Salsa_Shark is a screen name I started using in December of 2004, it comes from the 1994 movie Clerks. I'm known elsewhere on the internet as Devious_Malcontent or DeviousMalcon_t depending on character limits.

2010 wasn't a good year for gaming,

In early July of last year, my Xbox 360 decided that it could no longer live with its self, knowing that it was the child of such an evil corporation, and shot its self in the head, leaving me with a red ring, and a broken fallout 3 disc.

Just recently in December of 2010 my play station 3, committed hara-kiri after bringing dishonour to the family with a readability error, and a flashing yellow light.

And yet still, after all the deaths 2010 brought me, one system still remained loyal, my computer. For 8 and a half years, Every morning at about 8'O clock, I would turn it on, the CPU would power up, and the processor would start clocking, just like the machines before it, it would sit dormant in the corner, awaiting my every command.

It almost seemed like it could go on like this forever, sadly this was not the case, just as 2010 was drawing to an end so was my computer.

The dust on the motherboard had finally caught up to it, and it could no longer hack it, deciding to end its life with a bang, setting fire to its mother bored and cooking its internal circuits, in a spectacular and somewhat scary display of sparks.

From what was a machine of great accomplishment from the generations before us, now sits dormant in the far side of my room, alongside the rotting remains of systems past, and the consoles of yester year. Only to serve as a reminder, that nothing lasts forever.
