It has been over a month. It happens . BUT Progress will soon be made and then I’ll be back up to my shenanigans! A great thing about attending an engineering school is you make good (and useful) friends. My friend, E-Thug “Stealer of internets”, happens to be extremely good at soldering. She is willing to help me reflow my Xbox.
This is great for a few reasons:
A) I save $100
B)Once the case is off I might as well case mod it
Maybe I'll be this cool
C) to get at the DIAMONDS INSIDE THE 360! If you were unaware of the diamonds inside of an Xbox it was a secret plot between Microsoft and Isaiah Mustafa to hide their stolen goods. But Fred, you may say, why would MS and Mr. Smell good handsome guy want to steal diamonds, and WHY would they hide them in your xbox?! Oh there is a good reason, but more importantly it is not just my xbox it is ALL RROD XBOX’s. Hold on I’ll explain
You see each and every Red Ringed xbox was a holding spot for stolen diamonds. These Xbox’s had a fuse that would be lit as soon as the Serial Numbers on each of the diamonds is removed from InterPol’s watch list. Once this occurs the fuse interferes with the normal cooling system causing the GPU or CPU to overheat. This of course makes the system go HOLY SHIT OMG GO TO DEFCON 62! and then red lights of sadness. This is why Microsoft extended the warranty on Red Ringed Consoles, the original estimation for removal from Interpol’s watch list was < year.
Well if there are diamonds why has no one else reported them?
Microsoft can bribe you stupid. Would most people do better with cash or stolen diamonds that they have no idea how to sell? I rest my case
But why Isaiah Mustafa?
You see Isaiah has been running low on diamonds to supply his magic organ that allows him to turn other objects (such as tickets) into diamonds!, therefore when he got wind of Microsoft’s Master (plan) Concealed Heist Initiative with Effortless Force (Read: Master C.H.I.E.F.) Between Microsoft’s plan and Isaiah’s ability to bleed charisma like water, they were able to sneak into diamond mines around the world and smuggle them out in tiny old spice body wash tubes (which by the way did wonders for Old Spice’s ads targeting the world’s population of miners and tunnel workers).
It's all true. They've even Branded Him!
Make sense? Good.
Back to my Xbox. Work will begin soon on the new case, and I will reveal here the enormous amounts of diamonds that I have found in my console (most likely from my new mountain based beach house in Malibu).
Worst part of all. It was right before GRIFBALL WEEKEND . If you didn’t notice my unusual lack of chatter this past GrifBall weekend. Also before anyone says “But Fred just use your extended warranty!” In which I respond with my metal coated fist, “My Xbox360 is 3.36 years old therefore It will cost me $100 to get it fixed”
What shall I do with my non Halo time? I’ll tell you what. I am going to increase the content here. What will this new content be? Well it has to do with my Xbox. I am going to perform a case mod while I attempt to fix it. This will be a slow process.
You may ask: “But Mr. 104 why would you mod your xbox”
To which I humbly reply: “Three simple words: BECAUSE I CAN”
expect the preliminary drawings next week
Free Stickers to the first 3 people to guess what will be on my Xbox. Respond in the Comments

P.S. I’m going to start treating these posts like I use to treat my meeting notes from Competitive Video Game Club
Therefore the image of the day is:
Bad News! We are coming to a close on the Halo Reach Beta. Hell of a game huh?
Good News! My Bungie pro is now working. Expect to see a few interesting vids and a ton of screenshots up here soon. I will be scraping as much as I can off of my file share before the beta closes.
That is all.
As a reward for reading this post I give you an elite imitating his favorite video game character.
So I know I promised videos and screenshots however I have ran into a few snags on the video end, I bought bungie pro but it has yet to propagate to my acct. I will be taking this up on another end so until that happens enjoy this one grabbed from one of Bunige’s most recent updates.
First game of the night: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/GameStats.aspx?gameid=788692&player=EmprAnimalistic
+13 in my first match of reach I can deal with that. . The rest of the night I ended up averaging out as I tried to get the feel for each weapon. I am about to start up the game for the night but before I do I wanted to note 2 things.
1. We are thinking of doing a ustream of the beta for a day, or two, or several. Let’s see if there is interest
2. Watch out for this elite he looks angry:
Enjoy and may the bullets fly true in all of your Beta madness!
Halo Reach Beta starts next monday, but the Friends and Family Beta Starts THIS WEEKEND, if you haven’t noticed from the insane amoutn of twitter traffic.
News Item 2:
Bungie and Activision enter into potentially Faustian Deal. The Deal links the two for the next ten years, while this isn’t necessarily good/bad news, it is … interesting. We all know Halo is owned by Microsoft. That is not an issue. What is an issue are the shenanigans that happened with Infinity ward. Here’s hoping that Activision doesn’t use their sole bungie publisher power for evil. NOTE: Helping Bungie towards world domination does not constitute as evil. Gamepro has an article showing some reactions to this news: http://www.gamepro.com/article/news/215016/tell-us-how-you-really-feel-activision-bungie/ (featuring a tweet from yours truly:) )
This is a multiupdate frankly because I enjoyed the headline for it .
Halo 2 it was sad to see you go, but it was pure epic to see some people hold out for days due to maintaining connection to Bungie’s servers. You showed them you would not give up so easily. They said shut it down and you (to paraphrase the arbiter) responded with “Were it so easy…”. I was able to fit in a solid 9 hours and end at about 4 E.S.T., and only a 20 minute break. One downside: X != reload especially not in Halo 3 Team swat while staring down the barrel of a BR
Halo Reach: I’m not sure if I could be more excited about Halo Reach. The new game types seem AWESOME (invasion ). The armor enhancements intriguing, and special editions DO WANT.
Halo 3: What else is there to say. No speculations since it is the current, no breaking news since it seems to be staying for a while. So what else can I say other than…..
Zombies!!!
Have fun hiding from the living dead this Double exp
We are close to saying good bye to one of our closest friends, Halo 2. Thankfully There will be a blowout!

Exactly how I remember it
We had some good times in such a great place
fighting for all of humanity through the depths of space.
We met with Friends, We met with foes
We fought on Live toes to toes.
Good bye Halo2 on Live you will be missed. Here’s hoping someone sets up a way to continue the halo 2 online fight another way:)
