Just then, his gaming buddy, Alex, walked into the room. "Hey, Jim, what's going on?" he asked, noticing the look of despair on Jameson's face.
The frustration was palpable as Captain Jameson stared at the error message on his screen: "Sniper Ghost Warrior serial key is invalid." He had been looking forward to playing this game all week, and now it seemed like he wouldn't be able to enjoy it after all.
As the error message continued to taunt him, Jameson's frustration turned to anger. Who gave someone a game with an invalid serial key? He thought about calling his brother, but he knew he would just get a laugh and a "tough luck" out of him.
Alex chuckled. "Well, that's a bummer. But don't worry, we can try to fix it."
"Thanks, Alex," he said, grinning at his friend. "I owe you one."
