  Bad Luck with Electronics

  I seem to be having a run of bad luck when it comes to my electronics collection. First my desktop succumbs to a virus and I'm stuck with a hand-me down laptop that's on it's last legs, my cat once again gums up my Dreamcast's open button, and now my 360 has lost it's video output because of one of three things

  1. It was damaged in the recent power outage we had yesterday

  2. It has finally succumbed to my cat walking all over it and shedding on it

  3. A virus in an update or faulty part

  The only positivie note is that I now have an excuse to buy one of the 2009 360s, which I've bee wanting to do for a while now

  Perfect Ending to an awful week

  And I thought things couldn't get worse after getting into a fender bender this afternoon, well I found out what could make things worse: my cats, messed up my favorite console, my Xbox360 and caused an E68 Error, and this isn't the first console they've messed up: they gummed up my Dreamcast's power and open switches, caused Red Screens on my Jaguar,knocked cables on nearly all of my consoles loose,and they've even knocked my 360 over. Fortunatally things seem to be running fine at the moment, I unplugged and reattached the hardrive and it seemed to clear the problem, but I've now lent thought to possibly getting a second 360 as a back up just in case

  Gamespot's All Time Greatest Hero Contest

  This is probably nothing new, and I'm not trying to sound like a sore loser, lately I've been feeling like the whole thing was rigged from the start to guarentee that either Mario or Link would take the top spot, even though there were far better characters (Gorden Freeman, Kratos, Master Chief, Cloud, and Ryu Hyabusa for example) on the list. The whole contest has lately been giving Mario and Link a free ride, despite the fact that many of their games tell the same story over and over again, reusing the exact same plot. While I say congragulations to who ever wins in the end, it's not right that Mario or Link be given free rides in every contest just because of their legacies.
