
Dell Dimension 2400
This thing can't run anything. I really only use it for my Modem, Router and Printer.
Both of my PC's were made in 2003, so I'm kinda living in the Past, CPU wise. Hell, The Tower doesn't have PCI Express port or the other kind (I apoligise, the name has escaped me atm)
Also, for good measure, Here's my gaming set-up.
I have there a 32" SDTV I got for $100, my 360, about 10-11 Games, about 15-ish DVD's and my 360 Controllers. And if you look close enough, I have Mini-Cheif fighting Mini-Arbiter on top of the television.
Thanks for taking the time to look at my sad PC's and my Gaming Rig. Good Luck to all, And I look forward to seeing what kind of Rigs you guys have.

Howdy y'all. This is my first post so I would like to introduce myself. My name is Vlambo. Been playing games since I could remember. My first game memory is probably beating the First level of Lethal Weapon 2 for my SNES and then never figuring out how to beat the next level.
Anyway onto the story...
I often play Halo 3 nowadays because of no sufficient funds to buy any other game. So Yesterday I was playing a BTB, like I usually do, and I end up in a CTF on Sandtrap. Now I look over the team and it doesn't seem like anything out of the ordinary.
So we start and right off the bat I see "Lethal sh0t has betrayed Hamsa****"(Don't know if Hamsa wants his GT Released). I caught the name with the corner of my eye and started to think if it could be someone from Destructoid. So I carry on and bout 10 minutes later we are down to 3v3 after many D/C's and a few boots. I see this Hamsa fellow carrying the flag for the last cap and the game ends.
So after the game, I look at this Hamsa's Gamertag and profile and it seems to have "Destructoid.com" in his profile. So I then look at the FoF Feature (Who woulda thought it be useful) and saw the names of many Destructoid regulars. So I sent a message asking if it was actually Hamsa, and low and behold, 5 minutes later I get message from him saying it is.
WOW! was all I could think
The chances of meeting a Dtoid writer by random was really cool in my eyes. 10 minutes later, he invited me to play and we played for a good 3 hours. We talked about Destructoid and I found out some really cool things about him.
For the first person I met from Destructoid, he was pretty cool.
Here's to Hamsa! For making me feel a part of the community!

P.S- And it will be a pleasure to meet a bunch of you tomorrow night for my first FNF!
