So, I played XBox Live for the very first time today. I got it working by stretching a 5' long ethernet cable from my router to my XBox 360. The 360 was rigged up between the door frame and the door for maximum reach because I was having a hard time getting it hooked up to a TV. So, I get it set up. I spend ~30 minutes creating a profile, start up MW2, and my little sister of 3 comes through the door. Of course I tell her to get out of my room, and so she does. But mimicking what she sees on her cartoon shows, she acts mad, crosses her arms, and slams the 360 (with MW2 inside) in the door. I hear a 'Bzzt' noise and my heart drops. Instantly my screen goes to the 'Disc Unreadable' screen and I nearly pass out with rage. So I took the disc out and, there it was, an undeniable circle right on the back. So, heartbroken, I ask my mother for some extra money to buy another (the receipt was gone) and she denied me. Says it's my fault and I shouldn't have had the 360 between the door.

Now I'm out $60, Modern Warfare 2, and still need another $60. I guess I'll just make due with CoD4 for the time being.


HappyCheez is my gamertag if anybody wants to add me, by the way.

... and you let her get off without any repercussions? No screaming? No threats? No bludgeoning with a hockey stick?
Quote: "Says it's my fault and I shouldn't have had the 360 between the door."

No offense, but it sounds like your mom isn't very bright. Yes, it is partially your fault in a very small, insignificant way. MAYBE like .001%. The rest of it is, quite obviously and undeniably, your sisters fault for slamming the door for no reason.
Quote: "Now I'm out $60, Modern Warfare 2, and still need another $60. I guess I'll just make due with CoD4 for the time being."

Wouldn't it make much, MUCH more sense to make your sister pay for it? Or, if she doesn't have the money, take something of hers of approximately equal value and "accidentally" step on it. Then when she asks your mom to replace it, tell her that its your sister's fault for leaving it on the ground. If you REALLY want to get even, dont just step on it, trip over it. Then your sister will get in even more trouble for injuring you.

I have a devious mind.

Done this several times.

My little bro's a little bugger sometimes, I took this tactic to the extreme and faked falling a couple of steps down the stairs. He shouldnt have scratched my call of duty 4. I destroyed, a small remote control car £20 and a few other things falling down.

He was cleaning up downstairs since he left it all thier from the night before.

He of course got the blame.

Good times...

Therefore you did not download it.

Good old South Park.

I finally am back together with my XBox 360...I've not had it in my possession for over 2 months, likewise for my PC games. I deemed them too much of a distraction for Uni work...realising that I didn't have anything I could kick my feet up to and chill out to. Sadly I cannot connect to the internet with it yet, I'm going to have to find out how to set up my 360 with the Halls/Dorms network.

Also, my parents and sister visited, so it was good to see them and catch up.

@rest of quoted text,
I totally agree with you.

thats not a slug -_-"

Follow the neck along the spine, along the tail, to the tail end.

For those stuck on this, look at the other dragon on the other side of him.

Its slighlty dark so am thinking a re-render tonight, and also adding a few more interesting parts ive had picking at my muse.

I know man. Could use with lightening up a bit though because when I first saw it I actually wasn't sure what it was. The drastic colour scheme difference as it appears in the render above does make it look separate at a glance.

But yeah I like this cute lil critter of your'n - I've been following his progress with interest.

You know those days that really suck? Like, when you find out that a life-long friend just died? Well, that just happened to me.
