Seriously, is there anything more annoying going through a game's challenge mode or time trials or whatever and having to wait 30 fucking seconds for the damn thing to load?

Right now I'm trying to beat Training Mode on HOTD2 and the load times make it so much more annoying. I'm stuck on Training Mission 8, which is completely fucking evil. You have to shoot zombies off the front of about eight or nine swerving cars, with the fifth and sixth car going around in two quick circles then veer off the screen. The full mission lasts probably around 90 seconds and my attempts rarely make it past the fifth car, meaning that loading time to retry is almost as long as the attempt.

God, I miss cartridges. I also miss the Gamecube discs. They may have limited the size of games, but they sure did cut down load times.
