swearing off ps2.

This entry contains spoilers of THUG 2, just about one level's whereabouts.

exactly 5 minutes ago my playstation 2 froze in the middle of playing Tony Hawk Underground 2. I have been waiting to play that game since the rumors spread. I love the whole crew on the game. Tony Hawk, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Chad Muska etc... I've been playing it for two weeks now and I was on the New Orleans level, the 5th one I think and I was saving the game when it froze. Hoping the game would simply return to the last place I saved, I restarted the machine. When I got the THUG2 loading screen I noticed something odd. My character wasnt the one spinning the big wheel, which it should be. I went to Load Game and my saved file of two weeks of agonizing play was all gone within 2 minutes. It said "Damaged". My jaw dropped and I chucked the ps2 controller at the ground. I'm what you might call an "intese gamer" I dont look much like the type to play them, but when I am, Its all that matters right then. Now, don't call me a baby or a freak for crying over this but I am also a girl and it pissed me off immensely. Even on the memory card it says "Corrupted File" I never want to play ps2 ever again. Ever. But if any of you can help or know how to regain the corrupted file, you will be in my heart forever. I mean it too, I never forget things like this. *sigh* I think a part of me just died from that cursed box freezing. God damn you ps2...God damn you.

To grow frustrated over a single accident such as that is no reason to swear off PS2 for ever. There shall be other games, each much greater than the last. Just keep calm...

Was this memory card official or some third-party card?

Well I was playing it with a friend and we were so intense into it and we built up my chars stats and everytime I play it its like very intense....and it was like just a playstation 2 8mb memory card, the ones in the yellow packaging
it's cool to be that intense with a vid game, hell I cried when my guild beat rallos zek the warlord in eq ( anybody who's been in a casual guild that's done that can relate :P ). Anywho I wish I could help ya chica, the only think I can think of is to buy a new memory card because if its anything like a computer hard drive...its fooked. If you can find someone who lives next to you...you can always copy their data and remake the skater...but I realize this isn't the same. I guess starting over is all you can really do :(
Yellow packaging? Yeah, that's official.
It's quite unusual for official cards to corrupt. Unfortunately, doesn't look like there's much that can be done; although if you write to Sony about the problem, they may replace it for free or something like that.
