Reality Out of Sync

I am just about livid. My room mate, who is not really a technological marvel has annoyed me to the nth degree today. I’ve been letting him play MAG on my PS3 account, which is fine. It’s normally not a problem, I just make sure to tell him don’t TK don’t speak to anyone, etc., etc., because I am part of a clan. I try to give him tips so he doesn’t mess up my kill to death ratio (that didn’t go so well it’s totally hosed but whatever). I decided to make him an account on my PS3 and then let him play his own guy. Which he’s been doing. Fantastic. Yah, except he uses the same theme as me because apparently it’s “cool” or whatever. It’ s just a bunch of anime characters from Death Note, Bleach, so on and so forth. Yay, I get points for being cool. Yah, now you can’t tell the two accounts apart without going to see who specifically is logged in.

I’ve discovered that all of my gaming data for Final Fantasy is on his account, because he didn’t log it out. Not a problem, okay stay calm. I copy all 34 saves (I’ve racked up over 24 hours of play, which isn’t a lot really, but it’s stuff I don’t want to do over again) over to my account on the same PS3. Fantastic. Load it up and get a nice warning telling me trophies will be disabled, can’t over write the saved data, and I can’t save my game.

WTF

Well that is just fan-fucking-tastic. I’m so pissed off. That means I have to play everything all over again in order to get the trophies I had back, and get to the point I’m at right now. It’ s such a waste of time. I just can’t even pick up the controller at this point. I don’t want to do it all over again. Needless to say, I’ll be changing my god damned theme, and telling him to log the hell out at the very least. I mean I specifically said to log in to my account and start Playstation @ Home (or whatever they call it, it’s basically folding proteins). Failure on his part of course. I can’t say I’ve ever felt like my time has been wasted to such a degree ever. Maybe talking to some tier 1 support monkey — but at least you can go to tier 2.

If anyone knows how to move save game data on a PS3 from one account to another (I don’t care how involved it is) without having to replay everything, or having my saves disabled and trophies disabled — that would be great. I really do not care how long it takes. I’m not replaying 24 hours of Final Fantasy XIII again. It’s a total waste of time, and I can’t even skip anything because the game is so linear at the point I’m at. This is the fail that occurs regularly in my life.

Yep, the skirts never did get this short at my school =-( More Fail in the life of prata
