Playing Need for Speed Underground. At the end of the game, maybe an event or two away from the end. Playing my heart out, frustrated about a drag race I just couldn't win. There's a thunderstorm going on outside I'm not paying attention to, I go to save when the power suddenly drops out. The power came back on after a few seconds, but all that save data was gone. All the work I put into the game getting the car I had and upgraded and just, I was so god damn mad. I took the game disc, which I was playing on the Gamecube, and put it in the palm of my hand and squeezed until it crushed.

I bought a new copy a few days later and started over again and beat the game.
