My computer is dying :(
... and it's taking my fucking sanity with it.
So heres the deal, lets start from the very begining:
Power outage during reboot, corrupts Windows.
Two weeks later, finnaly get windows back installed.
Next day? Day after? Either way, very shortly after I reinstalled Windows, it went corrupt. Repaired it twice.
3 or 4 days ago, I finnaly give up and just wipe clean. Fresh XP install and everything.
Next day: Windows corrupts itself.
Day after that, I reinstall Windows, again. Less than 5 hours later, probably not more than 2 or 3 if i remember right, it corrupts itself. Again.
... then magically it works again.
Now lets move on to todays wonderful events!
So there I am, playing Eve, sitting in station like a good little boy. Out of nowhere, a little section's textures glitch. I figure just the game bugging up, whatever. Then a few more weird little glitches appear. Then artifacts spring up everywhere and start fucking dancing across the screen. Then my screen goes blank. Then comes back, goes blank, comes back, goes blank, and comes back one last time. Then I get a popup from the ATI control panel, telling me that VPU Recover reset my card because "it stopped responding." What the fuck?
Then it happens again.
And again.
Then once more, but this time my screen never comes back, and I have to reset my computer.
So I log back in, chat a bit more, then it starts acting up yet again, and I just shut it down before it gets bad.
Starting to wonder what the hell is really causing the problems here. Just about every component is a suspect now. Though for the record, I cleaned up my computer shortly afterwards and there was a good fuckload of dust in my videocard, so we'll see if cleaning it out has made any difference (sure made a difference in temperature. Sitting in station before it reported a temp of roughly 130*F *pretty sure it wasn't centigrade anyways*, and after cleaning it barely topped out at 70-80).
If Windows goes corrupt again, I will cry. I will cry, I will cry, and I will fucking cry some more, and then I'll get a baseball bat and have a jolly good time smashing my computer in to an unrecognizable pulp. ONLY WARNING, YOU PIECE OF SHIT!
*ahem* So... ehm... err... doo dee doo... bah screw it. I'm off. Don't play next to the traffic, play IN it!

Grr
Stupid text in the last post glitched up and it won't un-bold. Stupid crap. Ahh well, can't be bothered to fix it, sleepy time.
I wish I wish I didn't click that link
I'm a seasoned intarweb veteren. Theres very little I haven't seen. Or so I thought.
I have this daily routine: find something random on Wikipedia, and follow that wherever my curiosity and patience will take me. Today, finnaly, I regret it. But, on the plus side, I finnaly have a winning weapon to all those "post your most disgusting \ shocking \ whatever image" contests.
... I thought that this was just a gag on South Park. I thought it was just something bizarre that our friends in the porn industry thought up. I thought it was something that could never possibly exist...
I was proven wrong. So very, very wrong.
I will say this now, I will say it but three times, ignore it at you're own peril:
NOT SAFE FOR WORK
NOT SAFE FOR WORK
NOT SAFE FOR WORK
... Did I mention NOT FUCKING SAFE FOR WORK? If your boss, parents, or anyone else who's sanity \ eyes you'd rather not melt, don't click this link.
..... Had enough suspense?
It's just a wax model, but you get the idea.
How did I stumble on to that? What could I POSSIBLY have been looking for on Wiki?.. damned if I remember.
Either way, this is the artical I found it on.
Don't ask.
Why, god, why.
That'll end tonight's mental torment :)

Early bird gets the worm?
.... or early bird gets an early start on his ritual points-whoring!
7 AM... when I'm off from school, this usually is when I go to sleep, not wake up (actually been up since like 6:30, but thats beside the point). But I just couldn't keep it together last night so I collapsed on my bed early :P
So, in Gran Turismo news, soooo damned close! I'm saving up for the Toyota GT-One. I'm running the Easy mode Capri Rally (or whatever that track is called. Second on the list of Special Events) over and over again for the prize car, which sells for 260k each. 1.5 million to go and I've got my new car, yay!
I've also fallen in love with a new car. The Camaro LM Race Car. I usually compare new cars to the Ford GT, which has been my regular car since the day after I got the game. The Camaro >>> my Ford GT. It brakes SO much better, it goes faster (I'm not advanced enough to tune my cars yet, so this is with the default tuning), and it turns so much better and easier. Faster, easier to drive, fuckin' WIN in my books.
In the Battlefield 2142 scene... just over 200 or so points to go untill I've ranked up to Warrant Officer Silver! Really running low on unlocks here. I have the Recon class absolutely maxed out (including Northern Strike unlocks), all I don't have from the Assault class is the Northern Strike unlocks. Player abilities I have the Grenandes and the two sprint unlocks, and I have the Squad Beacon from the leader tree.
Which leaves me with two classes left: Engineer (yuck), and Support. I've had a long-running hatred of Support, their machine guns drive me insane and those mobile turrets anger me much. But I've been working up my unlocks there. From the Shotgun tree all I have is the first unlock (pretty sure thats the shield), and when I rank up, from the Ganz tree I'll be getting the mobile turret thingy which is pretty awesome. W00t!
... Not that I play as support much. But gotta burn the unlocks somewhere, and I've liked Support more than I've liked Engineer. Mostly playing as Assault, I just LOVE the Voss, and the Baur is great for a couple of maps as well (getting in snipe wars with my Baur against people with sniper rifles is pretty hilarious). But I must say, grenade spamming with Support has it's perks, especially when others join in the fun with you and you get resupply points ;)
Thats about it for my gaming scene, for those of you curious (and not :P ). In the RL scene, which sadly isn't half as interesting, not much to say really. Fucked my legs over PRETTY damn good... still trying to figure out how. But it sure hurts like a bitch when I walk, so whatever I did, I screwed it up pretty badly.
We got HDTV yesterday, YAY! Well, we already had the TV, we just got the satellite for it now. Watching true 1080i HD is like having an orgasm that never stops. Just fucking amazing. Now to get an HD-DVD or Blu-Ray player, a season of 24 in HD \ Blu-Ray.... muahahaha. Terrorists will die in High-Def! :P (Assuming I can pull my dad away from it long enough, heh heh)
Now, for that BBQ we also got my dad for fathers day to arrive... should have been here yesterday or the day before, but it hasn't. Maybe today... but my legs are threatening to hurt me if i say "hopefully", because I get the joyful duty of assembling a fucking 300 point gas grill. GOD DAMN! :(
Thats about it. Might have something interesting for the next entry, we'll see how long this stays a good idea in my mind. If it stays good, I'll make a post about it. If not, it'll never see the light of day :P
See you stalkers in hell o/

Vroom Vroom!
I'm addicted to Gran Turismo. I can't stop playing. Someone find me a support group.
In other news, we got my dad a nice 32-inch HDTV for Fathers Day. Don't have an HD-DVD \ Blu-Ray player yet sadly, but we did get a regular DVD player which scales up normal DVD's to 1080i. Still looks frikken amazing. Need to pester DirecTV sometime and get an HD receiver... that's gonna be a joy all in it's own (dealing with DirecTV). Glad I'm not doing that :P
Now I gotta go find HDTV adapters for my PS2 and Xbox... to Amazon I go!
Thats all. Go back to stalking 12 year olds on Myspace now.

It's been a while
Been a while since I posted anything here. If anyone ever read this crap, I'm sure you don't now. But hey, boredom prevails.
The power went out about 2 weeks ago while my comp was in the middle of rebooting. from then on out, I'd get a constant Blue Screen of Death whenever I tried to start Windows. Got it reinstalled a few days ago though (floppy drive nightmare, long story).
So, lets see, whats new for you damned stalkers. Hmm... Well I have a PS2 now, and Gran Turismo 4 to go along with it. Excellent game. I loved the original GT and this one's even better. Definitely worth checking out..
I also have a new web comic to read! YAY! Check out this link great little comic. Took me about 7 or 8 hours or so to read through the entire archives (maybe more, maybe less, not sure), great comic.
And thats all. Go away. I'm tired.
