i was playing on command and conquer will eDonkey or wateva was downloading some files.
you know how it is, its raining outside but yout not really paying attention because you must win the war, hehe

so there i was, just launched a weather machine attack, the game was doing all that thunder shit, when a loud clap of thunder happened outside, bang all the electric went off, the bastard went straight through my PC and fried my modem
