The Xbox 360 and the Reverent Red Ring of Death - Overheating Sold Seperately
We, Xbox 360 flunkies, are FULLY aware of the vile, Red Ring of Death and its voracious appetite for our patience. I think I speak for us all when I scream from the top of my lungs from the comfort of my couch that “Enough Is Enough”!
Oh, how I love seeing that glow in the dark red ring and the lovely assortment of lights, as they flash and pulsate their trouble codes to me. The 3 red light error. I just sit on my couch and daze off into this Red Ring of Death and get lost in its color and light show. Almost the same as a child would watch the twinkling lights of a Christmas tree.
Unlike the child, however, I am not sitting and watching in awe and utter amazement. No, I’m staring, taking deep breathes, counting to ten, putting myself in some far away “happy place”, every single exercise that my 1st grade teacher, even my grandmother, taught me when I was young to calm down when I got mad.
It’s not working. It’s sooooo not working. I just keep wishing that this Xbox had a soul. A soul would suggest having feelings, which would further suggest it having a sense of pain. A pain I would love to inflict on it.
So, I just sit and stare, grind my teeth and clinch my fists. And when my blood’s temperature lowers from a near Chernobyl like, nuclear meltdown level, I will search for a solution. One that doesn’t equal shipping my Xbox back to Microsoft for nearly 2 months. One that doesn’t equal nearly $200 slide away from my near empty checking account (thanks expired warranty). One that doesn’t mean carelessly sticking my fingers into the console. I know that I will stick my fingers or a butter knife in it the second AFTER I plug it in. Remember Beeker from the Muppet Show? Ouch.
I could try the infamous “terry towel wrap” trick, but I would soon rather beat my Xbox into a fine powder with a heavy brick than risk the chance of burning my house down. The Talking Heads (80’s band) sang “Burning Down The House” as a possible prediction of me and this very moment. And possibly not only catching my house on fire, but half of my neighborhood as well. I have a habit of panic, and I can see myself spreading flames to the other homes on my street in my wake, as I run kicking and screaming.
Unless I just electrocute myself. With any luck, the flames from my burning corpse would stay within the confines of my apartment. What a wonderful mental image. Note to self: “Keep fingers out of Xbox 360”
So, after I’ve practiced grandma’s “calm down” therapy for the ump-teenth time, I ran a search on the internet for a solution. I found myself getting quickly upset again in the fact that the only solution that I could find involved wrapping my Xbox 360 into a trillion towels to try to MAKE it overheat. Remember what our friends The Talking Heads warn? No way, that is just too stupid and risky.
I know lots of people have been successful with this practice. I also know that they have to make their little Xbox “cocoon” once a week or so, thanks to the inevitable return of the pesky Red Ring of Death.
There is other information out there that can be purchased, and they do in fact work very nicely. And best of all, they don’t involve directions that contain the word “overheat” or the words “significant risk of fire”. Unless of course, you like that DEEEEEP all over tan look, in which case, “Flame On!”
In ending, please put the towels and fire extinguisher away, and the heavy brick if you planned on taking things that far. The best thing that you can do to protect you from the Red Ring of Death is a pre-emptive one. BUY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY.

dark circles under the eyes
dark under eye circles; most of us find ourselves staring into the mirror and
looking like we have panda eyes at one time or another. dark circles can actually
make you look very old. They make you look tired, ill, and older, so
what are the ways of getting rid of them? In order to permanently removedark under eye circles, the treatments also need to be foolowed by good health habbits. While there are
home cures, creams and even medical precedures that can help reduce their
appearance, dark circles under the eyes can some times be avoided by addressing any
health conditions that may cause them.
Dark circles under the eyes are a frequent, unpleasant and very depressing health issue that
affects manypeople. Despite what a lot people think, these dark circles, wrinkles and
baggy eyes under the eyes are not caused by tired or stressed. Instead most experts in the
field concludeed that they are caused to blood vessels which are visible through the
skin that is found beneath the eyes. These veins leak blood close to the surface.
The blood oxidize and turn a dark, red color. Because the skin under the eyes is veryThe lighter the skin , the slow loss of blood will help the development of
in darker circles. The change in color in time it can become permanent .
Skin color and theskin thickness are inherited traits and
so there is little help in these instances.
For years I have suffer from dark under eye circles;
so often I got questions regarding
my wellbeing just because my dark under eye circles. Often even a simple headache
added to the ill-look of my face .
I'm very glad I decided to
research this problem that affects thousands of people, because
thanks to this investigation I got rid of my dark under eye circles
but also I improve my underlying
hepatic problem that causes dark under eye circles.
Researches have shown that sluggishness of blood flow beneath
the eyes may also cause dark circles. Vitamin K found to diminish the appearance of dark under eye circles.
But these results are not long lasting because the root of the condition
is not vitamin K deficiency.
this will only yield temporary improvement because
still the underlying cause of dark under eye circles is not being taken care of.
