Poll: When games crash/freeze ....

[Dark Prophet]

Well it really depends of the game and mostly how much time did I loose. I broke one game disc after loosing an hour for the second time. It was C&C Red 2 and I had done a mission for an hour and it crashed then I waited several minutes to cool down and gave it another go and then it crashed again in the same stage of the mission having taken almost an hour again after that I calmly took out the disc and calmly broke it to half. Mostly though I get angry and try again after some time and try to remeber to save more often.

I get pissed at it. I yell really loud. Then the next day I'll try again.

Usually, I hit all the buttons on the controller to see if it'll do anything. Wait and see if it'll unfreeze itself. When it doesn't, I shut it off, ignore the game for a couple days out of annoyance, and then go back and do it again. I usually go back to it anyways. I save as often as possible so usually, I don't get set back too terribly far.

Yell "Fuck it" walk of and come back to it later.

Every time this happens, I walk out onto the street in front of my house, wait for a passer by, and punch them in the face. I then walk back inside, by which time the computer has sorted itself out.

Judging by your avatar I'm guessing you have to punch a lot of people in the face then!

What an insightful young fellow (I hope). I'd give you a cookie, but I threw all of mine into the Sun =(

I usually just hurtle obscenities at my TV for a few minutes, then I go do something...therapeutic...whatever that may be...

I'd lend you some but I ate all mine as comfort food after my Fallout 3 crashed for the 50th time.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

I get upset but normally I just restart the game. Not that big of a deal unless I hadn't saved in a while.

Changing the title of the forum to: "When you own an xbox 360, and it, (as it's programmed to, apparently) destroys your data and kills itself..."

 

[damselgaming]

Don't get me started on the Sims 3, pretty much the only PC game I play, got 11 generations into my family... it crashed whilst saving and everthing was gone. I felt a little bit of pain in my heart. But oh well.

 

[ender214]

I punch something, then reload the game and try again. If it insists on continuing to freeze, I google for a fix.

 

[Disaster Button]

I actually stare at the blank/frozen screen in disbelief, begging, swearing, pleading withc crossed fingers and making another deal with God, hoping my game will magically reappear. It doesn't.

 

[DamienHell]

rage quit and leave, this type of situation bugged me the most with mass effects lack of auto-save (without changing locations) so on huge levels like noveria I would die and lose 20+ minutes of progress.
