    I had a ps2 demo disc that had the first level of TS2 (siberian dam) which I played over and over and over. Could never find a copy of it, but I got Timesplitters 1 instead and played it to death and back.
    One day some neighbourhood ‘bad kid’ randomly showed up, acted like he was my friend and asked to borrow it, and I, being the shy, timid, push-over simply said ok.
    Weeks later I would ask for it back, and he would give me some bullshit about how ‘Oh yeah I’ll get it for you, don’t worry’, until finally he said that he had ‘accidentally’ snapped the disc in two.
    A formative experience indeed
