Once we had guests over, (these were they type of people you don't really know, but after they have moved away, and happen to be nearby, they still drop by for a visit), one of the kids they brought with them short circuited my PS2! D: This was because I had failed at opening the good old thing earlier, and screwed up the reset button. To turn it one I had to connect four metal dots with a screwdriver, in order to lead electricity between them, lol. Anyway, this kid supposedly connected the wrong metal dots, and created this short circuit, that made my PS2 trash.
This event made me unable to play Dragon Quest any further, had it not been for the emulator I had installed on my desktop. Yet one day, my little brother lets one of the neighbour kids borrow the Dragon Quest DVD, and this fucking brat ruins the DVD with cracks, and scratches, and what not!
The bottom line of this little story is -- keep brats away from your dearest game equipment or thy shalt miss it! D: (I had finished the game, however, but I still miss it every day!)
