Gamer Hell:
You wake up like any normal day, it's your day off. You know it's your day off somehow. You sit behind your computer, it's release day for the game you waited for so long.
The game you followed every trailer, every dev diary. The game you scoured the internet for since word reached of it's development. It's the golden grail of games. The Fable with all promised features. The Fallout that goes from east to west coast and comes with Europe, Asia and Australia as DLC packed. It's the Elder Scrolls: Tamriel. It's Prototype where you can control every facet of your evolution and can powerjump from Paris to DC in a single fluid motion. It's Call of Duty: Evolution, where you start in WW2 and end up in the far future, every level a theatrical experience blowing Modern Warfare out of the water. It's the Final Fantasy VII remake that lets you take Ragnarock into space to visit all the Final Fantasy worlds.

An unknown error 32C560CD has occured.
No matter how many fixes you try. Regardless of how many reboots, reinstalls, chants, sacrifices to the blood god you make. It won't let you run the game. You will come closer each time, you get to watch the cinematic intro, the nvidia intro, the developers into. You might even see the main menu. But each time you start the game a new error appears, again and again, forever and ever.
