  A Forza 2 Discovery

  No matter what you do, do not play Forza 2 immediately after playing Burnout Paradise. It does not end well.

  The Gaming Gods hate me: Part Deux!

  Well, the TV is fixed! My roommate checked online, turns out what's wrong is the vertical alignment was off. The best way to fix that? Violence. It still gives me trouble whenever I turn the TV on, but a couple of hard whacks and I'm playing No More Heroes.
  
  Man: 1
  Insolent TV: 0

  The Gaming Gods hate me...

  It's true. They do. It's the only conclusion I can reach after what's happened this month. The horrors began earlier when my 360 went RRoD on me right after I had borrowed a bunch of games from a friend for the 360.
  
  Gaming Gods: "Hey, Hoffgod! You just beat Half Life 2. Want to play Episode 1, and then Episode 2 after that? Then, want to play Oblivion and Stranglehold? And hey, you love SHMUPS and look, Omega 5 just came out. Want to play that?"
  Me: "Such a bountiful harvest! Thank you Gaming Gods, I would love to pl-"
  Gaming Gods:
  Me: "****!"
  
  Then, Brawl gets delayed. The sequal to my favorite GameCube game, the game I've been playing for more than six years, gets delayed again.
  
  Gaming Gods: "Haha! You actually thought it would come out on time? It's a Nintendo game! Of course it's going to be delayed, moron!"
  Me:
  
  Then, just today, to complete the trifecta of tragedy, the TV in my dorm room died. Right in the middle of a game of Battalion Wars 2, the entire image compresses vertically to about 1/8th what it should be.
  
  Me: "Well, I don't have a 360 to play or Brawl to look forward to right away, but hey, I've got a bunch of great games for my Wii and PS2, and I'm going to go pick up No More Heroes this weekend. That'll be pretty sweet."
  Gaming Gods: "Yeah, but what'll you play it on?"
  Me: "Why, this TV of course. The one working perfect.... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
  
  So, needless to say, I'm a little ticked right now (though I am having lots of fun with this post). I'm just hoping at this point my DS and PSP don't break, catch on fire, lead a bloody robot uprising, etc.
