BongoBob Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Well this sucks. Some hacker in God knows where managed to make the hard drive on my gaming rig implode, so now I have to migrate all my crap (some 200+ gigs) over to another hard drive, and that means I have to buy a whole new hard drive, and potentially, another copy of WinXP. Or you just got a Virus, or your Hard Drive decided to take a crap on itself. I heavily doubt it was the work of any "hacker." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da_man Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Jonas Brothers got a gig on SNL. :'( HERESY! Or you just got a Virus, or your Hard Drive decided to take a crap on itself? Combination of both, I think. It was in the process of dying when it got owned by a Trojan the size of the Universe this morning. You wouldn't believe the tons of Viruses, spyware, etc. that managed to install themselves in a matter of seconds, when I opend up Chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samnmax221 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Jonas Brothers got a gig on SNL. :'( HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA You think SNL is a place for quality entertainment in this day in age, and that this is somehow below standards for them.

TiE23 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Jonas Brothers got a gig on SNL. :'( My dad got pissed when I started throwing tomatoes and random **** at the screen. God they were horrible. Well this sucks.

You should be glad it's only 200 gigs. I've got single folders with more stuff than that. Should be cheap to get a proper size HDD, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one tried to hack your computer. Trust me. And TiE is right. I haven't had a Hard Drive that was less than 250 for years . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da_man Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 someone had to create the Trojan that invaded my computer. I'll admit that "hacker" was not the most concise term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IG-64 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I am so f***ed up right now. I've had a sprained ankle since Monday. It's still swollen. I also have sunburn all down my arms which is now at the peeling stage. Now my office chair just broke in half at the connecting point between swiveling pole and chair part, resulting in me falling and hitting said ankle, and also taking some skin off of my sunburnt arm. Oh, and I have a 450 frame hand-drawn animation that I haven't started yet that needs to be done in less than two weeks, along with everything else in my other 3 classes including an exam in Biology. F***-a-doodle-doo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerd_Annhilator Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 My empire total war installation (steam) seems to have gone corrupt and ever time I try to launch it, "Steam has found a problem with your local game file. Game files will now be re-acquired from the steam servers" Except it doesn't. And when I try to remove the local game files, it says the disk is full and I can't. (wtf) (also, it isnt) When I try to defrag the cache files of the game, it won't, and says its fragmented 15069950% (I'm not joking) WHAT THE HELL DO I DO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narfblat Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I had a similar problem with steam. I don't remember what it said the issue was, but when it would try to fix the problem it always said it couldn't find the server. The issue started happening with other steam games too. I ended out deleting steam, and had to reinstall everything, but it works again. More info: using Vista Home Premium, 64 bit. Issue started when I had it check files in the game for errors; I think the game was Half-life II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narfblat Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Maybe you can back the stuff up somehow. It may not be the same problem, I'd check the steam forums to see if they have advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can back up local content either to your hard drive or to a DVD. I have Half-Life 2 and all of its assorted nick nacks on a few dvd's so I can restore them after a reformat.

MrWally Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Not necessarily a "bad thing", just kind of ridiculous. In the last 4 days I have experienced: -Flash floods -Blistering winds -Tornado weather -Hail (about 1 inch diameter) -70 degree days with clear skies -I've gotten a sunburn while freezing in cold weather -Snow. It's definitely been messing with my brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Avlectus Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Hmm. I still have much spring cleaning to do. I've gotten rid of crap to find most of my stuff in the way holds meaning for me. I guess it's time to sacrifice some things. A roomate caught scabies from one of those "honies" he has been visiting on the corner... and let it go for a while ...now the rest of us have to clean the apartment. I wish someone would beat some sense into him. One of the other roomates looks like he's going to bail and he owes a lot of rent. My swords are all still broken from the last guild meeting...like beyond salvage. My tabi ninja boots also got messed up from the last guild meet... So I guess warajis or barefoot out in the woods will have to do. My father is on his "instructive" cycle again. Like if he doesn't tell everyone just how to do it, you'll get it wrong. Happens when they get old and particular I guess. Not mean or condescending, just lecturing and chatting. Glad I'm not around him at the moment. Bah, I'll just avoid visiting my parents for the next weekend or two....or six... My puppy is nearing maturity and has 1) really weak constitution: I fed him a little bit of italian sausage from spaghetti and he yacked up 4 softball sized blobs all over. 2) has started to 'do that thing'--time for a visit to the vet...another ~$350 My girlfriend and I haven't been together very long and she's already acting like she owns me. --we haven't *even* gotten to business yet! Pretending to be dumber than she really is and thinking I'm buying it--as if I don't notice all this stuff she's having me do, or give, or how she's stalling everything and treating me like property or a servant or something. Can't wait for *this* one to be over. They never really want anything until they know you got a pad, then they're all over you for as much as they can squeeze. I just burned my hand with my soldering iron...happens when you're into electronics. My recent power supply project just ended up in smoke, shrapnel, and disappointment...at least the laser head survived! My credit card company is screwing with me. :curse: Again... Business is slowing down. WAAAAAAY down...I hope electrician prospects and oddjobs pour in my way...or I'll have to work at Grocery Outlet--though a few buds of mine will give me recommendations. Just that with a childhood career of housekeeping I know I'm gonna be put in janitorial and kept there...and squeezed. But a job is a job and I"ll do it if I have to in order to get by. Lets see... The bad... I quit my band, I lost my house, had to sell my hot rod, then I found out my wife had been cheating on me. In the process of getting a divorce, the wife gets the kids, and the kids get my dog, and, as if that wasn't enough, in January, my dad died. What do I win? Poor guy... At least now you can buy porn or get it on your computer and not have to worry.......much At the least, sympathy. =============== In summary, not the worst time, but I've been better...
