Unearthing so many memories of clutching my gameboy in the back seat and dozing off with it. That feeling of being powerless and adrift, yet in motion nonetheless and holding on to whatever little thing it is that I know and understand and love.

There was a period of time when I would have saved this particular xbox model from a fire, and been left with nothing else. Perhaps I too would have fallen asleep holding it, not knowing where I’d be when I woke up. Absolutely marvelous work as always, thank you

I could never play the Gameboy color in the car, damned motion sickness. I tried to read the little booklets for the game I just bought for it by the street lights. Also motion sickness. I loved you, Gameboy color. You were cool.

"I always thought you were cool"

You are going to love Tunic.

Just wrap it in a towel and put it in the oven.

You can't fix bad chemistry with a towel. (Insert your own toweley meme here because I can't)

Nvidia's borked solder balls is what caused this. The company's handling of the situation is why Apple stopped working with them, and only used AMD/ati until Apple started making their own.

I mean that's how I fixed my RROD.

This post is a picture of young me with my 360 in the car. Rrod and all.

I wish I knew how to game, but I'm secretly bad at computers

Feels like Garland's civil war, but with an Xbox.

Shit, I've been recently been playing reTHAWed on PC (Linux/wine) and now I can use my old 360 copy for this exploit!
