TPK, TPK, Teee Pee Kaaaa-aaaay!

Good Gig, good gig.

Sufficiently good backing bands, a long set by RBF themselves, and they performed, rather than merely playing. A few so-so elements (the woman from one of the backing bands they brought on to do She Has A Girlfriend now had a totally unsuitable voice for the song, also I'd hoped to hear One Hit Wonderful), but overall a very enjoyable night.

Favourite moment was them covering Enter Sandman, followed closely by them proving that they are masters (Masters!) of all musical genres, as long as they are playing 'S.R.'.

Two alignment scales: Awesome to Suck, and Dude to Dick.

Players will be trying to be awesome; they may be dicks, or they be dudes, but they are trying to be awesome against the encroaching waves of suck.

Back home, needed to grab coat. It's snowing outside.

Was going to grab oyster card, but it's turned into a fucking oyster.

Sending this from some random unsecured wireless, had to leave the flat. Got accused of dripping paint on the floor, which suddenly devolved into being chased by people with fur and feathers.

So, I went outside. The sun has now come up, even if I don't know what time it ia, I'm out of tea, plus mapp is over and he wants coffee.

But people seem to be changing. The guy who served me at Tescos had six fingers. Sure, there are people out there with six fingers. But I glanced at the next cashier, and he had six fingers too.

Well, at least I have tea.

And now, no sunrise. No clocks, so I don't know what time it is, but surely the sun should be up by now?

Where have all the clocks gone?

I am about to try a Donner Kebab Pot Noodle.

... wish me luck!

Rather than trying to tell people in different comment trees:

ccleaner didn't visibly change anything.

Going through the registry deleting everything refering to PhysX or F:/, worked. After that, I was able to install the PhysX thing I'd downloaded, and Borderlands and Titan Quest worked. Overlord still doesn't, it's now saying "I can't find this particular DLL".

I'll post more details when I get back, currently I'm getting ready for a Russian Christmas.

So, a while back I ripped apart my old computer (which the government bought for me way back when), as it'd stopped working a fair while ago, and I'd got a new one, and it still had useful stuff in it.

The main thing I grabbed was a hard disk. For a while I used it, and it was good. Then it stopped working, with a clicking sound when it tried to work. Annoyingly I lost some music on there, but managed to put most of that back together from various sources. However, I'd also installed various other things on there. And now certain things on my computer are going "Invallid Drive F:" or similar, when I try and do things.

One of the things that it seems must've been on there was the PhysX software that various games use. Hard disk no longer working thus, not accessible there. However, every time I try and install PhysX on my actual core hard drive, it says "Error 1327, Invalid Drive F:/". I'm assuming it's trying to update the old version, but failing due to it not being there. And it's not giving me the option to perform a new install or something like that.

I tried the "Driver Sweeper" program that someone suggested, but that's not changed anything.

For reference, the two games I believe it to be affecting are Overlord II (installed through steam) which downloads fine, but crashes when I try and load it, and borderlands (installed from a disk) which crashes at the end of the install process.

So, wise and mighty intertubes, can anyone suggest how I might be able to fix this, and partake of my sweet, sweet, gaming goodness?

So, I was going to be visiting my brother Nick on boxing day, seeing my brother Matthew there too. I'd checked that it was possible to make it there and back, I hadn't bought the tickets then, but I'd looked on a couple of websites and yes, not only could I make it to Arundel on boxing day, I could probably make it back too.

Now I can't. Suddenly there are no trains going that way. Damn them.

Fuck yeah.

is an anonymous chat website, it puts you into conversation with a random stranger. Mostly people use it for cybersex. malky_moo and mapp came up with the idea of saying some variation on "You're in a 10 x 10 room with an orc holding a sword. He charges you. Roll initiative!". Now they and I are all trying to DM for random people who are generally quite confused by it.

As a reaction to the X factor and all that, there's now a campaign to get Rage Against the Machine's "Killing In The Name Of" to be the Christmas number 1, rather than the latest X factor spam.

This amuses me. Enough to buy at least one copy, anyway. For anyone interested...

Here's some news about it. For reference, some/all of the profits from the sales will be going to charity.

For anyone interested in joining in, here's the links to do so on:

I rather like the idea of it all, plus RATM are a good enough band for me to be willing to help them in their resurgence.

Warning — uncompressed photos at their taken size underneath. NSFW-ish depending on how childish insults go down. Largely posted as the easiest way to explain what it was to someone was to photo it. ( Read more... ) Posted via LiveJournal.app.</p>
