Perhaps due to hasty decisions and failure to read my ps3's manual; I -whilst trying to set up my dusty old PSN account and pull off some rather vain customizations to the XMB- have inadvertently deleted my MGS4 save data (i.e. all of my ps3 save data). I would tell you all where I was progress-wise, but I'm afraid it's a bit of a spoiler. Let me just say that this loss saddens me immensely.

I've already called Sony to see if there was a way to recover, and was only reminded of the back-up function. Although the representative did tell me that she was also playing through the game and was understanding of my loss and offered a little consoling, she even asked about my method of playing (minimal kills and alerts, friendly to rebels, face camo collecting etc. etc.)

It's not as though replaying the first portion of the game would be detrimental (there is always more information to glean) &I have already enlisted the help of a friend to speed-run back to where i was previously.

My only fear is having to defeat laughing octopus once again. A boss fight I consider to be the most unnerving in the history of metal gear. She scared the shit out of me. There I said it.



I swear I heard her say that.




p.s. This will be the last of my somber posts. I will now be channeling the unrestrained happiness of Chad Concelmo.
