That is not a joke. I am one aggressive green chip. LoLz

On this eve of a Halo 3 release, i played poker. After work, my roommates picked up the Hallowed Consumer Product, brought me up to speed on the game, chugged some tequila, and grabbed the wireless XBOX 3600000000 controllers!! Menu, set! Co-op controls, set! START BUTTON!

Lo and Behold! Halo 3!!

Doesn't
Fucking
Work!

Yes, this fine Microsoft product was apparently the straw that sent the Xbox into the famed Red Ring of Death shutdown. After we tried to start the campaign a few times, getting the 'unreadable disc' error, the Xbox had a petit mal seizure, and went on permanent strike. Now no CDs, DVDs, or games read in the White Box of Shit. FUCK MICROSOFT AND THEIR CRAPPY, CRAPPY PRODUCT. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST HOW MANY OF THESE THINGS HAVE TO BREAK.

i googled the error message and found hundreds, if not thousands (who can really tell on the Internet) of reports of Halo 3 either bricking the Xbox, arriving in a Limited Edition package, complete with SCRATCHES ALL OVER IT, or just refusing to work (multiple discs all give the same error).

Somebody in Quality Control needs to be raped by Satan's thorny cock. How much money was spent on this marketing campaign? How much time and effort? Microsoft fucked it all up. Badly.

(how's my wii, you ask? perfect! never gave me a problem. and that metroid prime...wow.)

anyway, some hands, all from the very last session of the day, when the deck hit me in the face:

Brystmar's SSNL instruction guide is very specific on when to push pre-flop with KK/AA. He dictates that I am supposed to fold QQ/AK in this spot! Well, maybe not to a minraise (ferthalovaGAWD), but to a standard-sized pf RR. I guess a guy that min3bets from the BB autocalls here. I'd try to get into his head, just to find out if he put me on AK, but I don't want to be infected. EEEK.

This cocktaster had plainly decided that I was trying to run over the table with aggressive play. He is a dumbass. Tore up the comment box with "loLOLOLLL u suckkkkk" afterwards. Homo. Don't you know I'm untiltable? I'm like Thunder in the fucking Joust, numbnuts.

Not two minutes later, THIS gem happened. Same (cocktasting) villain is a solid TAG. I was pretty sure I had the best hand on the flop, and the turn made it look even sweeter. I thought I was money until he shoved in response to my two barrell, then started filling up the chat box with shit-talk. Fuck you pussy. I know you are drawing to the nut flush. Die in a fire.

Ooops.

WOOT! 4 outer!

and afterwards, I silently left -- a true hit n run assassin.
Comments:
Y-E-S YES YES YES. Good stuff and LOL at bricking -- it's happened to both of my roommates so far (each has their own X360).

Good decisions. I'd definitely pay off that hand where you spiked quads, that's just standard.

I like the hit and run too -- if you've busted the only donk at your table and it's no longer profitable (regulars there, super stations on your left, etc) just bail.

throws smokebomb, assumes prayerlike form, drills self into ground
 
Thanks. It's really hard reading your blog, verneer's blog, papa's blog, dice's blog, and fruity's blog, and then playing against complete retards. I am constantly overadjusting/movemaking. Bad.

Bryst really keeps me grounded. As did John Vorhaus. "play every hand like you're on camera at the World Series." instead of fuck-you-i'm-pushing.
 
Love that Vorhaus quote.
