EA Indirectly Killed My Computer

I'm sitting on my computer in the basement. For those of you that haven't realized, my room is upstairs and I rarely use the basement computer. So why am I blogging from it? Basically, look at the title. You should read the post previous if you haven't. I wanted to play Sims 2. But since the little CD emulation thing, I couldn't. So i looked for a way around it. I thought, "Hmm... ah hah, No CD hacks! Geneous!" So I tried to find one. EA did a really good job to stop hackers. I couldn't find one... but what I did find was a freaking virus! Or more like 10 Viruses roled up into one fake No CD Hack! So EA indirectly gave me a virus. Now I'm planning on formatting my hard drive. Oh and right before I "installed" the "No CD hack", I decided to uninstall Norton. Yeah. I installed Avast, which is another antivirus program, but it required a restart, which i hadn't done yet. Yeah. Hate to say this, but I wish I would have had Norton then. It probably would have helped. Avast is doing it's job... somewhat. I mean it's finding a bunch of viruses and deletes them, but there is a virus program that creates those viruses at start up, and Avast can't find it apparently. I decided on formatting. My computer has been slowly decreasing every since my last format. Oh well. I shall live. I just backed up a bunch of files. All I have left is some video files... about 10 gigs worth if I want to wait for some videos to download, which I am doing right now. 5.88 Gigs worth. That's a lot by the way.

I'm gonna let you to yourselves now. Later cats.

EA provoked me to blog

I feel my rights have been violated by two companies: Sony and Electronic Arts. Sony didn't provoke to blog, but EA overstepped its limits. For those of you who don't know, Sony has a little CD protection thing on their music Cds that if you put it in your CD rom, you basically get a virus. Goody. My computer has been partarlly (that word doesn't look spelt correct... probably isn't) crapping out probably because of this. For instance, I can't download Windows XP updates. Anyways, that's a problem for when I need to format which will probably come soon. But EA, oh man I feel like kicking them in the crotch. I bought the Sims 2, for I wanted to experience the joy of controling the fate of a little sim. So I go to Best Buy (because Target was out) and i pay 35 bucks for it. I then arrive home and open up it. I install all four disks onto my computer, no problems. After installing, it asks if I would like to launch it. I agree for I can't wait any longer. Error message pops up, "Please insert disk 1." Of course, I thought to myself. I had disk four in because that was the last install disk. So i insert disk 1 and double click on my newest desktop shortcut (Sims 2, for those not following very well). The spalsh screen for Sims 2 pops up... and then an error message pops up. "Please insert the correct CD-Rom" Hm... what? later, after visiting tech support and doing some searching, i find the exact error message in the FAQs. The had lots of suggestions for me. None of them applied, except one. CD emulation. Now when you see emulation you may go, "Oh Roy, you stealing video games from the SNES and NEs have caught up to you." But that's not CD emulation. CD emulation is DVD decryptor, or a more common program, Nero or any CD burning software. And kick EA's groin. I hate it. See that's why I should download games illegally. Not saying I will. Cause I probably won't.

Oh so I got a bloody nose today. It was really bad. I used like 4 tissues, and then they were gone. So I was using napkins. After using up the tissues, I was switching to napkins, and blood was just dripping down my face. I let blood drip down the sink for a couple of seconds. I'm sure that didn't improve my situation. I tried every trick in the book.... then i combined them and it finally stopped. I was going to take a picture of blood dripping down my face and make you guess what happened, but i figured that losing blood at a rapid rate would not be good for my health, just so I could take a picture. I hope you all are grossed out.

So I went to Rock 30 yesterday. Yeah that was great. Andrew was selling a Logitech speaker set for PSPs, and I've been wanting one, but they are 60 bucks. He sold it to me for 30 bucks. Sweet. I also bought a new Frolf disk. It's a Wraith. I hope to test it out tomorrow... or today i should say. I'm going to go to bed i think now. I'm kinda sad I can't play Sims 2. I uninstalled Nero, but that didn't work. I have a bunch of crap on my computer. I really need to format. I might just do that, and see what happens. Peace all.

He Did It

I was thinking to myself that the best time to update a blog is when I should be sleeping. So I decided to update my blog. I should be sleeping. I think I have stated that. So anyways, I had to get up early and go to school... for those of you who don't pay attention to dates, today is Saturday. I took the ACT this morning. What a complete waste of my time. It's not a very accurate measure of intellect. And some how that word seems spelt incorrectly. But, seriously, they don't give you enough time. Maybe if they gave you enough time, it'll bump up the accuracy, but it still won't be very accurate, and they know it. Why? Because they teach you how to guess to prep you for the ACT. At that point, you should realize that maybe it just isn't working out. So that's how I spent my morning. I did well on the English and Math test, although the last 10 of the Math test I filled in random bubbles, because I had one minute left and there was no way I would get all of them done. So might as well guess. Have a chance at getting 10 more right, instead of getting 2 maybe right, and 8 definitely wrong. Yeah. Then on the reading and Science part, I had like 10 questions left in each section. It's not that I don't know how to read, it's just that I read and then have to go back and re read a section because the question is like "It can be inferred that paragraph 3 (15-25) is a blah blah" and i have to go and reread that section to know what the heck it's talking about. Slap. And for science. Easy, but you have to study the charts and graphs in order to answer the questions and for me that takes a little bit more time. Enough of the ACT.

So April 1st came along and I was in Antelope MT where my grandma doesn't have a computer, so I was not a victim of Internet Fooling. But I'm a curious cat and checked up on what kind o f jokes occurred. My favorite one was www.gtachicago.com. Beautiful. It was not put on by Rockstar games. This guy bought the domain and set up a "Coming Soon" site that looked just like the other gta coming soon pages. This guy had people that had GTA fansites adding a section for it. I laughed at that one. Blizzard did three. One was Burgercraft, a resturant chain with Blizzard's games theme. Another one is that Gamespot posted an article about World of Starcraft. The "screenshots" looked impressive and I almost wish it were real.

And last but not least is that I think you should check out my website. That's royfuss.com Easy to remember. Nighty night peeps.
