Picture the scene: You are happily sitting down playing MGS 2 in your room and have been for the past few hours. You have taken you time as you want to collect all the dog tags that you can so to get the nice little extras that are on offer at the end. Having collected enough to get stealth for the whole game you come to solidus, the final boss. Yes!! you think, almost done and the pritty little thing known as stealth is almost mine. Quite easily you dispence of Mr Solidus and decide to watch the ending scene as last time it left you a little miffed.
So i sit there, concentrating on the final scene when my sister bursts into the room, runs across the floor wipping the pad out of the port with force thus pulling the PS2 forward and disconnecting the power plug...and the TV goes black.
Now picture me throtelling my sister for wrecking 2 hours work and collecting dog tags with no save in between and thinking of all that effort lost.
I am not a happy bloke.

If this is spam, what isn't?
I've had something similar happen to me. I had just unlocked the last 4 levels on the original SSX. Including untracked. This had taken me about 4 hours of constant play. To my horror, my sister came into the room, tripped over the wire, pulled the PS2 to the ground, turned the PS2 off, and permanantly damaged my CD. I had to use car polish to fix it (it really works! :D). This left thousends of visible scratches on the disk, although the disk still works.
As a result of this, not only did I lose 4 hours of hard work, but no shops will part-exchange my copy of SSX. This leves me with both SSX and SSX Tricky, meaning I don't need SSX.
One time, I asked the local market how much they would give me for the game. They said £15. So I rushed home, picked up the game and returned. Show them the game, to which they replied "nah, no one will buy that off us". DAMMIT!
To this day, my sister won't pay me the money for the game. But I'm just gratful it didn't ruin my PS2 (which still cost £300 at the time!).
Bah, you were lucky.

To be honest i dont get it, people complain about spam, then when they post something different, still to do with games, has some thought put into and is readable still some people complain, why?...beats me.
On a brighter note, im back to where i was before the 'accident'.
Stealth rules. :D

Spam? Erm...dont think so. Did you notice something about the post, read it first, you know, with those sensors in your head...thats right, eyes. Firstly, is informative, something that happened to me, i found it destressing, then funny. I thought id tell some people about, kind of an experience you know... hell, i thought it might start a small discussion. Guess not. Its also quite well written you know, not the usual *MGS 2 is really gr8 dont ya fink*.
Anyway, suppose now then everyone is going to think that everything is spam if it doesnt discuss something serious...
*goes to type something that isnt seen a spam but still gets no replies*

I hate it when that happens. I remember the time when i had spent over 60 hours on Gran turismo 1 and i took it round to my mates. I had one of those dodgy 24 in one memory cards. On the memory card there was a diplay that showed which memory card u was surrently using. U could change memory card by pressing R1 L1 and select and the number on the display would change. At the end though there was a F. When u let go of the buttons on F it wiped the whole card. All 24 of them.
So there we were. Me and my m8. We were doing a joint GT game together and we wanted to save our progress. Unfortunately the selected card on my 24 in 1 was full. Because his PS2 was under the workstation he had, it was hard to see the display. So he looked at the display to tell me what it was on while i changed it using the controller. Then all of a sudden he goes "It's on this weird one" I go "ERR?" He replys "Come and look" So i did carefully holding down the buttons to make sure i didn't let go (obviously). As i bent to look (You know what i mean) i could see the memory card was on F! OMG i thought. I had to get those buttons held dwon. Then to my disbeleif my m8 grabbed the controller saying he would choose while i look at the display. There was nothing i could do. Everthing had gone. All my beutifal saved games!
It's just one of those things i'm afraid. Kill your sister, claim compensation...and hire yourself a konami professional to get you back to where u were.
