Hey all,

Apologies for suddenly leaving you hanging at Mara while i crashed out.

Allow me to give u an update on what was giong on.

I was experiencing severe lag, brought on not by my connection, but simply due to overheating of my system it seems. A dead giveaway was the smoke coming from my vent, accompanied by the distinctive scent of something burning. My PC went dead all of a sudden, at which point my temper slightly took over :roll: . I decided to give my pc a 'slight' nudge, which of course send it toppling down my desk and crashing to the ground, draggin my screen with it for the occasion. While i sat staring at my now empty desk, my face pretty much looking like this : :shock: , it dawned on me. I can't start up MxO without a pc. I will spare you the stream of obscenities that flowed forth from my lips, I'm sure you could think of several in my place.

So, this is where i stand now. A grim outlook indeed. My PC has been re-assembled, using generous amounts of duct tape and super glue, but i have not had the chance to test it yet. I had to leave for work early this morning, and will be there 'till at least 9pm tonight!! :evil:

Guess it's just one of those days huh? (cue appropriate Limp Bizkit song)

Anyway, good luck to you all, as i'm sure you're eagerly awaiting my return :P
And behave (you know who you are! :P )

I'll try to log in asap again, wether by buying a new system (which would set me back prolly around 2000 euros) or by shoving my head into a light socket.

At least we still have laughter eh? :roll:

8) :wink:
'nuff said

I don't know what your real life work entails but here's an idea......

Tell your boss you NEED to loan a PC from work to enable you to do more work from home. If he asks what just tell him that the stuff you were doing today is taking longer than expected and you want to make sure it is not left in a state less than your usual high standards.

Not sure on your PC lockdown policy either - but I'm sure a report on Monday that you had been given a dodgy PC and it seems to have had problem which caused a low level format of the hard disk - (thus wiping any evidence of you installing mxo and playing all weekend)

OK we live in a dreamworld already so what is the harm in having more dreams.

Hurry back Captain - Sallus wants to try driving without you watching :shock:

I gotta say that the story you told to describe the sitaution was probably the BEST and most entertaining story I've heard in ages. Don't get me wrong, I do not doubt the validity of it at all, I'm only calling it a story due to how well written it was and how entertained I was reading it. Ever consider being a writer? (if you're not already). That was good stuff!

Eagerly awaiting another story in the life of Adunai.

Fretty

P.S. - Come back soon :wink:

Hmmm sounds like one of Morpheus' code bombs again...that guy is a pain even after death :(

Anyways hope you get it sorted and/or tis sorted now - you know how 'popular' you are around here and its just concievable that some people maybe missing you already? ;)

And if you aren't back soon I might just come kick your ass!! No one runs out on me :twisted:

Hehe, thanx for the compassion all :P

I actually do have a laptop from work Sav, but not nearly powerful enough to run MxO i'm afraid.Don't worry, i'l find a way.

Incidentally Fretty, you hit the nail on the head it seems. I am actually in the editing process of a book with my publisher. And if all goes well, the book should hit the shelves sometime next year actually.

Ty : :oops: Awwww, how sweet (i guess :P )
Who says i'm running out on you? I've actually been trying to get back :P lol

V : Yes, i did notice a rise in temperature when speaking french. Could've been a certain website i was directed to tho :P

M0 : Bro, you're right. You're the brains of the two of us. I'm the good looking, charming one tho. Imagine us fusing together? :shock: We'd pwn the One :P
