Me: Hey guys, hey guys! I found this really interesting new mod for Civ 4, Master of Mana!
Branden: Does it work in multiplayer?
Me: YES.
Branden: And it works on your computer?
Me: Well, single player games work like a charm!
Josh: Sweet! I'll throw it on my machine!
Branden: Mine too!
....
Okay, it's installed. Now let's start a multiplayer game!
Me: Huzzah!
My computer: LOADING...
...
YOUR PROGRAM HAS ENCOUNTERED AN ERROR. WINDOWS IS CHECKING FOR A SOLUTION TO YOUR PROBLEM.
Me: Are you actually going to find a solution, or are you just saying that?
My computer: Just saying that. It's expected of me!
Me: Well that's weird. You've never crashed on me before. Probably wouldn't happen twice in a row, though, right?
My computer: lolololololCRASH, NO MULTIPLAYER FOR YOU
Me: Damn. Okay, what if I tried reinstalling it? Would that work?
My computer: Only one way to find out!
(one hour later)
My computer: LOLNO, TRY SOMETHING ELSE BRAH
Me: Screw it, let's play League.
Branden & Josh: Yaaaaay!
Related: you'll be happy to know: I've acquired a lap desk that not only elevates the computer so I won't just be making a warm, table-shaped blanket under my computer, but the lap desk has a USB plug to operate a set of fans under the computer to augment it's seemingly lacking cooling capabilities.
ReplyDeleteIf this does not work to stop my computer's frequent crashes and LoL's TOTALLY UNWARRANTED disciplinary actions against my account, my rage will know no bounds. In case of that, start stockpiling canned food.
Waaaaay ahead of you! Also, good to hear. Your computer has an excellent knack for shutting off in the middle of everything that's not an beginner bot game.
