Curse You, Microsoft

July 22, 2009 by Nat 8 Comments

Curse you, Microsoft, your crappy UI design, and that piece of junk called a dashboard. I loathe your ten step click and move process to do anything. My son and I booted up the 360 to play a little LEGO Indy co-op and by a combination of button presses on both controllers, we just purchased ‘Splosion Man. There goes my Fallout 3 DLC. This arcade game had better be good. (Just another in a long line of reasons I cannot wait for our 360 to bite it.)

    This happened to us, too! One day the wife and kids were playing the 360 and the next day, unbeknownst to anybody, we were the proud owners of Boogie Bunnies. Luckily, my wife loves the game, so it works out, but I thought this only happens to me!

    But it’s not specific to the 360 or Microsoft. My 2 y/o son purchased Guitar Hero on my cell phone. I still have no idea how that happened.

    I don’t want to go into any detail…yet, but this was the best mistake we could have ever made.

    How did your Fallout DLC disappear?

    Teaser! Dun dun dunn!

    And yeah, did your Fallout DLC go bye-bye? Or did you have some points set aside for it?

    I think it was more that the money allocated for Fallout DLC got spent on ‘Splosion Man.

    Which is a worth trade, in my opinion.

    Hopefully you’ve found out by now that Splosion Man rocks. I’m only about 4 levels into the game, but I’m having fun with it. I’d also recommend you checking out The Maw, of you haven’t already.
