Okay.. so I jus moved and I hadnt hooked up my xbox lately.. But I bought Bioshock today(badass) so I had to.. now for the past.. since whenever Darkness was released.. I've been havin this problem where my 360 doesnt read the video game or DVD disks without being beaten like a redheaded stepchild.. Ridiculous.. right? Yeah.

So I put in bioshock. It didnt read. I said wtf and smacked the thing.. then it magically read it.. I was so happy..

Ten minutes into the game it cuts out.. I'm thinkin okay wtf. I check my box and my heart sinks.. the red rings.. omg.

Yeah. OMFG. I was sooo pissed.. I jus wanted to shoot the box an take myself with it XD

So.. as most people probly would, I turned it off and turned it back on, and magically it worked. It read the disc immediately and it didnt even cut out. Now I know about the stupid red rings when somethin isnt plugged in--it wasnt that. I've had those before. It straight up stopped--the red rings. I think my pants are wet, cuz I played for a couple hours without a problem..

I thought when you get red rings it destroyed your system beyond repair and you couldnt play it anymore..

..not that it repaired your system so you could play the game you just bought!

So I'm guessin my dead dad got inside there and messed with it till it worked ;)

I mean i pulled one of those "if you're with me.. then do this.." and it happened. And I jus wrote and produced an album that I dedicated to him on the cover last night.. yeah..

You may not care or believe that happened, but i dunno. I cant explain how else the freakin red rings attacked my system and my heart then poof--it works. yay!

So tell me wtf the red rings do and how they work?! Cuz I know I got the official ones.. i've been reading and dreading them since i got my 360..

From what I've read, not really. It seems like RROD is like the unbeatable boss of any game. It's like a 'The End'.

If it's anything like The End of MGS3.. I beat it XD

I cant believe it.. if it's really unbeatable.. how the hell did my game work?! Maybe my red rings were like.. a health gain.. XD I dont know, I cant explain it but dammit i dont wanna.. i'd rather live in ignorance with a working 360 than bother tryna figure out why.

Ignorance is bliss. Seriously, just play and damn the consequences. Until of course it happens again that is.
