Whacky Xbox Back!

Yes, it's working. I've put it outside the cabinets and it hasn't had any problems. I also did 2 12 hour burns, leaving the machine running, and it hasn't frozen...yet.....

And, I'm testing it out with Splinter Cell: Double Agent.
To say this game rocks would be an understatement.
Short Review: graphics: 9.8, sound 9.9, AI 9.8 , Live 9.0 (will explain in longer post), Playability 10. Overall: 9.9

Whacky 360 is dead

Yes, it died last week. Was just playing music and then it froze.
Called Xbox repair Oct 11 and replacement box by Oct 13. Shipped out on Oct 14, but of course, since they do 3 day return, waited til Monday Oct 16 to ship (darn UPS store. ).
I may do side bet with Killer to see if I have 360 back by Friday Oct 21. I'm saying no way.
Mine was in pristine condition. We'll see the condition of the return.

Killer adds his 2.5 cents worth:
Whacky may not know when it comes back. Mrs. Whacky has got him working around the house now and may not want him to have it back.

While Whacky has been down, Killer has been playing Test Drive Unlimited. Mrs. Killer says Killer's real driving is worse than ever. HEY, if I can drive on the sidewalks in the game, I can do it in real life too.

Killer picked up Splinter Cell - Double Agent last night and if Nip/Tuck (best show on television) was not on, would have played it more. This game beats Chaos Theory's 9.8 rating. It is awesome... no...not having some awe... I am fully awed over this game.. that makes it awful (full of awe). And I have not even gotten to the second check point.

Oh, Whacky.. you are missed.

UPDATE - 10-19: I shipped out Monday, 3 day delivery UPS. UPS messed up and it is on the truck today to be delivered today, Thursday. Hmm, 3 days must mean 3 days on the truck.
