Ding! That’s a wrap – Complete the story mode on any difficulty. A woman was screaming at the top of her lungs at a man who was trying to take her baby, she chased him up and down the road and attacked him, he attacked her back, she tried to get into her car but he pulled her out – and all this was happening while I was just trying to get past the damn eighth chapter of this phenomenal game! Thankfully the woman succeeded in driving away, with the baby.Īt 2:24 a.m I put the controller down, having finished Mirror’s Edge.
A domestic fight had broken out right outside of our lounge, on the roadside. It was around 12:30 a.m and I was half-way through chapter 8 of 9. Future dire consequences aside, it didn’t matter – nothing was going to spoil my night. Well, you can probably imagine that didn’t quite go according to my original plan.
When the flatmates got back they let me know that they happened to strike a conversation with my boss, they just wanted to reassure her that I was using my time off well, playing video games. The flatmates went shopping that night without me because there was no way I was standing up until I finished this frustrating and clunky yet still absolutely fantastic masterpiece of a game. Not wanting to spoil my experience I told them I’d already taken some time off for the game – that was a lie that backfired in a pretty hilarious way. During my playthrough, my flatmates came home and had the audacity to question why I was not at work. I jumped straight to Level 1 – The Prologue and got my first Trophy in Mirror’s Edge at 5:52 p.m. I honestly think this is the first game I had ever experienced true hype for. There must have been a fan working there because I walked out with my fresh One Day Rental copy of Mirror’s Edge and I was literally trembling with anticipation. I didn’t think they’d even have it in stock but I had no other option. On the evening of November 15th, 2008 I called in sick to work and made my way down to the local video rental store.
