My current computer problem is hard to explain.

Anyways.
A short story : By Rad Lionheart

Today, I was playing with FL Studio, then inexplicably my computer went fuckin' nuts on me, I was forced to reboot at the button, which is normal, I've done it many times before, then suddenly, many strange and colourful characters filled the screen, not my usual bootloader, very strange.
So I reboot again, thinking maybe it was a fluke, and this time, I'll get my bootloader, boot up into Windows, and continue where I last left off.

Nope, this time however, I got a generic bootloader error (18 if I remember correctly.)
I switched to my Mandriva disc, boot up the live disc, and looked it up.
Apparently, I need to install the bootloader again, but guess what?
None of my Linux discs will allow it, says there's no device capable of installing on. (Apparently my hard drive is now invisible!)

So then after some fiddling, I finally got the bootloader to come up, and boot into Windows.
I assumed everything was fine, until everything locked up again, and I was forced to reboot at the button.
Figuring it another fluke (It could happen, y'know.) I boot up normally again.
Oh snap, Bootloader error 15 this time! AWESOME!

So again, insert the Mandriva disc, boot up live.
And this time I decided "I'll just reinstall Mandriva and it'll reinstall the bootloader with it! PROBLEM SOLVED!"
Nope, apparently, I have no hard drive! It can't find anything to install an OS on! YAY!
So then after about another hour of booting and rebooting and unbooting and a booting to the head, I get into Mandriva (Not Windows this time, cause I know it'll [tornado fang] up again.) anyways, Mandriva is working fine, aside from the non-working bootloader, it hasn't had a problem yet.
But I still can't get into the bootloader, or windows.

So I've decided since my BlackXP disc is up and vanished due to my sister misplacing it, I have to find a quick alternative.
PJ told me my computer would more than likely work fairly well with Windows 7 installed, so it's time to give that RC a try.
It just finished downloading now, so I've gotta find a Linux based iso burner, that's free and runs well on my machine.

But anyways, my computer doesn't work, and I have to format my windows AND possibly my linux partition, if it doesn't start identifying my HDD.
In other words.
FML.

Virus maybe?
My old computer locked up completely on me once while on RPM. I clicked a board link, and the whole computer froze over. All I could do was move my mouse cursor, but nothing else. I couldnt click couldnt do anything else exept move the mouse cursor on the ice cold screen. I tried to bring up task manager, nothing, I tried rebooting the computer via Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and nothing.
I tried Rebooting via the power button on the front.(EG it turns the computer off and then I turn it back on) AND EVEN THE BUTTON DIDNT DO ANYTHING. So I didn the next (Il)logical thing. I pressed the switch on the power strip and cut off the power. When I turned the PC back on, It couldnt read my HD. We tried various things, but nothing worked. I eventually gave up and opened the HD to see if I had maybe broken the arm inside. It wasnt broken, but I assumed that by cutting off the power so abbruptly, I broke something inside of it.

Either that, Or I had gotten a virus. (The HD was brand new. an 80 gig HD that my neighbor, a \Verizon worker gave to me brand new. He had used it to work with something,but other than small usage, never really used it. So since he was done with it, he formatted it, and handed it over.)

now, onto my current issue.
My laptop, like many others, goes to sleep when I close the lid. However, when I wake it up and it goes to the user select screen, It shows my icon, (there are no other accounts) and underneath, right above the "switch user" button, it says "Locked" like my account is locked or something...
Which... It isnt... I click my Icon or tap the space bar and log back in without a problem. But it IS weird. id like to know a bit bout that...
(Vista is my OS)

The Irony, actually, Is that it is X's compassion, Worrying, All those things that make X X, Which give him the ability to evolve and grow as he fights. Those are all things which Sigma lacks, ad therefore, his dream of evolution will never be within his grasp.

In 3D too. Wow.
from the clips, it looks like its going to be good. Well, Im not going to see it cuz Im not a horror fan at all... I DID see the second movie, (I missed the middle though.) and was like, "Holy crap."
but aside from the fact that this isnt the movie for me,
Discuss. Judging from the bits ive seen from the other ones, It looks like this one is going to be better than them.

Okay, slightly off-topic: the Joker is most definitely not sane. He's been said to have been driven nuts His popularity notwithstanding, what was the defense that he's used to avoid the death penalty?

He has also been hypothesized to possibly have a form of super sanity, which varies from day to day to accommodate to society around him. A harmless clown one day, a psychotic serial killer the next. But the joker is irrelevant to this. I cannot see how he relates to this discussion at all.

Quote

X2- Sigma's plan here was to revive Zero and use him against X. It was implied here that he found out about Zero's origins in between the games here, and figured Zero would join him. Here's where we find out Sigma's become a virus.

False. We did not find out he was a virus in X2. What we saw, was a holographic wireframe head of Sigma. Just like there was the sword miniboss earlier during the actual Magna Centipede stage.

Quote

X3- He's become far more manipulative here: Dr. Doppler was infected by the Sigma Virus and was used to created Neo² Sigma and Kaiser Sigma. This implies rampant sociopathy: Sigma's starting to think of members of his own species as things.

what is "Neo[sup2[/sup]"? I do not recall Sigma's first body having a name. Also, Sigma was manipulating Doppler. Doppler would not otherwise assist him. he infected Doppler and Doppler made him his body. It does not indicate Sociopathy. Sigma used similar methods as far as X1. Storm Eagle is an example. He resisted Sigma, and was beaten down and subordinated in return. Sigma infected many Maverick Hunters and defected them to his cause. It is the same exact thing as in X3. also, THIS is where we discover that he is a Virus. Doppler once defeated, regains his senses, and reveals it to X.

Quote

X4- His big plan here was to pit Repliforce against the Hunters and take control of Final Weapon. Sociopathy aside, Sigma split himself between 5 different heads during the last fight; that had to be taxing.

The Idea to take over Final weapon was only once they actually built it. Obviously by integrating himself with the very weapon itself. Also, Final Weapon can not obliterate the whole Earth. It can cause widespread damage enough to kill a VERY large amount of Humans, which is his goal. Also, Pitting the Hunters against the Repliforce does not show any form of mental illness. In fact, It shows that he is clever. The idea is for them to both destroy each other so that thee is no one left to stop HIM. He figured that The Hunters would label Repliforce Maverick for Sky lagoon, because he had close proximity to General I assume he was aware of Colonel's personality, and abused His stubborn pride. He figured that They would both wipe the majority of each other out. Thats not something a sociopath would do.

Quote

X5- Here he's almost become obsessed with purifying Zero and returning him to his vicious roots. X only plays an incidental role in the plot; Sigma's goals revolve around recreating Maverick Zero and using him to destroy X.

Sigma has been intruiged by his partners obsession over Zero. Plus, He wants to destroy them both, X and Zero. and what better way than a betrayal? a sad and dramatic end. Zero would serve his purpose and kill X, and then be on his side. plus, the idea of using Eurasia also presents massive collateral damage, which could destroy almost all of humanity. The alternate scenario, while not the one that happened, shows that if Eurasia successfully collides with the Earth, the human race just nearly avoids extinction. Kill 3 birds with one stone. Kill X, Kill the Humans, and have a evil Zero on his side, with his "Partner"s assistance.

Quote

X6- Gate was the main culprit here. Despite that, his dialog suggests he was fully there; he recognized both X and Zero, and before the final battle he only sounded tired. (After X5, I would be too...) It seemed to me the strain from body-hopping so soon caused that psychosis (JUZDIE! ZELLO! ZELLLLLLOOOOO!!) we all remember here.

It was the only reason. and Not because he was "tired" or "worn out" But because he was barely even alive. He was just brought back from the eve of his true death, which had completely obliterated him, and was awakened in an incomplete body, and barely even conscious. All he could even remember was revene against those that had hurt him. He was running on rage and instinct.

Quote

X7- Sigma wanted to use Axl to gain the DNA data from X; he did to Red Alert what he did to Repliforce, except he infected several of the bosses (Flame Hyenard and Tornado Tonion were the obvious victims here). Nothing new here. Note that Professor Sigma appeared to be a finished version of Reborn Sigma.

X and Zero. Not just X. and he infected ALL of red alert. not just a few. When Red Realized his organization was just used by Sigma, and demanded he leave them alone, he presented the Sigma Virus brainwashed members of Red alert.
"Lets do this Democratically..."
"If you dont do as I say, they'll never return to normal..."

Quote

X8-I'm not gonna touch this one; we've discussed this to death.

No, we will discuss it.

Quote

He seems to suffer mainly from sociopathy, and is not above using anyone and everyone hecan to further his own goals. It also seemed to me that he stopped caring about freeing Reploids from humanity's control and starting to obsess over his vendetta against X and Zero. That's not exactly mentally healthy.

Sociopathy? How can you figure? also, he never saw himself as some savior. He only cares about reploid evolution. Anyone who opposes it or does not follow him, is part of the problem, and he has no qualms with eliminating or using them.

Quote from: Fxeni on July 05, 2009, 04:12:36 AM

It was too hard for the majority of the EXE fans, since they weren't into the platformers, especially the new fans. So what makes you think they'll make another game of that sort, when the majority bitched about the difficulty that came with the platforming?

They will suck it the [tornado fang] up and take their Megaman game like a good little audience.
