I&#8217;m here at work and I had some time, so I figured I&#8217;d get on here and\u00a0post an update or two. As some of you may or may not have been aware, my Xbawks360 RRoD&#8217;d on me about 2 weeks ago. Now I know what you might be\u00a0thinking: &#8220;Why didn&#8217;t I post about this THEN?&#8221; Well the fact of the matter is, I tried to keep from thinking of it all together because it caused both a great deal of sadness and frustration. Those who have owned a 360 that RRoD&#8217;d know what I mean.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully it didn&#8217;t take long for the great people at Microsoft to repair my console and return it. I am actually quite impressed with how their customer service handled the situation. Thanks to their 3 year extended warranty, almost everything was taken care of at no charge to me&#8230;the only thing that I had to pay for was the box to ship it in. They even went as far as sending a card with a month of Gold service free. If any of you have a problem with your console, don&#8217;t be afraid to let Microsoft know. They&#8217;ll treat you right.<\/p>\n<p>However, even in that small period of time I felt quite depraved not being to play many of my games with my friends, so when I got my console back I was quite ready to play. However, I don&#8217;t have enough friends on Live to consistently play a game with. Sure, I could play with people I didn&#8217;t know, but there&#8217;s just nothing like teamwork with the people you <em>do<\/em> know. From annihilating opposing teams on Halo, to thrashing through a difficult solo on Guitar Hero(or Rock Band of course), knowing who you&#8217;re playing with just seems to make things better.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I understand that many of those who are my friends have different lifestyles that they lead. But to be honest, I&#8217;d like to have at least one organized &#8220;game night&#8221; so to speak possibly once a week where we can all get together and pick a game to enjoy. Spontaneity is nice every once in awhile, but when there&#8217;s new DLC for a game (ex. LFD2&#8217;s<em> The Passing<\/em>), to me it would be better if we could have something planned. I&#8217;ve been thinking about doing this since a good bit before my 360 RRoD&#8217;d but I&#8217;m seriously considering planning this night myself. If you&#8217;d like to\u00a0get involved\u00a0in this and you&#8217;re not one of my Live friends just e-mail me\u00a0at <a href=\"mailto:miller@mygcsa.com\">miller@mygcsa.com<\/a>.\u00a0I&#8217;m gonna try to get on AIM a bit more often than usual as well so if you&#8217;d like to get in touch with me that way\u00a0my screenname is\u00a0gravelullaby06.
