So, I just sat around all day. Then, I decided tonight that I would rip open my Xbox 360. In doing so, I found the right tools to do so in my basement. I took it all apart, and then I got the ingredients needed to make it work. I got some adhesive tape and an eraser. I cut some pieces of eraser, and taped them to the ram. It said it was overheating when I put it all back together, so I ripped it apart yet again. This time I cut smaller pieces and used less tape. I turned it on and I got the red rings, so I let it sit for about half of an hour. I turned it back up, but to no avail. I let it sit longer while my stepbrother played Ratchet and Clank. Then, after he finished I decided to try again. It worked! so I turned it off, added the hard drive and the side grates and turned it back on. I got the red ring, but I let it sit for a tad longer. I turned it back on, and it worked! I put in Kameo, and I started to play. It let me past the part it kept freezing at! It was working better than before! Now, I am surely glad that it is fixed, even though it might only be temporary. I am quite simply amazing!

Well, I have the next four days off, but I told them they could call me into work Wednesday or Thursday if they need me. I want them too, so I can have more hours. I really don’t know what I am going to do if they don’t call me in. I will probably work on something for my site. I can’t wait until I get my grill, that will be awesome. I still haven’t decided whether to get a cell phone or not. I really don’t think I will use it at all. So, it would be 20 dollars a month for something I am not going to use. Sounds lame! I’ll decide some other time. I also don’t think I will be hanging out much with anybody over the summer. It just doesn’t sound appealing to me. Unless, it’s girls, and most likely we will be hanging out with my brother too, so that means no action for me, since my brother is apparently better than me. :P If I do hang out with anyone, it will probably be Gianni or Toaster Strudel. I really don’t know. I do like to go out, but I think I would rather do it alone, or maybe with one person. All I really want is some love. xD.

The chances of me finding someone awesome that thinks I am awesome is slim to none. Especially here in New Jersey. There might be two people here that could get me to stay if I could leave. I think I would still go, though. It just depends. For now all I can tell you is that I’m obviously wasting me time. It needs to end. I just want to be happy.

You know what is funny? Some kid at work says I am wasting my life, and that this is the “Real World.” I’m gonna laugh when he learns the truth.

Four More Days!

June 25, 2007

As I await my Grill, I am sad. Final Fantasy XIII has been delayed. I’m not saying that I didn’t expect it, but it still isn’t cool. Oh, and family reunion this weekend. Expect some pictures. Work was alright. I need to do something productive sometime soon.

Even More Lame.

June 24, 2007

I decided, it was inevitable. I am going to rip open the Xbox after I get some more cash and tools, and take matters into my own hands. The warranty strip was already broken, and Microsoft wanted $140 dollars, anyway. (No thanks!) So, I will fix it myself, whether it be temporary or whatnot. I am gonna buy a new core after the new chips come out, and just enjoy the Grill Ps3 I am getting on Friday. I am sure I will like it more than the 360, anyway.

Tomorrow, my xbox 360 mysteriously works. Somehow, it gives me no problems at all, and Microsoft emails me telling me to send it in for free, and the website I bought it from gives me back my money, while gamestop emails me out of nowhere to exchange it for free. That’s what happens tomorrow. According to my watch Microsoft will allow me to send mine back after looking at Noah the Great dot com. Seeing my post about how sad I was, it brought a tear to Peter Moore’s eyes. Yeah, I know, it’s pretty amazing. It was a nice chat today. :) You owe me.

Lame.

June 22, 2007

I am still mad about my broken 360. I sent an email to Microsoft earlier today, and they still haven’t responded. Even more lame. Hopefully, Microsoft is nice and lets me replace my console.

Well, I believe my 360 is finally dead after all these years months weeks days. Well, first of all, I have to knock on the dvd drive to get it to open for me. It’s like a door to your fantasy. Well, not only that, but after I try to play a game, I get the dreaded error code 0102. It does turn on if I let it sit or take out the power cord and then put it back in. So, I filled out that warranty card and put it in the mailbox. Hopefully Microsoft accepts it. I can’t send the console back to the place I got it, because I threw away some of the pieces of plastic that some of the parts came in. Lame.

So, please, Microsoft answer my call. Or I will have to buy a core and attack my accessories to make it a premium. :( .

Damn it. Damn it all. I JUST WANTED TO PLAY BLUE DRAGON. ARGHDJGJDHFJHDFJKDFHD

Edit: It won’t work Vertically, it works Horizontally somewhat.

I will still send it in if I can.

Well, I went to bed rather early last night. I never got around to posting a blog. Nothing out of the ordinary happened today or yesterday. I worked 10-6:30 today, setting my alarm to 9AM unlike what I thought I had set it at. (8AM) So, I didn’t get to play with my trescientos sesenta. I totally rocked my shift. It went by rather fast which is always good. Tomorrow is payday and my day off. How wonderful! I will probably by something to cool my 360 down so it doesn’t overheat. Oh, we finally convinced my stepmom that me having a room in the basement would be a wonderful idea. So, whenever that happens I will be incredibly happy. Not only will I not have to worry about all of these electronics melting and/or overheating, I also won’t have to deal with it being hot all of the time. So, that’s great. I get my Ps3 in like a week and a few days. It’s $550 (60GB model) with a 2 year BBY warranty. So, I’m gonna be rocking the PSWII60, even though I never thought I would be so soon. I keep on wasting my money, but I might as well while I can. Soon, I am gonna have to pay for car insurance, so that’s a big chunk of my change. Maybe I will ask my ‘rents to take me to get a cellular tomorrow. I doubt they will say yes, as today would have been the optimal time to get one, but I was at work when my stepmom went to the mall. I don’t even really think I want one. It will just be nice when I want to do something.
I am looking forward to some games:

I’ve got a big gaming year ahead of me :) .

People have asked me why? She makes me happy. I’m cleaning my room. School ended today. I’ve been trying to clean my room for like 4 hours. It’s not working. It just keeps getting more messy. Anyway, I got my 360. It works and is awesome. Besides that, I am just chilling around pretty much. After I organize some of my stuff, I am gonna rewire all of my wires to make it less clumped and tangled.

This year is over. Next year. You will be mine.

I started working on a platformer engine for a flash game for my site. www.noahthegreat.com/Basic%20engine.swf. It’s nothing so far, but you have to start somewhere, I suppose. Space to jump and left and right to move.

Other than that, I worked 11:30 to 8 not 1:30 to Nine (That’s tuesday.)

My schedule is as follows:

Tuesday 6/19 1:30-9

Wednesday 6/20 10-6:30

Friday 6/22 4-9

Saturday 6/23 11-7

Tomorrow is my last day of school. I better get my 360, and if I do, I will make sweet love to it. I want to go out and get THP8 if my dad will take me to the mall of the Shore persuasion.

Other than that, I want to try to work on my flash skills I suppose. First I am gonna try to code it, then make it look pretty, so sorry if it’s ugly for a few years. Roffle.’

Things to do:
Scrolling of the levels
Death

Game over

Title Screen

Physics

Sweet graphics

You know.

Anyway, I plan on making a bunch of tiny flash games for the site so you kids have something to do.
:P

It’s also so I don’t lose interest too fast, so I might just work around.
