A terrible, terrible thing has happened. I've bought Fable. I like the game, and am quite addicted, as most Fable players are at the moment.

I've gotten to the very last part of the game. The final climactic battle.

I've huge muscles, a powerful battle hammer. The last part was extremely tough. I ducked, rolled, spellcasted, and had the final boss beat to within two hits. I WAS to be the hero and saviour of Albion.

But than something happened. The screen flickered, and I started hearing a crackle. Then the power cord connected to the xbox begin to spark...I jumped over the sparks and unplugged it. A horrtible stench, the stench of a burnt xbox, filled the room.

My xbox is, now of course, broken. I can no longer play Fable. My hours of effort are futile now, as it's impossible to recover the data, or even start the machine. I came so close to beating Fable, saving Albion, something that I've waited four years for the chance to do...a dream I came seconds away from fulfilling.

This is a bad day.

My XBOX!!!! Ahh!!!

Why God, take the Gamecube instead!

Wow, thats pretty intense.

You should write a novel on the wait and the suspense just to reveal an ironic ending in the climax of the story that will turn off readers. I'd read it!

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

Shall we bow our heads in a moment of silence for Vella's great loss?


Just be glad you weren't playing Halo at the time, and it got fried.

Something that terrible, and all you can say is "Oh". At that point, I would be spewing forth profanity unrelentlessly, kicking the damn thing and crying at the same time.

Yeah, I opened it. Electrical shock REALLY kills graphics cards, and hard drives.

I can't play Halo Xbox anymore...At all. No more LANs, frag fests, or gaming parties. No more Xbox Live. I'll have to wait until I have enough to order a new one. Which, hopefully, will be before November...Man, I'd better be able to get one before November...

If you wake up on November 9th to the sounds of my screams reverberating across the globe, just ignore it.

That's gonna suck if all Vella's going to get to do November 9th is look at all the spoiler threads.
