[Neo Emolga]

I thought it was a bit odd seeing something other than an Emolga at first xD

Also I'm doing some last minute testing before I call the computer company again and send it in. Seeing if the formatting made the system able to run anything better even though some drivers are completely shot. So I will be on Steam a good bit of the day today =D

I got the 2 finger scrolling to work along with adobe flash player, but the steelseries keyboard still isn't working and saving isn't a thing on this computer anymore apparently =3

Yeah, I've had my Steam account for a whopping nine years. Originally the name "Crimson Fury" was from a James Bond-like character in the original Twisted Metal game that drove a nice, hot, red Lamborghini that was the fastest car in the game. I thought the name was awesome, so bam, that's where it came from.

Anyway, hope you can get those computer issues resolved. Seriously, I don't think I've ever heard of someone having more issues with computer junk than you've been dealing with. That's crazy.

Actually never played Twisted Metal. The only James Bond games I played were Golden Eye and....Night...something on the PS2...I think xD. Actually, mine is just based of my current on on PXR (obvious enough xD). I came up with it back when I first joined GT and thought it would be easy enough to transfer it to other sites as well (also I'm super uncreative lol). Sadly after I made that I started seeing the username pop up all over other sites. So I couldn't use the "Master" name on certain other sites and had to add and "s" at the end or just deal with "Chakra1412." 1412 was just better for online gaming and stuff. Also got the number from one of my favorite anime at the time "Detective Conan."

Thanks Neo, yeah my problems start way back in....08 I think? My first laptop lasted from 2005 until late 2008. True story here, but I tried buying a new Dell to replace my first laptop. Very first one I got from Best Buy I got home with, opened. Over half the keyboard keys didn't even work no. Some you literally had to press with force (like you're trying to poke it to death). So I returned it for a new one and guess what? First time I even start it up, BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!!. ._. After that I swore off Dell ever again and went back to HP. That one lasted me about 2 years+. Now I'm dealing with all of these issues in less than a year's time x_x

EIGHT YEARS you've been dealing with these issues!? Geez, dude. >.<

I mean, I've had bad hardware before. A Razer mouse I had would often lock up and the mouse pointer would only go in horizontal directions (great fun when you're in the middle of an online game! >.<). Or it just wouldn't work at all. It was also supposed to be a wireless mouse, but I gave up doing that and always had it plugged in when the internal battery couldn't hold a charge for the life of it.

However, the Razer keyboard I had was even worse and was something that could cause even Satan to shiver. The firmware in that thing was so bad that it was responsible for giving me blue screens of death. From a keyboard! Also, that too would lock up while I was in the middle of typing a report or essay for my grad school classes and I would get an endless character string of "eeeeee" or "jjjjjjjjj" and the only way to stop it was unplug it and plug it back in. And doing that often caused the blue screen of death. On top of all of that, the black paint on the keys was peeling off only after a few months of use, so the letters were getting rubbed out and were turning into just glowing blobs (it was one of those illuminated keyboards). I just threw both the keyboard and the mouse in the trash and vowed never to buy Razer junk again. Instead, I go Logitech for peripheral devices. So much better and so much cheaper! It may not look as fancy or whatever, but heck, I'd WAY rather take something that does the job that it's supposed to do over something that may look cool but functions like it's demonically possessed.

My older computer also had a bad motherboard. Lots of blue screens of death from that thing. I don't miss that old computer, as it could barely handle Fallout 3 on the lowest graphic settings (which makes everything look like glossy, pale-colored play-doh!). I then just splurged and got a completely new computer from Cyberpower and it's been great, but now it's starting to show it's age with some of the newer games like XCOM2 and Fallout 4. It's a shame you haven't had as good of an experience with them, because I was pretty satisfied with what I got.
