Never realized what a potentially dangerous color that was until this week...

I've missed a couple weeks of activity both on GS and online in general thanks to some faulty internet. Most of you remember me complaining about only having dial-up for the longest time, then a few months ago we were introduced to high-speed through a company called Ultra-net. Not really a satellite internet, it uses Verizon equipment to bounce off of cell towers. Long story short they put in the contract that should foliage cause the connection to fail they would void our agreement and break our contract free of penalty, sounds good right? Well once the internet started failing they automatically assumed it was because of the trees filling in and pretty much refused to listen to anything I had to say, even the techs that they sent out were too damn stubborn to hear me out for more than 3 minutes, I had my own reasons to think that it was their reciever on the roof that was faulty. Anyway I had finally convinced them after about 4 phone calls and using all my restraint, to come out and atleast attempt to replace the dish. Tech came out, went on the roof, removed the antenna and low and behold there were red ants in the modular that had eaten almost completely through it. In short, I was right, they were wrong, we got a new antenna and now everything is fine.

The other red I had dealt with this week was my Xbox finally falling to the dreaded red-ring-o-death, I thought for sure I was screwed completely since I had bought second hand from a friend of mine and it was well near 4 years old. Thankfully it was bought after June of 2006 when they extended it to a 4 year warranty so I had just slid in barely getting the completely free repair job, they even took care of shipping. So I'll be out on my ear when it comes to Xbox gaming for the next few weeks, still got the ole reliable PS3 to keep me busy.

I pre-ordered Alpha Protocol which they claim should be out by June 1st (almost a whole year past the original release) and I bought Persona3 to keep me busy till then.

I also started fooling around with this downloadable MMO "Grand Fantasia" very WoW esque...
