WRUP: so sad and lonely edition

Posted Aug 3rd 2007 10:30AM by Richard Mitchell
Filed under: Fan stuff, What are you playing?

Despite the fact we had accepted that it would happen eventually, the loss of a console has taken its toll. We're angry and confused. We've been short with our friends and family. The other day, we stooped to playing Gamecube to dull the pain. It didn't work. We miss all of our dear online friends. The 360 community rug has been viciously been pulled out from under us. Honestly, we're not sure what to do next. But don't worry about us, for it is you that's important. Besides, two out of three X3F bloggers still have working consoles, and two out of three ain't bad. So, as always we must ask, what will you be playing this weekend?

Unfortunately, it seems like all the great looking new games (besides Bioshock) are coming out within a few weeks of each other in the fall. I'm going to be so broke.

22. Hey, how about one MORE pointless comment from me today? Why not?:)

I just wanna tell Richard not at ALL to feel left out or too depressed. If I had to choose a time of the year to be without a 360, this would be it. Madden hits in two weeks, and Bioshock before the end of the month, but that's pretty much it. Halo is still 7 weeks away, and Call of Duty 4 is thirteen weeks from now. Hopefully your replacement console will last through the Holiday season and let ya play everything coming up in the next few months!

Sit down, buy a DS lite if you haven't already, and chill with Advance Wars: Dual Strike, CastleVania: Portrait of Ruin, New Mario Bros, Tetris DS, Puzzle Quest, Picross and Rocket Slime.:) When you get your console back, it'll be time to get Bioshock!

28. wing commander for 1000 kill gusto. shadowrun for my last 10 points. Civil War for a few more achievement points. Marathon and spyglass, with a crappy kids game for some points.

29. Well depends on the paycheck. Barring any significant leftover funds after taking care of bills, I'll be playing (at least one of the following) in no particular order, NCAA 08, Gears of War, SDVR07 (if it comes in before Monday), Halo 1 (I'm fairly new to the XBox/360 scene), and/or any new games I acquire. I'm thinking about ES4O, Bomberman Live, SOTN, and probably some others I'm forgetting. Just need the money first.

30. It's going to be a stormy weekend here about in Chicago area...

It's been a tough month in July trying to get my gaming theater setup. I recently bought Oblivion, ShdaowRun, Pac Man CE and Devil May Cry 3.

And on top of that, I have quite a few games to finish still, Crackdown, Gears on Hardcore, R6:Vegas offline and online for more points, Guitar Hero II...Sheesh, I never would have beleived it when I was a kid but it seems like I honestly have way too many games to handle at the moment

31. It may be worth it for you to go buy a Core system right now, plug in your hardrive (which doesn't get sent with your console) and you back up and running.

Then when it comes back, sell it on ebay. You'll pretty much make back what you paid...it will be like you are renting one for $50.

If you are more unscrupulous, you may even be able to just return the console within it's 30 days.

32. its whining till it happens to you. then you'll be in this limbo emptying your heart out on an of topic article. When MS admits the problem isntead of blaiming the user maybe just maybe they will quell the storm which is the 360s failure rate. For example: you are at risk of having your system blow up because of......................

33. Hey Mitchell, Last night on live was the best EVA heh. I had an unbelievable amount of pleasure destroying people and thier egos in GOW. Maybe now would be a good time to get ur hands on a ps2 and catch up on some good shit U nodoubt missed out on. Dont U have a friend or some1 U could borrow it from for a few weeks?

As far as this weekend goes Ill be hitting up.......

Gears, Pacman CE, Guitar Hero 2, R6V, COD2, The Darkness, Merathon and some Wing Commander if I can fit it in.

@32

U need to get Ur 360 fixed under the warrenty.
And if U dont have the 3 red rings make it have the 3 red rings, think about it.

34. Well, I'm SUPPOSSED to be playing nothing being as I have hand injuries (chronic pain, stiffness, spasming) from, you guessed it, playing too many video games. I'll probably be weak and play some Justice League Heroes and Marathon: Durandal though.

35. "Oh come off it..."

Rich Mitch, you've been reading that Harry Potter, haven't you? God damn that book is long!

Anyway, I'll be finishing up Marvel UA With my chicka and probably some Dirt. There's a fair type thing in my town this weekend, so I'll be there a lot tho.

I play shadowrun just about everyday but have yet to see you online / I was also apart of the early beta release but did not see you so lets get to the point I want to go troll hunting, so would you or any other fanboy like to go troll hunting with me gamertag: Alijah Green

39. Its a sad time when that happens. Fortunently I've played my Son's system until I got mine back last week. Funny I sent it to them on the 17th and got it back on the 25th. Mine wasn't ROD, DVD drive went out but they sent me a brand new one, with a free month of Xbox Live Gold. The only bad thing is that my Son charged me $5 a day usage, so he now has $50, plus I had to do his chores. I don't think MS screwed me but I do believe my Son did! Oh well he's 17 and in 2 adays for Football so I guess he deserves it. Right?

40. More then likely Bomberman, I've played Oblivion to death, along with all my other games, that or Sonic the Hedgehog.

Poor guys losing your X-box. *Prays it wont happen to her*
