My Xbox just caught on fire! (Update 9)

Sordid History:Update 9:

No word since my dead Xbox hit Kentucky yesterday.

While it's been out, I've hooked my Super Nintendo (SNES) to the projector. Not to sound sacrilegious, but 3-foot Mario is almost better than bigger-than-lifesized Master Chief.

There. I said it.

Besides Super Mario Bros. 3, I'm playing a log of Captain America and the Avengers (of course) X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse, Spider-Man & the X-Men: Arcade's Revenge, and Dr. Mario.

And then Fate dealt me a cruel blow by way of today's mail: The November issue of The Official Xbox Magazine, and its playable demo disc.



Check out the the list of eleven playable demos below (with my highlights in red) -- and I can't play them .. *sigh*
  • Star Wars Battlefront II
  • Need for Speed: Most Wanted
  • L.A. Rush
  • Land of the Dead
  • Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects
  • NCAA Football 2006
  • The Suffering: Ties that bind
  • XBox Live Arcade demos:
    • Think Tanks
    • Marble Blast
    • Atomaders
    • Feeding Frenzy
