God I really *swear word* hate people who do that. Just makes you want to be a hacker so you can send a crippling virus over to their computers doesn't it? My blood boils just reading about it...
Anyway, one of my worst experiences was from more than 6 years ago (gosh, has it really been that long?), back when I was still playing Gameboy and Pokemon. My parents have never been supportive of my gaming, so the only Gameboy I ever had was the original GameBoy Pocket, which was a present from my mum's friend in '96 or '97 (means I played it for 7 years...), and the first (and only) game for it that i got which I actually wanted came a few years later - Pokemon Yellow
Anyway I spent a year or so taking my time and playing it slowly, and was mighty pleased with my progress. One fine day I decided to finish the thing and went to battle the Elite Four. The most difficult series of battles, it took my a lot of tries to do it. Imagine my delight when, by a random, computer-generated stroke of luck, I managed to beat them! It was a really intense fight so i saved the game and switched if off to rest a while. 30mins later i was feeling random so i decided to start a new game just for fun (i'd done this many times before) - the intention was just to muck about and not save. Err, I think you can probably guess what I accidentally did... :crying: <headdesk>
I haven't touched Pokemon or my GameBoy since. I still have it though, and i'm pretty sure it still works, except for some mould growing between the LCD and plastic outer covering. The display itself is fine, I just can't see what it's displaying... :cheeky:
