Not the RRoD, surprisingly. Nope. Appearently (according to the response to a thread I made on the forums), my whole graphics processor has died (dude came to this conclusion based on the fact that I told him that 360 doesn't show video anymore. I was hoping it was just the video cables, but I guess not). Luckily, it's been less than a year since I bought it, so it's under warrenty. Unluckily, the local postal services are on strike, or something to that effect, so I can't send it out.

This sucks a big one. It's close to Christmas, and I'm getting a PS3, most likely, so at least I won't be shut out from the current gen entirely...for too long.

Being that some of you are lazy, or just don't like reading, how would you guys fancy an audio version of TAL (and Reality's Fangs too, if you're into that). It seems like a fun thing to do, and I could lace it with a subliminal message to give me money (okay, that last part's only for a specific copy of the file that I'll distribute to people who suck). What do you guys think? Cool? Not? Wanna hear it? Wanna not? Lemme know, so I can get started if there's enough support.

Later y'all!

P.S. Yes, I'm that bored...and I'm trying to avoid my homework.

So as I went to turn on my 360, intent on playing Tales of Vesperia from the HDD, I came across something interesting. I hit the power button, and to my surprise, an eerie, red glow caught my eye. At first, I thought Well...****, but then I realized that it was just one quadrant of the ring*, indicating a simple system error (the note on the tv helped, too). Should I risk turning it back on? I thought. Hell yeah! So I did. And it was fine

I've had my 360 for almost a year, now (got it for Christmas), so the random error could be due to age, like any other electronics. However, it could be due to the NXE. I doubt it, though, as Ive had the NXE for a week or so (beta, yay!), with no problems, aside from a random crash, that I've always experienced. What do you guys think? Circumstantial evidence with no bearing, or the beginning of a widespread panic?

On the other hand, I'm getting a PS3 for Christmas, assuming no shortages magically appear, and no financial problems arise, so I'll probably be good if my 360 decided to red-ring as a gift. PS3 game recommendations would be nice.

Also, I've been playing more Persona 3, lately (which explains the lack of writing. Ive got chapter 1 done, and half of chapter 2 done *glare*), and the game hates me. I've been using Misfit's guide to help me with the Tartarus battles, but those stupid Ice Magician...things on floor 90-something are pissing me off!  Koromaru doesn't help, Junpei dies, Mitsuru's healing ability sucks, and the only Persona I have, that can defend against ice (with me, anyway), is Jack Frost. T_T Maybe Ill just go back to Junpei, Yukari, and Aigis, for my team. Did better with them anyway, though Junpei doesn't seem to learn that fire is the enemy's weakness, even after I use it and set him to Knock Down. Damn you! 

As for where I am in the story, I just finished whatever Full Moon was the one with the tank (so easy ^_^).

That's about it, I'll see y'all next time! Laterz!

P.S. I'm really undecisive, so when I do have a PS3, picking which version of multiplatform-games, I'll get, will suck. I think my guidelines will be:

• 1. If it has multiplayer, and a bunch of my friends are getting it, go 360
• 2. If it's single player-only, friends are getting it, and/or the achievements are easy, I'll go 360.
• 3. If it's single-player only, and either friends aren't getting it, or the achievements are hard, I'll go PS3.
• 4. If it's got multiplayer, but friends aren't getting it, go 360 or PS3, depending on the difficulty of the achievements.
• 5. Exclusive DLC/content overrides the previous rules, except when friends are getting it, and the game has multiplayer.
