I bought Alan Wake yesterday and went nuts over the game. Amazing story, engrossing plot, creepy want to crap yourself moments here and there, but what I didn't realize was, Alan enjoys redirecting death blows.
Normal in video games you say? Well.. not when he redirects it at the X-Box itself! Strange story? Well, coming from a game like this, expect one. I was enjoying the game greatly, playing through it with no signs of real trouble yet till a group of Taken surround and attempt to eat my flesh. Well, I thought, I'm going to be screwed. So I dodged and dodged again, but as my life dwindled, and the death blow was imminent... AS the axe was dropping on my skull... Error 47, Hardware failure.
Alan Wake protected himself by destroying the X-box's hardware! Well, probably wasn't him but you have to admit the irony of the situation. I tried a few times after i took the game out and it wasn't an eternal darkness moment, the system died.
Has anyone else had a moment like this? I'm just curious to see some interesting, ironic failure stories or similar moments.
