I'm waiting for the game to update. Bored...kiling time. Why not start a thread!

Sadly I have no idea for a topic. Deal with it!

    Okay, not exactly a bomb, but same shock factor.

    What did I do!?

    My computer crashed.

    Computer gods are reaaaally ****ed at me. (Lamest excuse ever)

    I'm in safe mode, and my screen is covered in small lines that flicker in color and number. JOY!!! :mad:

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that its time for a new video card.

    It doesn't use an electrical battery. It uses slave labor. Or hort. Whichever's available...:p

    This sounds extremely similar to what happened to my computer in mid-December. I had 2 video cards (for SLI) and one died and was preventing the computer from even booting up. I did not know that was the problem and and thought my hard drive was corrupted or infected (it wasn't but I re-formatted just to be safe).

    I removed both video cards and then put them back one at a time and booted up. The first one emitted a sound like a smoke alarm (long, shrill high-pitched noise) and would not boot up. Took that one out. Put the other one in and the computer would boot up. Most of my data was still on an external backup drive (which I had just bought a few months before, thank jeebus).

    Seriously dude, word for word the exact same thing happened to me. Computer still remains wonky and now I'm relegated to my laptop unless I want to deal with the thing's morbid and terminal idiocy.

    Captains Log: Stardate 64631.5

    My ship is undergoing diagnostics. The computer failed after we attempted to tweak the resolution on the main viewing screen. The chief engineer told me it might be a few days before I hear anything back.

    Also I keep having this strange dream that I'm not a starship captain, but rather some douche in 21st century Canada whining about his computer that broke down and using delusional fantasies to ease the pain. I'm glad it was only a dream.

    Corban stands a few feet away in his spacesuit playing a game on his cell phone. He see's Dawson and Cappy in trouble. He looks at his record high Tetris score, then at his friends. Finally he walks over a foot or two and hits the airlock controls. Air quickly fills up this section of whatever ship we're on. When he looks back to his game he see's the screen fill with blocks.

    "You two made me lose my game!!"

    Hits the airlock controls again venting all the air out. Then he starts up a new game.
