Whats risky is if the power goes out during the storm and while your game is saving.

...I always liked it when the electricity ran through the house and fried my older game systems.

..oh..wait..no I did'nt. =X

Definately bad if the power goes out and you lose your data, and possibly get corrupted. Aye.

I use my computers and gamecubes (yes, both are plural) during storms. Although, I never go online with PSO during a storm, incase the power goes out at any time (mostly saving). I can handle it if the power goes out while offline, but online, i'll lose a bunch of items. I ahve yet to get a fried system, and hopefully I won't, ever, ::knocks on wood::

It is risky to play during a thunderstorm though, if there's a power surge, if you're worried about it, then turn off the computer and GC and don't play them until it's passed, or died down.

I thought it was pretty much risky to play or use anything Electrical (Without a surge protector whatsit) during a thunderstorm.

first sign of thunder i turn the computer off.

wouldn't wanna risk frying it http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

was pretty bad thunder and lighting in ireland today.
funny enough, it was the hottest day of the year.

anyone ever get weird headaches or other pains when a storm is coming?? i always seem to get this throbbing above my eyes and a sharp pain in my left wrist.

well enough about me rambling on about thunder bolts of lighting (very VERY frighting!).

PEACE!!!

So, does this means, that If im playing PSO and the electricity goes out [power surge] do I still get corrupted or lose my PSO data? Even if im not saving?

Thanks for any replies. ^_^
