All nintendo products are notoriously indestructible. I've seen a gameboy advance that worked after literally having a bomb go off and bring down the building it was in.
When was this? Where?

A gameboy was in a building that was bombed during the Gulf War.

Funny thing is, the 360 has some of the highest satisfaction rates, despite all of the failing.
In Japan at least.

Anyway, I just woke up at 6:30.
That's good.
What's bad is that I woke up because I had food poisoning and had to sit on the toilet for about ten minutes.
I was also really fuckin' thirsty.
I guess it's good that I never get sick except for the occasional mild food poisoning.

I think he is mistaking the 360 with the Nintendo Wii, which is apparently insanely popular. In a recent poll it was found that 90% teenagers in the world spend most of their leisure time playing with their Wiis. Insanely popular, like I said.

Heh.

I bet they asked only those teenagers that actually have Wiis.

The problem is that that's not a good sample. For example, you know those car insurance commercials? Geico says "People who switch from Allstate to Geico save $500", Allstate says "People who switch from Geico to Allstate save $500". Sounds counterintuitive, right? Paradoxical? The thing is, the sample is biased, because people only switch when they save a large quantity of money - you wouldn't switch if you would lose money or only save $2, right? So perhaps the reason XBoxes have high satisfaction rates is that only people who really, really like XBox games would buy XBoxes, or something like that.

My current cell phone is on it's last legs. It's been overdue for a replacement for ages. I hope I can find a good cell phone to replace it with. I mean, nothing too fancy. I just need something that I can use to keep track of my work schedule and such.

And I also missed most of Star Trek: First Contact thanks to my brother calling me and eating up a good half-hour of my time.

I have been apprehended in my quest to enter Countess Aleissia's bedroom, to nick her pretty things. In fact, I have been apprehended thrice. By her body guard. For five gold a pop. While "invisible". I fucking hate discount spells.

First half of First Contact: Aaaaaargh, the borg are coming, the borg are coming! Never fear, Picard is here! Aaaaargh, the Borg are running away with a time machine, and only Picard can save us! We need Picard, only with the power of his masculine forehead can we hope to defeat his human ancestors.

Second half of First contact: We mock your vastly superior technology and its easily exploited flaws! And Cocram was there...

You didn't miss much...

Also, the Borg have casual time travel technology, which they don't use because, umm, it causes unsightly rashes? Their ruthless borg minds cannot handle the terminology?
