So there I was. Just, you know, chilling, bored out of my head and sobering up from years of alcohol abuse when I decided to play me some Ninja Gaiden 2. I'd gotten a little ways into it (by which I mean to the second boss) and I'd decided to cowboy up, take my beatings, and move on. So, I fight. I fight, and lose, and fight, and lose. Not going too well.

Finally, I start making some headway against him and his minions of "get in my way again, gotdamnit" ninja's, when my screen freezes. My controller still vibrating warmly in my hands. My mouth drops open. My heart sinks.

"No," I tell myself, "No...this can't be happening.."

I turn the 360 off. I turn in back on.


OH HAI THUR!


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

*weeps silently*

Alright then. Well, that sucks. So, no mas xbox for a little while, hopefully it'll be like last years RROD and take just over a week to get shipped and back.

On the plus side, I still have my crippling Animal Crossing addiction, and have rediscovered the joys of this:



Since my xbox left me on Saturday morning, I've logged over ten hours on P3 and can't wait to get off work to go back to playing. Normally I hate dungeon crawling games like this, but with the personas to unlock, the social links to develop, and the story overall, I'm hooked. Not to mention it has some of the greatest music ever.
