So my 360 keeps crashing...No RRoD, the screen just gets all distorted and the system crashes. It does this with CoD 4 and UT III. I just sent the thing in and got a new one a month a half ago and find it hard to accept that this one is already dead. I was thinking it's simply over heating, I have the system on it's side, with a fan blowing on it and the powerbrick is off the ground...

Now after it crashes I wait, it cools and then it works...I was thinking about picking up the Nikon InterCooler ( The fan you plug into your 360 )

But I want to know if it's worth trying, as I'm not working right now due to being sick like I told you and I need the money to see Hayley, and I don't know when I will be able to work again, so I don't want to waste the money, but if there is a chance it might work, I might be willing to shell out the money.

What do you all think of my problem? Is my 360 too hot? Or do I send the damn thing into M$ once again?

Taken from my post in the 360 forums...

I also read that M$ wont fix a crashing system for free unless it's RRoD, my last one the video card died so it was a different matter...So...Is that true?

ALSO

Pick a game for each system

Gamecube
DS

Wii
Xbox

Xbox360

My parents are going out of town so that means...EBGames ^_____^ I can't let it go to waste

Died today

**** you M$...**** you

>_>

I don't wanna call them and have to do the unplug and plug in BS they want you to do.

"Did you try turing it off and on?"

"*** off..."

-_-

I don't want it anymore...Maybe I will get a PS3 after all >_>

Is NHL 09

And the Canucks don't fail as hard now >_>

Edit: And I get to see if I need a heart monitor today too. >_>

Yeah, getting the 360 back in the next 5 ( Business >_> ) days. Got over a month of built up ownage in me. Getting kinda hyped to play some H3 again, maybe get some NHL 08 and a bit of CoD 4 as well...Then maybe GTA if I feel like it.

And who is Max? Well...Max is the recording that told me my system was sent out to me...Yep. So it better damn well get here unlike the damn box they sent for me to send the thing in. >_> The box has no value to me, the system itself does. -_-

I've been playing Brawl...And the online works ( Shocking, I know ) and I'm not too bad at it. I use Ike in Brawl as my main ( He's so damn strong... )

I got my passport yesterday...Just that it's been at the damn post office for 16 before that... ( ****ing Canada post >_> ) So that is the biggest stress gone. I can go see Hayley...^_^

Just took 11 months ( >_>; )

But I can't go for a bit....I gotta take time off work...Three weeks. -_-

I had to go the hospital and get a heart test, and a thyroid and a kidney test and chest x-rays. Doctor says I'm fine though, so that was good to hear. My chest still hurts and I still can't really do much without being worn out -_- Then he's had me on like three meds in the last few weeks too. >_> So I'm getting the side effects and that's fail. It's like...Leave me alone. This is my last damn year of being a "Child" -______-

So just an update on what's been going down.

I did say I wasn't leaving forever I will get to posting in your blogs to make up for the time I was gone, but as for myself I don't think I'll be making blogs that often, or really be around the site a ton. So please don't take offence if I don't post in your blog, I'm not ignoring you. I promise.

Peace out GS friends. Hope to talk to you all again soon, and for you that have me on XBL...We'll get to own some fools again real soon.

And yes Andi....We will play GH III when I get my 360 back

I think...I'm going to leave GS. Forever? Doubt it, but in ways of blog and posting, for the most part yes. I'll use the site for what it is. I know some of you have my MSN ( Thought I'm never on it ) my XBL ( II Blue Soul II ) and even my cell phone number ( Ask if you REALLY want it ) I thank you all for you posts in my last blog, I got rid of it because it wasn't right to make it. I guess I was just mad...

Take it easy everyone

Well, no and no. I'll save the most important for last though.

But first, fast update on the 360, no I didn't get the box and no I didn't call, and no I don't know when I will, and I don't really care anymore at this point as I REALLY doubt I'll be here when it's back. So feel free to take me off your friends lists, you wont see me on XBL for a LONG time it seems. I'd say to be realistic...LATE July or the start of August, is when you could expect me to be back on.

I finished The World Ends With You, now doing the little after story with Hayley's help as she's much better at the game then I am, and I don't really get the clues it gives you.

I'm at the last boss on Tales of the Abyss, I played it last night and died at him...That was my first death, I was none too impressed with myself after that. I beat him just fine on my first play of the game, although that time I took 10 extra hours to get to him and was more then 10 levels higher...All the same, though...Not cool.

I went back to work this week, and it sucks. This new girl has a "work coach" ...She's "Special" ... not to be an ass...But she's less then helpful so far from what I've seen. I really can't rely on her if I ever needed help with something. Her "coach" has kept her in line, but when she leaves...Ugh...I don't know. So yeah, it's not cool. We don't need to shave anymore either...Just that I shaved before I went back as I didn't know that...So I was not thrilled about that. Whatever though...We also got a 10% discount on things in the store, I wont use it, I have no need for 10% off food. I never spend more then 7 there on lunch dollars anyway, parents can use it though if I'm the one to swipe the card. Don't have to tuck shirts in either now it seems. It's nicer then before. I still don't really have much to do though, with the phone I get, gives me reason to walk around the store the whole time I'm there. It's stupid. Other then that though. It's the same now as it was a month ago. It's easy and takes no real effort at all.

So on that note, with work again and and extra 300 dollars in the bank that I didn't think I had. I'm going to be able to type a blog up about 4 weeks from now saying I'm leaving. ^_^

And by we're, I mean I, and I am going back to work. My old job that pays more but less hours. I go in there yesterday thinking I'll end up getting kicked out of the upstairs part of the store and be told I don't work there anymore and ect, but no...I walk up and my boss was walking down, we talked and I go back next week, and at last on Thur of this week we get an employee discount. No tax at a food store FTW. We sell games, but I don't have the money for that. So that puts things back on track, and I'm happy with that. The work is hella slack too. I might get the night shifts again too. I have to do NOTHING and I mean NOTHING on those. I walk around, talk to friends, and take a half hour break. I hope I don't get them though, as I wouldn't be able to talk to Hayley at all on those days.

Still no news on the 360 ( I didn't borrow my friends' ) I have to check the mail and see if the box came. I think it'll just get send to the post office and then we'll get a slip in the mail saying to pick it up. For whatever reason, I want to play Gears and DMC 4. Two games I have finished and don't really think much of...I guess it's true. You really can't appreciate most things until you lose them.

On the topic of DMC 4, I've been playing DMC 3, I've owned this game over two years, and I just opened it yesterday. I got the DMC triple pack when that came out and was going to play them in order, but I didn't beat DMC 1 and then I got and beat 4, so I thought I might as well play the others. Since DMC 3 takes place at the start of the series, I thought I should play that first, and then DMC 1, and I can save what DMC 2 for last, I've been told DMC 2 is really bad, and this way I wont need to play that one the get to DMC 3. DMC 3 is harder then 4 so far. I like Nero much more then Dante, and I really miss Nero's devil arm. That helped a ton. I didn't enjpy the Dante parts as much as I wasn't too good with him. I felt like I could play the game on DMD mode with Nero, but Dante I just had a hard time getting a "flow" with. So DMC 3 has been harder for me so far.

Big thanks to stephanime for the new banner. I got lucky and got first post in her new blog she made the great banner you can see if you look up at it. >_>

Crono is starting to get old. So list some SNES games if you know any good ones, so I can give them a shot.

Yep...I'm done.

Song of the blog ; Billy Talent - Red flag

stephanime; "The first time we played on LIVE, was my accent really heavy and did you understand a word I said?" - Yes I did. You didn't have one at all to me to be honest. You were really quiet and didn't talk too much, but you were easy to understand. I guess you were too busy killing me to talk though. >_>

fishdalf; "What's the proudest moment of your life?" - I'm not really sure how answer that. I could say a few things that made me happy, but that would have to do with someone making me happy. For just 100% me, I think it was getting my 360. I worked and saved for it and it felt good to have been able to do something for myself. It wasn't so much the 360, just that I worked for something and got it, after it seemed so far away a few months before.

MoonFoxx; "Ask you questions about what?" ( Sorry I had too ) - Questions about this blog

Cougarhart61; "Why is cougar such a hawt muffin?" - It's gotta be the sunglasses, the ballin hat and the new cell. Pimp

"Why do you envy Cougarhart so much?" - Who doesn't want a working 360? >_>

"Why is Cougar so good and better than you at every game? Especially halo?" - You're only better at GH III, Gears, GTA IV, CoD 4, and Orange box. I am better at Halo 3. >_>

mac906; "Why are you so damn awesome?" - Ego boost FTW...Ahh. Well. Honestly. I can't answer such a question, I don't think much of myself, I'm just me. That's all.

"Why did you join Gamespot in the first place?" - It was to post about games, I wanted to talk to other that liked them as much. I never thought I would get more then 100 posts. I also didn't post in OT for a year. It took me that long to get my first 1k posts.

Whicker89; "Why doesnt cougar seek cover in COD4?" - From what I have seen, he gets the first shot off most times, and he REALLY wanted to kill you. >_>

"Why is cougars head so easy to hit with a pistol across a map?" - Cougar's are big animals..

"Did you know I have been here a month longer than you?" - I do now

JustPlainLucas: "This wouldn't happen to have anything to do with Kevin calling you out on the 10 you gave Halo 3, would it?" - Yes >_>

billnye69; "why is Hayley the man in your relationship?"- Well Ryan. >_> I don't think of relationships like that to start with. ( Knows Cougar will say something )

Devil_Huntress: "Hmm I don't really have a question to ask?" - Okay then

About my Friend of the week and top 5 games Ben. I just didn't know who to pick, and then I didn't know what games. Like...It would be...Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, RE 4 and some RPG.

>_> Boring right?

So my 360 is leaving...I should have the box soon and then it will take 2-3 weeks to get back once they are done. That sucks pretty hard. Like, I'm not happy. Plus I hope I get MY 360 back. It's given me lots of "Lawls". I guess I'll stick with the Wii until it's sold and the DS and...The pile of SNES, NES, N64, and GBA games that I can get at any given time. >_>

Edit: Links don't work, but I don't care. >_>

R.I.P 360

Not RDOD...Just, it was showing odd colours, like it was a mix of green and yellow on the screen, and I was all

>_>

So I turn it off and now...When I turn it on, I get nothing. No video at all, the screen makes the flicker it did before, so I know it's not the TV and I tried both outlets...So now...My 360 is broken.

What the hell else is next? Maybe I'll get shot tomorrow. Like really. This is just stupid now...

Update: Dad called M$ and I'm sending it in...So it's a month without live for me...

And on the job I should get the call soon, and maybe start this week.

So...I might not even be here when it's back

As I said last blog, I got rid of a lot of reviews that I made, that I didn't like.

And all three Halo games' reviews were deleted, and so...I want to re-do them. As those three games are the best I have ever played.

So I will be playing and finishing all three Halo games, starting with Halo:CE ( I will start that tonight )

I think I'll play them on Heroic, as the others are too easy and Legendary will take too long. I'll revew them as I beat them. This also means I'll be...Playing Halo 2 online again for the first time in a bit, I played it a few days ago, and that was the first time since the day before Halo 3.

I've never had so much fun with a game, or cared about a story as much as I do Halo. It's given me hours of fun, a ton of great memories, be them at home playing them alone, at a friends, friends at my house, or on XBL. I've wanted to do this for a while, and now I'll get too.

AND ASK ME QUESTIONS! I can't make a Q and A blog with 2.

-_-
