Damn IT!

I knew this would happen. I just didn't think it would happen this soon.

OK, I'm a little weird, I admit it. Here is my thought process; hear me out:

For gaming on my PS3 I like to have two profiles set-up: My main, or, primary profile; the one that I set-up when I first bought my PS3. The account that I have all my friends on, and the one that I keep track of all my trophies for the games that I intend to fully complete 100% and get the platinum.

Then I have a secondary profile set-up aptly named "Rental Profile." As the name implies this profile is the one I use when renting games so the history doesn't count against my primary profile.

Confused? In short I only want games that I intend to get the platinum for to show up under my primary profile. For all other games which I don't necessarily care if I get the platinum or leave a game unfinished, those go under my secondary account.

Why? Because I have mild OCD when it comes to this kind of stuff. It bothers me to have games listed in my history that are incomplete.

Now I only set it up this way a week ago. Everything was going fine until tonight after getting some time in with Uncharted 2. I logged in under my primary account because this is a game I intend to platinum. Well, my girlfriend came home a little while ago and since I had been playing for over an hour already I asked her if she wanted to play Wolfenstein. She said yeah.

So I save my U2 game after just getting to Ch. 5 and exit the game.

Here's where my mistake comes in: I completely forgot that I was playing under my primary profile. So what do I do? I eject U2 and casually insert Wolfenstein, and then proceed to get up to take the dog outside.

It's not until my girlfriend comes to the front door telling me, "Hey, the game won't let me load my game from last night. It only lets me start a new one."

I still haven't realized what she's saying. So I ask her, "Well did you make sure to save last night?"

And then it hits me: It's not loading up a save file because there is no save file to load up! That's because last night she was playing under my secondary profile so that's where the save file is!

Complete horror as this realization dawns on me. It's not her fault because I'm the dumb ass that should have remembered. So now my primary profile has Wolfenstein under my trophy history at 0% (which is exactly what I wanted to avoid) where it shall forever remain as a mark to my stupidity and visible mockery for my lack of responsibility to switch profiles.
