The Yellow Light of Death (YLOD) is a sword through the heart of PS3 owners. Our system recently fell victim to this problem. Hence why I am here writing this right now. It happens probably while your playing a game. It simply shuts down. When restarted, the familiar red light comes on. You hit the power button, and your favorite light, the green one, comes on. You let a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, a yellow light flashes, the system beeps, and it turns off, leaving the red light to blink repeatedly. Try and try as you might, the process repeats itself. The truth is, your done. You need to get a new one or have yours repaired.

YLOD most commonly occurs in the older 60G models. No one knows for certain what this problem is. But it IS an overheating problem. The truth is, its actually fried something. Whether it burned itself to death, or cooked some dust, I don't know. But I am inclined to believe the latter.

YLOD will wipe out EVERYTHING that you had saved on your console. Music, pictures, and yes, even your saved games. Also, if you have it repaired, ALL game and system updates must be re-downloaded.

There is a tiny, miniscule bit of good news: Your online buddies won't be deleted, and neither will your trophies or your bought downloaded content (you'll still have to re-download that, however).

It @#$%! bombs, man. But, what else are you going to do? Buy an Xbox360? XD Please, I'm not that desperate.

I am sorry for anyone else who has recieved YLOD. And good luck to those you haven't.

OK, so a few people read my previous blog. Cool. I guess I have few fans. Well... Got back from Virginia last week, had a blast except for one thing. NO INTERNET CONNECTION!!! Was going through Warhawk withdrawal!! Thats fine, because now I'm back and blowing things up again. My book is beginning to go smoothly again, I hope to be done it soon. Have fun everyone!!

Well, If someone actually reads this, I am surprised. I didn't think you cared

Anyway, I decided to give this blog thing a shot, mainly because I am bored out of my mind right now.

First of all, what exactly do you do in a blog? Write about yourself? OK. I'll give it a shot. I am an author in progress, I just finished a six week course for Science Fiction and Fantasy Writing. No credits for it; it was only a workshop. I am nearing the end of my first novel, but I hit a bump, and havent been writing. This will be hampered further by the fact I am going on vacation to VA for a week.

Favorite games? Warhawk and Guitar Hero World Tour, but I love free-roaming RPGs, so Oblivion is one of the best games ever made. Also cant wait for Dragon Age: Origins.

If someone actually read this, give me a shout (somehow). That way I know that I didnt just waste my time.
