They will be loud, and probably pretty girly sounding.

As you know, I've been primarily focused on playing Rogue Galaxy; and I still am, however what kind of gamer would I be if I ignored my 360? So to take a break from Jaster and company, I decided to throw KotOR into my 360 and swing a lightsaber at things for awhile. While waiting for the game to load, I went into the kitchen to fix myself a sandwich, because it just seemed like a good idea at the time. Then I heard this loud "POP" come from the direction of my room wherein resides my 360 along with all other game related apparati. "censored explitive!" I yelled as I scrambled across my wooden floor in socks, performing a very Tom Cruise in 'Risky Business' like move past my destination and almost into a bathroom sink.

 The TV screen was locked, covered in glitches reminiscent of what the old NES games looked like when they froze, and there sat my 360. Its demon red lights glowing at me, watching me, waiting.... OUT DEMON! I called to it as I jumped towards it and hit the eject button. Instead of ejecting, it decided to start chewing on the disc, making that noise that NO electrical device is supposed to make, unless of course it's literally built to grind things. Like rocks. The red lights were flashing, I assume it was laughing at me and my futile efforts to rescue my game from it's evil clutches. I hit the power button a few times, but that did nothing, I finally just pulled the power cable. I half expected it to stay on, hover into the air, and start spitting pea soup at me. It didn't, I'm just saying it wouldn't have been much of a stretch. I turned it back on via the eject button, once again hoping just to get my game back, and I did. In a sense. It's haloed pretty badly, and will never be of any use again. I'm not TOO bothered by this, as I can pick up KotOR from Gamestop for like 10 bucks. However - my 360 and I are not on speaking terms at the moment. It starts up just fine, and seems to be okay now, but It's done this to me before... lulling me into a false sense of safety. Then it attacks! So I'm thinking I may just rid myself of this machine before it pulls a 'Christine' on me and starts killing my loved ones.

This will give me a reason to upgrade to the Elite, I WANT a 360 - there are too many games coming out for it that I must have. I just don't want THIS 360 anymore. It is obviously evil, and wants me dead. I'm worried though, that maybe MS hasn't worked out enough of the hardware issues that it will just screw up again, I know some people are on their 3rd system already. I bought mine in October 2006. Which I assumed was a recent enough version that I wouldn't have to endure things like this. "it'll never happen to me"  I thought. Of course thats also what teens think about drug overdoses and car accidents. 

I need an old priest and a young priest.
