Mhm. I fail to see why you would need to move while playing, or would be unable to take a disc out otherwise. A friend of mine ruined his NCAA disc like that. Just don't do it, you should never have a reason to.

Even at a LAN party, you should still have some sense to turn it off first (or at least take the disk out)

I don't see what could be so important to have to move your 360 while in the middle of a game and you can't possibly stop the game and restart it. If you're that into the game, you've got a problem :/

As Kirk mentioned, that doesn't change anything. That doesn't even explain enough to be a logical response. How would having a LAN party mean you need to move your console, yet you can't take the five seconds to take the disc out?

I let my sister play DoA4 the day after I bought it, and she moved the console closer to her because the controller wire was too tight. Note that we have two wireless controllers, yet she insisted on using the wired one. :roll:

My rant: I've been up since 11am yesterday, and there's some weird shit going on with one of the sockets from my wisdom teeth surgery, the doctor is saying it's food lodged in there...but he hasn't seen it or anything, and it feels way too solid/large to be food. Fucking sucks.

I did that once when I had first gotten my Xbox, had to get a new copy of the game because of it (It's a good thing I had just bought that game). All I did was flip the Xbox onto its side, I didn't know it would scratch up my game so badly.

I used to last year, but for some reason they stopped, and now it only happens about every 3 months.

I hosted another LAN party this past friday. 8 modded xbox's, 8 tv's, 15 people. I had all the ethernets going through 2 different routers and such. How much more perfect could it be? One extra person of course, but no. I told the people not to bring guitar hero 2, but someone did, and so they went to one of the 8 tv's, pulled the xbox out and put it off to the side, plugged it in, and started playing. Everyone of course gathered round and watched. While waiting their turn, completely disregarded the 8 copies of Killtrocity v2 and that massive halo 1 mappack with 5 or 6 mappacks on it that I burned the day before, they decide (they = everyone but me) to have a "Soul Calibur 2 Tournament" I have the game and I have 4 xboxes so its on all 4 of the harddrives, so everyone was jumping on the xboxes to play soul calibur. So it was stupid.

In a nut shell, I set a bunch of shit up (8 tv's 8 xboxes)to play LAN games and everyone bails to play the guitar hero, and we got maybe 2 hours of halo in (legit halo 1) and that was out of 18 hours of being awake playing.

My parent's divorce.

I'm over the fact that they are getting divorced. And honestly, I want them to split up because frankly, I'm tired of all the shit they're putting on me. My dad calls me to give me stupid fucking updates about it that I don't give a crap about, and tells me to do this and that to get back at my mom for him and to show her that he doesn't care anymore. My mom got a job so I can't do crap on weekdays anymore but sit and clean the house, watch my sisters, and take care of my dog. So now, I'm stuck in my fucking house pretty much all day on the weekdays doing shit. Then I have an annoying little bastard who keeps calling me asking if he can come spend the night. I TOLD YOU 30 DAMN TIMES! NO! Yet he keeps on messaging me and calling me.

I'm fucking TIRED OF IT! They are stressing me out beyond my breaking point. Its getting to the point where I'm yelling at my phone to shut the fuck up when someone calls me. I want them to split up. But no. My retarded ass mom won't cooperate and won't talk to my dad for some retarded reason. So now every thing's at a halt and I'm stuck in the middle doing their crap for them.

Thanks, I love you too. I'm moving out as soon as possible.

Tell them to be more mature about it, not go around in the idiotic circles you've described. Ask why you're the only one acting like an adult here. That's a pretty decent argument to make. Meh. Seems like it would work, but I don't know the people.

I doubt they would listen. I hardly even know who my mom is from all the stuff I've learned about her, and my dad is lost in his game of trying to be the 'better person', and the 'right one' in the fight. I just want it over with.

Hearing that makes me glad my parents didn't do shit like that, and it makes me realize how well their divorce went. :?
