A Little Story/Semi-FML

Sat Nov 21, 2009, 1:57 PM
So last night, I decided since I haven't played Oblivion in a long while, I'd fire it up and play for a bit. Imagine my surprise when I get a disc read error. Well, I try to pop out the disc to see if something was up with the way it was placed, and my drive wouldn't open. After a few frustrating button presses, I proceed to take my computer apart and take out the drive. Dad shows me this little slot under the tray where you can manually force the drive open, and I do that. Oddly enough, there's a little resistance, but I manage to get the disk out. For reasons I can't explain, there's a sticky residue all along the inside of the disk near the hole on the underside. Nothing that'd bother the actual "disk" part, but it still might cause problems in the future. Dad gives me another drive while he goes to clean both the disk and original drive. I decide to take a shower while he does this. After finishing my shower, I go back downstairs to check on my stuff. Dad manages to clean the drive just fine, but we find out the hard way that Goo-Gone doesn't work too well on plastic. The solvent causes the sticky residue to smear all over the disc, rendering it completely unusable.

Thankfully, I managed to buy another copy of the GOTY edition today. Lesson learned, don't use industrial-strength solvent on CDs and always keep your computer gear clean.

First and foremost, I'm really here to keep in contact with a few friends I can't otherwise.

Second: I do stuff. In Paint. When I'm bored. And... well, see for yourself.

Hello there. I just checked out your gallery. You have nice Kamen Rider sprites. Have you seen the Dragon Knight series?

Thanks.

As far as Dragon Knight goes, I'm afraid not. I guess you could call me a purist. Either that or I'm just so used to Japan's way of doing things that Dragon Knight just doesn't feel right.

Decade makes sure the children of Japan never go thirsty with his AttackRide- THIRST QUENCHER! *awesomeface*

Within the next year, you could probably go meet Double, and he (they?) might give you a soda and tell you if... Phillip... truly is gay or not.
