return to sender day
So I turned on Viva Pinata 2 a few days ago and very suddenly got a ton of crates returned to me.
Long story short, I had tried to transfer some things over to Dave and for some reason they never actually GOT to him. I had basically already given up hope of ever seeing my money or pinata again.
But hey, they came back!
One of them had over a million chocolate coins in it.
It was a good day.

360 save data makes me cry so many tears
So I have an xbox 360.
I also have a copy of Viva Pinata 2: Trouble in Paradise.
I also have a removable memory unit, which I made the mistake of making save data on.
When I made a garden, In the aforemantioned game, and saved it on the aforementioned memory unit. Unfortunately, the game is sort of buggy (not a huge shocker: in the first the first game, I had INVISIBLE CAT CREATURES which I found endlessly amusing).
Most recently, when when I tried to fire one of my migrant Security Guards (yes, you can hire those in this game, for the 99.97% of people that do not play this game) he decided (for some reason) to hang around, and was basically taking up space. I could not select him to pay and/or fire him, So I decided to ignore him. At some point he just because a DECORATION.
I dug a pond around him and planted flowers, thinking (at the time) that it would be extremely funny when I invited people to the garden for multiplayer sessions.
Eventually I realised that I had things I needed to achieve, and having random fixtures (i.e, dudes) in the garden was keeping me from actually getting anything done. In fact, he actually kept me from romancing pinatas a few times. (This is a bad thing.)
I have three different garden saves (which chronicle all of the money I have made, and pinatas I have collected) on the hard drive, so I got a bright idea that deleting the save data on the memory unit and starting a new game in the same place would fix my problem.
I logged out of the game and went to the 'system' tab and deleted the data on my memory unit (VERY clever, I thought). Unfortunately after I deleted the save data, the VP:TIP save data was no longer accessible in the main menu. I went out of the game, into the dashboard and decided to check that the data on the hard drive hadn't mysteriously dissappeared.
As I expected, there was nothing on the memory unit, but the same three saves were still on the hard drive. Calling shennannigans and spouting curse words, I rebooted the 360 in hopes that it would understand the error of its ways.
It didn't.
At this point I was very nearly in tears. (And just admitting that makes me feel like a retard, but please read on.)
Losing save data on 360s is sort of a running theme with me- it happened once when my first hard drive died (losing me 120+ hours of gameplay on Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, and several hours (lots more 120,) on the first Viva Pinata. It happened again when I moved in with my boyfriend, and tried to free up some space on my hard drive. Similar amounts of data were lost. (which now that I think of it was probably a whole lot more.)
After a call to Microsoft Xbox support (I made Dave call because I was too frustrated to form actual sentences,) it became blatantly obvious that I was never going to get my save data back, even though it is still there. Taunting me.
I cannot believe I keep putting up with this abuse.
I must be a masochist.
