The Official Rant Thread

It pisses me off when the owners show them off and brag. They're not worth bragging about. The camera is horse shite, it doesn't support file transfer via bluetooth and MMS/Copy and Paste... it took three major updates to include these things?

I can't wait to get an HTC Touch HD.

My current phone is about three years old (got it when Casino Royale came out, whenever that was) and the features that it shares in common with the iPhone, it does better than the iPhone, e.g. camera, mms, bluetooth transfers etc.

I just find most iPhone owners to take the same mentatlity as some religious people, in that you can present them with facts and they show complete disregard for them. Or they defend with "ahh, I don't need that feature, or I can live with/without this"

It seems DeToX is the only exception to this.

I think everyone here should draw pictures of penises and then paste them on their siblings.
But then again, what do I know...

Pre-Aice History is breaking my balls man, squeezing the life out of them.

CRITICAL ANALYSIS PAPERS

I need help. I'm screwed

[-DeToX-]

Well!

Instead of fixing a paper I wrote when I got the chance today to redeem some extra marks on things I overlooked, I decided to look into something for Halo 3 since I haven't done anything in Halo 3 in a while. Research brought greattttt results.. Though I still should've done that paper.

JOHN AND KATE. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

The Game.

I lost. :'(

[MrBalll]

NOOOOOO.
I don't remember all the warranty info they re-issued, but if I bought a release Xbox am I still covered under warranty or is it time to throw this thing over the balcony?

[latinomodder]

If you bought it at release, then your out of luck

[Aumaan Anubis]

You lucky bastard.

You're one of the lucky few who have the opportunity and the reason to finally beat their Xbox 360 with a baseball bat, in a small park near your house, where small neighboring children will stare at you, with mothers covering their eyes, as you, with glowing red eyes, violently eliminate its existence.

In case you didn't catch it; I do, in fact, fear that you're out of luck. Or in the fantasy case, you're in luck.

Microsoft has pledged to extend the warranties to three years from date of purchase for those who suffer from RROD, and will reimburse those who already paid to have it fixed.

As I believe the 360 was released in 2005, it seems as though it extended to 2008 for you, but not after.

Be creative in it's destruction. Then video-tape it.

[Ombre]

Just order some clamps and fix it yourself if they won't.

Just color over the lights in Sharpie to black them out.

My grandfather used to do it to the warning lights on his car dash. At least it's effective.

=o It worked. The RRoD is gone. But or some reason I am getting no video output.

I guess I'll try and fix it myself and if all else fails just destroy it into a million little pieces.

[LuxuriousMeat]

You could also just get it fixed/a refurbished one for $100 if you don't want to destroy it, or try to fix it yourself.

[Jordan]

You could just buy a PS3. Lol.

If you have a store like "Morning Glory" near you, see if they sell a small firecracker called a "Sprite Bomb". They usually sell them in packs of 12, so you should buy 20 packs. Remove them individually, being careful to keep them separate, and to throw out any ones that have a cracked crust (important, as those ones are unstable). Open up some part of your Xbox and pour the Sprite Bombs in. Go to a secluded area, and drop it off of some height, while shielding your soft parts and wearing some manner of ear protection. The thing will explode, with hilarious/harmful results!

Be sure to film it, for science.

That's really not that bad, I've seen people do far worse/creative things.

Ohio Middle School Removes Nintendo Power Magazine From Library

A middle school in Ohio has removed the November issue of Nintendo Power magazine from its library due to the violent nature of the cover. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has stepped in to try and reverse the decision. Principal Brian Sharosky ordered issue #234 of the magazine out of the Roxboro Middle School library because of the violent content portrayed on the cover which features a gun-toting hottie from Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.

Dumb Controversy. I mean this a waste of effort on something so trivial. Just Cut the gun off the cover... "Problem solved". >_>

[MarsMartianMan]

That's really not that bad, I've seen people do far worse/creative things.

But it is bad, they do it all the time on the [FS] server. If there wasn't an admin on every other hour, I bet the server would be permanently shut down.
