ā€” A Ballmerable Snowman ā€” Steve Ballmer is led onto a stage in chains and dangerous, he seems to be pacified by a rather large contingent of middle managers. On the other side of the stage, Bill Gates is demonstrating the XBOX 360. The press is eating it up. The audience is on its feet. Suddenly the XBOX bursts into flames. Ballmer sees the flames and reacts with a violent primal rage. He explodes from his restraints with the strength of a hundred men. Rampaging through the audience, he effortlessly tears up rows of chairs, heaving them in every direction. Then, he turns on the people. He grabs each person by their ankles, turns them upside-down, and shakes the money out of their pockets. Bill Gates is speaking over the public adress ā€œPlease remain calm. The situation is under control.ā€ Itā€™s of no use. Panic has ensued. By this time, Ballmer is stomping around the arena, masturbating wildly, and crushing everyone and everything. Few survive. Finally, sweat-drenched and exhausted, he returns to the stage where he cuddles with his harem of developers. ROFL!! šŸ¤£ ---

> [@Violator](#): > > ā€” A Ballmerable Snowman ā€” > ā€¦snipā€¦ šŸ¤£ Thatā€™s Ballmer at any press conference!!! The man is a hyper-active sweatgland. All he does is run around stage screaming and profusely sweating. Its actually unsettling to watch most the time. Back on topic: What Iā€™ve seen so far is that roughly 15% of the systems are having issues with mostly overheating. My one friend picked one up, a bunch of us were playing Perfect Dark til about 5 in the morning (I know, NIIIIIAAAAAHHHH!) and didnā€™t have a single problem. And at the end of all that, I finally took a close look at the system, and it didnā€™t even feel warm to the touch (aside from the air blowing out the back). However, another friend of mine picked up a 360 from the same store, and when he finally started playing it, it would shut down about every 10 minutesā€¦ no matter what he tried. As Minglor said though, Iā€™m not really surprised. The PS2 at launch had a few problems: disc read errors, over heating, etc. And remember the PSPs with the dead pixel issues :roll: The only company that doesnā€™t have any major issues at launch is Nintendo, but theyā€™re Nintendoā€¦ so who cares šŸ˜› ---
