I was soooo excited that BF2's coming out.

Then, my video card dies :(

sigh.

I just got a new one to replace the old. no biggie ok.
I get BF2 in on the Fry's deal for 37 bucks (woohoo!)

But they ran out of the DVD's :(

Anyways, I get my copy, open it, and find that EA stacked the CD's in spindle formation :| grrr. ok.

now I spend an hour looking for the CD KEY noooo!

Installation instructions say "back of the case.." but why put it in the back of the case?

I look everywhere, and I couldn't find it. My roommates and I are completely blind. After digging through the box, i was about to give up when my roommate walks up behind me and looks @ the manual I was casually holding.

hahahaa, it's behind the manual @ the top! derr!

k, not much of an exciting story hehe, so here's another:

------------------------



I was working on installing a new cash acceptor @ an arco gas station (you know, you go up to one of those things next to the gas pump, insert cash or credit, blah..). So there I am w/ a huge security guard (required, since cash is involved inside the unit) installing and testing. The whole unit is open (like how someone is putting new cans of soda into a vending machine).

Then I hear a couple beeps. "Oh crap, something's up!!"

...

Err..

Only to find out that a lady was trying to put cash into the cash acceptor unit, while I was working on it. WTF!

"oh mmm, so this isn't working?" says the curious, heavyset, but kind lady :)


I was about to burst out laughing, so I walked away from the scene, and the kind, but huge, tatoo'ed security officer explains to her, "No ma'am, we're currently working on this at the moment, I apologize for the inconvenience. Please go inside to the register to pay for gas, thanks."


::sigh::



can't blame her, because you know why? I was stupid enough to take me 1 hour to find the CDKEY of BF2 ahahahha. Just that sometimes, our brains tend to fart now and then :)

Ahh... the CD key... so many people have posted about not being able to find it. Stupid EA.

Some people can be so unattentive these days. But arco :thumbsup: very cheap gas in my area.

Derr!

I hate that CD Key crap, they always wear off the stickers, so I suppose being on the manual is agood thing.
