Just an idiot Halo fan venting his problems.

Hello HBO, I haven't been a member of this particular forum for long but I have been a long-time halo fan. guess I got a sob story to tell based on what happened to me today. just need to get it off my chest so I can feel alittle better.

I was doing some cleaning on my old model 360 today when I stupidly dropped the HDD on the ground. it was only about a 3 ft. drop but it hit a hard surface. I panicked and popped the HDD back in only to fear the worst has happened, my data, all of it, got corrupt. the HDD went into an "unformatted" state and from everything I was told its a lost cause to try to get anything back.

Whelp, no big deal right? just re-download the profiles and get your download/purchase history back right?

...Well you see HBO, I'm a particular weird case.

First off I like to link you to a Bungie.net thread I made:
http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=44105582

So you see based on that story, I've have had a bad case of account corruption for awhile.

Anyways, you see since the account was corrupt the ONLY (and I mean only) way to get anything I lost today was to access it from the console itself which is now gone to reformatland, where data goes to die.

So after having a mental breakdown and crying my eyeballs out like a 20 year old little baby, I realized I only have myself to blame and looking back on it and based on the events of what happened today, I should've known better then to keep it or at least back things up, Karma must've caught up with me.

But I don't feel as bad as what I did to my younger brother and sister. my sister had her own corruption-free gold account (smart girl) but my brother used gamerguy2002 with me. all his saves, achievements, hard earned data, everything *poof* gone in 3 seconds. and worst out of all this, like a fucking idiot my download/purchase history was mainly on gamerguy2002, so everything I bought (which was probably a couple $100 in stuff) gone as well. my sister's account luckily had 1-2 items downloaded that I don't need to buy back, But A new gold account, Halo Reach, and 2 of its map packs along with allot of other stuff I'll had to grind for at my low-level grunt job to get everything back. I want to make it right, for them because they don't deserve to suffer for my screwup.

Thing I'm going to miss most right now is hopping on Reach. see I had some trouble before and I lost Reach for an entire year due to 2 discs being eaten by a faulty disk drive then I caught a lucky break when I got Reach for $10 as a digital download from a friend. But I did pay off Halo 4 LE so I guess I'll just start anew in a month. oh and all the neat little extras I got along the way like the Halo CEA pre-order skull and the Sargent Johnson skin for ODST among other pre-order stuff. oh and the H2 map packs that can't be re-downloaded, God I'm an idiot...

As for gamerguy2002? well its nothing more then a year long XBL gold ghost, nobody can't transfer it onto their consoles and it can't be logged on to xbox.com or anything so it just sits there until it expires and eventually MS removes it for inactivity.

Thanks for letting me vent HBO. Your good guys for letting a damned moron moan on like this. :)
