It’s probably the most confusing site I’ve ever used. Still looking for that mythical settings page that the guide for changing my account email mentioned.

Good. I use it along with the Bing Rewards for the dribble of XBL points.

You can’t change your accounts e-mail address on Xbox.com. You can only do it on the console. I had the satisfaction of wasting 2 hours trying before I figured that out.

The entire interface is designed to mess you up.

I got suspended for non-payment a couple times and I had to switch between xbox.com and the console about 2 times each to pay.

Not to mention I’m still not allowed to pay for anything.

MS logic:
You owe us money but we won’t let you pay.

Heeeeeeere’s Johnny!

Went to a Cleveland Indian’s game last night. Great game, 7-0 shutout on the Tigers; Slazar was a great pitcher the entire thing.
Nice to actually be there when the Tribe wins one.

Hey comic, how’ve you been?
I have enjoyed the 15 day trial you gave me. Sadly it’ll expire in a few days. Back to the boring dark.

Been great, thanks for asking.

If you can get Ghosts back before it runs out, we could do that Extinction match I never got to finish (if the update doesn’t take up the rest of your trial).
Or Halo 4, one of my gamenights is Saturday night.

Not to make you purchase games all over again though.
And, since my membership doesn’t run out for a few more months, if I find any more trial codes in boxes, I’ll be sure to message them to you.

Lol. Too soon.

Well, I play gold for another account not locked by the non-payment junk so I can download reach later this month, and then I’ll buy the DLC, so no Ghosts for a while.

And my Halo 4 got fungal growth a while back.

Pardon me?

> Pardon me?

Fungi grew on the inner layer.

Somehow…

Well, looks like the little kitten isn’t going to make it. Despite our efforts to stop it the cut has become infected and he refuses to eat. If we’d gotten him an hour sooner he’d be fine.

But if he’s alive tomorrow morning I’ll chalk him up as having survived.

As for the other kitten, I’m tempted to go and steal it before the mother gets her killed too… Though the mothers first kittens turned out fine, so I’m not sure how she managed to screw this group up so royally.

You can, it just takes a minimum of 30 days. Which is silly.

I never was good at navigating mazes.

Gotta agree. Microsoft has given me a headache a time or ten.

Tell me how; I’ve been trying to do this -Yoink- for months.

> Joan Rivers died. Can’t say I particularly liked her, but it’s sad nonetheless. You were right Siul, there have been a lot of celebrity deaths recently.

Just heard on the news. Even though i am not a fan of her, my condolences to the family.

Anyhow, just got out of work, and just messin’ around my laptop. May play some Bejeweled, b/c im too lazy to take out my xbox and play Titanfall. So, how’s everyone today?

I’m just procrastinating right now. I keep telling myself that I’ll get out of that habit, but I never do.

Oh god, Procrastination is a pain to get rid of. Use to have that problem in High School, but got over it, once i hit college.

Got 12 mosquito bites in under an hour while outside last night, and at home noticed I had killed two mosquitoes on my hand.

My Advanced Functions is in room 117 but teacher is very rude, unfortunately. Dislike how they can influence quite a bit your marks, and thus may be a deciding factor on what school you get accepted into.

Is it possible to read other gamertag’s bios on Xbox One? It seems it’s an Xbox 360-only feature.

  • Goes into a class room -
  • Gets asked what fav video game is -
  • Says Halo -
  • Says cool -
  • Other one says COD -
    -Gets praise from teacher -

Someone get me outta here!
