Tbh, i for one hate having insects and reptiles as pets. Rather have a pet thats playful or soothing to watch (thats the personal aquarium)

I also like to capture and keep spiders or mantis. And then feed them bees.

Edit: And snakes too, if I find them.

And I’m currently spamming Reach custom challenges like a boss.

> I cannot believe, for the life of me that out of all the Xbox One consoles, i had to get the one with the Disc Driver problem/Insert Disc Glitch. Ugh…my mind is blown right now.

lol. Same thing happened to me. I literally stood in place for a good minute when I heard the clanking. I was devastated.

I already had to send in my Xbox One and PS4 at least once.

The reason I had to send in my PS4 was because my console couldn’t properly install Tomb Raider. The console made the weirdest whistling sound ever. 0_0

Anyway, I hope they will let you switch your console.

Whoa…now thats something. Currently im chatting with Support and see if they can do anything b/c at this point its the ODD (optical disc drive) and hope they can resolve it there. Bad for me, b/c i tore up the box after i got it from gamestop, so to return it is gonna be a pain in the rear. Yet, exchanging it i hope or may go with MS’s guarantee with turning in the xbox and get free games

EDIT: It appears ill be sending it back to MS for repairs, but im a patient man so no worries there

That’s good. I would look into getting a free game out of this ordeal however. I was able to grab a free copy of Dead Rising 3, which is one of the best Xbox One games so far in my opinion. However, I did have to call up Xbox a couple times because the email for the game code wasn’t being sent to me properly. :confused:

> If I said “I love you” what would you reply with?

I would say:

Let’s be honest, you don’t actually think that way.

I don’t have any pets nor am I planning on having one…

I would contest that.

There’s a raccoon in the tree right outside my window. We’ve been staring at each other for the longest. I think we just soul bonded.

Talk about jinxes, I just walked my face through a spider web.

So, Shadow of Mordor is pretty cool. Although, the nemesis system is a bit weird. I thought you would have ONE unique enemy that pop up time and time again, but so far, I think I’ve managed to accumulate at least three. Even weirder, I don’t think you can kill them with anything less than decapitation.

If Halo escalation is running more that 12 issues and is becoming a full ongoing series I don’t think I can keep buying the issues separately.

Crap, Well Switching to the Hard Cover editions.

Unless Microsoft makes Window 10 exactly like Windows 7 with only improvements (NO ADDITIONS!), I don’t care.

> Ugh, one of those guys… Get a puppy like normal people!

A puppy costs a lot of money, a lot of time, and a lot of effort. An insect usually doesn’t live long enough to cost any of that.

> Unless Microsoft makes Window 10 exactly like Windows 7 with only improvements (NO ADDITIONS!), I don’t care.

[sarcasm]
You know, if you substitute Halo 5 Guardians for Windows 10, Halo 2 for Windows 7, and imagine H4 as Windows 8, there are a lot of parallels.

Most of the fanbase hated Microsoft’s 2012 release designed to overhaul the series; its new features were generally disliked.

Now, in late 2014, Microsoft is preparing a very early beta to get consumer feedback for its 2015 release which is going to bring the series back to its roots and try to please the hardcore crowd that don’t want change.

It’s apparent that people want Microsoft to just keep rereleasing the same old software over and over, because change is the last thing that should happen. I’ll bet if Microsoft released H5G as H2.1 and Win10 as Windows 7.1, they’d both sell big.
Halo 2 and Windows 7 every year! Yay!!!

Sweet, Battlefield 2: BC, is one of the free games this month. Only ever played 1942, so I want to try this.

I feel your pain, I had to send my xbox one to MS for repairs last month, but I have it now, and it only took three weeks for it to get back.

> Sweet, Battlefield 2: BC, is one of the free games this month. Only ever played 1942, so I want to try this.

you will love it! sniper feels so good

Well, looks like the little kitten from a couple weeks back didn’t make it :frowning:

The momma was out with a kitten, but not the kitten (the first time we’ve seen it since the incident). This kitten is calico, and boog was just black and white. Can’t imagine she’d bring one out but not the other.

Now I wish I’d kept the little guy…

Oh… Now I’m feeling sad thinking about the little guy.
I’m sorry about the kitten- it seems like they’re some of the most injury-prone animals I’ve ever seen. It’s worse because they’re some of the sweetest and cutest.

Would it be a bad time to make a headstone?..Too late
I’m a terrible person
