I second everything Urkel said.

Also, as an admin, I can temporarily restore your story so you can save it, and then I'll delete it again. Not sure if you want me to share the title, but I assume your story involved a bunch of blank cartridges and then an evil floating N64 killing the protagonist's friend by impaling him with circuits and wires.

An evil. Floating. N64 .-.

How do you even stab someone with a wire... strangle maybe, but stab? .-. Wires aren't exactly sharp, that'd take a LOT of effort. And why exactly would playing a Wii game trigger an N64 to go evil and spawn a bunch of blank empty cartridges? Wouldn't it make more sense for a Wii game to curse the Wii? I'm not trying to be a condencending ass, but your story just didn't make sense to me. If finding something good is a necessity to you, I guess the protagonist had the common sense to call the police at least... though they should have done that as soon as they found all the cartridges. I can list more things wrong with your story, but I... don't want to. I simply don't want to nitpick everything wrong with the story and end up with a novel-length comment. We're not English teachers, we're not here to teach you. Though we may give constructive criticism on the main issues, we're not obligated to thoroughly explain every detail of every single mistake. Your ability to write is on you, not on us. Resources like this may help: New Writer Guidelines (Regulars Edit as You Please) But why would harsh criticisms bother you if you yourself think the story is terrible? .-.

Anyway, while flat out mean reviews aren't exactly justified, you weren't doing yourself any favours by not reading the rules. Again, while leaving cruel comments isn't justified, finding a story that is not only terrible but also breaks the rules tends to put people in an unpleasant mood. The first edit you posted of the story was unfinished, even though works in progress aren't allowed here.

Right, so back to admin-stuff, do you want me to restore your story so you can save it? I will delete it after you save it though, and you shouldn't repost it.

Lastly, I suggest you to try to be less sensitive… you're going to get hurt online. A lot. People are mean everywhere on the internet, and hell, even in real life. A thick skin comes in handy. I'm sorry you were hurt though in any case :\
