I am furious. I got Mass Effect in the mail today, after triumphantly beating Fire Emblem for the Wii. I was so eager to play Mass Effect, I rushed through my schoolwork to get to the sci-fi goodness. After my note-taking was out of the way, I ripped the plastic sealing off my copy of Mass Effect and put it in my console, marveling at the intro screen. I was in the middle of creating my Shepard's face when BAM!

I got a blue screen! On the 360! It wasn't the traditional PC Blue Screen, with fatal error exceptions and whatnot, but it was definitely a screen of a blue color, segmented into squares. After that, I couldn't get past the character select screen despite multiple tries, if I could get the console into the game at all.

I officially hate Microsoft now. I had to call for a coffin and that took about half an hour. The tech on the other side was not Indian, but rather Portuguese, it seemed. When I asked him where he was from, he claimed Pennsylvania. Hah!

I guess I have to play Crysis and Mario instead. Grr.
