It was because of Zelda the Windwaker that I started to hate my gamecube. Long story short, I was half way or more through the game when the dreadful happened. I was taking care of a bunch of boring mini missions and stuff, beat some dungeon, and went around getting all kinds of treasure from the sea depths ( this took like 4 hours or so), when the bastard gamecube locked up. wtf!? The gamecube locked up on me and I lost all kinds of progress that I had made on that game. I was so pissed that I abandoned both windwaker and the gamecube. Later I was reunited with my gamecube because of the best game on the system; Animal Crossing, haha. Ya, that machine is cool but it sucks when it locks up on you. It was this black screen that said to look in my gamecube manual. The manual said to turn off the system. Ya, I guess that is the black screen of death.
