HOLY FUCK A HURRICANE!
- September 17, 2008 - 7:03pm
We here in Loveland Ohio have just suffered our second hurricane in all of our citys history. It was just the scrap leftovers from Ike, but combined with a "cold front" (I think it was the koreans) it revved back up to be classifyed as a huricane. Our house had no power for 4 agonizing days. over 600000 people lost it, and were lucky theres still like 300000 more to go.I Photographed some of the damage and its crazy. You might be like "oh, u got hit by a hurricane, thats nothing what about new orleans and florida". FLORIDA AND NEW ORLEANS HAVE MEASURES THEY TAKE FOR THIS! THIS WAS THE 2ND HURRICANE EEEEVVVVEEEERRRR TO HIT LOVELAND. Obviously we were not prepared, and so we got hit hard.
This is been the most interesting week of my 16 year life. I went to my first Football game, It was the first time I hung out with just a girl, as friends and didn't have any like objectives, Finally got my com back and guess what IT GOT BOOSTED 500 GIGS! Made like 50 new friends, Made my first napalm ball, blew up my first lighter, got hit by my first hurricane, and in 2 days I'll have my first anniversery with my girlfriend, hopefully my first kiss, Amber will meet alot of my new friends for the first time, my first time comforting a girl who is not my sis because of some guy drama shit... I'm sure theres more but I can't remeber anymore off the top of my head. BTW this is in the span of like 3-4 days.
LOTTA SHIT HAS HAPPENED!
Well I'll be on more often now that I got School coms and a home com to use. AWESOME, LOVE YOU GUYS.

My HTML Testpad
- September 6, 2008 - 7:14pm
I made a site like a site like a year ago on geocities that I used as a sort of practical applications testpad for everything I learned in Web Design Class. I just recently remembered it as I just started into Web Design 2 and am now starting to do things on it again. It had a bit of everything, and it served mostly as a blog in functionallity, but the whole thing was built with no help from the ground up by good ol' me. I'm proud of it, and now I'm throwing some more gears into the workings. I'm making an achive for all the old blogs, thinking on making a area to show off a lot of my art. All kinds of stuff. Nothing quite on the level of NR, but for me its a big deal. Anyway If anyone wants to see it Its on my profile I think, but I'll show it here too. URL: www.geocities.com/zion_wingmaster
If you do for any reason even peak at it, sign the guest book. PLEASE!
Love u all,

Just need a quick place to put this so I can get it at my home com, as my emails not working right now. Thanks. Its most of what i've typed for Survivalism. Just need a way to transfer, but feel free to read it if you want. You wont get the second part though.
Survivalisms: The Story of Marcus Bueller.
The night is a dangerous time. It hides that which society denies exists. I've seen that which wanders the darkness. I've seen what is not supposed to exist. My name is Marcus Bueller. I've seen the dead rise to eat the bodies of the living. I've seen men turn to wolves and women drain a person of blood. I've seen what the darkness truly holds, in all it's horrific detail.
My knowledge is not the result of being in some super secret underground organization, nor am I a hunter of such beings. I am simply a magnet, if you will, for all creatures of this sort. I've always been that way, even as a kid. Although while this attraction seems to affect all that walk the night, I seem to be dominantly attractive to zombies. For something that isn't supposed to exist, I've seen an awful lot of them in my lifetime. I seem to always be in the midst of outbreaks. I have no idea of the exact number, mainly because of the fact that I stopped counting after the 12th one. Despite the obvious negatives of my situation, there are some bonuses. For starters, I'm not dead. I've learned from first hand experience how to keep myself and those around me (usually) from being eaten. My experience isn't the only thing working in my favor, however, as I'm unique in another extraordinary way. I don't like to brag, but I'm gigantic. At 9'7", I make Professional body builders look minuscule in comparison. I'd even make Arnold look like a pansy. By 14 I had been taller than most full-grown adults. I'm 500 lbs. of pure muscle and tendon. As I said, it's probably a large contributing factor as to why I'm still alive. The down side of it is that nothing fits. My clothes are made by a tailor dedicated to me, and works for no one else...because he doesn't have time to do anything else. The only restaurants I can eat at are ones that have a chair custom made for me, which as should be apparent are few in number. Even my house had to be custom built to my dimensions. Within the walls of this house is a great deal of furniture, all of which was hand built by myself. It was in one of those pieces, an overstuffed, oversized green recliner, which I sat when the package I had been waiting for arrived. In my most recent excursion with the undead, I was able to save a few people, and one of them contacted me after word and said that he had connections in the military and could get me a gun suited for my size. His name was Rochester Churchill. I was happy to accept as, in my previous escapades, I'd never had a weapon right of the start that I was familiar with. Rochester had told me that he believed that if I had had I decent weapon, then I might have been able to save his brother, who had died during one of the food raids early on. He promised that the weapon would be suited to me "unique capabilities". It was to arrive via armored convoy today with him driving the lead. Rochester and I had become good and loyal friends in the time since the outbreak, and we enjoyed each other’s company. A knock came from the front door, so I set down the knife I'd been polishing, and went to answer it. When I opened up the door Rochester was right there as expected with a big grin on his face. He had the look of a boxer that had just won the world championship. Rather, he would have if he had looked anything like a boxer. Rochester was a portly shorter-than-average guy with red hair.
"Hello, Marcus." He said, the giant grin never leaving his face. If I hadn't known him I'd of thought it was creepy.
"Hey Rochester, Come on in." As he entered I realized that there were 2 soldiers behind him carrying an enormous box between them.
"Can we put this here?" Rochester said, pointing to the carpet near the door.
"Sure, go ahead." Honestly I wanted to see what was inside so bad, he could have put it on 3000-dollar china and I wouldn't have care a bit. The two men set it down and stretched. It was apparently very heavy for them. That didn't surprise me as the box was more a steel briefcase than a box, and it was 6 feet long.
"Go ahead and open it, pal." Rochester looked as excited as I felt. I walked over to the case and kneeled down to unclip the clasps that held the top down. Inside was a weapon unlike anything I'd ever seen before, or ever even heard of. It was nearly 5 1/2 feet long, barrel to stock. The barrel had a wicked looking bayonet, or maybe blade would be better suited, mounted on it. It was serrated on one of the edges, and looked very much like an axe. The rest of the weapon was covered in holy symbols that were ornate and coated in silver. In the case was also an object that looked similar to a shell for a normal gun. By that I mean that it long, thin and brass covered, but that's as far as the similarities went. It was 5-7 inches long and resembled something a tank would expel rather than a rifle. I looked to Rochester to confirm that I could hold it.
"Go ahead, it's yours now anyway."
...Lots of skippage...
Chapter 2
I Stood up and backed away from Rochester. As worried as I was about him, I was more worried about the soldiers shooting us over a misunderstanding. My size wasn't paired up with bulletproof flesh, so I'm still quite vulnerable to a gunshot to the chest. When the soldiers reached my unconsious compainion and I they took no time in getting organized and splitting off into teams of two or three, and getting to work with there tasks. one pair ran off toward the center of the base, prusumably to get help... or more soldiers. Two others asessed the condition of Rochester and the soldier under him. Three more came my way. The one in the center seemed to be respected by the other two. He was likely the ranking soldier of the group. I saw one of the pair examining the downed two start to try to flip rochester off the soldier.
"Ey, Dun' do dat. 'E was in a car crash, 'e cou'd have a broken neck f'r allz ya know." I had decided to play up a bit of a accent, a horrible one, but my hope was that they would underestimate my intelligence. Some times the stereotype that all big people are dumb comes in handy. If they think I'm dumb, they won't think I'm clever enough to manipulate the situation.
"Who are you and why did you just drive a monster truck into one of my men?" He screamed. So I'd been right he was head honco of these guys. I had a feeling he was just being full of himself when he called the soldier 'one of my men', as I doubted he had any significant rank. I drew this from the simple fact that he was wearing the reguler desert camo uniform everyone else in the group wore. Marjor officers would be wearing much more decrotive uniforms. On the off chance I was wrong, however, I decided to play nice and not spook him to much. When he reached me, I immediatly realized I had failed that objective completely. Either he had misjudged my size from a distance or simply had not believed his eyes, he was plainly shocked by my size. When he spoke again he had dropped his I'm-such-a-badass tone and stammered a bit.
"I-I-I Asked y-you a que-question?" At this point I'd pretty much blown any chance of making this quick and easy. Still I wanted to try one more thing. I had been in the military for a term and had even been made lieutenant. I doubted that mattered now, but I figured Id try it anyway.
"Lt. Marcus Bueller, Sir!" I said all military-like. The guy almost fell over in shock. He Quickly recovered and Saluted me.
"Sorry, Sir,I had no idea. If I had know you were 'THE' Marcus bueller, I-I, I'm sorry sir." He said with blatent awe. Now it was my turn to be shocked.
"What do you mean by 'The' Marcus Bueller?"
"Your a big deal around here. We've all heard the stories of your survival skills. You've got a lot of fans 'round here. Two or Three are totally obsessed." He pause for a second. "Well, If your are who you say you are, and judging by your apperance, you are, then this must be Churchill." He said pointing toward Rochester.

I was so happy when I got an email saying that the legendary Rooster Teeth had finally released the first episode of RvB: Reconstruction. They got it of the Rooster Teeth Site for all to see now. It looks like there going back to Halo 2 for more blood gulch. At least thats my guess from the ending. I haven't kept up on any info on the story cause I wanted to be surprised, so It's all just speculation, but I do think that the old cast will at least be in it for a short period, maybe permanently. They said Its going to be released on Mondays I think. I can't wait.

Me and Avery(mostly me) ,on an Idea from my lovely and wonderful girlfriend, have started to push even harder on the Crosseye Comics project. Were turnin' this shit into cash. It started with Shirts, more as a quick boost in upstart money, then we run the comics, and Avery even wants to do foam visors (don't ask why, HE doesn't even know why). I ran the base production costs for us if we do it all production ourselves. They follow something like this.
White T-Shirts 5/$3= .60 DPU
Transfer Paper 25/$25 = 1 DPU (Less if we buy them in bulk but for now we wanna make sure it'll go somewhere.)
Ink Cartridges 1 set/$15/~100(minimum) prints = .15 DPU
The actual transfer is free cause were just using an Iron.
So the total comes to 1.75 DPU, were were planning to sell at $7 each. That's a lot of profit for us. From there we move to Comics. Were printing 2 issues of Kamikaze Overdrive, each with 20 copies to start. We also have the brand new cameo-filled comic "There is No Title" or TINT for short. Theres also 2 issues of that with 20 copies each. Both comics will average at about 26 pgs per issue, give or take a few. I cant do any figures on that cause I dunno how many pages an ink cartridge can put out, and the paper is free as we have like 40 billion lbs of it in my garage.
As for the hats I simply have no idea. Haven't gotten that far yet.
Were gunna run it by our principal and such to see if we can sell it in the school if we give like 10% to the charity thing we have at the school. If we can, this shit will peak interest as right now it's not actually producing anything so the few in the CEC arnt really dedicated, but we start throwing money at them and they'll be eager to join in and help, and our group will grow and produce more and from there my only worry is the legal area like Copyright and Taxes. I'm very conscious about the need for legal action in the sense of copyrights and licenses, and is we get anywhere I'd like to turn us into a corporation. Right now me and Avery are running our ambitions on the fact that Dark Horse comics was started by people our age, so it is possible. For me though, I'm seeing that I need a job, and if I can get this off the ground It would be my dream job. As much as I love coding and such, I've gotten such a rush of enjoyment from pushing this more and more into reality. I enjoy doing all this, creating something, breaking the expectations of those who look at us and say "That's not gunna happen". Besides If this is my job, the only person I have to take orders from is Avery, and we are more equals than anything.
My only worry at this stage is what happens if no one likes it, or the more likely happening, what if we can't have it in the school. Our stuff is kind of inappropriate for school. I dunno where we would go to sell our stuff if we don't have the school. I'm not trying a store on my damn porch, since that never works, plus I'm in a culdasac. I'm not old enough to take a loan for a building, and that's an insanely far out there idea as it is. I can't even make a halfway decent site to sell on.
So in this hour, I ask for your help. I need to see if our stuff is liked, and anyone, ANYONE, with any sort of experience or knowledge of this gimme a few pointers. Help me out. Spot and the rest of the NR Team as well, you guys really have experience making ideas come together, so I'd love some advice from the geniuses behind all this.
Also anyone who has any clue how I can get some starter cash, please tell me. I got $15 on me. That shit aint gunna cut it. I thought about investing in some stock, as my frined has some right now and he's making quit e a bit, but with the possible ressetion on hand, I figured that was a bad Idea.
To anyone who has actually read this all the way through, I thank you for caring, or being bored. Any help in any fashion would be appreciated.
I Want In, But the Doors Locked
- May 7, 2008 - 4:05pm
I just saw the Join the team thing under the message center and I got curious and took a look. I got excited cause I thought there might have been a way to get farther into this deal that I think Is going to be huge, but as I sort of expected, there was nothing I could do. I'm 16 and while I have a great deal deeper knowledge than anyone in my grade or below, at least in our district, I still have a very small base of knowledge compared to what everyone above me has. I'm doing everything I can to boost what I know, and I love doing this, but I'm still not anywhere near where I can do anything to help NR. At this point I'd do anything to get in. I want to learn everything I can so I'll eventually be able to do something to help. To do some more I think I'll work on those templates for now, as I've been lacking in that area. Well, I'll see what happens, and learn what I can.

Got a new addition to Crosseye Comics. I Just put up Survivalism: The Story of Marcus Bueller on deviant art. It's the first literature based submission we have and the one up is only part one, It's intended to be a full book. The story is the history of one of the characters in the world of Beltane which is another project started by Avery, called Beltane. Actually that Title I believe is being changed to a different one but I can't remember it off the top of my head. Anyway, check it out if you want and tell us what you think. It's at the same place: crosseyecomics.deviantart.com
Other than that It's been business as usual except for me getting bronchitis and my sister breaking her ankle. She was at a skating rink and went to go talk to someone and a girl that has already been banned from our house twice for things like death threats to my sister, pulled my sister backward and my sises leg got smashed under her and her ankle got crunched. It's gonna be like 15 weeks before shes back to normal , so she's not gunna be doing much this summer. As an added bonus for me, I get to wait on her hand and foot. This is not gunna be fun.
Well thanks for caring, and farewell dear associates.

The leetness of K.Overdrive is finally for all to be seen. This is not me saying we got 3&4 up, but the FINAL (or at least really close to final) editions of K.Overdrive are up. There on Our prezes account, 9MR-SELF-DESTRUCT, for some advert time and then will be transferred to the main CEC account. I've almost got the legal code written out, and once I finish that. I'll be putting that up all over. Anyway anyone who wants to see the final (or so) editions of book 1 and i think maybe 2 go to 9Mr-self-destruct.deviantart.com. Also anyone, be it amateur or pro, that can help build a half way decent looking site for CEC, gimme a holla, cause we need one. You pretty much be on your own cause we have a lot to worry about right now so any images might take some time to do, but well get them. I'll tell ya what exactly we need if you message me. BTW, as of right now, we can't pay anyone much for anything, so any help would be volunteer work.
Ya, know for a 16 year old freshman in highschool, I sure as hell done a lot more than most of the peeps in my class. Hurah for me.

One of my friends just told me that we only have 47 days of school left. They're all happy and excited and want break to come, but I only look upon that day with pure loathing. I have no problem with school ending, or the loads of free time. I like that part. The one damning factor is that my girlfriend will likely be moving even farther away then before. She already lives 45 min away, but she be more like 2 hours away. I don't get to see he much as it is since its 45 min both ways twice to do something with her, and you make that 45 min into 2 hours, it won't matter how much I love her, I likely will never actually SEE her again. We've gone nearly 6 months with only a few times where I see her a month, but I still talk to her every day via phone calls. Even so, take those few times away and I don't know how long she would hold on. I'm in this for good. Don't know if it's exactly healthy to be 16 and be that obsessed with a girl, but healthy or not that's the way it is. Only way it's ending is if she calls it off. When I got into this I intended to be with her till I at least graduated, and by then I'd have a car so I could still see her frequently during college. I've got my whole heart and soul into this and I'm not backing down. I've fought through my parents, her parents, her moving away, her being away for months at a time, court with her dad, and 7 other kinds of hell to be with her, but I will not let go. She's been with me through a lot as well. She was there when my best friend almost went to jail, she was there when my uncle died, she was there on my birthday, she was even there for Christmas instead of spending it with her family, she spent it with mine. Even so, even with all we've been through, if she moves another hour 15min away, even my level of devotion will not sustain it. I really hate the summer.

Lots of work got done over Spring Break on a couple of projects. Namely, Crosseye Comics. We got an Application Form for all who want to join up, since we've tryed things like this before, and the main flaw was always getting a lot of people who weren't serious about it. The Form require work to fill out and so it weeds out the really low area of people who are just bored. Were part way though making a full document detailing what it actually means to be in the company too. We got a main Idea of what it will entail.
Also we still need another techy to help us build a site for the Company.
2ndly, I finally started building the database for all the movies I own, so I can stop rebuying movies. I've only done 2 sections and I'm at 130 movies. I got 6-7 more sections and then all the stuff on top. You can see a picture of my library as of a few months ago on my profile, and you'll see just what I mean. So I got a good amount of work done even with time spent on games, and buying out the stock of a closing Hollywood Video. Nearly $1500 worth of stuff for $70. It kicked ass. My bud got 20000 Microsoft points for $10. That owns.
Update:
Until we get someone on making a site for the company, I'm going to use the Yahoo space as an application area. If you want to apply for a spot, go to http://www.geocities.com/crosseyecomics/ and fill out the form.

Me and Avery have Now officially named our company Cross Eye Comics, with him as Prez and me as Vice. We have a few entrants already who wanna sign on to the group, and were still looking for more who can do Art, comics or even just make funny jokes. I'll be drafting a "contract" of what It actually means to join, but essentially It will be that you submit any work you want to be added to to the company Portfolio to Us ( me and Avery are so far the only ones on the Admittance board, and he makes all final decisions) and if it's in line with the style were trying to get, well accept in, credit it to you, and if this go so far as to be profitable, paid for your submission, depending on how we can use it. Under the Crosseye name we have a few works in progress, such as Beltane, Kamikaze Overdrive, and a smaller comic series "Sean and Connery". Sean Connery is like our mascot. We have yet to figure out why. If anyone would to see some of your work I can show it to you. It must be realized that we are both fressies in highschool so as far as I know We can't actually do this all offically Persay. Regardless we've been working on this for 5 or so years now ( yes since I was like 11) and were hellbent on making something of this. So we need people to help. Also We need someone to create a site for us, so our work can be accessed and viewed and such. I can put money into if needed, but our budget is extraordinarily small, as I'm the only one with a job. Anyone who would like to join, just send me a message here or Email me, preferably with an example of your work (not looking for anything fancy, I mean Kamakazie is drawn in stick form, it just needs to be entertaining.)
Thx all, and I hope to hear from you.
PS. Anyone Who would like to view some of Avery's work(though He specializes in Guns and randomness) go to
http://9mr-self-destruct.deviantart.com/
PS. To Napalm Riot: I apologize if this would be considered soliciting, but as it's not spam or nothing I figured there was no reason I couldn't put this up here as it is a blog entry about my life. If I'm in error, please just inform me and I will correct the situation. I love you guys and would hate to piss you off.

Ok, to start this one off I'd like to note that this past week or two have been interesting to say the least.
Lets start with the good news. I got to see my Girlfriend twice ( which is more than the last like 2 months combined) and I got a job working for my Uncle and my dad ( tax-free, W00T!) doing Plumbing and Electric. I get 10 bucks an hour(again, W00T!) So ya that's the good news.
The Bad news kind of over shadows everything. My Uncle Michal just died. He died 20 min before valentine's day so obviously my V-day was shot. My Uncle, though we didn't have a really strong relationship, and by that I mean we didn't really do much together, but he was a big big influence in my life. He's a programmer and as a kid I Idolized him and wanted to BE him. Everyone came to him for help, he had like EVERY games console ever and every game. What I learned as I got older is he was also single, rarely left his house, and refused to ever go to the doctors for any reason( he thought he had a small heart attack once and even then refused to go.) and the like. Even so he was the one who got me into the whole programming area. He was also the only one at Christmas who gave me what I had asked for. It was usuly something big. I got my DS from him at least 20 games and Rock band and Guitar hero 3( the last 2 were this year and he got me BOTH!) and that just what I Remember off the top of my head. He also was the only relative that kept in good contact with my mom so she's not exactly taking it well. He was the uncle on my mom's side if I haven't said that already. The funeral's Tuesday so that will be eventful.
Also I'd like to throw out that as an added bonus to the bullshit of the month, I just learned my best friend has been expelled from school.
That topped with the fact that my Girlfriend lives like an hour away, and all the things mentioned in the last post I made make this month likely the most chaotic and stressful month of my short life so far.
What's worse is I'm positive it's only going to get worse from here.

Ya, So I'm uploading a new avi. Sounds mundane enough.
But this ones special to me. The creator of my favorite flash cartoons made it for meh. His name (well his online name) is Battosai810.
He has a great series full of casual randomness and WTFs. You can check him out on DeviantArt or on Newgrounds at
http://battosai810.newgrounds.com/
Anyway the Avi is SRM, one of his characters, punting a baby. It rules.
Check out his stuff, It's awesome.
Not good, Not good at all.

My whole circle of friends is going down the shithole. My best friend Schmiegal is having one hell of a time. His dad needs surgery or he's going to die, he lost his girlfriend, and he just got suspended for 2 weeks for having a knife with him at school. Don't take that last part the wrong way. He's had that same knife with him for 4 years. When he was younger Some of the other kids would beat the piss out of him. This is before I knew him, so I couldn't come to his aid, so Eventually he got a knife and put a nice gash is one of them OFF OF SCHOOL GROUNDS and he was being senselessly beaten at the time, so no one was getting him in trouble for that. After that He always kept it with him. now 4 years later some jack off rats him out and the police search him and he's suspended. It didn't help his pissed off girlfriend was questioned about his intents for the weapon. Oh right did I mention he may be suicidal. I've tried what I can and I'm heading to his house tommarow to talk with him, but if he does something stupid tonight.......
Other than that MY girlfriends mom needs surgery or she may die, and if that happens Amber gets turned over to her abusive dad. Oh, and Did i mention she had to move into downtown Cincinnati and go to school there. It's Ironic, the one person who wants a good education and wants to be in Loveland schools for that reason, is the only one in the school who gets taken away from that. Oh and her mom refuses to let her have a job or her temps. Plus in the summer she's moving even farther away from me, not that that's going to stop me. I love her, and unless she move to somewhere like Kansas, I'm not letting go.
And thats only the tip of the Iceberg. Man, this ain't good.

So, the semester ended and now its time to change classes... Ok, so that was like a week or 2 ago. I'm really liking my new teachers, whats odd is last semester I had all Male teacher and this one I have all Female teachers. My first class, history, has a very opinionated teacher and shes usuly only teaches seniors so she has little patience and can come off as a ... well a bitch. She's actually really cool. She did this the second day. She had everyone write down ! thing no one else in the room knew about you, you didn't sign it or anything and she collected them. Only using her head she figured out who wrote what with every single card. Pretty nifty.
My second bell is Geometry, and the teacher is like, too nice. She scares me shes so nice and happy. Plus shes just general weird.
Block 3/4 I got Biology and that is interesting and that teachers just kinda plain, unless someone falls asleep. she will actually stop class to pull some prank on the kid sleeping, so they won't ever do it again. last semester she stopped class and rearranged all the desks around the kid so everyone was staring at him and then smacked the desk with a meter stick, and scared the crap out of him then he saw all the kid around him and let out a few more foul words. He didn't fall asleep in there again.
Last bell is English and the teacher is fun as hell. When she talks normal she goes 90 miles an hour, but she showed us just how fast she could talk and I was stunned. She must have fit like a 2 page paper into about 10 seconds of talking. It was ridicules.
Unfortunately I have no Computer classes so Getting on here will be restricted to home only.
Sigh, Oh well.

I just read the new features for Super Smash Bros Brawl. I saw in my reading that you can play Sonic the Hedgehog. I was excited about Wario, but now with Sonic, I may have to buy a Wii just for that game. Not like I haven't done so before. I bought my GC just for LoZ and haven't used it for much else. This one will just be a little more expensive.
That Works
- January 8, 2008 - 2:34am
We fixed the problem, but not how you'd think. We got pissed and just went out and got another one. We just got a new hard drive too to boot so it works.

The power in my school just went out for like 5 min. Every one freaked cause its only the second time in like forever.
We all hoped we could go home but of course the lights came back on and we all had to start doing stuff again. Would have been sweet if we went home because after today we have break till like the 3rd of next year. Oh well.
My B-Days cursed.

Ok, on my birthday, which is the 26 of December, yes, the day after Christmas, I have by this point received, Guitar hero 3 and Rockband (from the same person), but on that day, I also got THE RED RING OF DEATH! Ya, my Xbox died on my birthday, and the day I get Rockband and GH3. TO MAKE THINGS WORSE, my warranty stopped on CHRISTMAS, the day before it broke.
Guess Microsoft's getting good at predicting when its gonna break. Basically we said F*** it and are trying to fixing it our selves. We figured it out that its likely the heat sink, cause the heat sink gel is completely screwed. Gonna get new gel tomorrow.
