I got my 360 a little less than a year ago. Worked perfectly.

Then around christmas time there was suddenly a problem with certain layers in certain games that would have vertical lines running through them, a sort of staticky, fuzzy layer.

Some games like Rock Band still worked perfectly.

Other games like Fallout 3, Oblivion, and COD4 only had this issue with the sky.

Halo 3 and Prince of Persia had the entire screen like this, but you could still see what was going on.

But GTA4 and Fable 2 are UNPLAYABLE because almost the entire screen is flashing static, especially in the upper half of the screen (In Fable 2, there are also circular red rays emanating from the centre of the screen.

I have tried switching TVs, messing with the video settings with the 360 both in non-HD and HD outputs, and also changed the settings on the TV itself.

Has anyone else experiences this issue? I cannot find this exact problem anywhere on google. And if so, does anyone know a solution?

Your technique for painting is very good, but is it really that interesting to directly copy a picture of someone elses work. You have the grid setup and everything...

I am a bit of a painter myself, and I myself did a Zelda painting a couple years ago, but I made a point to change the look and content of the subject to make it my own.

Don't get me wrong, the actual painting is very well done, even dead on with the original, but where is the fun and creativity in making a direct copy?

I would sorta want a more in depth take on the sports. Having your characters more for you in Wii Tennis really sucks, and half the time the ball doesnt go where you want it to. Singles in tennis would be nice. Hardr bowling, actual 9 inning baseball where you get to catch outfield etc.

Oh and dodgeball would be cool too

Yeah, and the game is flawed. If you try to hit a ball that lands in the centre of the court, it just goes out pretty much everytime.

The ball always curls towards the character.

Hopefully the Nunchuk can be used to move and the remote to swing.

More of the games should rely less on luck and more on skill. The idea of complete noobs being able to luck out and take on pros is just plain silly.

There is skill to each game, immense skill, you just don't know how to control the various componants.

More than an hour's worth of basic gameplay.

Do you mean More than 20 minutes of gameplay a day, every day, for 9 months?

Now, I'm not getting this game. I never liked Metroid games, they are just not fun, I have tried all both Primes, and Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion. Metroid Prime 1 was way overrated and looking at this game, nothing has been changed, and because of that I can understand an 8.5.

But there is just one thing I don't understand... in the Cons listed in the gamespot review for Prime 3, it says that because the controls are streamlined, it detracts from the game. Now from what I understand, simple controls are GOOD, a lot of games get kicked in the ass because they have complicated controls, and a big advantage the wii has brought is simplified controls. So... complicated controls bad. Simple controls bad. WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT!!

Diddy Kong

Appearance = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diddy_Kong Monkey in a red cap and red shirt

Weight = Light to Very Light

Height =Mario-ish

Speed =Very fast, he is one of the fastest in the game.

A = Tail whips out (3%, can attack 3 times in succession)

A left/right = barrage of fists (2% each time, up to 8 times, but very hard to achieve that many)

A up = does a handstand and jumps in the air, kicking an opponent (10%)

A down = While in air, he flips upside down and does a head butt, while waving his arms, so as to look like he's trying to speed up. If on ground, does a quick jump into the air and proceeds with downward head butt (10%)

B = throws a banana (1%, but inverts controls of the enemy that is hit for 1 second)

B left/right = cartwheel (20%, by far Diddy's strongest move)

B up = If in air, curls into a ball and rolls upward through the air (8%, jumps very high with good distance left/right, moves in a big arc) If on ground, rolls forward a fair ways (8%, but be careful because Diddy might go over the edge easily)

B down = lays a banana down that last for 20 seconds 0%, however if an enemy walks across it, they automatically fall down. Only 3 bananas max can be laid on the ground at any one time)

Throw =grabs with tail, and throws them. It could be funny with large characters such as Bowser. (5%)

Taunt =Pulls out boom box and dances. (I think this is what he does at the end of levels/bosses in DKC2

Smash Emblem Move = Rhino (I forget his name) comes onto stage and Diddy hops on him. Diddy can only be hurt from behind, and cannot be knocked down. His jump is significantly reduced, but anything he jumps on or runs into is knocked down and heavily damaged (It is almost exactly like the Hammer Item, but it always works and lasts longer, 10-15 seconds)

**** YES!! This is the best update yet!! Of course I will try the other characters, but Diddy is just the kind of character that I would use: Medium size, fast, and probably lots of quick A attacks.

Last night I found my old Donkey Kong 64 Strategy Guide and flipped through it, and when I saw Diddy I knew he would be in Brawl. And now he's here!! Before the updates started I even made up a move-set for Diddy. If I find it perhaps I'll post it.

The only way they can top this is by putting Skull Kid in.

My favourite would have to be Edvard Munch's "Scream". Looks just like the painting...

No, rent it if anything. It is fairly fun, and cool multiplayer (when sitting with friends in particular), but to me it felt like one big minigame, and not really like soccer at all.
