Five Mistakes You've Made In Games (Tagged!)

*sigh* Here goes (only for you, minimme! :D)

1. Passing up on Dead Space: Believe it or not, I almost had no interest in this game! :o Yes, the game that's one of my personal obsessions, I nearly never bothered with. Just imagine how foolish I'd be right now had I not said "aw, what the hell" and picked up my copy :P

2.Doing the impossible: you know how they say Achievements can't be erased? Well, at lauch, I made the horrible mistake of playing a couple games tied to an offline account, then a week later decide to get Live...so, if you were to check up my profile, you'd see games like Condemned have some weird time paradox, like halfway through the game, I've got Achievements dated back to 2005, and the first half of the game dating around 2008 :o.

3.I erased the Recycle Bin: believe it or not, I actually did (not sure if it should be a 8) or a :oops: ). I was toying around with some mods for a game, and at the same time my launcher for a game I was loading up started to crash...so what do I do? start uninstalling files, while trying to light a cigarette, and somehow ended up deleting the shortcut to the Recycle Bin. To this day, my Asus laptop is...Recycle Bin free. It's unique!

4.I actually cheated Microsoft: I decided to buy Gears of War for PC a while back...call it coincidence, but as soon as I went through that groan inducing process of converting money into Microsoft Points, the damn thing was down for maintenance, so I couldn't download it right away...the next day, I checked up again to see if I didn't get ripped off. Well, while I was waiting for the game to download, I noticed my account still had $20 left in it (which was the amount I converted to buy the game) :o. I was a little paranoid for a few weeks, since I really don't want my account to get banned because they'd assume I cheated the system, but so far so good, and that money's still in my account :D.

5.Losing faith in Steam: around the time Dead Space 2 and Dragon Age 2 were announced, I kept waiting for Steam to announce the game on their program...thing is, Dragon Age 2 has a deadline to be bought if you want the free goodies with the game, and EA's download manager was the only program advertising the game. So, I caved in and purchased both games off EA's site...a couple days later, Steam offers Dragon Age 2 for pre-order, with the bonuses :|. A week later, Steam announces Dead Space 2 for pre-load :|. Learn from my mistakes: never, ever question Steam's authority as PC gaming's messiah, because the whole process to play a game off EA's manager blows :cry:.

Anyway, I tag ClearDagger, Nexus2012, deathtarget04, and matastig :D
