The Word of Chaos

This video appears to be some kind of crazy promotional video for MS DOS 5. According to the fellow who posted this to YouTube, he found it when going through a closet at his workplace. I can’t imagine finding some kind of crazy crap like this.

This glitch is magical! You just have to see it to believe it!

At the UK Launch of Guitar Hero 3, Johnny Rotten talks about a bunch of random crap that has very little to do with video games at all. He addresses his love for money and how Guitar Hero 3 is a joke, but that’s about all he said that was worthwhile. The rest of it is just bleeps and random nonsense from a washed up rocker… It’s freaking hilarious.The video is available from the Official UK Xbox Magazine’s website. They were also so kind to add a swear counter for our amusement.

I completed Clive Barker’s Jericho for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC last night. With Clive Barker’s name on in the title right before “Jericho,” I expected to spend the 10 or so hours needed to complete the game in a state of constant fear and wet underwear.

Not quite, but the game was a good time regardless.

So, my 360 died. No red ring of happiness and funny fart cakes or anything like that… It just started locking up when I tried to play games. After calling Microsoft Tech Support and getting disconnected twice, I finally get Microsoft to honor the warranty repair. I receive their box and ship the console to the repair shop, and, hence, the loneliness begins.

So, I call about a week later after my Xbox has been received at the shop, to ask about my Xbox because the warranty website “has problems.” The lady misunderstands me and tries to get me off the phone by telling me that my warranty is in fact still valid.

Me: “No! You already have my Xbox! I’m calling to ask about it!”

Lady: “Oh! I see that now, sir. Please hold.”

*wait music and happy sunshiney thoughts…*

Lady: “Sir, your Xbox has been received.”

Me: “… Awesome… (Of course you received it… UPS told me that….) So, will I receive a phone call or an e-mail or smoke signals when my Xbox is shipped back to me?”

Lady: “No. I can’t promise you that. Sometimes, customers receive e-mails. Sometimes they don’t. I don’t think we do phone calls or smoke signals at all. I recommend you keep in touch with the Max IVR to keep an eye on your repair status.”

Me: “Okay… One more question…”

Lady: “Okay, go ahead sir.”

Me: “Is there an address I can use to send a “Get Well” card to my Xbox?”

Lady: “… What?”

Me: “Seriously, is there an address I can use to send a “Get Well” card to my Xbox? I miss it, and I want it to know that I’m at home thinking about pushing it’s buttons.”

Lady: “… Hold please…”

…

Lady: “Sir, we don’t do that.”

Me: “Well, that’s a shame. Thanks for your help!”
