Name that one game, that one evil game that still haunts you in your nightmares. You raged, you died, you didn't want to respawn. What game is it.

Hello everyone, I present you my new map : this remake of the Spirit of Fire from Halo Wars ! It is only an aesthetical remake, I didn't have any block left or any idea od what I could do with that to make something fun with. Moreover, if you go on, I advise you to don't create the lighting or you will have some problem about the shadows, this is the reason why all the pictures were taken in forge.. The map is forged on the "ascendance" skybox because to see all the details it is really better than "exosphere" even if it globally looks better on it.

With the gametype, it is possible to play team showdown. Best wishes Medizinmann92

The fact there is going to be another animated Halo has me hyped. But "animated" is a vague term. How will it be done? Now, some of you might automatically leave the post but.. I'd love another anime like Legends. I felt it needed to adapt parts of the books. If they are going with the anime route then this makes up for that. Maybe Mad House, Studio Bones or Studio I.G. could animate it. Another idea I had that has been boiling inside me is this: A stylized American series. Remember Genndy Tartakovosky's Clone Wars? Imagine something on that scale. This topic was on Bungie.net once. Imagine the Clones as ODSTs https://youtu.be/wmJqgdaTArM I am pretty open about the series. I have not read the novel so this will save me time. As long as the show looks cool I am up for it.

So I've seen and done this myself so I decided to share it with all of you. On the mission Requiem, after killing the Prometheans and going into the Forerunner structure, continue through the halls as usual. Once you get to the last room where Cortana gets obducted, at the far back right side, facing straight forward, go to the right on the corner(A jetpack is needed) and start going down slowly along the wall. It is important that you stay on the corner/wall otherwise you'll die. Go slowly, using the jetpack to go down gradually, and you should stay alive. If not, go slower and make sure to stay against the wall. You should eventually reach the bottom, where it will be sort of foggy with pillars and holes and other cool stuff. There's no way back up that I know of, so once you're done exploring, you'll have to kill yourself to get back up. If you get a checkpoint down there, which I think you shouldn't if you insert Cortana in the system before going down, then you'll have to restart the level, so make sure to insert Cortana first. Have fun!! I don't have a video of this to show so I'll try and find one.

Props to for his thread on repairing and general knowledge of the problem known as Red Ring of Death, or Red Dot of Death. I haven't seen a thread on it, so let's talk avoidance. Here are some tips & tricks to avoid an X-Box 360 systems crash. Keep your X-Box horizontal: This may sound odd, but a lot of X-Box 360's have issues with "disc slip". This is when something jars the console and the game disc inside the console slides out of the tray inside the X-Box. This is most likely to happen with consoles that are vertical (up and down, like this | ) There is very little reason why one wouldn't have their console horizontal (like this _ ), but if for some reason or another you need your console to be vertical, take the disc out when the console is not in use. Ventilation: Keep your X-Box in an area where the vents can grab air. Putting your console on wood is your best bet here. Putting it on carpet or other fabrics is a bad idea, because fabric grabs dust which your console will then pull into itself, clogging it's vents. Putting your console on metal is also a bad idea because metal heats up rather quickly. If you are having problems with ventilation, try putting your X-Box on a laptop cooling fan (which you can usually get at Wal-Mart for around 5 USD). Also, make sure the power cord ventilation box is in an area that it won't overheat as well. Proper Cord Connection: If you have your cords connected loosely, then this can cause extreme wear and tear on your connectors and ports. Always double check that they are connected properly. Remember, "Tight is Right". This goes for both the power and the audio/video cords. Make sure that your power cord is properly connected to your X-Box AND to it's ventilation box. Take the Disc Out: Always remember to take your game disc out of the X-Box 360 console before moving the console. Leaving the disc in while moving your console is bad for both the disc and your console. If you move your X-Box with the disc inside of it, the disc could slip loose of the tray and mess up some innards. Proper Cleaning: The only thing you should use to clean your console is air and a dry rag/q-tip. Do NOT for ANY reason get your console wet. Except for the ports, you can clean those using a SMALL amount of white vinegar (thanks again to Private Church for pointing that out). To clean your console, remove any disc in the tray, unplug ALL cords, and use a can of air or blow into your vents, and use a rag or q-tip to dust the outside. Do not take your console apart unless you know how. Taking your console apart will void any warranty that you have, and could ruin your X-Box. Keep it Cool: Don't put your console in an area that it will have difficulty staying cool in (a sunny area, on top of other electronics, under a blanket, so on and so forth). Also be sure to take a break after a long period of gameplay to give your console time to cool down. Try not to leave your console on all day, or even when you are going to the store. Every time you do this, you are playing Russian Roulette with a RRoD or a RDoD as a bullet. Don't Hit the 360: Light taps are fine, but beating your X-Box is like beating your child. Sure, it may still be okay after a few beatings, but you run the risk of killing it. If you are having trouble with your disc tray, either clean it or bring your console to a professional to have them fix it. Well, that does it for this time. Remember, RRoD's and RDoD's can be a bit random. You can follow all of these instructions and still get one. If you DO get one, see the other thread in this forum, which is dedicated to repairing them. If you have further tips, post them here and I will edit them into this post.

So I came across this video, and I couldn't help but share it with all of you. This is the full first level of H2A, with the cutscenes at the beginning and end. So you get to see the amazing redone versions of that whole intro sequence, one of my favorite scenes from the original H2. But before that is a completely new cutscene set after Halo 4! It features Locke, the Arbiter, and a few Elite Majors. It's very interesting to say the least. The Arbiter's post-H4 look I find rather silly, but maybe that's just me. And here is...part of the level Regret. It has the beginning cutscene, but for whatever reason this guy didn't finish the level. Still, it's about 18 minutes of H2A, should still be enjoyable.

Hello forumers! My second event for all of you (expect my third one in a few days) Following with my tradition to bring life into the calendar I give you... Thanks again Jacko! This event I feel like doing something a bit more newish so I thought of GTA V. Has quite a lot of game modes we can mess about in, kill each other over and over again, race cars and probably kill each other a few more and roam around Los Santos with a lot more killing and running each other over. Murder, it's fantastic! So you want to kill your forum buddies huh? You can kill your friends on the 23rd October (Thursday) at 9pm GMT So who wants to become a wannabe?

Unease P34nut's Curb Stomp Event Halo is our main playdate material. But let's switch things up a bit shall we? Load up your Gnashers and rev up your Lancers because we're going to kill us some grubs. Yeaheahea that's right! Gears of War 3 time!!!! Now here's how this is going to go down. Some people might or might not have this game so I'm going to keep this as simple as possible. Just some rag-tag fun and mayhem in Online Multiplayer, Private Multiplayer, Online Horde and Private Horde ANYTHING YOU LIKE!!! Don't forget to hit that X or Y button from time to time to humiliate your opponents in a gruesome way. So when is this going down? Since my only free day lately is Sunday we're going to keep it that day. Same time, same day.

With E3 Microsoft press conference over it is now time to Recap all the things! We start off with Call of Duty: Advanced Warefare Call of Duty was first to appear at E3 showing an impressive trailer. Showing a set of playable segments showing the following: -Jet packs -Mechs -Matrix style drone swarms -Customisable grenades (EMP, Pulse and Seeking) -A laser type riot shield At least... That's all I noted. The graphics looked amazing but I hope the enemy isn't really that easy to fight. Next up we can already see someone die. Massive spoiler? Also we see how out main character loses his arm in a pretty nicely done cutscene in my opinion. Forza 5 and Horizon 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63JNz7UZYwU With the recent announcements of both games we now get to see what they were talking about. Forza 5 is getting a free DLC which features the Nürenburger track which is an actual existing racing track and put into the game with 100% accuracy. Then (rather quickly) we move on to Horizon 2. Horizon 2 is built off the Forza 5 engine. Which will give us 1080p grahics. They've also implemented a huge amount of sweet looking cars that we will be able to race around in an open world. Want to play with your friends or online? Almost no waiting time due to dedicated servers which will hook you up in not time at all. Next to all that you can create your own club (clan) which can feature up to 1000 members! The game is set to release at September 30th. Evolve Evolve is a class based game in which you have to take down large monsters, with guns and everything of course. Next to 4 player co-op mayhem one will also be able to play as the actual monster to ruin the day of your friends. Expect a lot of IRL hitting! Xbox One owners will get an exclusive beta acces. Get some! Assassins Creed Unity [PEGI 18] A new Assassins Creed title is already coming up! Set during the french revolution. What makes this one different is the fact that you can play the game in a 4-player co-op. We were shown just that on stage. 4 players sneaking around and taking down hostiles together to eventually assassinate the target by throwing him out of a window towards a crowd of blood thirsty people which proceeds to kill him in quite a gruesome manner. One thing I noticed was that the parkour looked a lot better. Smoother and quicker. Then again when the guy walked though a crowd I saw some bumps and it looked iffy. But still plenty of time to fix that right? Next up was a Dragon Age: Inquisition trailer The trailer looked nice but there was little info given. One thing we do know is that is will release on October 7th Sunset Overdrive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iz6pvejrQmg Sunset Overdrive gave us a very fun trailer. The game will be set in Sunset city, which is now overrun by mutated humans. The mutation was caused by an energy drink that the mutants still crave next to your skin. Also breaking the fourth wall was quite prominent. The style of the game is very cartoony with 'boom' and 'splat' appearing in blood or explosions. It also features a lot of parkour and jumping around while shooting the absolute -Yoink!- out of everything in your path, mutants and hostile humans alike. I enjoyed the trailer very much Sunset Overdrive will feature a 8 player co-op mode on dedicated servers in which you'll cause absolute chaos! The release date is set on the 28th of October. Capcom 31st anniversary Capcom decided to give us a DLC for Dead Rising 3 with a title so long that I wasn't able to put it down on paper... Featuring all of the Capcom Characters in a arcade game. You can even play as tofu! What more do you want to hear from me?! TOFU!!! You can play together with 3 other friends as of now. Because the game has been released JUST NOW! Dance Central Spotlight Dance your heart out in the new Dance Central title. Although the guy who presented it didn't look like dancing to me... Dance to all the popular songs coming September. Digital release only. Fable Legends Fable Legends will send us back to the world of Albion and we'll get to see some old friends and corny jokes. The game will feature 4-player co-op and each player can invoke a different role which each different skills. There can also be a villain player that can ruin your day by placing traps and monsters around every corner. Griefers eat your heart out! Project Spark Project Spark has already had a beta in which we could get familiar with the game. This game allows you to do absolutely everything! Make you own game, create your own world, create anything you like from the ground up! Our little friend Conker also made a brief appearance... Interesting. Ori The game Ori was showcased in a very touching trailer. The style reminded me of Limbo, only this game is very colourful. Dem feels ;-; The Master Chief collection https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iGcS-0KpVw Holy -YOINK!- This is just about everything we had been hoping for. We started of with a trailer for the next Halo. We heard the Arbiter and saw the mysterious spartan which now has a name, Agent Clarke. Agent Clarke is in search of the Master Chief but the role of the Arbiter is still a bit shady. Is he searching too? But lets not forget everything leading up to Halo 5. That's why 343i is releasing the Master Chief collection. One disc that features all the previous Halo games with all the content unlocked and more. The Disc will contain: Halo CE: Anniversary With the original multiplayer instead of the Halo: Reach version Halo 2: Anniversary Which features a remade campaign, multiplayer and achievements Halo 3 Which features all DLC content. Maybe even Flaming helmet? Halo 4 Which features all DLC content. Maybe even all pre-order armours? A live action series called Halo: Nightfall A beta acces key for Halo 5 arena which will be available this ummer 4000 gamerscore. Happy hunting! All this can be accesed from just one single disc seamlessly and will release the 11th of November Inside https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTK1QtmHACg A trailer for Inside was shown. The game is set in a world in which everyone is controlled by automatons. You play as a boy who is still free. The game is similair to Limbo as it is created by the same developers. A whole load of games coming to the Xbox One is show... Too much to all write down... Sorry! Tomb Raider https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kLAyzmWnk4 A trailer for Tomb raider is shown. Of course you still play as Lara Croft. Not very much is shown next to that. The Witcher 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVlE8BXEbpE The developers of The Witcher 3 show us a bit of gameplay 10 hours into the game. They hunt down a monster in a very very large world. Because of this open world it is very likely that you side track slightly. By bandits for example. The game will also feature interactive dialogue. Killer instinct https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnhEeZY75C0 This game made a brief appearance in the pre-show. Not much else was done during the conference. Phantom Dust A trailer for Phantom Dust is shown. This will be a fighter game. The Division https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWJD8DMasCU Although this game has been delayed the developers showed a bit of gameplay. Starting off below ground they show us a holographic map which shows where you are between the buildings and streets around you and a holographic image of thing that happened in the past. Upon contact with enemies you AI friends will actually have a lot of actual dialogue. Reacting directly to things happening around you. Also I liked the style very much! Scalebound Scalebound showed us a trailer with a lot of monsters fighting and of course the character you play as gets involved to. Fighting with a headphone on blasting some fitting music. Not much else is shown. Crackdown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqWvvmgFDt4 Crackdown makes a return! Featuring better graphics, but keeping the old style. Play with a friend in a open world on dedicated servers. The trailer also showed a lot of destruction, will we be able to destroy buildings in this world? This conculdes everything shown at the conference. I will try to add the trailers and gameplay video as they appear to fill up the games that didn't have that much info. Speculate down below! Thank you for reading! View full article

16th of February again, animated movie review again. /o/ This was an awesome movie. Legit. No lie. Cool cast too, but there's much more than that in this story. The Lego Movie tells the tale of Emmet, an ordinary guy in an ordinary world who is swept out of the world he knew in order to save it, in the process learning of so much more, and most importantly who he is - the special. First off, as much as it is a new adventure, this movie is also so satirical and referential that even if you find it too kiddy to be good, you'll probably like many of the jokes, whether they be the ones you understand immediately, or those that really need quite a bit of focus to understand. "He's the hero you deserve." -Batman. Art and animation are great. This movie is fully animated, except for certain plot point scenes that I'll explain later. It emulates stop motion to the point that you could easily fool many, but at the same time the flow and continuity makes sure that it also looks good, clean and concise. I love the way how even things like water are represented by clear lego bricks. Story wise, the plot is at times a bit cliché, and I did find one nagging problem that in the end didn't matter. Many of the characters are outsourced, but at the same time are unique and lovely. All of them do a good job in contributing to the movie, providing humor, and many other things. Vitruvius (Morgan Freeman), for one, was pretty awesome. Note: The following thing is a spoiler. That's why its in spoiler tags. If you don't want to be spoiled, don't click it. Music is pretty cool. The electronic beats fit in well for a stopmotion feel, but at the same time manage to convey the emotions the characters feel quite well. "Everything is Awesome" is very catchy, and despite the way it's sung by the characters emulates a massive musical, those scenes are just fun. In fact, almost all the scenes are fun - there's so much in it that is pretty much a giant set built together by hand, that you can practically understand it all. Rather than seeing a building, you're seeing a building you can build. You're seeing a car you can build. Watching it all come together is just cool. Overall, I would say go and watch it if you haven't. I give it 9-10/10, the dip in score purely because the final, final epilogue event that happens I dislike, and everything else was just fun. Love it.

Nintendo's Wi-Fi service will be no more after May 20th. This news was announced in an Australian press release and was later confirmed by a Nintendo representative to be worldwide termination of the service. Although you will no longer be able to race world wide in Mario Kart, or see someone's village who is far away in Animal Crossing, Nintendo will still allow access to both the Wii's Shop Channel and the DSi Shop. So you will still be able to purchase and download digital titles following May 20. Nintendo also released, on their Australian website, a list of Nintendo published games that will no longer have online access enabled. Also note that 3DS and Wii U games will be unaffected by this. So was it time for Nintendo to close the door on the Wii and DS's Wi-fi services? Will this encourage you to now buy a Wii U or a 3DS? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

As the leaves fall and Halloween passes, ('cept for you southern hemisphere types, but you've got it all backwards) we look to a new month, a new MoM. This is the month of Thanksgiving, the calm before the storm, the anchoring up shelter for the fast approaching winter. This month we have a member that is fairly new. But he has warmed the hearts (and other...parts...also perhaps types of bread) of the members and has made many good friends. A regular in the ShoutBox, he never hesitates to offer sage advice, crack jokes, or just be an all around funny guy. Master of video editing, and capture man extraordinaire, we present to you... :thumbup: Bnus!!! :thumbup: We hope you enjoy your month in the tried and true Minus Green Bnus! Keep doin' what you're doin'!!!

Ok, let's get to the point shall we you inferior bunch. I'm not gonna waste my time making it dramatic like the other candidates, even though they're gonna lose I lack the knowledge to why they bothered in the first place. I don't really mind about wasting your time making you read this piece of art amazingness no... crap, yup that fits it perfectly. Ok right, well, as the smarter individuals of your pathetic human race know, I was nominated once again (seriously, how many times have I pulled out at the last moment?), it's kinda become a sort of brainwashed tradition. Whoever started it without my knowledge, I applaud you. *clap* To the less beings, the statement above in short terms means I'm going for the Dictatorship Presidency of the Forums. If you can't understand that for the lack of brain power. I'm going to win is all you need to know. Since the birth of time it was known that I would claim this day as my own, a day of a new dawn, a new darkness and a new terror joyfulness and bliss. You can see the proof below if you don't believe me, which would be a foolish mistake of you since I am just never wrong, I am always correct, I just choose to bend it a little. From that day onwards the Grand Matriarchs lived in awaiting, praying that the day of hope would come soon as the darkness was slowly making a return to the known world. That darkness being any other candidate voted into position. On 9/10/1995 a child was born and raised in a household of beings called humanity, these creatures took care of this blessed soul, they did not realise his potential was so great and halted his greatness in so many areas it was disgraceful,. but then, they came to the realisation that when he started to achieve greatness in his life such as the Great Journey to the Realm of Outside, the Search for the long lost Model Train, the suffering endured due to the Great Tree fall and the Inner self discovery of the love for massively ring shaped super weapons. These achievements were seen as triumphs for all of mankind, and he was revered from then on. However, his greatness came at a terrible price as when he found himself alone in his room on a powerful invention called the Great Computer of Power. This beast with an Intel Pentium core processor allowed him to travel the Sea of Bytes & Bits to the Land of Google. Eventually his great journey ended him up in the place of 343i.org. This discovery made him feel at home, his presence shocked thousands around him, no one had heard of his whereabouts for such a long time that he had turn back into a being of legend. His quick revival allowed him to seek the status of MoM in such short time, his greatness was viewed by all, which allowed him later in his life to take on the Continent of Facebook adminship. He settled down later to let others take over such great challenges, none which would ever be as momentous as his history. He then started to drain away his eternal life on the site, reporting, gaining oh so many sweet awards, and that unreachable 148000+ shouts, to which this day has passed over 151000 shouts. Obtaining Twam's rare slice of pizza without even being a moderator. Gaining the greatest amount of profile views the site has ever laid its puny eyes upon. His incredible quality of posts was admired by all, every, single, last, one of them. All of those 1000 or so Offbeat posts were totally legit and good alright? Kthx He then started to lead a peaceful life that reached over 200 days on the site, that was the light touched the shadow. A new dawn became apparent, the Title of Forum Ruler shall be his. He silently left subtle messages into peoples minds knowing one day that it'll come to great use when needed. He then started to prepare for the Great Election which he is destined to win, it cannot change, it is a fixed point in history that can never be undone. So just give up already other candidates. He promised 3 things from the birth of time itself; 1. Free rashers of Bacon to those who vote and continue to support his almighty greatness. 2. Freedom from the Grandmapocalypse, the nightmare that lurks under our feet, in which the other candidates have no hope in challenging. Which is shown below of their horror. 3. Total control over the inferiors, controlling those weak enough to look after themselves and also controlling those who think they can look after themselves. This is the day of change my friends subjects. It is a new era, an era of pain, suffering and control. You will not be in 'happiness' under the leadership of others, you only hope is to follow the cat of truth and see that I am your true savoir.

Hello, I just noticed today, my Oddball, King of the Hill, and Community Forge Island are now gone from my War Games list, but can only be obtained in Team Objective now. They disappeared just today, anyone have help or a solution? This is for Halo 4

So..... Hi. ....I have to write more than that, don't I? This forum is too similar to the other one which I frequent about; there it's a full site based arounds fans of a toy series (Bionicle; I'm sure you know it) and here its based around a mutual love for Halo. And over on that site, I write tons. Comedies to RPing, whatever. So anyways, I first came here about a month ago (I think. I don't actually keep track of time; I let my calendurr do that.) after being introduced to 343i.org from halocustoms.com, which I learned of after complaining about lack of people who play customs in my timezone, on Halo Waypoint forums. I was also on my last ban 'life', due to the amount of sarcastic replies I've did to all the severely STUPID people on their Halo 4 subforums, people who range from asking silly questions like 'when is th nex spart ops coming out', to complaining about the game (More specifically about things that kill them) all the way to complaining about people who complain about the game, stating that they weren't helping the game despite the fact that those complaining about the game probably did more contribution than those complaining about complainers. So then one day, I don't know what I did apart from maybe say 'I think you're new to XBL because there's a friends list' which might be classified as calling another person out - after the person did the exact same thing, except with a little more 'you're an idiot' style of writing. So then I got perma-banned. Goodness, opened my eyes as to how stupid most of the people are apart from the single off-topic thread....which consists of people who simply don't care about Halo 4 due to how bad it is and won't bother visiting that place full of idiots. Anyways, yeah. I got here that way. More stuff about me? Uh.... I have a youtube channel? Dunno if that counts. I'm chinese? Probably a bit more. If you see me online, don't ask about why I don't have a chinese accent. I'm lazy? Probably the most annoying thing about myself I don't like - which I don't really bother to change. I have lots of school work but tend to just use entertaining technology more than studying?.....Nope. Not that useful. Hmm, How about in-game? I play CALL OF DOODY (YEAH NOOBS DIE DIE SUFFER FROM MY ANTI-CAMPER GUNZZZ) because I find it fun, I play Battlefield 3 (Hehehehehe) because I love games that feature massive maps, jets, tanks, helicopters, AC-130's, except without killstreaks, and allow you to both use teamwork - and troll so damn hard. And also it has dedi servers. I play Assassins Creed, was for some time entertained by TC's GRFS, and finally feel sad that I missed the golden days of Halo 3. Although back then I was a squeaker, and being the competitively lazy fun (Less on the last bit. I'm not actually fun to be around, I think, I just like to have fun) guy I am, everyone was a hacker. That was how I played my first month of Reach, my first Xbox 360 game. Then I became good, and usually ended up at the top of each lobby in the games. Hopefully I trashed a bunch of the people who reported me when I was in my denial stage. So then I bought Halo 3 ODST and, magic trick? It was more fun than Reach. Except for Forge and Customs. and MAaaaaybe campaign. Although that's because I like campaigns where there are good teammates. Especially female driver teammates. In any case, I stunted my growth just so I could have crazy fun when Halo 4 came out. Big mistake, because it was fun for about 2 days, during which I destroyed everyone. Then all the bad stuff started appearing. Now all I do is just play customs, forge, go trolling on Black Ops 2, and watch anime. Hi. You may call me JL. Pleased to meet you, whoever you are.

I think Stairway to Heaven with some Documentary would be Perfect! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcL---4xQYA

Hey Guys ..And Gals. I am new here and got a exceptionally warm welcome from you people.Hoping i have came to the right place here's the preview of a Book i am writing based on the Precursor History. The Book's name is "Halo: Fall of the Gods" and the name of the first chapter is " The Gods Themselves". Hope you like it. ---------------------------------------------Start-------------------------------------------- ONE The Fall of the Gods Our History was never told. We, like all other civilizations died in the pages of history. But we were not like all other civilizations. We Preserved Life, We made life and we sometimes even destroyed it if necessary .We followed the ideas of the sacred Mantle.... But I think it was our only mistake. Our life and work was devoted to this task. Spanning the universe and protecting the seeds of Birth. But We Faced an immense threat. A threat faced by almost every civilizations . We face the threat of a war with our own kind. Our Empire was soon divided into two factions - one which saw the Mantle as its true Job and one which saw it as a Useless undertaking. I was on of the Former ones. We Knew this moment was coming, we know Mantle was a difficult undertaking. We Knew How can we Preserve it. And we knew the war may mean an end of Our kind. Another Task was Undertook. We Started Building a new species using the knowledge we have gained from The Mantle .We Started Shaping our own Successors from the roots . We used only the best Genotypes we got from the preserved species. We even implanted our own knowledge in the form of the Krilias (Translation Index/Closest Match::"Voices"). It took us more than 36 Milleniums (Translation Index/Meaning::"5616 Human Years") and the time and hard work of more than 10,000 individuals to build the first of the test species . We named them The Forerunners. But the Forerunners proved unsuitable for the task we had in our minds. They lacked the understanding our task required . The first sample was tested on an abandoned World in the star system of Shaderest. For the First few thousand millenials there was no change. They lived primitive lives and Lacked The basic brain structure we required. Then we Introduced our own technology into their still primitive social structure. We waited . Within 100- 200 millenials we had a species capable as us. The Forerunners Became powerful and intelligent with our own technology. But that's not what the Project was for. We wanted to programme a species that can perpetuate its own knowledge but with just a small tincture of our own capabilities. The Forerunners were not what we expected. So we undertook the same task again. We Started building another species with some physical patterns of the forerunners but with Special Programming Patterns instead of the Krilias and this time we didn't introduce any of our technology. We named these The Humans. Unlike the forerunners, they evolved in about 800 millenials, and that too without our technology. They invented their own tools and Rough Weapons. Within about 3000 more millenials we had a species more capable and powerful than us. They invented technology similar to ,but a little downgraded than ours. We hid the proofs of our existence from them to make sure of uninterrupted evolution. We Completed our task. Now our only task was to wait for the war. We Became the Most hated term of the precursors. We Became the Gods Ourselves. ------------------------------------------End----------------------------------------- Thanks for reading.

As many of you know, the Red Ring of Death (RRoD) is something that plagues almost all Xbox 360 users at one time or another. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the RRoD, here is a brief (or not so brief) explanation. Xbox 360 consoles are power hogs. When paired with a lame cooling fan, power hunger is a no-no. And so, due to overheating, many consoles face an infamous problem: The RRoD. When the console overheats, several key components to the 360 can be easily damaged, causing the RRoD. There are four different types of RRoD, each one discernible by the number of illuminated red rings. These rings are the green controller indicators, but when the RRoD is in play, they flash red. The most commonly seen RRoD is the three ring malfunction. This indicates a general hardware failure. In this RRoD, when the system overheats, the solder which normally makes connections between components on the motherboard heats up to a degree where it actually begins to bend the board, causing the solder to flow in opposite directions, interrupting the electrical connection within the board. The board bends due to two components on the board: the clamps (commonly known as X-clamps) that hold the two cooling heatsinks on the CPU (core processing unit) and GPU (graphics processing unit) in place. These overly flexible clamps bend in the surplus heat, and the board bends with them. Another RRoD is the two ring error. This is a last-ditch, built-in failsafe for your 360. When it begins to flash two red rings, it is warning you that your console is getting WAY too hot, and that general hardware failure will be imminent unless you shut down your 360. The four red ring error can have several meanings. The most common occurrence is when your component video cable, HDMI cable, or the slots in which they fit in, become built up with dust and/or grime, or your cables are broken, and are unable to make a connection. Another problem which can cause the four RRoD is an overheat issue. This overheat problem results when the heatsink paste (a special paste that is spread on the GPU and CPU chips to spread the heat evenly) hardens, or is not spread evenly. This causes the chip to heat up dramatically when in use for only a short period of time, and, if unnoticed/left unfixed, your GPU will burn out, rendering your 360 permanently inoperable. And last, the one ring error. This RRoD is most commonly identified by an E74, E76, or E79 error displayed on the screen. This occurs when your North Bridge chip (this chip acts as a interpreter of sorts, it communicates with both the CPU and GPU) overheats, and scrambles the communication between the CPU/GPU and the rest of the system. There are many possible fixes for each RRoD. There are several fix kits that works the best for repairing both 3 RRoD and 1 RRoD (available here: http://xbrdepot.hostedbyamazon.com/). I have repaired many consoles by means of these kits (**WARNING** Do not attempt this if you do not view the INSTRUCTIONS available on the same website). And yet even it is not the only option. Some people simply overheat their 360 again in an attempt to restore solder connection. For the 4 RRoD, some people just clean their slots/cables with vinegar, which often works. Or a replacement cable may be necessary. Sometimes you need a new 360 if the cable slots are actually damaged. There is an option for repairing the burned out GPU also. You can buy a replacement one online, and after overheating your console to loosen the solder, you can remove and replace your GPU (**WARNING** Do not attempt this if you do not have INTENSIVE EXPERIENCE with repairing electronics). For two RRoD, your best bet is to immediately power off your 360, and hope for the best . There is also a NEW error, found only in the Xbox 360 slims, known only as the RDoD (Red Dot of Death). This new error means general hardware failure, but in this event, it is practically unfixable. There are many people working on trying to develop a fix for it, but at this rate, not enough consoles suffer from it for it to become a big deal. The only method i know of that "fixes it" is to overheat your console. Now this thread is for posting your experiences with the RRoD, telling funny stories of how you were "...only THIS far away from ________, when the infamous red ring..." and for asking for technical help/advice on how to deal with YOUR RRoD. CYA on the forums! -Church
