X-Box Recall
I haven't seen a post on here yet about this (hopefully I didn't miss it), but X-Box is having a recall of sorts on their power cords. Apparently they heat up and melt (1 in 10,000). If you go to www.xbox.com and follow the link they will send you a FREE replacement cord. I gave them my info on Friday and had my new cord on Monday.

You guys are still buying console systems that change every year - are you????
The only real entertainment in that is watching suckers buy (at huge prices) all of those disks and cartridges that will be outmoded soon by the next system they dream up to cause you to buy even more STUFF!!!
Who convinced you that you REALLY NEED that?
Is entertainment so difficult to find?
You guys are entertaining me, for example....
I can't believe you spent money on THAT...

PS: PC programs are the only way to go - they remain stable and playable (many times over). Any company that does not offer PC game format - I REFUSE TO DEAL WITH.
They will become outmoded, and the relics they were played on will go the way of the ATARI system

The way I look at it, their machines are staying top of the line twice as long as our computers.
Anyway, I'm still trying to beat King Koopa on my original Nintendo. Eventually, maybe within the next year or two I'll be ready to upgrade to a super Nintendo. Now thats a powerful machine.

Got news -
I ditched my nin, and have old games from 3DO that i still play constantly.
Come to think of it - I haven't had to buy something new and entertaining in five years - the replay factor is still good!
And I usually read books.

Wolfus, good to see you back... I look at it this way, I'm enought a computer nut to be able to "crack" the XBOX, put linux on it, and have a very capable network server..... So when I can get them for 119.99 used everyday, the bigger question is "why not?".

I suspect I will get RAIDED over this -
But here is my story.
I was completely against NINTENDO - I thought it was a waste of time. Until I saw someone trying to beat "Festers Quest" (an old nin 1 game).
- I saw a way to beat it, but it meant having a "Constant Fire" mode.
Oddly enough, there was something like it on sale. I modified a controller with a microswitch, and IT WAS ON!!!!
I got hooked, quickly. It was a basic NES...
With the mic-switch, I could select constant fire - but at times it had to be shut off.
I beat the game, and then along came "STARTROPICS"....
And so on, and so on...
Then came SEGA GENESIS - a friend of mine at work was selling the whole nine yards.
In with the other games was ROAD RASH!!!
I ate it right up.....
Instant catharsis, rage converted into meaningless digital conflict, fast terrain changes, and combat scenarios!!!
I ate the dust many, many times.....
That was my SEGA adventure...
And then LINK took me back to the original box, and the further adventures took me into SUPER NINTENDO....
I suddenly realised, I was being sold something new just about every year...
At that point, I said the hell with it, and went back to the tried and true games that never forced me to change ANYTHING....
I have been happy ever since.
