I cheated and I lost

Right!  So I’ve been playing BioShock and I love it.  It’s a very very good game, but somewhere along the way I decided I am more interested in the story of Rapture than I am actually fighting things, or trying not to die- so I cheated.   I figured it’s a lot simpler to find those audio recordings and such if I am invincible. so I did that,   well turns out the game doesn’t think that’s very funny.    To avoid giving away any spoilers (because I hate that shit)   I managed to edit the wrong memory location and apparently any item I picked up  got it’s maximum value  punched in.  So If  I picked up a quest item that I needed to find more than one of,  well, it was at max value after the first pick up so the second pick-up is like ” nuh-uh, you no pick me up! bad!”   Which sucks, cause I can’t progress in the game.  So I lost like literally 5 or 6 hours of game play because I got dishonest.   The lesson here?  Always be honest!  I suppose the other lesson here could be that if you are going to be dishonest always be careful with which memory addresses you are going to fiddle with.
