I'm so Stupid....

[pantsoffdanceoff]

I bought SR2 port for the computer. I wasted 40$, the game is unplayable, I should have probably read a review first.

I stuck myself with a plasma grenade in Halo 3.

I traded in Bioshock for Army of Two at Gamestop. I should be locked in an asylum for that. Anyway I got Bioshock back by stealing it from a friend who does not play it and threw Army of Two in a pit full of tigers.

Well, it's less of a stupid moment and more of a "What the hell, you freaking jerk?" moment.

My friend was giving his sister the Heimlich Maneuver, and afterwards I said "Wouldn't a Falcon Pawnch have worked just as well?"

They don't let me come over for dinner anymore.

I wouldve done that anyway Bioshock is way overrated

Not when you're trading it in for Army of Two it isn't.

I had just got a new 360, and I saw Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath in a Best Buy bargain bin for 10$, and it was only afterward that I learned of Microsoft's incredibly bullshit backward compatibility system, and that Stranger's Wrath was NOT on their list of playable games.

How hard is it to make a fully backward compatible system? The Wii and PS3 do it fine, for the majority, so why can't Microsoft give us a system that can play games of the last gen without having to download the ability to play the old games that often times have more glitches than when they were for the first Xbox?

Same thing happened to me, exact same game too, and another one that also wasn't backwards compatible. I returned them to the Gamestop where the employee taking them back then informed me that all xbox games that were backwards compatible had a (BC) on the tag after the title. Useful information for making a purchase, but a source of further chagrin when it gives an immediate reference to how many titles I can't play on my 360, not that I wouldn't think twice anyway, I'm really tired of the ghosted cutscenes over the levels of Halo 2.

On a sidenote though, I've heard the PS3 doesn't do backwards compatibility well either, with the titles restricted in a similar fashion, not to mention they don't make a PS3 that is backwards compatible anymore, you have to buy it used, and it is somehow more expensive than the used 40G harddrive package without backwards compatibility.

Another I'm so stupid moment: I bought a copy of Monster Madness: Battle for Suburbia when it first came out. A week later I read a review of it calling it mediocre. I still like it, but it sold poorly, so now you can buy it for $9 used at Gamestop, if I had waited less than a year I could've saved $40 on a game I can never finish due to crappy response to controls and a poorly designed final level.

The 1080 had better be fully backwards-compatible, or else I won't be getting one...

None of the Playstation 3s are backwards compatible, at the moment.

Buying the gears of war 2 lancer replica, painting it, left it just outside to dry overnight and somehow it caught fucking fire. i can only assume that someone threw away a cigarette or sumthing.

I'm sorry dude, and you have my sympathies, but that really did make me laugh. I absolutely love random humor, and something spontaneously catching fire, epic.

On topic: Lesse, I don't consider this stupid, but most people would: I bought the Wii only for Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (i don't regret it, although i have since bought more games). I sold my 360 in order to buy it, but that's made ok by the fact that it was about 30 seconds from a RROD.

I bought James Bond: Agent Under Fire just for the multiplayer. I don't consider that a stupid decision either, the multiplayer on that game is awesome.

I borrowed Jak 2 from a friend a few years ago, then lost it (I didn't even play it). I told him I gave it back to him and he believed me.

I found it today underneath a towel in the backyard. It still works, too. Go figure.

no it's not you pice of tripe! Bioshock was one of the best Shooter of the decade*

Buying Okami for the Wii is probably one of the dumbest things I've ever done gaming-wise.

Using google to find porn is a very bad idea. Never ever do that.

*comment unrelated to topic*

True. I have misunderstood the opening post a bit. Sorry.

Alright... gaming related. Buying thief 3 and then noticing it needs pixel shader 2. I was so heartbroken. I was dieing to play that. I actually bought a new computer later that year just so I could enjoy the damn game.

 

[Aura Guardian]

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. >_>;;

Ouch.
Never bought the store warranty when I return and exchange Resident Evil 4 for the Gamecube 86 times
