I'm old now, but Waltz' anecdote reminds me of one of my favorite memories

I was maybe 15 and hanging out with my friend Adam. We had made a bonfire in his back yard and were shooting the shit when suddenly his dad burst through the back door. He marched straight up to the fire, snapped a CD he was holding in half and threw it into the flames before sitting down next to us.

Apparently he bought CIV 3 a few weeks earlier and couldn't stop himself from playing the famous one more turn and decided to destroy the game to free himself
