I was 2 hours into Xenogears, had been playing and waiting for a save point for an hour, when it freezes during a cutscene. Like, a still of the anime cutscene, but the audio was actually every cutscene of the game starting from the beginning. Wtf. I Googled and apparently you just apply some -r thing from command prompt, which restarts the game, which means if I ever want to continue the story I have to replay that hour of needlessly long dialogue. So I'm pretty much done with that game forever, which is sad because I hear it's great and I was enjoying it very much.

This pisses me off twice as much as it normally would (which would be pretty pissed) because earlier I had audio problems with Max Payne, which will persist even if I buy the game. And neither Max Payne title supports gamepad use, so I'm stuck with a mouse like some computer fag, which I don't have.

I just want to play old games on my crappy computer in my room with no tv with no money to buy a console or a tv. Is that too much to ask??? ;_;
