Today, not only could I not play Skyrim, I couldn't even get the xbox started properly.

It gave me the starting screen, then it wouldn't go beyond that. I looked up the problem, and it said that the hard drive was in need of repair. With it being late enough that any gamestop or similar store would be closed, I tried playing with a usb drive.

It would autosave at all the usual places, going into menus or out of buildings, but when I failed to pickpocket someone and I tried to use that save, it would tell me that I needed a profile. I let the guards kill me, assuming that it would kick me back to my last save. Hello, title screen! No saves for you!

Tried recovering my profile, it demanded an xbox 360 storage device. Apparently, usb does not count, and I just have to reformat my hard drive or something.

If I find out that Skyrim did this, I'm going to have to know how far I can push profanity on my blog. That hard drive had more than just my level 54 Khajit, it had assasin's creed 1 and 2 at about 95% completion, the "monument to all your sins" achievment in halo reach, amoung other things on several other games.
