Weirdest saving you know of?

[Auninteligentname]

Not entierly sure what I shall call it, but whats the weirdest saving you know of? Location, method, or lines being said while saving? Mine is in Dragon Quest: The journey of the cursed king, as there you have to go to a church and confess. I still find it funny everytime I save. So what is the weirdest you know of?

(First thread I've made BTW)

GTA2 made you visit a church to save as well.

"My grandmother could beat the game if she saved as much as you do!" -Dude from Postal 2

Nothing else comes to mind...

Well, in No More Heroes you save by taking a dump.

In No More Heroes you save the game by going to the bathroom.

Edit: Curse you ninja! Curse yooooooouuuuuuuu!!!!!

not really strange but in Cave story you save by messing with a spinning red floppy disk

i guess it would be strange if you've not lived long enough to know what a floppy disk is but that's beside the point

The weirdest I can think of is in Harvest Moon: Back to Nature. Everytime you want to save you have to go to your bedroom to sleep, thus skipping a whole day of farming. Possibly the worst save feature ever to be in a game, excluding games that don't let you create manual saves and use checkpoints instead.

The typewriters from the early resident evil games are kinda odd.

Breath of Fire II - telling the story of your journey to a Dragon God statue or a priest.

Obscure - burning a CD

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance - writing it in a book

Know what's funny? That reminds me of Breath of Fire 2 where you can save to the Dragon God or save in a church.

Then you learn more about the church's intentions...

The Silent Hill 2 (and 3 I guess) ones kinda freaked me out. I thought something went wrong when the character complained of a headache and the whole screen flashed red.

Going to the bathroom in Dead Rising. That is the funniest, the stupidest way to save that I remember recently was Alpha Protocol and it's forced checkpoint system.

In Earthbound you call Ness' dad and he saves the game for you
