[General Discussion] Bad Memories associated with Games?

Broke up with a loved one while you bought MGS2? Did you have a nasty fight with someone while you were just enjoying Sonic 3? When you play that same game years later, do you still recall what unfornate event happened when you first played it?

Talk about it in this thread. In my case, it would be Castlevania III for the NES. The same day I purchased it, I got hit with a nasty fever. Despite my claims, my dad egged me on to attend the Little League game that same day. I felt crappy as I waited for my turn to take the bat, but I tried to endure. I managed to get a good hit that got me to first and one of my teammates to score. The crowd cheered, but as soon as I stepped on that plate, I ran a few extra feet and puked in the grass. :/

The fever lasted a good week, with the occasional hurling in my toilet. So to this day, I still get a small queezy feeling in my stomach whenever I replay the game. Pretty unfortunate since it was probably the best of the three NES games.

A recent addition would have to be FFXII, sadly. I waited a long time for the game, but by the time it came out I got hit with a rather continous streak of stress and bad luck. It involved a problem with one TV, and 3 additional months of juggling around a couple more TVs, along with some electrical problems that overall have kept me from truly enjoying the game. As of this writing I'm still barely halfway done, but now I feel that most of my problems are gone, so there shouldn't be any further delays. But the last few months have really sucked for me.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Should've forced him to pay you back for the disc. :/

That reminds me of another unforunate moment; my missing Super Mario 2 cart. One day, less than a month after receiving the game as a present, my cart just vanished one day. We tore the house inside and out but could never find it. I also interrogated a few of my friends too, who denied up and down that they took it (even though a couple of them weren't exactly upstanding kids. What's worse, I lost contact with them shortly after).

I never found out what happened to it, and I never owned another copy of the game until Super Mario Allstars.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Did you try HD Loader? That, along with a hard drive, a PC, and the right torrent sites and you'd be all set.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Ouch. Brings up another memory. I cut my hand up pretty badly a few days after I got Xenogears. It wasn't bad enough to keep me from playing, but the doctor had to stick a syringe right in the wound to numb it up. The pain was unbearable.

Although I don't recall this whenever I replay XG, so it wasn't a bad enough experience.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Wrong - surgery + Wii-mote swinging = ouch!!

This is why future Nintendo games need to incorporate a standard controller option.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Or sensitivity adjustments.

It does. Didn't you know?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
