2012 brings new things to discover as well as uncertainty about the future. It also brings more of that 2012 doomsday BS that has been running rampant the past few years, despite common sense and scientists actually proving that the predicted Mayan doomsday will not happen! But that still doesn't stop idiots like Discovery Channel, History Channel, Patrick Geryl and other morons from continuing to shove their doomsday shows and books down our throats!

Since the world will end in 356 days from now (we are in a leap year, so we have the 29th of February), I've decided to have my own fun with this "phenomenon". Don't worry, I'm not going to talk about how the earth will suddenly reverse its magnetic fields or anything like that. I lack the intelligence to make sense of that stuff.

The reason for this title if I'm not going to talk about 2012? A certain 80's song that critics think is probably the worst song in history.

It seems like it doesn't matter how well you keep your Xbox 360 in a good mood. That Red Ring of Death will creep up somewhere. And it did for my 360.

This is really bad. I don't have ANY money to send it to Microsoft, nor can I get a new one. My 360 knew I had no money, so the dirty piece of crap decided to conk out on me!!

DAMN YOU, BILL GATES!!

    I once got it.... well my brother got it on my xbox, but when I tried it again, it returned to normal after I unplugged the adapter and plugged it back in again.

    I did read about that in some web pages I seen when searching for an alternative to sending the thing to Microsoft.

    My 360 was in a spot where I stood it up horizontally, but my cable box and Vista computer was next to it. Before I got it, I tremoved it from that spot and placed it horizontally on a table in front of my TV.

    Wow, dang. What great timing huh? The Red Ring of Death will come with no warning. And you are out of action for a few weeks. Thank goodness you don't play Live often. That would be really bad. It hasn't happened to my brother yet. But when it does, he won't be too happy about it. He recently got his XBOX 360 though. He hasn't gotten it for very long.

    Hopefully you will get it fixed soon. It should be still under warranty.

    Your brother better do EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER to make sure he's RROD free. And I ain't sending my Xbox 360 to Microsoft. They charge too much, they keep your system for months and I have heard that sometijes they give you a refurbished 360 that they have managed to "fix". In fact, I've heard that Microsoft doesn't really get rid of the problem. They just get it to where it's back to normal and give those systems to people who have had it before.

    Really? Dang! That isn't fair at all. I thought they really "fix" your system and give it back. I didn't know they will end up getting you a refurbished one. That is messed up! The things that Microsoft will do. I swear...

    Well that is good that you are not going to send it Microsoft. I did hear they charge a lot!

    Oh yeah my brother had his since 2008. So it wasn't so recently, lol. And he said he has the newest line of Xbox 360. So they don't Red Ring often.
