Buddy Knox Mourns 360 Death :(

[Pappy Knuckles]

st. nick is an *******. as soon as i tried to play a game, the damn system went out again. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. i should've just stayed in the arcade.

Just played my first game with the Knicks. I beat some guy using the Heat. Wish he would have played more sim ball but still a pretty good game. The big guys stink on the Knicks but Jamal Crawford can finish when he goes to the whole. He dropped in 31 and the self proclaimed greatest point guard in the NBA had 14 and 13.

well i've managed to get my 360 to play games for now. i'm afraid to turn it off now lol. if you get time for a game of hoops let me know.

yes, the big men stink on the knicks. i think jerome "king" james is the slowest person in the game. i just get so pissed off trying to play transition d and trying to get his slow *** up the court. marbury, frye, and crawford are my most consistent players. Rose and Q especially are trash. everytime i'm in a winnable situation they find a way to miss a fast break dunk or do something to lose me the game. it kills me.

sorry to hear

Again, not to sound like I'm bitter, but at least you got a taste of the Xbox 360 and what it can do.

You didn't send it back to MS yet?

no mail service today so i'm assuming that the box from microsoft will come in tomorrow. hopefully after i ship my console to them it won't be too much turnaround time. i actually got my system to halfway work today, but it still gives me the error from time to time. i hope that when they send it back to me that the problem is gone completely.

well i tried to keep playing my 360, but it gave me the red error some more today so i said **** it and boxed it up. the only problem is that the shipping labels that microsoft gave me are from some company called dhl. we don't have any of those here in durham, nc so i scheduled for them to pick it up tomorrow.

what the hell is dhl? i looked on their website and they looked like a bunch of guys in chicken costumes. whatever happened to using fed ex, ups, or the united states postal service? needless to say, i don't have a lot of trust in this dhl company getting my package there, but if microsoft uses them i guess they're okay. we'll see...

well it's going to be wierd not playing any video games while waiting, but at least i'll be too drunk on new years to care. damn... i really wanted to play doa tomorrow too... oh well...

it's been real 360... can't wait to see you again.
