Are you one of those people that always accidentally shuts off or unplugs someones console while they are in the middle of a game? I am. And when it happens, boy does it happen.
You see, just a few hours ago my little brother was playing Persona 3. He is about 78 hours into the game, so he is almost finished. He just so happened to be at a part with a long stretch with lots of story, but not so many save points. Since he's been playing for around 2 hours, I think, hey, I'll go play some Dreamcast. Being the dumbass that I am, I wasn't thinking straight. So instead of just putting the TV on another input and leaving the PS2 on, I accidentally
press reset!
For a little kid, he sure knows how to punch. I'm so sorry little buddy, I DIDN"T MEAN TO! ;_;
Have you ever experienced something like this?

I thought nothing of it, turned it off reached for the game he was handing me--and it was at that moment I froze.
Right then I realized that I hadn't saved since I started that morning and I had lost everything.
Sadly I really enjoyed the game too but after losing that much progress I just couldn't bring myself to doing it all over again.
(P.S: The unsubbed version was awesome.)
And for me, the worst "Ugh" moment was saving over my file in Harvest Moon 64. I was like 8, but in the game, I was 2 years in, just married. I was absolutely crushed.
Ever see someone play a game while using their toe to keep the system on, because I sure have. I find it most effect to do during puzzle games.
Other than that, I've only accidentally turned off my DS phat and lite while playing. Either a unfortunate finger slip or bumping the power slider.
Anyway, a similar thing happened. In Ocarina of Time, completing both the Shadow and Spirit temple before completing the game itself, in one sitting. And I didn't save, so when I had to do everything over again, when all I wanted to do was to hunt down those last heart pieces and golden skulltulas.
