On December 10th, at approximately 12:05 am, “Trina”, my Xbox 360 passed away after less than a year of life. It had as good a death as any Xbox could ask for, freezing right in the midst of a heated battle in Call of Duty 4 on the map Overgrown. It will be survived by myself, Iceman299 and the rest of the Headshot night crew, who will all no doubt find themselves struggling for 3 to 4 weeks before her sister “Megan Good” arrives.

Lets all take a moment of silence and reminisce on all the good times we’ve had together.

Me and Trina loved this one the best. Oh the times we’ve shared in this one, like the time I went 21-0 on Wetwork and…oh god…I can’t go on ;_;

This one came late in Trina’s life, but we enjoyed it all the same. I underestimated the time we’d have together and played through my season sparingly. I know she’ll be smiling from the giant Microsoft Warehouse in the sky when I finally take the Hornets to the Finals.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if this bullshit game killed her. Either way, good times were had in Horde mode, but if I knew that Trina was in her twilight month I wouldn’t have exposed her to the terminal cancer that was the mediocre single player mode.

The moral of this post is to treat every day with your Xbox like it’s your last. You may not think it will happen to you, but IT WILL. No amount of third party cooling units or reduced play time will save your unit from its inevitable, poorly designed fate.

Goodbye, Trina.
