Never had a memory card for my PS1, would just leave a game running until I beat it. Left Crash Bandicoot 3 or whatever on for six straight months and the clock or something got overheated. You know those crates of tnt that'd explode in like 3 seconds after you hit one? For me they'd go through the timer instantly. It was brutal.

I don't know which Pokémon game it was, but I had a save just before an encounter with a legendary Pokémon (who only appeared once in the game) and then I left my Gameboy unattended and somebody killed that pokemon and then saved the game. It's been like 16 years and I still remember, wtf is wrong with me.

Picked up the C64 joystick for the first time as a four year old, forever dooming me to be an overweight shut-in, and later, goon.

Got $50 as a birthday present as a little kid, and spent it on that Half Life expansion pack Blue Shift I was expecting something like Opposing Force; a whole new game with new weapons and enemies and poo poo. Instead I got 3 1/2 hours of gameplay and the same poo poo that was in the original game

When I was 11 years old I took a measurement of my dick once a week so I could make sure it was growing at an acceptable rate. I kept a note of the dated measurements in a secret place, for fear of someone seeing it and somehow intuiting what the numbers meant. That secret place was inside the cover (behind the instruction manual) of Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions, a game no one would be likely to crack open. Then a few years later, having long forgotten about the dick measuring chart, I sold my ps1 bundled with all the games. For a little while I was afraid and embarrassed by the thought of that person or the next one they sold it onto finding the chart and realising that, somewhere out there, a kid had measured his own dick. It was when I stopped fearing it and began to find it funny that I knew I had grown into a man, and that I needed no further measurement for proof.

I thought this thread was going to be about terrible mistakes people made in video games, but it's almost entirely people complaining about spending a few dollars and realizing a game wasn't good. I once convinced 3 friends (you needed 4 people) to help me to get some achievement in Halo 3 for finishing the last level with everyone in ghosts. We spent something like 5 or 6 hours on it, then at the very end, I thought it'd be funny to jump out, but then die so we'd just do the last checkpoint again. It was clear I wasn't going to actually make the jump if the trigger zone was actually in the hanger I was supposed to land in, but the momentum carried me far enough that it triggered cutscene anyway. I frantically tried to revert to last save, but it already checkpointed us at the cutscene. So in the end, I didn't get the achievement and my friends all hated me.

I spent at least 2000 dollars (who knows the exact number, probably more) on maplestory poo poo several years ago. I thought I learned my lesson but I've been doing it the same on CoD black ops 3, although I think I'm only at around 1k.

Also for a non-"I spent too much on a video game" mistake, I killed Vivec in my game of Morrowind after spending some ridiculous amount of hours on that character and didn't have an earlier save I could reload to, making me unable to finish the game (as far as I know/knew, I don't have that xbox anymore so if there is a way there's nothing I can do about it).

I've made lots of bad purchases over the years. Ultima IX, Gothic 3, Tek Wars, Divine Divinity 2: Dragon Knight. The list goes on and on, reaching all the way back to the days of the Commodore 64.

Basically, yes. There are some supply crate only weapons but most of them suck and have an extremely low drop rate. It's mostly skins and taunts though.

Not entirely sure anout Cod, but cs go weapon skins (especially knives) are viewed like precious gems. People will be blabbing about their $400 knife skin during a match while you are trying to listen for the enemy teams footsteps. The whole skin gambling scene getting busted open recently is kind of funny.

I bought State of Emergency the day it came out for $60. Maybe played it a total of 30 minutes before realizing that all the hype surrounding it was pure bullshit. You couldn't give that turd away.
