    Xbox 360

    They did indeed extend it, and I'm covered; After nearly 30 minutes of being on hold and talking to Max, the automated voice guy, an agent told me it'd be covered; they're sending a box and it'll take about 3 weeks for repair. That's not terrible.

    Xbox 360

    Red ring today. Happened briefly yesterday, but crossed my fingers and got another few rounds of Tiger out of it. Happened again today, tried it six times, and all RROD. I registered it online, and it said the warranty expired January 31 of this year. Wasn't the warranty just upped to 3 years, or was that only for new purchases? I got mine on December 23, 2005. I'm getting drunk right now, but that won't make my 360 work when I wake up. Suggestions? Also, the place I'm currently renting has a built in corner shelf, on which my tv is kept. I keep the 360 on the floor below it, as open as possible. I'm buying a house in a few months, and looking at some entertainment centres. I've been told not to put the 360 inside a cabinet, as it leads to overheating. Ideally, I wouldn't be purchasing a cooling unit. So, my questions: If I buy a centre, can I leave the 360 in it, even if there's a four or five inch gap between the shelves? Am I better off buying a wall-mount for the television and just building two shelves for the 360 and my cable box? And finally, and this might be a dumb question, but how safe is it to run the component/vga cables through the wall?

    NHL Thread - December 2007

    Speaking of Yzerman, my roommate went to his folks' yesterday and found all his old Don Cherry videos, including #5 from 92-93, featuring Don Cherry's techno remix - "Who's the best I often ponder? Right now, it's Stevie Wonder! Let's go!" That had to be shared. Both Nikolai Zherdev and my boy Iginla had a chance for hat tricks with empty nets last night, and both took the assist instead. Calgary's win was made possible by a ridiculous amount of penalties by the Ducks. I mean that as a criticism of the Ducks' lack of discipline, not poor officiating.

    Sorry. It's for me. CanadianGuitarist probably wouldn't have fit into the topic title. And since I'm likely going to a poll, someone should work La Parka into the thread.

    Wrestling References

    Do the Devils still do likewise? Also, Matt Stairs has Stone Cold's theme play when he comes to the plate at Rogers Centre.

    Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling

    Eeeeee. That might be sound advice. I know he cheated on his wife dozens of times, and my opinion of him did drop a fair amount so far. Considering the tat I have on my left shoulder, maybe I'll skip this one, as interested as I am in his side of the story on a few things. Anyone read Jericho's yet?

    HDTV

    I'll agree with the "If you've got it, use it". I really don't notice that much improvement as far as picture quality from my set-top box, but Rant was right about the upconverting DVD's, and I'd also like a few less wires and cables behind my television.

    Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling

    I was thinking of picking it up with a gift card I received. I'm sort of timid about it, I'm worried that one of my idols is little more than a sleazebag.

    Ever got so drunk that you...

    I've had to put "NO" next to every person on my phone to avoid drunk dialing.

    So we have three contenders so far: The Fish! (Danny Maff) 80's Guy! (Sideburnious) Ultimate Yeah-Uh! (Czech)

    I didn't mean to say you were singing their praises; I've been genetically wired to point out my hatred of Slush Puppies every time they're simply mentioned.

    That's no bargain. Slush Puppies are disgusting.

    Hard to believe he only ever got a companion to the Order of Canada. RIP Mr. Peterson.

    Addendum: While both were kinda rad, explanations/custom member titles if you may? Poll forthcoming.

    Hey, I just had a thought: coupled with the posting of The Ultimate Giant in General Wrestling's YouTube thread, could an Ultimate Yeah-Uh be far behind? Ladies and gentlemen, your earlier leader.

    Was that the newscast that had a car drive into it yesterday? I can't take any "Yeah-Uh's!" I was merely pointing out its history. What's next, a name change to CzechGuitarist?

    It's not bad whatsoever. What I meant was that if Sarah Silverman was the pot of gold at the end, maybe being likened to him wasn't all bad.

    HD DVD/Blu-Ray

    I'd been meaning to ask that as well. Is every Blu Ray to be 1080p as well? Also, to carry on from the 360 add-on convo frome earlier: Is there such thing as a component-to-HDMI cable? I suppose I could just get the VGA cable, but, weighing my options at this point. By the way, Future Shop has a Boxing Day doorcrasher: HD-DVD with two free movies, and a send-away for five more for 100 dollars.

    kkk Bowl V: Week 16

    Even though I'm shit this year, I'd like to thank KKK for running this show. I look forward to it each year, and I'm sure it's a considerable amount of work. Since you're likely going to call me a hippie anyway, I'll wish you Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas.

    The poster above you (forum edition)

    Probably doesn't listen to much Trooper, Loverboy, or Glass Tiger. (Ryan Adams is a Canuck?)
