Who wants to bet that this $15 original Xenon Xbox 360 (note the lack of HDMI) even works?

I know that it’s a common talking point nowadays to say, “movies are dying, TV is experiencing a creative renaissance,” which isn’t necessarily wrong. I just feel the statement should actually be, “movies are dying, TV and video games are experiencing a creative renaissance”.

bumble beating alex after alex beat leafpool feels like the greatest vindication of all time
Alex DeWitt is a worthy opponent, there is honor in Leafpool's loss to such a venerable foe. From that fight, we walk with pride.
But BUMBLE must go to the top, we're gonna do this lads. How many other times have you seen a horrible murder of an innocent woman FRAMED LIKE IT WAS INEVITABLE BECAUSE SHE WAS FAT?? An extra kill for a 'redeemable' serial abuser because ONE unprovoked slaughter of a different innocent woman wouldn't have been "bad" enough?
Or hell... would that be TOO reasonable? We can't have Gray Wing be wrong and need to learn something; he's gotta be right that this contrived, sounds-like-it-was-made-up-on-the-spot account from Clear Sky is the truth and he only mercilessly slaughtered 1 girl for no reason. Because he was scared.
"Everyone clap at my sweet brother. Beating the shit out of women with less power than him is his coping mechanism for being so sad."
But. Anyway. Hold no anger in your heart for Leafpool's loss. Alex is taking fancy pictures of her with her big ass journalist camera. Leafpool never met a girlie she didn't like. Friends <3

Sméagol and the Gift
'Now!' said Sam. 'At last I can deal with you!' He leaped forward with drawn blade ready for battle. But Gollum did not spring. He fell flat upon the ground and whimpered.
'Don't kill us,' he wept. 'Don't hurt us with nassty cruel steel! Let us live, yes, live just a little longer. Lost lost! We're lost. And when Precious goes we'll die, yes, die into the dust.'
Devastated by this. Just a little longer, he begs. Even though his existence is a torment. Even though the will that holds him to life is barely his own anymore. He has long outlived his time but it's such a cruelty that now the only freedom for him is in death. I'm glad Sam didn't kill him but the whole scenario is awful.
When a mortal keeps a ring of power he does not gain more life, he continues, denied natural mortality as the fear of death is amplified and twisted into fear of separation, nothing matters anymore but the keeping, the continuing. In that miserable existence there is no peace, and at its end there is no graceful goodbye to life, there is only dust. Sudden, empty, and final.
It would take murder to spare him that. Or falling with the ring into the fire.
Bilbo let it go in time (did he feel anything when it was destroyed?) Frodo is freed of it now, though the toll it extracted for the separation was at very least a finger. It was too late for Gollum for the price to be anything other than it was, and that's brutal.
If you live long enough, death is no longer the enemy. What Sauron did to Gollum ensured that it would always be the enemy, to be feared and avoided for ever, once time and the ring had fashioned it into the only escape left. Evil.

why did the xbox 360 have so many problems with the red ring of death ???? i know what the cause of the red ring of death is but Why ???? why did xbox 360s do this seemingly so much with so many people ? like was it just a flaw with the xbox 360 itself ?? because i still remember when the xbox 360 was popular and how people were bitching about how their xbox 360s would just randomly die on them
