  What a joke...

  Earlier this week a purchased a new 37in HDTV for my room, and it is awesome. All of my Xbox games look great, and its an overall vast improvement from that old piece of junk that I had. I think that it has improved my gameplay slightly as well as my overall gaming experience. The first time that I played Call of Duty 4 on it resulted in one of my best overall performances in a long time. I played 3 hours of Search & Destroy while in chat with my friend(Riche) and didn't get under 10 kills each time. That happened on Monday. Now when I got home on Wednesday, I find out that I have been suspended from Xbox live. My suspension is supposed to only be for a day, but we all know how slow microsoft is. The funny thing is that I never said a word on Monday, I just stayed in a chat with my friend. But I noticed my rep drop 3 points. Odd right? We all know how this really played out. We played the same group of people, who were all in a party together for 2 1/2 out of the 3 hours. We blew them out every match for the better part of 3 hours. Now nost people would have been just a little pissed off by getting their arse handed to them for that long, and these fools were no exception. Everyone of those kids probably filed a complaint on me for having an "offensive" bio. This has also happened to two of my other friends several times. This is what happends to people on Xbox live for being good at a certain game. I know for a fact that it was them because I didn't play live on multiplayer any other day since I purchased my new TV on Saturday. Monday was the only day, and you see how that day went. Live is a joke, and microsoft will suspend anyone so long as you can get enough friends to file a complaint on someone. They don't even review each case, nor do they care. All of those pricks you see on live talknig crap out of their arse never seem to get suspended, but the players who are just good, always get screwed in the end. There was some justice though, seeing as my Xbox Live gold subscription expired Wednesday, the same day that I got suspended. I purchased a new Year of Gold when I bought my new TV, but I haven't used it yet, so in other words I'm not losing a day of gaming that I actually have to pay for. In the meantime I get to sit here and enjoy my new HD Channels & HDTV while I wait for my suspension to be lifted.It really doesn't bother me that I can't play online, since I can still play GTA IV, MLB 2K8, or just watch my new TV. The thing that bothers me is the BS reason for my suspension. This just proves that Xbox live & Microsoft is a joke.

  I am annoyed...

  Xbox Live is really annoying me. For the past 3 weeks it was been horribly screwed up and very, very glitchy. It seems that everytime that more than a few thousand people are on, it screws up. Xbox live in general gets all laggy, and COD 4 severly messes up. Like I said, its not a constant thing, but it does occur most of the time when the bulk of players signed online, which is 80% of the time. Its pretty ridiculous that it could go on screwing up and causing lag freezes for this long. You figure that they could have resolved this by now. The whole reason that several of my friends and I own a 360 is because of its excellent online feats, and as of 3 weeks ago its a bi+ch to even stay logged in. They couldn't have this problem during a month that I'm really busy can they? all this must happen when I turn to my 360 a lot in my spare time....my luck right?

  Merry Xmas

  Who reads this blog anymore? Been about 20 years since I posted here. Maybe now I'll remember why I hate all of you? Anyways don't get to used to seeing my candy arse around here to often(like anyone gives a hoot) Becuase the moment that I think that I may start coming here again, something will mysteriously happen and my PC will "crash" or I'll get moderated(oh my god guys!) for something that I said 20 years ago. But oh well! The past is the past, and this place has a distinct place in the past, which is where it belongs for me, buried in my memories of old forgotten keyboard strokes.....maybe.(i'm a huge hypocrite and a liar if you didn't notice) So anyway Merry Christmas to all those folks bored enough to read my old arse blog!(Maybe I should try to sound nicer if I want people to read my stuff? Just a thought....)
