The Iceman's Game Journal

After seeing Tim's Game Diary, I started this blog to give me some incentive to actually finish some of the 461+ video games I have (of which I have finished 41.) Hope it works.

So I'm all moved back to my parents, at least for a while. It sucks because they don't have the net yet (I'm at the Fiend right now) everything went fine for a moving, but I think my dad and bro dropped the 360 :( I know the side of the box ripped and a lot fell out, but I'm knot sure. I do know that when I hooked it up in my room, all I got was 3 flashing reds. Last time that happened was when it upgraded to Xbox Experience. That time it started working fine soon afterwards. This time, nothing for about 2 days. And I remember reading that if it doesn't start working on it's own, it needs to be replaced. Problem is that will take at least 3 weeks, and I'm not sure where I will be living in 3 weeks. Could have it sent to my parents place, just in case I am still there, but I want to be able to use it as soon as I get it back in case I am somewhere else.

So I went out and got and Arcade. Some good stuff. 1.) came with 5 games (Boom Boom rocket, Feeding Frenzy 3, Luxor 2, Uno and Pacman Championship Edition) plus Sega Superstar Tennis. Luxor and Feeding Frenzy I don't really care about, and I never played Boom Boom Rocket, but I loved Pacman C.E. and have Uno already. Plus I wanted to get Sega Superstar tennis, so bonus.

2.) I have a second controller now. And it's wireless! so now Rae or Bugs (or anyone else) can play as well and I have a back up when I get a charger so I can keep playing when the batteries go dead in the old one.

And it's not a complete lose money wise. I plan on selling the console and cables on EBay when the Elite gets repaired. All in all, not a bad plan to get the Arcade.
