Livid. But It's Just a Game..

So when I got my laptop a year and a half ago, one of the applications I downloaded was Project 64, an emulator which enables me to play Nintendo 64 video games. I downloaded my favorites, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, and Super Mario 64.
I started playing Ocarina of Time and would play at my leisure, so I played for like over a year. I got stuck at the dreaded Water Temple because the keys on my laptop wouldn't zero in on the exact pixel I needed to hookshot onto, so then I got tired of that game and started playing Super Mario. I had a lot of fun playing that game, and my goal is to get all 120 stars. I didn't start playing Majora's Mask because I wanted to beat Ocarina of Time first. I was able to figure out how to get unstuck but still played Super Mario, and I wound up getting 104 stars.

This past weekend my laptop would not turn on, and I wound up having to take it to get fixed by getting a new hard drive. They were able to save my files, but not the files that has my saved games information.

I just lost a year and a half's progress in my video games.

...I don't plan on looking at those games for a while. Instead I downloaded Pokemon Snap! and will download Mortal Kombat 3.

I guess there could be worse things in life.. it's just a game after all.
