So last week I went to a Microsoft technical event for developers. They usually give away swag at these things, and the big prize is always a 360. I never win anything at these things ever, until last week, when out of 4 total prizes, I won the 360 Slim. That's about the best thing to happen to me since I got married, and since the birth of my two boys.

I'm kidding, but it is up there in my personal moments of greatness.

I'm not as much of a multiplayer gamer as I used to be. I'm a social gamer, which is a lousy way of saying that I'm turning into a single player type gamer that loves to discuss games with others.

Between kids and work and other crap, I am all over the gaming map. I have turned hard core to retro gaming (playing the first Fallout now, and just got Planescape Torment), and I'm starting to regularly play some D and D. And I love talking about games with friends, on and off line.

In the last few weeks, I've had to line up single player games while we move the 360 downstairs to our "good TV" so that me and the wife have stuff to watch together while we hang out with our little ones... and my oldest son loves Blues Clues and Thomas... anyway it's meant that I don't use my 360 for gaming very much these days, and it's forced me to dust off my older consoles. Besides, we're being prudent with our budget while the missus is out of work, so I have to finally use those other entertainment options that I keep saying I'll use... but don't for one reason or another.

So I like to clear out my saves once I have too many to scroll through to find which of my many characters I want to play... and after too many close brushes with delete death, I finally deleted my main character.

All files gone, including the previous autosaves. I Thought I was deleting some older ones and didn't notice until I was done deleting and I was ready to pull out my main.
