Lately, I've been playing my 360 a bunch and I have been able to get some of my summer backlog out of the way. First it was Mass Effect, then Devil May Cry 4 on Devil Hunter mode and now trying to beat Grand Theft Auto IV. I was in the middle of a mission when my console decided to freeze. I get up, turn it off and then the red ring of death happens when I turn it on.

I could not believe it. I was staring death in the face. After a year of quality gaming, this has to happen. I knew that I could not let my 360 go out like that.

I took out my game from the disc tray and powered down the console. I starting thinking about getting on xbox.com to see what I would have to do to get my 360 ready for a repair. After a couple of minutes, I told myself that there was no way that this machine is going to go out on me. So I went back over to my 360, turned it on again and the rings popped up to taunt me.

Already frustrated by the way things have been going in my life, I powered down my console and went into a minute of childish cursing. I was saying every nasty thing imaginable at my console. In the middle of cursing, I made a fist and slammed onto the 360 like a sledgehammer and hurt my wrist, which led to more cursing. Finally, I calmed down and took some deep breaths to soothe myself.

After my rampage, I decided to turn on my console for the last time before I looked up the info to send it in. Thinking that what I did would have probably damaged it even more, the system started up normally with the nice green lights flashing. How the hell did my 360 come alive after that? I could not believe that my rampage revived it (not an actually cure for the RROD so please do not try this at home).

After my little situation, I decided to try out Geometry Wars 2. It's still the same game basically as 1 but with new modes. I wanted to buy this as soon as it came out, but was turned off by the lack of multiplayer over Live. I know that a bunch of you bought it already and was wondering if it was a worthy purchase?

Well, I'm off to play some GTA. Thanks for reading.
