A bad day all for gaming.
Today I have had a pretty bad day. I first went to the nearest “Game Stop” with the intentions of trading in a few games, and purchasing a used copy of “Halo 2″. I got to the store, made the trades and purchased the game, then I went out to the van to go back home. I locked my keys in. So, with no cell phone to call anyone or money to pay for a locksmith, I got smart. I was able to break into the van using one of my shoelaces, my wallet, a yellow tube I found, and a stick. I’m not going to go into any details, just in case someone wanted to use this information for malicious reasons, but after just an hour, I was on my way back home. When I got home, the game didn’t work. It was just too scratched, so I go back in my van to go back to the store, and when I got there, the lady behind the counter showed me all of the copies of Halo 2 she had in stock, and I took the best one, so I head back home. It didn’t work either, so after driving about 80 miles (it is about 20 miles to the game store), I still don’t have a working copy of the game. Very Depressing.

Doode! I feel your pain!
Bring it this weekend, and we’ll see if we can’t get you to a GameStop around here and maybe solve this problem.

actually, I got it to work. I’ll tell you how in my blog tomorrow which will be titled “How to take care of scratched discs”, which will include some things that I tried on other test discs that were DOOMED to failure, and one unlikely remedy that had a lot of luck in getting it to work.
