Cook an Egg on a Xbox 360!

I was in a bit of pain watching this. Quite a mess.

Holy crap, I guess people weren't exaggerating about the heat a 360 can put out.  Didn't Microsoft recently extend their warranty on the faulty 360s though?  I might be wrong, but if I'm not that guy just ruined his chance at getting it fixed or getting a new one.

How funny.  I haven't had any problems with my system, but I tell you... that kind of shit makes me want to buy one of those aftermarket things with all the fans and junk.

Yeah, I remember MS actually recalled a few systems, and anyone who had one of the faulty systems could exchange it with a new one. Que's system would have to be a good one; the only ones affected were the among the first batch of 360's to be sold.

Hehe I'm thinkin' "Dude if you wanna get rid of a 360, just give it to me!"

There was an article on digg a while ago that theorized that these add ons were probably doing more harm than good.  I'll see if I can dfind it.

Um Que, you wanna take this one? :P

Hehe actually I couldn't care less because I quit consoles altogether.. At least until I get back home and chill out with my brother. Then we'll get some action gaming goin' on. Even then I imagine we'll be doing a lot more LAN gaming than console gaming.

Dead Rising is awesome.  Kameo is pretty cool.  Dead or Alive 4 is a great fighter.  That's all I own now, so I can't say much more, but you can damn well bet that I'm picking up Gears of War on the 7th.  And there's an awful lot of good-looking stuff in the pipeline for the near future.  I'm still not its biggest fan or anything, but I think there'll be some more good shit soon.
