In retrospect although some would complain about stability and such, I've had a ton of fun with the 360. I've enjoyed the games I bought for it and the arcade games are a hoot also. Although its a pain to send it in and all, I dont have any regrets on buying one.
In my case I'll guess that it is chip related, not physical. The DVD drive seems to work fine, in addition to everything else minus a random hard-lock with graphical corruption. Hopefully the repaired one will have passed the speed binning process with a bit more margin of error.
I picked up Halo 2, Ninja Gaiden and Ghost Recon 2: Summit Strike to mess with on the 360 since it had been a year since the last xbox game I bought. I guess I can head back to my Xbox and play around with those while I wait.

Jayne: [to Simon] Little Kaylee here just wishes you was a gynecologist.
[Jayne laughs]
Mal: Jayne, you will keep a civil tongue in that mouth, or I will sew it shut. Is there an understanding between us?
Jayne: You don't pay me to talk pretty. Just because Kaylee gets lubed up over some big-city dandy...
always confused the hell out of me. I always understood that as
Jayne: [to Simon] Little Kaylee here just wishes SHE was a gynecologist.

Mal: Jayne, you will keep a civil tongue in that mouth, or I will sew it shut. Is there an understanding between us?
Jayne: You don't pay me to talk pretty. Just because Kaylee gets lubed up over some big-city DAME... (referring to Inara)
and I always wondered what ever happened to kaylee's homosexuality in later episodes.
did anybody else make that mistake or am I just uniquely daft?

So, Christmas is over and I ended up getting only two games this year, as I feel it was a really pathetic year for gaming overall and didn't want much. Anyway, I got Stubbs the Zombie for the PC and Super Mario Brothers 3 for the GBA (yay oldschool). Sadly, I wasn't allowed to own videogame systems as a young child, so I never got to experience the supposed "joy" of the Mario games then.
And after experiencing it now, all I have to say is, "What was all the fuss about?"
Call me uncultured, call me retarded, but I just am not enjoying Super Mario Brothers 3. If anything, I find it annoying. It's just so damn unforgiving! The controls make it feel like Mario is sliding around uncontrollably on an ice rink. And he inevitably slides uncontrollably right into the enemies and into death pits. Couple this with the "you die instantly" health "system" and you have a recipe for frustration. I have spent more time in the menu screen waiting to replay a level again than actually playing the game. How is that fun? It's just like a bad night of Counterstrike--spawn, die quickly, and sit twiddling your thumbs while you wait to do it all over again.
I think part of this frustration comes from my <3 of the Metroid and Castlevania games. In those you can make mistakes and learn from them on the fly. The Mario games are just too punishing. I'm all for making games difficult, but if they are going to be that difficult, they need to minimize the down time. Make Mario respawn instantly rather than this retarded warp back out to the world map and slowly load the level back up shit. It just adds to the frustration!
In conclusion, I wish I could *Titor* my way back in time 20 years and post this review when it would have mattered. Oh well, I'll just count my blessings that that particular health system in videogames is effectively dead.

After dinner, turkey/cold coma. Wake up, and one of my wife's friends is sitting next to me, playing AC. I ask if she's having fun, and she paid off my mortgage. With her own character. And has moved in.
I feel strangely...attached to her now. I hope my wife doesn't make me kick her out. :(

I hosted a game just for fun, to look the map around. I was bored and shooted random object, then suddently someone comes from my back and shots me ... WTF, this is a lonly multiplayer game and some guy shoots me, is this a freaking ghost? I didn't realized that my server would show up somewhere in the internet.
Ironicly, this happened in fear, a scary game on it's own
