1. Open mouth.
2. Insert pickle no more than a couple of inches past mouth opening.
3. Safety.
4. Close mouth, using teeth to chomp off some of the pickle.
5. Remove the rest of the pickle from the facial area.
6. Open and close the jaws of the mouth repeatedly, utilizing the tongue to keep the chunk of pickle currently in the mouth between the teeth.
7. Once the chunk of pickle in the mouth has turned to mush, swallow.
8. Repeat as necessary until the whole pickle has been eaten.
9. Wait a couple of dozen hours or so, then head to the bathroom …
Hides within the comforting walls outside the Asylum.
Me neither; my brother has a 360 and his got the Red Ring of Death awhile back. The Gamecube I’ve had for twice as long and it never broke, nor did the N64, Gameboy, nor Wii game system.
Not saying Nintendo products invincible, that’s impossible, but durability-wise they’re ALOT better then most game systems.
In case the OP doesn’t already know this: for both RRoD and error E74 (one flashing red segment), Microsoft extends the Xbox warranty to 3 years. In these situations, they will even provide pre-paid shipping labels and arrange for pickup. Details are at http://www.xbox.com/support .

Cartridge-based Nintendo systems are invincible, except NES and the GBA/DS line. Disc drives unfortunately are delicate and they just don’t make ‘em like they used to.
(Even then, NES could take a beating, and the accessories and games were invincible… that damn cartridge connector just sucked. Easily fixed though with some tinkering.)
I did manage to break an N64 controller once, but it took a LOT of work.
I broke every N64 controller I’ve ever had for a decent length of time. Not on purpose. Just through the intensity of my game-playing. Although not the controller in it’s entirety, just the analog stick.
actually you would be surprised house hold hackers decided to make a video (its on YouTube) and destroyed many items. one of the items was an xbox they had to hit with a sledge hammer four or five times before they actually managed to get through the casing. MS makes some good products but I wouldn’t say their xbox360 series does them much justice. I like their zunes at least they don’t turn into expensive bricks like ipods.
That’s funny since I have had a Gen4 audio only iPod for ~6 years that works to this day while my friend bought a Zune hd and it stopped working in 3 months.

Rooster’s not entirely thrilled with my current addiction to Castle Smasher. But I was the bestest girlfriend ever and downloaded a game for him on the iPod for the next time we take a train trip. It’s Civilization Revolution.
El Xbox 360 salió a la venta por 2006 y es notorio por tener el anillo rojo (el cual indica que la consola está descompuesta de manera irremediable. Si tiene el anillo verde quiere decir que todavía funciona en óptimas condiciones). En N.E.S. salió a la venta en 1989 y todavía funciona. La ironía aquí es que Microsoft (creadora del Xbox) ha sacado juegos para hacer creer a los consumidores que su producto es mejor que el de Nintendo (que actualmente tiene el Wii), y sin embargo las consolas de Nintendo nunca han fallado a menos que el dueño de dichas consolas las tenga en un ambiente poco saludable (expuestos directamente al sol y/o a temperaturas extremas).

The NES isn’t very reliable either. For most people, getting a game to start was a lot of work. Don’t tell me you don’t remember seeing a flashing screen and blowing on cartridges to try and get them to work. The original Playstation had problems too. Those individuals that bought PSones on day one had loading issues and had to put their systems up side down to get them too work. A large percentage of Playstation 2 Fats gave disc read errors. The first slim editions of the PS2 had overheating problems.
Truth: the consoles back then were very simple with no moving parts and or OS installed.. most of the times the new consoles break because we depend so much on the virtual machines (OS) when they break it’s difficult to see which part did what to make whatever stop working. This fail is a fail in itself.
I think the difference is that today manufacturers only focus on computing and graphic power. Not hardware durability. Otherwise it would be like $500 for an xbox360. Plus snes were simple and arnt as complex as an xbox360.
Well, I have an xBox 360, and I’ve left it on for 6 hours at a time w/o using it, and its totally fine. The problem is: idiots put the console on the side (as shown) and this blocks the main vent. One only needs to kiip it flat, and preferably on a platform / book so that none of the venta are blocked.
That is pure WIN. An Xbox 360 (2005) stops working because of hardware failure but a NES (1985) still works and its twenty years older. Talk about quality products.
Yip my mega drive, snes and other old tech consoles still work gave me a bit of nostalga the other day when one cart wouldn’t work so I had to blow in it to get it going again
Um, I was told blowing on it is bad and rusts it. I’ve been banned from doing that to my boyfriend’s Retro duo games. But now I know why my SNES died so horribly.
Stop lying. You have to kick the the thing across an entire football field to even see a terribly glitched title screen of your Super Mario Bros. cartridge, and the video is so terribly glitched beyond that you can’t even play it.
And just as a side note, not to deny the hardware problem of the 360, you know its hardware failure rates are lower than the original fat PS2, right?
Microsoft has recently Announced that they have perfected their next version of windows. It crashes before it starts!(but seriously, anyone with win7 noticing the increased amount of fake error messages?)
WOW! 25+ years of technology “progress”, and this is what it gets us. . .a ring o’ death! Still have my SNES & it still works! Would have my NES still if it had not been given away when I was a kid.
OF course it got the red rings
not only is it the cheap model, but when you stand it up vertically the ventillation is inefficient and therefore the xbox can easily overheat
This is like saying cars are superior to space shuttles because the latter crash more often. Or that cave paintings are superior to canvas because they last thousands of years.
The more complex a system, the easier it can break down. If you want both complexity and durability, you have to pay much more. The producers of gaming consoles didn’t think their market was ready to pay $1000+ for consoles just as durable as their 90s counterparts, so they didn’t go through the trouble of developing it.
If you are willing to pay $1000 or more for an xbox 360 which doesn’t have a 3% chance of failing, rather than a $300 model which does, then you have the right to be angry at microsoft for not satisfying your part of the market.
Yeah, because no one has EVER had problems trying to play Nintendo games.
*blows on cartridge until passing out*
*wakes up and tries to play game*
NOOOOOOOOOOO!
Seriously, a little perspective here, people? One plays 8-bit games, and had trouble doing so sometimes. The other plays modern day games that take far longer and are far more complex to render, etc.
Straight up comparisons like this can easily make the target look bad when facts are left out.
my NES has been professionally restored by myself and has no problems ever. same with my N64. Open your cartridge and clean the contacts with a rubber eraser and rubbing alcohol. same with system.
I wish the Nintendo ROB was as durable. Its start-up checks (which involve pushing itself to its physical boundaries for calibration purposes) wreak havoc on the gear shafts.

Wait, there’s instructions for pickles now?
Let me guess …
1. Open mouth.
2. Insert pickle no more than a couple of inches past mouth opening.
3.
Safety.4. Close mouth, using teeth to chomp off some of the pickle.
5. Remove the rest of the pickle from the facial area.
6. Open and close the jaws of the mouth repeatedly, utilizing the tongue to keep the chunk of pickle currently in the mouth between the teeth.
7. Once the chunk of pickle in the mouth has turned to mush, swallow.

I had a gameboy color that died on me about 15 months after purchase. It was out of warranty, but Nintendo still fixed it for me free of charge.

xbox screwed me on that one!… youtube the towel and or penny trick. It worked for my xbox!
You have it backwards. It’s not that Nintendo machines are that great, it’s that M$ machines are that trashy.

to be fair, the original gameboy was nigh indestructible. if they made an x-box out of whatever the gb was made from it would run until judgment day
They has a working game boy that was mostly melted after some kind of bombing on one of these sites as I remember.

Ooh, I hope this one is full of Nintendo innuendos!
For an unending innuendo entertainment system, you never need to leave the NES.
Unfortunately, I can’t think of one.
Nick-I-can’t-think
just kidding buddy. I am trying to think of a good one too.
It may be old, but if you blow it just right, then it works every time.
That’s What She Said!
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLL
But it looks better:D
Pretty’ll only get you so far in life.
And usually in the wrong direction.
If used incorrectly that is.
♪ See the pretty girl in that mirror there:
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face,
Such a pretty dress,
Such a pretty smile. . . ♪
This more win than anything. Just shows that Nintendo knows what they’re doing when it comes to video games.
Except they keep making the same ones for 30 years, but I wouldn’t mind 10 more Zelda games
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it… literally!
No no u got it all wrong, if it ain’t broke, fix it till it is
You can’t see the red light on the NES blinking incessantly in the still…
Take it out and blow in it.
Wait, wha?
Actually a q-tip with a bit of cleaner on it works wonders on those older games.
Oh, games… nevermind
Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!

You know, there are bladder control products that can help with that.
I guess that Depends on how much control you need.

Srsly? Metal Gear on NES? You mean the one with stupid, long, boring and unnecessary outdoor levels added? I’ll stick to non-sucky versions of this game and, of course, MGS.
*snork*
One Ring to kill them all, apparently.
win
yeah, nintendo WIN ^^
Nintendo rules. I don’t know any guys who get laid wearing “Gears of War II” shirts. I do routinely see hot girls wearing 8 bit Nintendo shirts.
I’m going to play Megaman II now. See ya!
Good to have your priorities in life straight.
~*thumbs up*~
It pains me to say this, but he kinda has a point.
I almost never play computer/video games. And the ones I do play, aren’t what you might call exciting. They’re more time passers.
Did you just say ‘armor that matches’?
You mean like color coordinates and that sort of stuff?
Oh well, heaven forbid you would have to go into battle with a mix of padded and quilted.

Enemies admiring her butt are too busy to defend themselves?
Heehee! I know…when I go into battle, my battle-cry is, “DON’T SHOOT ME IN THE CLEAVAGE!!”…’cuz, you know, that is never protected, either.
I have discovered how to get away with that in real life….Put your hand guns in your webbing….Heh heh…even If I get shot there, I cant feel it!
*squeezes Dragon and K@*
Failblog needs a “like” button for comments.
I’ve seen my friend play games like that and always asked her why the girls had such ridiculously skimpy armor….Yes, the exposed stomach is certainly protected by the breast armor. It’s like Xena all over again.
Nah, Castle Smasher, Cat Physics, Solitaire, Wordsearch. That kind of thing. I never did get the hang of “normal” games.
Rooster’s not entirely thrilled with my current addiction to Castle Smasher. But I was the bestest girlfriend ever and downloaded a game for him on the iPod for the next time we take a train trip. It’s Civilization Revolution.
Seems like you’d be a natural for Angry Birds. Um, not that YOU are angry.
Maybe when I get better at some of these others. Cat Physics and Castle Smasher are doing wonders to help with my hand eye coordination.
Civilization II, now that was a time vampire.
Well of course he does, but that doesn’t mean any girl is ever going to want to tounch it.
This much is true.
too long, didn’t read
You fail, it’s TL;DR.
Also, the OP is doing it wrong (but close).
Nintendo EPIC WIN
You trying to push all the buttons hoping one gets you a KO?
Well, the NES has 4 moving parts and generates almost no heat, this is not surprising. although the 360 SHOULD last longer than it actually does.
P.S. i’m no fanboy, i’m a proud owner of an NES
no entiendo…

I have no idea what it is that you are talking about.
At least he/she isnt going around shouting racist remarks.
Muslims aren’t racist? Tell that to a Jew.
Number of Xbox360s that have died on me: 1
Number of NESs that have died on me: 1
Number of PS2s that have died on me: 1
Thus concludes all system failures I’ve experienced.
Did anybody else find that hitting your NES made it work better? If mine froze, we always used to hit it and it would usually work. If you didn’t hit it, it would always stay frozen, and you’d have to reset. Of course, mine did break a few years back…
Nope, never experienced that one. Though I did have an old original Playstation that would only work if you stood it on it’s left side.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA! That’s hilarious.

Really? You posted a url to your own lol, which isn’t even relevant to this picture?
Fail indeed.
no.its a win
This warms my Playstation loving heart
Mine as well. Although I think the original Xbox would last much longer.
>sigh< They don't make em' like they used to…
Amen brother. I still have mine and it works like a charm. I still hate to blow on the cartridges though.
Just use a Que tip and I think rubbing alchohol
If that doesn’t work, try Canesten.
Apparently he equates the NES with his god and Obama… understandable.
I would call this a superior technology win.
meh, i saw this one a year ago
Because they put the xbox 360 on its vent to let the heat out
NES WIN!!!
WINtendo.
Moooooooooooooooomin!
*Squishysqueeze*
Where have you been?
Where have you gone?
Come back!
Oh, and X-boxed.
The NES isn’t very reliable either. For most people, getting a game to start was a lot of work. Don’t tell me you don’t remember seeing a flashing screen and blowing on cartridges to try and get them to work. The original Playstation had problems too. Those individuals that bought PSones on day one had loading issues and had to put their systems up side down to get them too work. A large percentage of Playstation 2 Fats gave disc read errors. The first slim editions of the PS2 had overheating problems.
Maybe, but that Xbox probably hasn’t been around more than 4 years or so, compared to the NES, which is probably five times as old?
At least the flashing screen still gives you a little bit of hope to still play a game. Once that Xbox quits on you, it’s dead son.
Big whoop. So a new-fangled NES is still operational. My Videopac G7000 (1979) still works. Now that’s longevity.
Oh, come ON! This is clearly a WIN!
Truth: the consoles back then were very simple with no moving parts and or OS installed.. most of the times the new consoles break because we depend so much on the virtual machines (OS) when they break it’s difficult to see which part did what to make whatever stop working. This fail is a fail in itself.
Where’s Francis E Dec when you need him? Worldwide Mad Deadly Communist Gangster Computer God beats all this clankage about religion.
yeah i think the Snes could survive a nuclear bomb.
Thats good old Quality
I think the difference is that today manufacturers only focus on computing and graphic power. Not hardware durability. Otherwise it would be like $500 for an xbox360. Plus snes were simple and arnt as complex as an xbox360.
Did he died?
No the 360 did
this is the winningest photo I have ever seen. Win.
Well, I have an xBox 360, and I’ve left it on for 6 hours at a time w/o using it, and its totally fine. The problem is: idiots put the console on the side (as shown) and this blocks the main vent.

Designed by microsoft, made in china, of course it went wrong.
FIRSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Dooouuuuuchhhhhheeeeeeeee
that is a win
HEY! I do not >:(
i feel this a win.
OOOOO… PWNED BY THE R.R.O.D!(Red Ring of Death(on XBox))
Superior technology my ass… NES FTW
HA!
no wonder microsoft name the console XBox…..
XB <—- dead nerd
well its only 3/4ths broken give it that much credit
Yip my mega drive, snes and other old tech consoles still work
gave me a bit of nostalga the other day when one cart wouldn’t work so I had to blow in it to get it going again
Um, I was told blowing on it is bad and rusts it. I’ve been banned from doing that to my boyfriend’s Retro duo games. But now I know why my SNES died so horribly.
Obama also googles p*rn and loads flashvideos as mp4
the fail is the ROD. as i remeber x-box (the first) dont have such probs
Stop lying. You have to kick the the thing across an entire football field to even see a terribly glitched title screen of your Super Mario Bros. cartridge, and the video is so terribly glitched beyond that you can’t even play it.
And just as a side note, not to deny the hardware problem of the 360, you know its hardware failure rates are lower than the original fat PS2, right?
Hahaha. Lets look at the list of consoles I have owned and how many:
NES – 1
SNES – 1
Atari 2600 – 1
Genesis – 1
Wii – 1
Gamecube – 1
PS1 – 1
PS2 – 1
PS3 – 1
360 – 5
What does that tell you?
You managed to break your ps3?!? :O
Some people call it planned obsolescence.
No, that’s a total win.
fail
Well it IS microsoft… no one should be really that surprised… if microsoft made a product that worked correctly i think the world would implode…
Microsoft has recently Announced that they have perfected their next version of windows. It crashes before it starts!(but seriously, anyone with win7 noticing the increased amount of fake error messages?)
Thats why u Never stand up yr 360 (no matter how they show it on the box)
damn right it still works! next gen my ass
Nooooo the red ring of death strikes again!
He’s right, I still have my 1989 old Nintendo system (like the one in the picture), and it still works!
WOW! 25+ years of technology “progress”, and this is what it gets us. . .a ring o’ death! Still have my SNES & it still works! Would have my NES still if it had not been given away when I was a kid.
My Xbox is doing the same thing, and my nintendo wii (which is 2 years older) still works perfectly.
I’m confused….all I see is win.
All I see is win also. This just proves why Nintendo are awesome, nothing I have brought from Nintendo has ever broken.
xboxs are the worst reliable systems. I’ve had two fail on me and I’m done forever. (same problem with both)
that’s not a fail… that’s an epic win!! shame on who-ever thinks this is a fail!!!
Nintendo games don’t have any loading time.
Not even Broken this happens when it gets unplug it……uploading this pic was a fail and people who fell for this you have failed
Have you ever, EVER, heard of the RROD?
Superior technology win. Nintendo is so much better.
This is so true. My PS2 broke a while back but my NES plods onward, never tiring.
OF course it got the red rings
not only is it the cheap model, but when you stand it up vertically the ventillation is inefficient and therefore the xbox can easily overheat
This is like saying cars are superior to space shuttles because the latter crash more often. Or that cave paintings are superior to canvas because they last thousands of years.
The more complex a system, the easier it can break down. If you want both complexity and durability, you have to pay much more. The producers of gaming consoles didn’t think their market was ready to pay $1000+ for consoles just as durable as their 90s counterparts, so they didn’t go through the trouble of developing it.
If you are willing to pay $1000 or more for an xbox 360 which doesn’t have a 3% chance of failing, rather than a $300 model which does, then you have the right to be angry at microsoft for not satisfying your part of the market.
But Phillip, cars crash more often. Cars crash every day.
Maybe its a proportional thing? Like in comparison the amount of cars is in the millions with only a few space shuttles?
Yeah, because no one has EVER had problems trying to play Nintendo games.
*blows on cartridge until passing out*
*wakes up and tries to play game*
NOOOOOOOOOOO!

XD I have both systems and have never had more than minor trouble with either *knock on wood*
Of course, one is a couple decades older than the other.
good god!
this should be a WIN! ._.
This was mislabeled. This should be a win, hands down
No way! A console that’s about a million times more complex sometimes dies before the less complex one does? Call Ripley’s!
That is because MICROSOFT SUCKS and NINTENDO IS AWESOME.
