Hi, your favorite killing droid here once again, IG-88. Now I'm here to get some steam off my circuits about the X-Box 360. Believe it or not, I do like to play video games from time to time. I know I wasn't programmed to, but it's a hobby of mine. I already have a PS3, which I bought with accumulated Imperial Credits from various bounties of green Mexican aliens that can't shoot Han Solo from two feet away. Anyway, I bought the X-Box 360 for 200 Imperial Credits. It's probably the cheapest game system I have ever purchased, but now I can see why. First off, the controller is too big. My hands are big to begin with, but you know, it really grinds my hardrive because the damn thing is too fat in your hand. Who do they think I am, Chewbacca? Anyway, the controller is also confusing. There's the standard four buttons on the right side and there's a start and select button but then there's these two extra white and black buttons. Why do we need them? Isn't eight buttons enough (counting the two on the back of the controller)? Most of the time they do jack shit, so it's basically just a waste of electronics that could be put to some good use, like making more astromech droids to help modify my ship? Anyway, the games also suck ass as well. All they have are first person shooters. Well, first off, I'm not a person, and secondly, I do that enough as it is. Why would I shoot pixels for fun when I can go out and blast some Ewoks? A droid could use a little variety sometimes, like some nice platforming games. Which the PS3 has tons of. The main problem is the Red Rings of Death. I mean, imagine if about after a year my optical lense cameras turned into big red X's and I just stopped working. Then you have to send me to the shittiest customer support ever that keeps you on hold for three hours with annoying elevator music. My circuits overloaded with so much frustration I ended up doing this to both the phone and the X-Box

I even heard the failiure rate for them was as high as 33%!!! X-Box Live is also annoying, all the people who get on yell into their mics which really screws up my sensor arrays, and if you kill them even once they get all Wookie on your ass, or for me my rear ended waste extractor. One annoying 11 year old human kept calling me things so I sent a wave of dead pulses through the mic and it killed him. Everything humans build is defective. Like the X-Box 360.

What exactly is that robot from?
The background makes it look like he should be familiar, but I don't recognize him.

He's a Star Wars assassin droid, and well I'm not sure where that is but he was in the N64 game Shadows of the Empire
