Silly Xbox
Jul 2nd
So I’ve been spending a lot of time relaxing lately, not the sort of relaxing where I get any work done, but the unproductive relaxing. You know the kind normally incorporating watching many mindless videos on Youtube and playing some sort of game system. As a proud owner of an Xbox I spent the better part of…Tuesday I believe, playing through the original Mass Effect, just for the hell of it. Unfortunately that was cut short by the fact that I seem to be cursed by the almighty gaming gods. The next day I start up my Xbox after taking about an hour break and it proceeds to give me the message “Open Tray” every time I put a disk in its unforgiving gullet. For those of you who don’t own an Xbox, that basically means not only is not loading the disk but it isn’t even recognizing there is anything in the tray.
Just for the kicker I had a nearly identical problem before, causing me to send it in for $100 because the warranty had run out. Ended up being a pretty good deal for me since they simply sent me a new Xbox along with a month free of Gold membership as some sort of apology. I was happy with the service but it left me uneasy about the hardiness of the Xbox. Don’t get me wrong I still love the damn thing, but having this happen again is a little more than annoying. Thankfully since it is actually a new Xbox it is still under warranty, so free repair for me, but I am finding myself at a loss in my free time. I mean it’s good for me, and it will get me to work more, but at the times where my brain is fried and I can barely think let alone do any sort of art, there isn’t very much to do other than stare at the wall.
Well as a consolation I actually have something to post today guys, if you’re interested that is. Check it out down below, this is a disgruntled gamer, signing off.

Hey Hey!

Hey everybody! Unfortunately still not much has been going on, which is basically my explanation why there hasn’t been a post in three days. Mostly I have been on that new social writing site I joined, very interesting, nice to have my writing out there. Also had to delete a spammer off the site, registered under what appeared to be a legit name and e-mail, then proceeded to spam, what fun. But I suppose we could always just do some small talk like we are on some sort of awkward date. That sound good to you? Good. So um…how bout that oil spill? Yeah little too morbid for me too. World Cup? We Americans done pretty well so far considering, nice to see some interest in soccer in America finally. Yeah I got nothin to talk about here guys, I very much apologize. Also don’t have a drawing so ya know what, here’s a link to the first chapter of my story. Also make sure to check out any of our content you haven’t read. This is Zamic signing off.
Also here’s one of my favorites from the guy over at 3mims, just wanted to give ya guys somethin to listen to since ya didn’t have to much to read. Enjoy.
Protagonize
Jun 18th
This is Zamic here, just here for a real quick announcement. I mentioned in a post a little while back that I had been working on a story, and I have mentioned a few times that the two major things I am focusing on this summer is my drawing and my writing, both story-wise and in here. Today, I took it upon myself to find a place that I could put some of this writing out onto the interwebs, and I ended up deciding on a site called Protagonize. Writing sharing sites don’t seem to be as popular as art sharing sites, probably because it is easier to fake someone else’s work as your own. Anyway I made an account on there, and just posted essentially the first “chapter” of what I have been working on. If you are in the least bit interested in my other writing, or are just bored, go check it out. And keep checking back, as long as the link is there in the sidebar, I am probably still posting. Just wanted to let you all know, oh and make sure to check out Ulaaran and my latest posts here on FranticGorilla, we sort of had a surge of them. This is Nick signing off.
