Towels Give Life!

[slycat]

As absurd as it may sound, towels really do fix (temporarily) red ring of death Xbox 360s. I don't really know what's going on inside the box and I'm sure it can't be good for it in the long run, but to stop an Xbox 360 from suffering from the 3 light red ring of death, you just need to remove all cables apart from power, remove the hard drive, wrap up in 3 towels or so, leave the Xbox on for around 25mins and then remove the towels. The 3 flashing lights will have changed to 2 which means the Xbox is overheating. Turn the Xbox off and leave to cool for 15 mins (this sounds like a recipe doesn't it?) before turning on again and enjoying Xbox 360 goodness for a couple of days before it breaks again.

I celebrated by downloading Jeff stinkygoat Minter's new game Space Giraffe. After working out that the combos and multipliers you get from knocking lots of enemies off the grid at the same time is the best way to get a higher score, I've ended up getting a nice 8mil after playing through to level 11 which seems to be quite good in comparison to my friends list.

I will be sending the box back when I can anyway, but I'll most likely do that when I get the box I sent to myself from Pittsburgh with my fursuit feet and tail in it which finally seems to have made it's way to UPS' depot.
