<24 hours until Halo marathon

and this is where we stop pulling punches. I am just under halfway to my goal. Our Team is doing awesomely, but why only do awesome when we can DO BETTER!
Therefore I am willing to offer a few incentives.
I will randomly pick 2 donors to the charity to receive 1 of 2 codes for xbox live each
The 2 codes I have are:

Castle Crashers
AND
A NOBLE 6 AVATAR HELMET CODE

But wait There’s more!

If I can hit or come close to my goal I will do something drastic.
The Beard will go away:

Oh The HUMANITY

Do you have it in you to donate money to help children’s hospitals?

Do you think you can win a prize?

Do you think I’ll shave the beard?

Fragging Aliens for Charity

Fellow Spartans,
I interrupt the (ir)regularly scheduled shenanigans to invite you to help me with a charitable cause. I have signed up for Extra Life.
Here’s a quote from their site ( http://www.hospitalshelpkids.org/ExtraLife/default.aspx ).

Welcome to Extra Life, an annual 24-hour video game marathon that raises money to help heal sick kids at your local children’s hospital. It’s never been this much fun to do this much good.
This year’s event begins at 8:00am in your local time zone on October 16th, 2010. Each of our participants is currently raising money by recruiting at least 4 sponsors to give $1.00 for each hour of the marathon (that’s $24.00 per sponsor).
I have signed up for a lofty goal of $1,170.00 for Boston’s Children Hospital :). A few friends will be joining myself and we will be marathon Halo for 24 hours. The current plan is a rush through on coop Normal through Halo Reach -> Halo 1 -> Halo 2 -> Halo 3. Reach and 3 will be 4 player coop and 1,2 will be 2 sets of 2 player coop. Our team will webcast the event and any ensuing shenanigans because I am sure Halo 3 will be a BSAngel surprise (Read as: team killing heaven) due to the exhaustion and caffeine taking over :P. I hope you will take your time, and open your wallets 😉 to a good cause.

REACH. It’s almost here

Reach is upon us!

The day we have all waited so patiently for.

I know it has been a while since my last update, I was being followed *shifty eyes*.

My next post was supposed to be me revealing the diamonds I found in my xbox. After the video was made shady characters began following me smelling a lot like manly people who bathe in Old Spice… Therefore I have been reluctant to post it. It will be made public tonight while they are distracted with the Launch of REACH.

Speaking of which!

Join me later for an unboxing and the my revelation upon opening my Box of X. As well as the video of my diamond search!

XBOX Update and diamonds

It has been over a month. It happens :P. 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 😛

http://www.aeropause.com/2010/06/

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).

Thank you for reading,
~SPOSpartan104

So I have been putting this post off for a little while.

I unlocked a new achievement
RROD :(

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:

Good News Bad News

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.
