    Perhaps you could scour this thread for the stupidest thing I've said, which of course will automatically be expanded to all 1200+ posts here on CTN - the inevitable bickering is sure to be good entertainment, and if that doesn't push us to 500, I don't know what will.
    Whilst not ignoring your witty and profound contributions to the first ten pages - I simply didn't have the willpower at 1AM local time to re-type the whole ten pages as a reminder.

    I am humberly sorry

          After 3 attempts, one might start suspecting the cube of being at fault - unless every other game works fine.

          I had a similar situation with Magic The Gathering: Battlegrounds and my original XBOX. One day the game just stopped working (as a result of a nice big scratch on it after it was borrowed to someone without my permission), so I went out and happened to track down another one, which also didn't work.

          I wound up disassembling my system and cleaning off a nice layer of dust. Game worked fine afterwards...

            I might have to do that as I'm having an issue with another game...tho it's pretty scratched up...but the 3 FF discs I tried all crashed at different places upon trying to load the game to setting the game up....not that big of a deal really...tho I am gonna have to hunt down that MtG:Battleground game...I haven't played something like that in forever....I have a huge box full of cards just sitting at home one of my old NCO's gave me when I got out of the military....I just don't know anyone local to play against...which is fine...I'm really wanting to get into some WH 40k tabletop..is a group around here...but just having a new baby boy recently and the fact WH 40k is an expensive hobby I'm gonna have to put that off for a while...

              MtG:Battlegrounds was what got me into it - a bit of warning if you've not heard of it before. It's NOTHING like the card game.

              I know nobody local, nor enough people locally who would be interested in it - to invest in the card game.

              That being said however, I do own MTG: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 and 2013... Card game for the interwebs. A tad more limited than most would like, but with 90 cards per deck there's a lot of room for customization. Supposed to be a DLC pack with 5 new combo decks coming out... Looking forward to it.

                  You might check out Shadow Era Trading Card Game - Free TCG for iPhone, Android and Web it's a recent TCG game and the account you make to play on their website syncs with a mobile app for either Android or iPhone. I usually play it when standing around waiting for firmware to load or other things like that...nice looking cards...pretty balanced out now.

                          I think I may have played the card game years ago.

                          I have a hard cover dungeons and dragons book in my attic...
