Well, the sh*t finally hit the fan . . . or the DVD drive . . . or something.

Ya, anyway, my 360 is toast. After retaliating by eating my Splinter Cell Double Agent disc, my 360's DVD drive decided it had had enough and made deathly, and very scary noises every time I played a game. I think my 360 was possessed. Thus, there is the end to my 360 gaming for a few weeks. And thus begins my first no-gaming marathon! We are at 9.5 hours and counting! How long before I go insane? How long before I watch the evil known as NETWORK TELEVISION!?!? Or even worse, I could end up using the TELEPHONE!!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Tough times are ahead

But in all seriousness, this pretty much sucks. I did buy a Best Buy replacement warranty at the time of my purchase, but this'll take 2 to 3 weeks to get back to me. I'm going to try to scam some fools as some retail store so I can keep my hard drive and arcade games at least.

Sorry for the neglect this blog has been subjected to lately. Work, school, and SCDA have kept me tied up for a while. Not to mention that I'm lazy. To catch you up on what's been happening around here: I got an HDTV (SlimFit CRT) which has some geometry issues to be worked out yet, SCDA's multiplayer is awesome, SCDA's single player is OK, but not great, and (as mentioned earlier), my 360 jacked my SCDA disc. Yes, I've finally moved into the HD era. But high resolution and an awesome looking picture does come at a cost. I can no longer video capture from the 360. But heck, it's downright worth it!

9.75 hours and counting. This is going to be a long and painful 3 weeks. Track my 360's moans and groans as it travels across the country on it's long and painful journey here.
