Granted, but they fly you off a cliff.
I wish for a way to get back up from the cliff.

Granted, but your computer breaks.
I wish for a momentary push button.

Chex Quest was a scary game. The first FPS I'd ever played. Open'd the door and there was a freaking alien about to get me. Pull the plug out of my computer and didn't touch if for about a week... :'(

Forum arguments make me mad. We get this notion in our head that we can change the world by debating people through text, where it then falls on blind eyes. There is maybe a 5% chance they'll change their mind, but 95% of the time, no matter how much evidence you put in front of them, they'll stay the same. But I can sympathize. Who is going to listen to some stranger, most like under the age of 18 and probably 100s if not 1000s of miles away. For all you know, they could be making up the "evidence". Unless it's about something that can easily be proved and backed up by something the person will understand (Like a math problem, computer software, or grammer), it shouldn't be debated (As in political views, conspiracy theories, origins of life, etc.). I'm totally for standing up for what you believe in, but doing this over the internet is just stupid.

Sorry for the bump
Never do the towel trick. It may work for a short time, but it will eventually RRoD in most cases. Plus, it increases your chance of it not being able to fix. Try doing the X-Clamp fix first. If that doesn't work, then you can take a heat gun and try to re-flow the solder in the GPU, but that is a low-medium success rate.
It's because they didn't have crappy thermal compound on the GPU/CPU. But now all xboxs come with better thermal compound so they rarely RRoD. If you have to buy a new one, buy an arcade.
Towel trick works, I've had friends do it.

Get an Elite
Mine has yet to overheat... Or even come close to

So far, there has been little helpful advice in this topic. If it's 4 rings, plug in your AV cable. If it's 3 rings, hold the sync button and hit the eject button. The ring will have either 1,2,3, or 4 lights lit up. 4=0, 1=1, 2=2, 3=3. Hit the eject button 4 times and you get a 4 digit code. That code is the error code. Look it up here (Scroll down a bit). Now depending on the code, you might be able to fix it. I bought my friend's RRoD'd xbox and got the error code 0102. This means that the thermal compound on the GPU and CPU isn't doing it's job (Microsoft got better thermal compound with the new ones). If you have a warranty, you could try sending it in. If not, it's very easy to fix. Follow the instructions here to open your xbox and here to fix the red ring.

Not really.
I hate people that destroy nature just to destroy it, but I hate people that won't even let you walk into an area because they're too protective.

I hate how people destroy perfectly good fields and such to build things. But worse than that I hate people that are way too over protective of those fields and won't let anyone do anything with them.

I doodle all the time on everything. If you were to look back at almost any school assignment I've done since first grade, around the whole border of the page are my doodles. I hate it because teachers don't take me seriously and just think I'm messing around. I actually learn better when I'm doodling than when I take notes.

« on: October 31, 2009, 03:39:57 PM »I guess, but it is more of the fact that she's bitching about it rather than apologizing.
That is a legit reason to be mad. Kinda like how my bro took my copy of ODST and got recon before me. Instead of saying sorry, he came up with a list of excuses why he deserved to take it and it's not his fault he's better at it than me. I wouldn't have cared if he had ask if he could barrow it and do it, but the fact that he didn't even ask ticked me off.

I thought it was a meme, like in this picture.
It became a meme due to the movie being epic. You should watch it.
