On a complete whim, I got The Movies, and after a few days of being monumentally frustrated, I figured out how to completely ignore the retarded trash-can-placing movie-star babysitter sim aspect of the game and just make movies.
Here's an educational film called Sex Demons and
here's a movie about a gorilla kidnapping a cowboy that got fucked over by whatever retardo light filter the game arbitrarily opted to apply. WMV format.
So I was just working, for about three hours, on a WWII movie in which a pair of US soldiers are walking through a city, and then one of them gets shot and the other is taken hostage by a Nazi, and the US soldier tells him he'll do anything if the Nazi spares him, and the Nazi kisses him deeply and they go into a room and fall in love and I must have gone through, like, every romantic action that you could apply, and then the US soldier wakes up to find an effeminate black man in the bath with the Nazi and he becomes enraged and drags him into the street and stabs him and sets the building on fire and he was JUST ABOUT to chase the Nazi with an axe when the game crashed.
The autosave evidently only works while you're in the god damned studio sim portion of the game, so everything I made was completely fucking lost. I mean, playing video games is a waste of time, we all know that, but playing a video game and then having everything you just did erased or nullified is way the fuck worse. Especially if the result of your work would be a movie about gay Nazis.
So I guess this can be a thread about horrible crashes that have erased your shit that made you want to drown things.
