FnF: Totally NOT ready to Friday
smurfee mcgee \| 9:43 PM on 11.07.2008	8 comments

Yeah. Awesome.

I was looking forward to FNF today. Possibly one of the biggest releases for the Xbox 360 came out this week. However, Microsoft hates every single one of it's customers and I'm no exception.
I barely even got time with Fallout 3 or Quantum of Solace.

So, instead of Shooting giant insect-human creatures with other d-toiders, I'm playing de Blob. Might even get in some Goldeneye. Not bad games, but certainly not what I had in mind.
My 360 is in a corner waiting to be shipped to Texas so it can be thrown away and replaced with another shitty refurbed system that will last another few months. Why the fuck do I even bother buying games?

And Why does this seem familiar? ...
Oh yeah, the same thing happened last year just before the release of Halo 3. Wow; my 360 has timing.
I'm seriously fucking sick of Microsoft their shoddy consoles. It's not like it's a secret, but each time it just gets more enfuriating and mentally exhausting. It makes me not want to even turn on my 360.

These blogs are far too commonplace, and unless Microsoft makes some kind of effort to keep me as a customer, I might sell all of my stuff for a PS3.
I'm tired. All I want to do right now is play some games online with some cool people. Thank god I didn't buy that Live card.

Enjoy Friday Night Fights!

Goodnight.

We've just been playing Halo 3 for the last couple/few hours on my returned from Texas 360 and my power brick is HOTTTT..im scared.

@ Genfuyung

Freezing a lot is definitely NOT good.

Also, I feel ya man, my 360 just got sent in to Texas today. This is my first 360, so maybe I'll be lucky and won't get a shitty refurbed system back.

Infinite Obscurity

Also, I still wouldn't say trade it all in for a PS3. Game selection and online for 360 still kicks ass even if the system hardware sucks.

I'm waiting until the RRoD gets resolved to get a 360 to save frustration. So, I guess I'm never getting one.

Ron, it practically solved, those new chipsets really did wonders, it's people who had a 360 or a refurb that get RRoD.

@Infinite Obscurity: I love the 360 in general, it's the hardware itself that drives me mad. If it weren't for the problems, it would be a highly regarded console. It kinda is anyway.
I hope they give a new system.

Best solution... buy a PS3.

My fifth 360 is chilling in my entertainment center, and the last time I turned it on was to play Castle Crashers. My son is the only person in the house who plays 360. (which is pretty awesome, considering that most kids his age are busy playing shitty games on the wii)

Either way.. sorry for your loss. Its not surprising though.

about me

Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (such a mouthful)
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Half-Life 2
Banjo-Kazooie
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Tom Clancy's Endwar

Guess what? I like games.
Yes. I'm a gamer; so is everybody else on D-toid.
I'm smurfee_mcgee and I tend to failblog.
Gamertag: smurfee mcgee-add me.

Systems I own:
Nintendo Wii
Xbox 360
PSP
Nintendo DS
I've owned a lot, but sadly I didn't keep them. I also, up until a couple of months ago, had a PS2, but it took a $#!t.
I just recently got an N64 again. Starting again from scratch.

Stuff I like:
anything that's fun, honestly. If it looks fun, I'll give it a go. I'm not biased towards one game type.
couple of favs:
MOST things Mario [read: Mario's Missing]
Bioshock
the Mega Man series.
Virtua Fighter 5
Mariokart DS
CoD4
Tetris
the Burnout series
Conker's Bad Fur Day [awesome]
Banjo-Kazooie
Some monster truck game of which I can't remember the name
Ranbow Six series
Resident evil
So much. I won't post em' all, but so many.
ETERNAL DARKNESS-one of my favorite games. period.

I loved alot of my 64 games; wish I woulda kept em'
Actually, I should have kept alot of my stuff. but I didn't.

I'm a big advocate for multiplayer; whether split-screen or otherwise. Even some sucky games can be fun with a friend.
I lost a big chunk of my game archives in 2005, but I'm too poor to completely rebuild it. Instead I just pick em' up on the cheap whenever I get the chance.

I'm a big arcade guy. I love em', and I wish they weren't disappearing.
Hopefully they won't.

I'm just trying to have fun gaming.
