Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1652 Joined: 2 Nov 2008     | Does buying Metroid Prime 3 for $60CA and then absolutely hating it count? Otherwise, it would probably have something to do with an MMO and giving away waaay too much money. |

How do you do that? I'm curious. Did two break or do you have really bad memory? I bought a few games I've only played once or twice. My favorite is playing a new game but being still in the state of mind of playing the previous game and getting myself killed because of it. I went to play a .. fps game i forget which but i remember there was ledge i could not reach, just played TF2 Recently i thought huh... i have a rocket launcher i'll just Rocket Jump! BOOM i died. |

I went to the store, bought it, went again, saw it on sale, thought I didn't have it, bought it again, went back later, saw it in a bargain bin, again thought I didn't have it, and bought it a third time. |
Beat Writer Posts: 160 Joined: 1 Jan 2009 | I did a lot of facepalming reading through those... Anyway, another one I did was let a friend borrow my mint PC copy of Final Fantasy VIII. Not only is it usually $50-$80, but it was a very sentimental gift to me. Haven't seen the bastard, or my game, since. >_>;; |

Did you get the copy of Oblivion back? |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 549 Joined: 24 Sep 2008 | Me and my friend were taking turns trying to beat some of the later Insurance Fraud missions in Saints Row 2. I got in a helicopter flew over the area to start my time and ejected. Instead of getting the 30,000+ dollars I should have the fall killed me. How on God's green Earth do you die during Insurance fraud?!?!?! I've also run into a parked car on more than one occasion in real life... |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1932 Joined: 9 Sep 2008  | A while ago, I was getting ice cream with a friend, but hitting on the cute chinese girl serving the stuff. Her cultural pride was no match for my charm and her icy facade shattered and showed me a brief smile. Cut to far too long later and the friend that was there that day let slip that said chinese icecream wench had given me her number, via napkin, which I hadn't noticed and had thrown away without realising. Of course, why said friend didn't tell me this valuable information... THE MOMENT I THREW THE FUCKING THING AWAY... is beyond me. But as they say in the parisian desert, you shiv and burn. Word to the wise, kiddies, ice cream wenches leave their numbers on napkins. Apparently sales wenches leave it on dockets. |

Yeah. Took a while and a few phone calls that probably could've landed me in the "nightmare customer" thread, but I got it back. And it wasn't even scratched! |
Copy Clerk Posts: 64 Joined: 10 Sep 2008     | My stories are so tame compared to some of these x3 I hope gameplay-idiocy counts here, otherwise I'ma probably end up derailing the thread. *shifty eyes* Funny thing that got the "I'm so stupid" reaction out of myself, was playing Left4Dead, finali of no mercy, we were almost to the roof when a tank attacked... and threw himself down the bottomless pit. We had a nice long moment of "did the fall kill him? I still hear the music... somebody throw a molatov" and as luck would have it, I had a molatov! So I got up next to the railing at the side of the pit, yelled "fire in the hole!" and broke the bottle ON the railing. I saw fire, screamed in surprise and jumped back. The railing was only on fire enough for me to have burned myself, and my whole team just laughed and laughed. Ha ha, ouch my pride. ^.^; |
BANNED  Posts: 1266 Joined: 19 Dec 2008  | I hired a game with a friend. Left it at his place. He pirated it then when he returned the game the fucking idiot returned the pirated copy instead of the orignal all nicely labelled and everything. Thank christ it was a friend of mine who worked at the video store else I could have been facing a hefty fine. User was banned for: Soldier rushes to defend post in pink boxers. (Permanent) |

Press Junketeer  Posts: 441 Joined: 13 Nov 2008   | Bought Icewind Dale a couple o' years back. Played it once. waded my way though the lake of shit that was the game (IMO). Almost finished it theeeen I accidentally killed a main quest giver (Damn area of effect Spells!). Rather than play through the whole shitty game AGAIN. I uninstalled and never touched it again. It made a nice paperweight for a while. Until I bought my PSP. Now it is just a Decoration. I just thought of something. Why the fuck haven't I sold it yet? |

Well, here at least I can sympathize. The same thing happened to my copy of Enter The Matrix. (Hmm, FF8 PC is worth $50-$80 now? <Casts covetous eyes to his copy sitting on the shelf.> Doing a little search on Amazon it looks like the smart people are just buying the PS "greatest hits" version which is only $20 and should be playable on any version of the Playstation.) |

There appears to be a lot of threads chronicling the idiocy of other people in the world of gaming.
I want to know what stupid things you've done personally.
My latest one- I bought Okage Shadow King today for PS2, and was ridiculously happy. I've been looking for it for ages, and just now found it. When I got home I remembered something important- I have no PS2.
Also, I have a habit of changing the controls to something more comfortable to me, forgetting as SOON as I exit the menu, and freaking out that the game isn't playing right.
