My old car did that. But it you just barly pulled the high beam leaver back just a tab bit, they would come on. So to pass inspection, I jamed a couple tooth picks behind the lever, so it wouldnt rest all the way back to its normal postion. It passed to.

Thats whats wrong with mine. Damn little brother.

Which one? I found having a second player a bit of a detriment.
Mainly becuase my brother is incompetent at vikinging!

Here's my greivance:

My laptop died, and if I want to recover any data, I will have to send it to a special extra-expensive data recovering facility. I lost:

Two long short stories I hoped to turn into novellas

A ton of other random short stories

ALL MY FREAKING PICTURES from four years of college and trips to europe and the dominican republic

All my Batman TAS episodes

All the work I did in college and was saving for future reference

All my freakin' bookmarks

I am so, so heartbroken right now. I can't even believe it's all gone - I will miss the pictures the most. I think I may have to just pay up to try and get it back, and there isn't even a guarantee, and they can charge like $500 an hour.

This all had to happen right before I graduated and right before I left to drive across the country, too.

I just... GAH! FUCKER!

Here be a short story for you. Beg them to lower the price. Beg them, literally. My ICT teacher did it when he lost all of the data on the PCs at his past school. He begged the dat recovery company to lower the price. My ICT teacher got the price lowered from somewhere in the thousands, to two-hundred pounds. Bartering is still around, people just don't do it often enough.

i don't remember the exact level, but there was a part when one viking had to operate a magnetic crane and drop another viking who had to do something mid fall, and it was really hard to switch between them fast enough.

Also that really suck Tellurider, i hope you can get things worked out.

JTigerclaw · Post by **JTigerclaw** » Sun May 28, 2006 6:46 am

I'm sorry Tellurider, that really does suck hard... and I thought losing an essay that took an hour and a half was bad.

I sure hope those guys can help you.

I know it may be a bit late now, but it's always a good idea to have a backup. External harddrives are relatively cheap, and can save you from heartbreak in the future. And everyone else should get one too. Don't wait until it's too late. In fact, I've been putting off backing up my important data onto mine, but after this tragic tale I think I will do it ASAP.

On topic of griping, I have nothing to gripe about really, except it's 10:41 am here, and I AM STILL UP FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON!

I played this game once, that looked like a childish kids game. It was called 'Cookie and Cream'. But you had to control two characters at the same time, on opposite sides of a scrolling map. It wasn't too bad at first, but the later levels got insanely difficult. I learned not to judge a game by it's art after that.

I've played that too. A staple of the NES pirate carts.
The same comment can be made for "Milk and Nuts", and dozens of other weird games I can't remember.

I'm generally going insane and ripping my brain to shreds today.

Actually, the one I played was for the PS2. It was like a little yellow bunny looking thing and a white creature of some sort.

Nothing can compare to the awesome power of Gyromite. Life just isn't the same after you've flattened an old man with a pipe.
