Some news concerning my data recovery. The guy I gave my external HD to has already started recovering files. He thinks it should be done during the weekend, which means I'll be getting back my HD next monday. Now, the files will not be sorted or have their original names, so I'll have a lot of work going through them and sorting them out in the next couple of weeks. But hopefully, in about 2 or 3 weeks, I should get ready to resume this game.
And once this is done, I'm backing my shit up on google docs. XD
