Retry, Retry Again (Psion)

You try retry, figuring maybe the game will work itself out. Unfortunately, like that old Pete and RePete joke, you find yourself stuck in a perpetual loop. Apparently with this game there is no try, and there is no do. Only "not do" is an option. After about the twentieth retry, a different kind of "not do" breaks the monotony. The orange letters now read, "Hardware error: PC Error Fix."

Well, that's hardly useful. What hardware do you want to fix?

Try to mind-meld with the machine

Stammer uselessly at the techs

My Cup-holder Broke
After everything crashes down around you, you head to one of the techs and start telling them what went wrong so they can fix it. Well, that was your original plan, at least. Sadly, you're pretty clueless about these things, so you just kind of yammer like fool. Okay, maybe that's a bit mean, let's say you yammer like a noob. You really only manage to confuse the techs who tell you they'll "get right on that," and hand you something from behind the counter. You're pretty sure it's just to shut you up, but still, it could be useful.
