Horrible Horrible News

This is so horrible, it has to be pinned as a news topic. It has to!

My graphics card burnt out. Literally. The wires to the GFX Card fan are charred. Somehow, some stuff got in the bearing and gummed it up. Something orange - I have no clue what it is.

Which means: I can't use surfaces which means: I can't use gamemaker 6.1 which means: I can't work on Pawned or anything else!

Which is so horrible - I'll have to shell out a hundred bucks or so to get a new one! Say…… anyone got a paypal account that I can hack into?…

Of course, my GFX card was 3 years old, 128 mB…

So yeah, the wires are charred so bad one broke. I burned my finger touching it.

Everything else is okay though. I hope.


This is dumb. My monitor breaks, so I have to buy a new 1 - 150$US on sale. Then my network adapter busts, 50$US on sale. And now my GFX card crisps - XX?$US (sale, hopefully)

This is getting to be annoying. Whats next, my processor?


I guess this means I'll be playing a lot of Tiberian Sun and Renegade and RA2 until I get a new GFX card…

Flashback, my dad got the Radeon 9200 card three years ago. :P

But that 9250 is really something.

On the other note, Tiberian Sun is sweet. Fun to mod, too.

Nice. I think someone's trying to sabotage Pawned…
