R.I.P Dear Friend

Ok so nobody I know has died, let me just get that out of the way and make it perfectly clear :)

My Xbox 360 got the Red Ring Of Death just now, I am sad, it’s outlasted a lot of people’s consoles that I know. I got it in August 2006, and today 28 October 2007, it has died.

So I filled in a form thingy to get it fixed on the Microsoft website, which I’m guessing means it’ll take about 3-6 weeks to get sorted (so it should work for Christmas!!).

Anyway that’s all, thought I’d make a big deal out of it, because now I have nothing to distract me as much.

Games On My Laptop

October 28, 2007 — Joeb454

I saw Black and White 2 sitting in my room earlier, and check the back, because I’ve not played it in ages. I noticed the system requirements, and the fact the, except for not having a dedicated graphics card, my laptop was far above them.

So I decided to install it, thinking that if it doesn’t work I can always just uninstall it, no big deal.

It worked! It runs really smoothly as well, quicker than it ever did on my desktop PC. Although the graphics options are turned down to low. Other than that, all is good, so I’m just installing The Sims 2 (I installed Theme Park World as well, which is a great game, I love it). Also installed C&C Generals + Zero Hour, which ran on full graphics lol, but I removed them, because I won’t play it.
