Animation and Xbox Woes

I decided to take a stab at actually making an animation for the aliens. This was the result after about an hour and a half of work.

I didn't like the way it looked as the animation looks to cycled so I decided to separate the animations for the tentacles and the eyeball. I also added a "downward look", so rather than the animation cycling it stops at the last animation when the eye looks down. This way in game it looks like the eyeball has spotted the player and it attacks just as the animation finishes.

My Xbox also crapped out on me. Surprisingly not the Red Ring Of Death. The heat generated from about 4 hours of playing Mass Effect 2 (or maybe it's just that my game skills are so damn hot) the glue on a small magnet above the disc tray melted, dropping the magnet onto the disc and making a very loud noise. The tray now refuses to close. This is a(nother) known Xbox issue, and since it's past warrenty I'm going to have to open it up and fix my $300 next generation console system with a tube of $2 SuperGlu.
