Indeed. Nowadays, after finishing the fight, the only reason I play H3 if for Forge sometimes. The rest I play on system link with other people...since my connection sucks the cock too much to be playable on live.

Halo 3 isn't uploading about half of the screenshots I take to Bungie.net. =\

That, or be on live when you take them...Or fileshare for those excellent shots (fileshare only takes like 2 seconds in comparison to get on Bnet)

Left my house keys in my other pair of pants.

Had to wait 4 hours outside before my mother came home from work.

Ugh, I used to do that all the time after I got home from school. My grandparents live a few blocks away so I usually just went and visited them until someone let me in.

I got really pissed off too, there were 2 grouse in a tree outside and since my pellet gun was inside all I had was a bow and arrow set that's too small (and i'm not very good with them anyway).

Long story short I missed far too much with my arrows and eventually they flew far enough away I couldn't see where they had landed (I chased them around for a half an hour, they aren't that bright, they just fly away 50ft then sit in a tree again, and let you come pretty close)

Now if I had my gun... Frickin pissed that I didn't have those keys.

I don't believe it...

I've been under the impression that the xbox 360 malfunctions whilst due to a design flaw, that poor handling was the main catalyst behind it.

After treating my xbox360 with love and respect (well, the most one can give for a console)...I got 3 red lights. This is just really upsetting...Came home from the movies hoping to snipe some Brute but I am met firstly with a frozen boot screen, then nothing.*sigh* 360 was always a good thing to relax with after a whole day of work/study

So I won't be playing you guys again for awhile sorry.

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Tue Oct 16, 2007 4:23 am

just being stupid ol me.

so that means you still got a warranty?

ScottyGEE · Post by **ScottyGEE** » Tue Oct 16, 2007 5:20 am

I'd have had to had have my xbox 360 for over 3 years for it to be out of warrenty

I guess I'll call up tomorrow to have it shipped away...Hopefully for some strange reason they give me a HDMI version >_> But I'd much prefer a quick fix than anything...Not these month long waits that I've heard about.

___________________

On a seperate note, I've come back from watching the new resident evil movie. It was a good movie, but the product placement was appauling. Seriously, if I ever were to meet the people responsible for this movie, I would beat them to death. I'd want to use my fists, but no, I'd be more humiliating, I'd beat them down with the products that they had sexual relations with and sold out to to produce the movie.

Now I am well aware of product placement (as I'm sure everyone unfortunatly is) but this movie made me cringe literally. It reminded me of Transformers.

Sure there are passing nods like the Pepsi (Banner sized nods). But then "oh look at me I ride a BMW bike", or the constant VIAO laptops being thrusted at my face.
This is normal (but still bad) but what raises my blood pressue beyond that of an American fat man at a Food court and gets me to the point where I want to punch the person sitting next to me in the face (even though its my friend) just to vent the sheer agony of having paid for this movie is one certain character...Sure she's hot, but it shows just how far directors are willing to sell out in order to make more millions.
"Hey, what's your name?"
"K-Mart"
*chuckles*
"What's with the name?"
"Oh, its where they found me, all my friends were dead, so I thought it'd be time for a change" (coz for some reason, whilst there's a zombie infection covering the whole world, and my friends had just died, I'll just, you know, hang out at the mall, where by some strange sense of logic, no zombie would ever be)

Now lets stop and think for a second...K-Mart...The character is named after a store. So not only do we have to have a constant barrage of relentless, bloodthirsty ads (and of course, a few zombies on the way), we have to deal with a character that is product placement. Congratulations K-Mart, I'm never going to walk into your store again. Sure I never went there, but I'll be damned if any of my friends are going to stoop so low and shop there...Not on my watch

Unfortunatly, even though I really really hate it all...To a degree its working. Even though I'll neveer purchase the products that were listed in this movie, the simple fact that I can name these companies shows the extent of which I have been assaulted.

I thought I'd make make a new promo poster for them...Perhaps it'll get more people to see the movie, or perhaps it'll be less. At least people will know what they'll be getting.

...

After all that though, the movie was fun to watch, its just a pity that the "kool" level of so many things are so critically wounded by selling out (see: Fight night 3, Transformers, Blade 3, Yaris, Valve and Counter-Strike)

Don't even get me started on this new "Yarris" game by Toyota unless you want to be RC'd*
*I would not RC someone for such an offence (note the use of offense), but I'm just saying how bad it is...

Ok...Now back to me being upset with my 360 =(

I had a physical, had blood taken, and had a wart frozen off today.

I don't mind physicals, but I really had to take a piss...and we all know what doctors do during those sorts of things *cough cough*. Then, when my doctor was freezing off the wart, some of the fluid leaked a bit to the side of the wart...so now it's going to get a water blister, and I have to "see him in a few days to take care of it."

Getting blood taken is never fun, but today was a bit odd...as soon as she put the needle in my vein, the blood like...exploded in to the vial. She was surprised and asked if I had an abnormally high blood pressure or anything...weird day.

Anyway, shit sucked, I can't work out, bleh.
