I swear to God, i want to kill Will Wright wright now for something that was entirely not his fault!
When the Sims 2 came out, I thought - "hey, this would be a nice suprise for my sister, the Simophile, if i bought it from her", and so, i bought it for her the day it came out. A week later, i asked her to bring it over, completely convidant that i could find a crack online. Of course, I found out after installing it that there wasn't. A little pissed off, i decided to keep it on until i found one.
Instead, i found vitual drives- I thought- "hey, my friend used to have one of these- it should work out fine!", but instead, i just got an error message every single time. So I uninstalled it.
Since then, I installed it 3 more times, and I couldn't find a working virtual drive or crack. Beginning to lose my patience, i started thinking about outright buying the game- and when i told my sister, she reminded me she's getting the expansion, and she won't need the CD's to play it anymore. All excited, i finally borrow it....and.....
it gets stuck at 12%. and never goes up.
I start to lose it- but then it dawns on me- i bought it from EB Games! I bought a warranty on it! If anything- ANYTHING is wrong with the CD, i can return it for a replacement!
But then it dawned on me- don't a need a receipt? Getting worried, i remember my sister has a friend in that store- a manager or something- so i got her to call the dude, and sure enough- you need a receipt. But because Jesus likes to fuck with me, it ends up that, since he knows my sister, he'll do the switch- one problem though- the store closes in an hour, we can only get it through him, and after tonight, he's off work till tuesday. So i hope on my bike, which is quickly falling to pieces, and ride it over the icy roads while its snowing. I get there in time, and make the switch with no problems- even pick up Eternal Darkness while i'm there. I get back here, and it gets past the 12%!! Everything is going good....only...
A brand new, out of the box CD doesn't work. Its got a strange marking on the final CD, freezing up with only 12%(ironically enough) left to go!
So now i'm considering smashing the CD to ribbons, then returning it to EB Games again for a new CD.
Seriously Jesus- where are you when i need you the most? And you better not say carrying me, because you can fucking carry the CD, and fix it while your at it!
