IT DIED

The economy, I mean. Not the 360; that works fine.

I'm a Mac...

I'm not a PC. My PC is currently dead. When I finally get around to fixing it, I'm seriously considering "downgrading" to Windows XP because Vista was a broken nightmare of an OS.

I'm also not very "PC" in that I keep calling Sgt. Griggs in CoD4 my "black up." I'd do the same to Cole in Gears of War, but the level of writing shown in that game implies that Cliffy. B beat me to the punch. Well, at least none of them got named Superfly Johnson (thanks Romero).

Another Week, Another Update

I'm in full swing of my WoW addiction, but I've still taken the time out of my week to let you know that my 360 is still better than yours because it's working.

Egads!

It has been too long since I last updated. I was too busy playing WoW on the PTR with the SDBGJKAB and the HTNANRZFQ. Yes, I am making up acronyms.

It still works, get over it.

Netflix for Games

I'm trying out Gamefly so I can rent all those games I never wanted to buy and see if they're actually any good. Suggestions accepted, since I don't pay enough attention to tell the cult hits from the crap.

Oh, and the white hourglass continues to shine green.

A Dream Come True

While playing Dead Rising on 'Infinity Mode' I ran into Otis. He tried to hit me with a frying pan, and for some reason seemed to do no damage whatsoever. I promptly caved his head in with a baseball bat. I somehow feel complete now.

Blue Fire Incident

It probably isn't a top priority in the military, but we should work on some kind of IFF system for ground troops. Consider the "Death from Above" mission in CoD4. Provide cover for the good guys and kill the bad guys. The good guys will be white, the bad guys will be white. To make it easier, the good guys will also have white on them. If that sounds annoying, there is an option to make the good guys black and the bad guys black, and the good guys will have black on them.

Amazing

I'm sure someone stopped and thought, "Hmm... I wonder if that guy's 360 died over the weekend." If that wasn't the case I have no justification for my existence and will have to drown my tears by imagining I can actually play the guitar via Rock Band.

New Old Busted Hotness

I got somebody's refurbished XBox 360 today. So if any of you had your 360 die, I might be playing on your repaired console. It came with 1 month of free XBox Live, a warranty extension, and a sincere apology. For the next few days any (infrequent) updates I post will mostly be me ranting on Call of Duty 4. I won't be doing regular updates myself because the point of this blog was the durability of my original XBox 360, not my certified pre-owned 360.

Traffic Light Game

I tried it with my 360, but the light stays green.

Waveform Uncollapsed

I didn't use my 360 last night. I'm sure the suspense as to whether it's working or not is killing you.

Still Alive

Yay Portal.

Boo, my 360 still works.
