Also, no ME spoilers of any kind please. I got the Trilogy for Christmas and am currently playing through it for the first time.

I had a very similar thing, only I threw a 14 story building out of a pool and hit a kid on a paper aeroplane.


The Flood is just this awesome :D

Mass Effect 1 is the worst out of the bunch. ME3 requires the free Extended Cut download if you don't want to be pissed about the ending. ME2 is arguably the best.

My troll sense is tingling.

One time in Oblivion, I accidentally saved over a character I spent more than thirty hours on.

Ew, my username. :C

I came up with it when I was 10.

I press F5 pretty much every other minute in the Mass Effect games.

I'm playing 360. I've been pretty good about saving often, had a few other slips where I had to replay a bit, but nothing this big.

Thirty hours is nothing. Try several characters with 100 hours each, and having your hard drive formatted because your friend didn't know what "format" meant.

I've challenged my beliefs. What is the book about?


I find that this is usually untrue. If religious people honestly, diligently and intelligently challenged their beliefs, there would be no religious people.

To this day I still don't believe him. He told me that his music wasn't working on my Xbox, so he thought format was some magical button that will allow his music to play.

My brother erased my 2000+ hour playthrough of fallout 3 for a prank.


I wasn't mad....I just felt....empty.

  • 12.28.2012 5:19 PM PDT

That happened to me today during my fourth playthrough of Mass Effect 2.

If ME 1 is the worst, the others must be great. I've been playing it almost nonstop all day.

I remember when I saved over my GTA:SA save game. I was sad.

  • 12.28.2012 5:22 PM PDT

My brother once erased my 1000 hour pokemon game... so yeah, thirty hours isn't too much :)

We're on the Flood.

Hard to make a case against "wasting time."
