You are kidding me...

[Oomii]

So I went to purchase Limbo today on XBLA, I had gift card with $15 and some cents on it, so I figured I would be fine. When it asked me to add Microsoft Points, I first selected the $10, then when I went back to select $5, and it said it couldn't authorize it. I went online to check my balance, it was $4.70. You are kidding me... I went 30¢ over? Come on! This is a pretty minor annoyance, sense I can buy a $5 Card, but still don't you hate it when this things happen?

Anyway, I just wanted to see what similar situations you guys have been in. This is a pretty broad topic so really you could post any little frustrating that happened to you.

$O.O1 short of buying the Fate Stay Night fighting game for the PSP Go. This is why I prefer to buy games on disk at a store with people behind a desk. they usually let the 0.01 cents slide.

Plus the concept of spare change doesn't exist in online transactions, it's always got to be the exact amount.

Yes I am kidding you. I may also be kidnapping you, let me check... nope, that's not you.

Back to story time.

Some time ago, in an office room some few meters away... there was an invisible wall on a map in Counter Strike: Source as we were playing Zombie Horde. Now you see, my friend had always known how to circumvent this invisible wall and has tried to explain it to me several times. But I wouldn't listen! Well I did, but it didn't help. So every time I tried to jump from atop a three story building to the other side by going around it from a ledge, I would land and nearly die, then the zombies get me.

That went on forever until my friend remembered, some weeks later mind you, that I had to turn the mouse also with my character's movements. Not use W and D, but W then D as you turn the camera with your mouse. I then mastered it... until I fell again.

Oh then there are the cougars in Red Dead Redemption... freaking ninja cats! Then the wolves that took my bear kill as I almost killed it with the knife, then the other bear that didn't like me knifing on her man as she slaughtered me and snapped my neck. Then the time I didn't realise you could permanently own a Horse Deed. How that would have saved me the anguish of losing my golden steeds... did I mention how much I hated the wolves? I still kill them, you know... and I don't harvest them.

Um....yes, that was my point.

Also, I recently bought a Box set of HAO2 yu-gi-oh form a store where, for some reason, was 20$ cheaper than anywhere else in all of Calgary. Went from a potential 70 bucks to a mere 50, and I got to eat at my fav Japanese bento place for lunch. I was however, 50cents short on a drink. i had ordered spicy Tuna sushi. I was not a happy camper.
