Being an avid gamer, and having a compassion for video games that are solely for the PlayStation 1 and 2, I decided to make my way to Game Stop, to browse through the giant racket of games specifically for those consoles. Upon inspecting the cluster of games stacked on there, I happened to come across one in particular that seeked my interest.

The game in question was called Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2 for the PlayStation 2. I made my decision to make my purchase and exit the store.

Upon returning home, I had opened the package, and took notice of two games discs instead of just one. I was telling myself how fortunate I was to happen to buy two for the price of one. I took the second game disc out of the packaging, and took a closer inspection. I noticed that it just seemed to be a blank disc with no cover art. I started getting the suspicion that this was just a CD, not a game disc. Either way I still decided to insert the disc on both my PlayStation 1 and 2 consoles to see if it works.

Alright, so after inserting the disc in both consoles, none of them seemed to be compatible with the disc, so my only other option was my laptop.

After inserting the disc into my laptop, my entire laptop monitor went completely black. After about 31 seconds, I was beginning to take this as being some sort of virus, and proceeded to turn off my laptop. As I was about shut it off, my monitor just suddenly reverted back to it's original state, though I took note of something in particular. A new icon was displayed on my screen. The image was what appeared to be a smiling monkey, and another note, the icon was called "Jim" I took this as being rather odd. What on earth kind of file is this? Was it perhaps a video game, or some sort of Trojan?

I hesitated to click on the icon, since I wouldn't want to let a virus into my system and cause serious damage, and I was on a tight budget, so purchasing a new computer would be out of the question.

On another note though, I still had my anti-virus software installed, so in case of any emergencies, it would detect, and remove any malicious software.

I decided to click on the icon, and upon doing so, my laptop just froze in place for about 7 seconds, before noticing that my background image theme

was replaced with the image of that smiling monkey. I waited awhile, but it seemed as if there was really nothing else to this other than the fact that it changed my background theme.My anti-software didn't even pop up, informing me of any threats whatsoever, so I just decided to shrug it off, and browse the web.

While online, I was experiencing some unusual technical difficulties. tabs were just randomly opening up by themselves, and lagging up my entire browser, but not just that, text documents, folders, and such were just popping up on my screen.

I went to check my anti-software, in case I had it turned off, but when I went to check, I couldn't find it anywhere on my computer, no matter how hard I searched. Could it have been deleted?

I decided to re-install the software onto my computer, and getting it up and running again, but whenever I inserted the installation disc into my computer, it just spit it right back out. What the hell was going on?

I was starting to get pretty irritated and regretful about installing the CD in the first place, having the suspicion that it may have affected my computer in some way, shape or form. At this point the only option I had left was system restore, but that still didn't work, due to the fact that whenever I opened it up, an error message would appear on the screen informing me that there was a problem starting system restore.

I considered sending it to the repair shop to get it fixed, and so I did. About 3 weeks later, I received a phone call from the repair shop, telling me that there were problems that prevented my computer from getting repaired, so they had to return it.

I was really baffled at this point. What on earth could be wrong that would make my computer beyond repair? Since I did not have any options left, I decided to just play some Play Station games on my emulator. Afterwards I found my long lost Xbox 360 cluttered in my closet under all my dirty laundry.

I decided to play with it online with my friends on Call Of Duty, since I still had some time on my membership. I slaughtered them in that game so badly, they decided not to play anymore.There are some things I can tell you about me and it's that I've always been aside from being an avid gamer, someone who is always calm in every situation, and never loses his tempter.
