God Smote My X-Box
01.15.07Well, at least my mother will deem this happy news. I on the other hand was rather distraught when I tried to play my X-Box today and it refused to read any of my discs. Blast!
So I had to earn my keep and call every available help line…and make things so much harder than they had to be. Worst part is…the very first place I turned to could have helped me…but I asked the wrong question. God bless Best Buy and all that they stand for.
But just for fun I’ll tell you all how I handled this crisis. First, I drove my poor sick Box over to Best Buy and asked if the Geek Squad made repairs to 360’s….I was turned away. So I drove back to my bachelor pad and called up the X Box people and got to speak with Luis….now, Luis here was either based out of Puerto Rico, or just had the thickest accent I have ever encountered. On top of that it was a bad phone connection…so I have my suspicions that I was calling Microsoft’s PR division. Anywho, Luis helps me through a few troublehooting steps(and of course they’re the intelligence insulting ones) that don’t help a thing and end up only burning time. So here I am thinking the only option I have is to mail my console to Microsoft and have them fix it for me. That process would take up to 10 days so of course I’m not too thrilled about it. 10 without the 360?!?! ARE YOU MAD!?!? BUT I JUST BOUGHT LOST PLANET!! NOOOOOOOOOoooooooo! *sob gasp sob* But enough with the melodramatiks, let’s get down to brass tax. HAHAH…thats such a cheesy phrase, but I like it cuz Jim Carrey used it this one time and I thought it was hilarious…and uh..I totally forgot what I was talking about here. Stupid ADHD…*slams a bottle of Prozak*
Um….so back to the main reason I wrote this post. I called Best Buy and asked what I could do if I was outside mmy 30 day window, and he said I’m still eligible for exchange. WoOt!!!! I’m back in the game, baby!
Yah, yah, call me a gamer geek, or whatever else you haters got lined up…I can take it….”at least I got chicken.”
Dag! If you don't get it then noone
I bricked my PS3 last week. Currently it’s somewhere between Paradise and Hell awaiting a new one.

HAHAHA! From what I hear Chad, you could never fully grasp the entire concept of the game and instead of really doing stuff, you just ran around shooting deer with a bow and arrow. Good job there, Nuge!!!

LOL!
Funny thing is most people don’t know I led troops in combat, so killing a bit of pixels on the screen can be shocking sometimes.
