Instantly blocked him once I found out it was him, but he's friends with the guild leader so I can't get him kicked out. Ugh.
A rare visitor to this forum now that I don't play WoW anymore, but forever a Petopian.

It's STILL awful. Trying to do the Brewfest dungeon boss on 8 lvl 90s in enough to make me want to scream.Scarlet wrote:Internet connection has been terribly slow. I can't even play WoW, the latency is constantly in the red, the lag is UNREAL, this is just making me feel completely shitty
We literally don't know what to do about this. Dad said he's calling today but what good will that do? Ugh. We have already tried so many things nothing worked.. :/

Re: Rant Thread
Ohhhhhh myyyy gooooooooood. I started out with a little rain cloud over my life, and it's turned from that to a full blown storm with tornadic activity.
I think I've mentioned my computer problems at one point or another? For the past month or so, whenever I played one of my more graphic intensive video games, I would get moments where my screen goes black, my computer plays an error noise, and then after a few seconds everything will come back up. It was a minor inconvenience really, but when I was, say, fighting a boss or something, I tended to wind up dead because my screen decided to have a moment. I eventually got frustrated enough, and decided to look up why it was doing that, and discovered that it was because my graphics card was overheating. My computer happens to collect dust like a dragon collects a hoard, so I opened it up to clean it out. Unfortunately, when I put it back together, a few pieces wouldn't screw back in as tight as they were, and with a couple of loose parts I didn't feel safe turning it back on so I decided to take it in to the shop.
Turns out a few of the bolts had corresponding nuts to them (who would have guessed?), and they had fallen inside my power supply. The guys at the shop said that the work required to take my power supply apart and find the nuts would be more expensive and more time consuming than just getting a whole new power supply. I went along with it, got the new power supply, but when I went to pick up my computer they told me that the issue with my graphics card overheating was because the fan broke, and they replaced that free of charge. Yay? No. The graphics card they decided to replace mine with was a number of years older, and of very poor quality - It couldn't handle any of my games, at all. They would crash upon loading. So I re-installed my old one, with the broken fan, and decided to buy a little tabletop fan to run on it for a while to keep it cool. It still didn't stop it from overheating, but it seemed to be able to handle a lot more for a while. I ordered a new graphics card to replace it, and waited.
Then, right as I'm about to get my new card, my computer crapped out. I turned it on Friday morning, and after taking forever to load it, it told me that it couldn't find any boot device. Unsure of what was going on, I took it back to the shop.... to find out a day later that my hard drive had crapped out, and I needed a new one. Great. Also, on that day, my new card came in! But without a computer, it was kind of pointless receiving it. The shop is closed Sundays, so I finally got my computer, new hard drive and all, back today.
Oh, but that isn't the end of my adventure! I brought it back home, super excited to install my new amazing graphics card. But, after turning on my computer, it seemed that my computer didn't agree with the new card, because it told me there was no video display. Weird. Re-installed my old broken fan one, and the display appeared fine. Back to the new one, no display. So it was back to the shop again. It was a short repair this time, but basically they figured that the graphics card on which I spent over $150 dollars and waited near a damn week to receive... is defective and will not work with any computer. So not I'll have to send it back and hopefully get a working replacement, or else my money back.
My review for an ASUS Nvidia GeForce 750 Ti from Amazon.com? 0/10. It looks really pretty but they sent me a fucking broken one.
Hopefully that's it. Hopefully they send me a working card and it installs fine and I can re-install my games and play pretty pretty Skyrim and Minecraft and all the wonderful stuff without any more issues. But, considering my luck the past weeks, I think my 'adventure' is still far from over.
TL;DR I took my computer apart and couldn't get it back together, and somehow ended up with a new power supply, new hard drive, and 3 graphics cards, all of which are defective... And I still don't think it's over X-x

Re: Rant Thread
It's shitty that it cost you 150$ for a broken thing :c I've had graphic card problems too (the same as yours actually, mine would always overheat because the fan stopped working without my notice) but thankfully my step-dad builds his own computer towers so we didn't have to fight with repair shops >___<

Re: Rant Thread
Never again, dad. Just because you've been emotionally abusing us for years doesn't mean you can keep doing this. I don't care how much you hate me for it, I'm going to stop you. I can't let you do this to us anymore.

I hate it in shows or in real life when people most of the time teens act like they own the house. They should be great full they get to live in a house for free.

Re: Rant Thread
This is what I'd love to say to my friend's girlfriend. >.> Ever since we moved into our new house she's been over almost constantly. Walks about the place as if she owns it and does she contribute to rent? Nope. Bitch has been there more than I have so far! And I pay for TWO people's rents! I'm also pretty damn sure she nicks our juice when it's left on the counters too. *And* she uses cutlery without permission and doesn't clean up after herself either. She just expects her girlfriend to do it who rarely cleans her own dishes anyway.cowmuflage wrote:If you don't pay rent or own the house don't act like you do.
That and when we're kind enough to invite her to the cinema with us, we'll sometimes offer the free Wednesday ticket to her and do we get thanked? NOPE.
But god forbid when she does actually open her mouth it's either something incredibly annoying or she's attempting to correct something we've said. All. the. damn. TIME! Corrections, corrections, no you're wrong, it's this, corrections, corrections. One day I'm gunna pretend to know nothing on a topic I'm really fluent in and she'll correct me and BAM I'll have caught her out then!
