doing game art

Posted by carritohmc on Feb. 21, 2011, 2:20 p.m.

I was all happy with the progress I had made on my game Occultus Command. Got the trailer going; did two bosses and then… my new computer crashed again. I'm writing this from safe mode. The dell rep thought it was the power savings and my computer was going into standby and I just didn't know what standby was… holy mother of God… STANDBY MODE!! Gimme a break dell, last I heard that never caused blue screens. Long story short I'm getting my 4th window install, my third hard drive, second graphics card and whole new memory… not that that would help. I'm beginning to think Dell just has all these brand new replacement parts lying around, just ready to be thrown at people even though they won't help.

Either way, since I can't work on my game on this piece of crap pc, I've just been making some art for the game

Were you able to save anything?

Lets be a reminder to never get a Dell again, they have a horrible rep. I for a few years they were shipping computers with shitty motherboards that either crashed, burned out or caught on fire…

So, what year was that Dell made in?

@Dfortun81 I was able to save a back up onto an external; I think I might have had a heart attack if I had lost everything.

@Scott The dell was made in 2010; I bought it 3 months ago, thus far the motherboard hasn't caught on fire, but at this point it wouldn't surprise me if it did, thanks for the pic touch up btw.
