Your Biggest Mistake in Gaming

[Soigieoto]

mine would be buying a Macbook

Run windows on parallels, you will be surprised at the performance in games.

I already do - and none of them work I got Virtualbox and VmFusion, neither will let me play any games

Dude dual boot, thats the way to go. Use Boot camp to dual boot, the mac basically becomes two computer systems.

It just partions the Hard drive, nothing to it. Unless you don't have leopard....

Overdrew on my credit card to buy a wii, back when the wii's came out and they were super-hard to find.

So I'm in EB, and they're like 'oh yeah we've got one wii left', and I knew I had very few funds on my credit card, but I bought it anyway. It more or less worth it, I enjoyed Zelda a lot. But owch did that hurt my wallet.

Also, when I bought a PSP at launch. I was all excited because it was a shiny new portable, and it had a new Twisted metal on it. That was the real seller for me, because it reminded me of Twisted Metal 2 (best game in the series). So I picked it up, had some fun with Twisted Metal, proceeded to not have anything good to play on it for the next year or so, and finally sold it. I would've have even had to buy it for TM, because it was ported to the ps2 a couple of years later. Damnit.

Using leet-speak.
How could I be so foolish!?

Did a daedric quest and completely owned my whole character in Oblivion.

I, through a series of unfortunate events that I could have stopped, am not able to play Diablo 2 anymore.

Oh how I have failed.

When my GameCube broke, I threw away EVERY GC game I had. About two years later, I have a new one and I never play it.

Thinking buying the cheaper games in the shop as a kid would have resulted in equal amounts of fun and more cash to spend.

It was horrible.

Hmmm I suppose - I just wish I could persuade my dad into helping me do it

Not getting steam the first second it came out i have a problem with losing those annoying codes to activate the game.

Saving over a 1005 File in FFX for a new one. It was done in haste, it pained me to watch it go. Funny thing is I still had like 70 blocks left

Buying the "game" Sun Age. It's damn near unplayable with the number of glitches there were.

I did it myself its very easy. Just costs some money.

I just threw away an hour of progress in Fallout 3... that'll teach me not to trust too much on the Autosave.

This. The sad thing is I never learn.

Leaving my PS2 on for 2 weeks while I went on holiday. It was baking hot when I got back and from then on it started to die... first it wouldn't read CDs... then dvds... then wouldn't read games unless you put them in just right and banged it a bit... then it stopped reading games altogether... now all I can do with it is open the browser... *starts weeping*...

Relying on memories cards for which held 500 hours of disgaea, 90 hours of final fantasy and 31 hours of devil may cry 3. *Sob* I trusted you and you betrayed me by breaking.

The amount of times I have done that on games is uncounted. Playing till my DS dies and not saving regularly usually results in several hours of lost work, and a refusal to play that game, for a few days at the least.

Yeah, I know that feeling. I really hate it when I have to do something again that I've already done for some stupid reason such as a crashing game, corrupt savegame, or totally unfair game element. If I lose a lot of progress or it happens more than once it may even make me so frustrated that I don't feel like playing the game at all anymore.

Yeah, I also loathe that feeling.

Enjoing Halo too much, I get lot of flak for it.
