I want to hear all of your funny gaming stories, whether they are hilariously funny, or just moderately amusing, i want to hear them. Have you had an unfortunate power-cut problem (snigger)? Have you accidentally dropped your PS2 down some stairs (kkknkkn)? Ever been sick in the toilet of a well known gaming industry party (you know who you are Ben). Get writing all of you, or you are all banned. Joking.

I once got a 240V electric shock when fixing my spectrum plug whilst it was still plugged in......but that wasn't funny!

Do you have a discount, buying from your own company, or do you have to pay the whole price?

I had just bought Ultimate Soccer manager 98, and while doing quite poor i picked myself up, and after I had just beaten Celtic and Rangers (as ABERDEEN) there was the only power cut i have been in took place and I lost the start of that new season because i had not saved.

I was very VERY annoyed since i started again and got sacked!

Ooh ooh, i've got another one. I remember buying Premier Manager 98 a few years back and getting really engrossed in it. After about 7 hours non-stop managing I finally decided to save my game only to be horrified that the game took up 15 blocks on a memory card and i had none spare. Luckily, i had to go to work and I worked somewhere that you could buy memory cards. I left the machine on and went to do my 2 hour shift, bought a memory card and came back only to find my whole street engulfed in darkness due to a power cut.

Needless to say, the PM 98 disc never recovered from being thrown across the room.

At least it wasn't 3 broken arms....how did you break your arms playing ISS? Well, someone has to ask, don't they?

I was once playing on ISS98 with one of my mates when we got a little over excited and I ended up with 2 broken arms.
Another time I spilled yoghurt inside my playstation and ( while the power was still on ) tried to get it out. nasty electrocution there.
