Faulty Xbox's no more!

Gamestation and Game have only now decided to stop selling older models of the Xbox. The core unit, arcade and 20gb models had a high failure rate. They will still be selling what they have in stock but won't be selling any pre-owned ones. I now have the Limited edition Halo: Reach console, I bought this after my fourth Xbox broke down with the red ring of death. The last Xbox to have died should have gotten fixed with Microsoft but they suck. The rrod appeared a week before my warranty run out, I arranged with them to come pick it up so I packed it ready and on the day it was supposed to get picked up nothing happened.. Then the warranty run out and I was sad. But now the new Halo Xbox is doing well. The likely-hood of the newer models getting the rrod has been majorly reduced.. Since the fans are on the side it is able to breathe a lot easier and if it starts to get hot it will show a red dot and then shut itself down.

Sorry for the short post today, i've been busy again with uni preparation and I've also been helping my friend revise for his university test. I've gone over his notes so much that i've learnt about materials and manufacturing in Product Design..

Have you guys ever had that horrible feeling of your Xbox slowly giving in to rrod?

Indoor barbecues = Bad idea

So last night me and my friends kinda had a house warming party in my new house. We were going to go to the beach and have a barbecue but we couldn't be arsed in the end and thought it'd be a great idea to have a barbecue on the window sill.. We were all drunk and totally forgot about the sausages all the time. The room was full of smoke the whole night, we cooked 22 sausages and only 3 were edible. Oh and the smoke alarm went off like 3 times.. We could hardly see each other in the end. Anyways it was a good night all in all. But If you ever think of having a barbecue in a room..indoors.. then don't.

In other news, I bought Halo: Reach back so I now have all the Halo's. Me and me friend are going to have a Halothon. Halo: Reach through to Halo: ODST. Bring it Covenant and flood..

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary

Halo: CE was released ten years ago, so as an anniversary gift to all Halo fans Bungie/Microsoft have took the original Halo and updated. Keeping the same story but making the graphics better, adding multiplayer co-op and general multiplayer. This all sounding really awesome there's one thing that's annoying me about this remake... They're going to use the Halo: Reach gameplay, y'know the one with armour abilities and assassination animations. The only reason this is getting in the way of my excitement is that it's just not as good as Halo: 3 gameplay. The shield recharge on Reach just doesn't work, you can be shooting a guy for ages and melee him and he wont die. He melees you twice and you die.. If this was in Halo: 3 then he wouldn't died in the first place. That might not make any sense to some of you and for that I apologize.. Here's the trailer.
