Hopefully you can get the HD to work long enough to salvage the save file, otherwise you're in for a few hours of Daikatana experience grinding.

.....ugh.

Well, I had some other stuff to talk about here, like how this next map manages to suck every ounce of atmosphere out of whatever was created during the last map, but current events dictate that I have to discuss my current state of affairs regarding my computer.

Lemme guess. Your hard drive died.

Uh.........yeah. How in the fuck did you know?

Because you posted it earlier.

Fucker.

But in all seriousness, I could have told you that was going to happen last week. See, I might not design engines like Carmack does, but I like to leave my own little treat in my games.

I'm not liking where this is going. Exactly what treats are you talking about?

Well, Daikatana is an expert FPS, as we all know.

Yes, we're aware.

So here's the deal. I didn't want anyone cheating through my game. That's not what experts do.

.........OK?

Yeah, so I coded it in that every time you'd use a cheat code, the game would start processing more and more data from the hard drive until it eventually overheated the platters and destroyed the hard drive.

Are you fucking serious?

As a heart attack.

What on God's green earth made you think this was a good idea?

It's not. But fuck cheaters. You, Proteus, were just made my bitch. Yet again.

You cocksucking bast-

Hey, next time stop noclipping. Bitch.
