Ramblings about crap in my life.
Ring of Death – Day 1
My Xbox 360 is busted, it just started off as freezes once in a while, but now I get the dreaded Ring of Death when I try to turn it on. So, today my experience with Microsofts’ Customer Support started, it’ll hopefully be a quick and smooth ride. Apparently this is what happens when you need to return your Xbox 360 for repair:
Microsoft either sends or e-mails you a bunch of labels (I chose to get mine e-mailed, still waiting for it).
Then you pack your console in a box (just the console, no wires, no harddisk, yay for keeping settings and savegames) and tape the labels on it.
You’ll also receive a phone number for UPS, you call them and set a date for them to come and get the console.
15 work days after they pick it up, you’ll receive your console again, if you haven’t received it you can call the Customer Support again to whine… and stuff.

Left 4 Dead Versus Gameplay Tips
about 1 year ago - 4 comments
I’m highly addicted to Valve’s latest hit, Left 4 Dead, but instead of writing what I think about the game, I thought about describing some things me and my friends have found to work out very nice when playing Versus. This is directed towards the No Mercy campaign, since I haven’t played Blood Harvest much.

My Xbox has been fixed

… or replaced, hopefully the last.
This is kind of surprising, I sent it a week ago and it’s already done now. I hope this is a sign that they just replaced it with a new model. Either way, I don’t care, now I’ll have something to do in my christmas holiday anyway!

I haven’t played Xbox very much in a while, but now Fallout 3 and Mirror’s Edge are finally out. Today when I turned on my Xbox this is what happened:
I JUST BOUGHT MIRROR’S EDGE YESTERDAY FOR FUCKS SAKE! This is the second fucking time this noisy piece of shit breaks down on me. Fuck! FUUUUUCK!
CoD: World at War Beta

Because I’ve been playing an extreme amount of Call of Duty 4, online, Activision has decided to let me into the multiplayer beta of the sequel, Call of Duty: World at War (WaW). Yay for respecting your geeky customers! Anyway, I love the multiplayer of CoD 4, at the moment I’ve played more than 30 More >
An afternoon with Rock Band
about 2 years ago - No comments
Yesterday, while under influence of considerable amounts of alcohol, me and my roommate, Mikkel, decided that Rock Band was just the thing we needed. Oddly enough we felt the same when we woke up this morning, so we drove to the nearest Fona. I thought the price of the game and the instruments was around More >

Apparently I’ve earned 11.000,- for my vacation ("feriepenge"), and I actually thought I was gonna be in debt after finishing my stay at the European Film College, so I’ve bought some stuff these past weeks.

Xbox 360 becomes more awesome
about 2 years ago - 7 comments
With the recent fall update of Xbox 360, Microsoft introduced a series of new features. I haven't really gone in to depth with checking them out, except for two. The first one is Xbox Originals, a service that let's you download original Xbox games for the console, they cost 1,200 Microsoft Points, which is around More >

We're seven guys at the school who play a lot of Guitar Hero 2, so we split the price of the third one and it arrived today! We're currently unlocking all the songs in Career Coop, and we've managed to get most of them on hard so far. The songs are awesome as well, More >

Thanks, but it’s okay, I had to send it in at some point anyway because I got weird ‘Disc Unreadable’ errors once in a while.

That sucks man. The 360 has some serious problems when it comes to reliability. But hey then you can enjoy yourself with your Wii… eh.. no games for that console atm :(

Maybe I should complete Resident Evil 4 while the 360 is away. :)

Duuuuude why did you even get a 360 when your not done with RE4 :P?
I’m actually thinking about getting it for the Wii too :D
about 3 years ago
Sure is a must-have. :) With the Wii-version it looks like there will finally be a game that uses the graphics engine to its fullest potential. I’m getting the Resident Evil Outbreak fps-arcade-thingy as well, looks like a lot of fun.
