Scrubs just perpetually fell flat for me. Something about its sense of humor just didn't work. Plus, it always seemed more adult content-oriented than Seinfeld usually was, and Seinfeld was just about the most I could take/stomach in that regard. Most of Seinfeld's humor didn't come from that area, whereas it felt like Scrubs and Always Sunny were/are constantly trying to force it in...Always Sunny especially, which, as I've said in the past, is like Seinfeld on steroids and/or amphetamines. I actually like Always Sunny more than Scrubs, because it actually has a lot of parts I do find funny...but I have such a disdain for the parts that I don't that I find it difficult to watch.

I only will take free games if I really feel like I'll play them. Seems like everyone around here has the same mindset.

I have not watched Curb Your Enthusiasm yet, but I am a huge fan of Seinfeld, so maybe I should get on trying it someday. Someday...

More like "the wonderful judgement of young people who lack the context to understand most of the humor same sense of humor and/or taste in entertainment as you". Though I definitely do not like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia or Scrubs, I'm sure I dislike just about everything else Kaine or anyone else would use a "counter"-example.

So...what happened?

13/16. Not too bad, given I don't really know who Ron Burgundy is besides some sort of TV/movie character, and I've never heard any of these quotes by either of them and was just going what I felt was a little *too* ridiculous and/or off agenda for Trump...which failed me three times, but out of sixteen times, again, not bad.

You get a free copy of Portal 2 for pre-ordering the Steam Controller. You should also receive Rocket League at some point (if you haven't already: might already be applied to your Steam account if you didn't pre-own it before pre-ordering the Steam Controller).

Trump's insult game really was pretty weak there...other candidates really seem to be his forte, not normal (...relatively) people.

Funny...whereas people from Pixar movies are the ones that look weird and inhuman to me, and the designs of characters from Tangled and Frozen seem much more agreeable. That Disney Infinity shot of Anna is extra special weird, though, I'll agree with you that much.

I would think that'd be the reason you would click on it, Keyrock.

Sure. Given that you've reformatted at least once already, it almost certainly has to be a hardware problem, anyhow. You can try switching SATA ports, but you should also try a memtest with memtest86, as well. However, given what you said about needing to boot into safe mode first before being able to boot back into non-safe mode, it does sound like the problem(s) may lean towards other things, such as your hard drive. Switching SATA ports can't hurt.

That's an unusual faulting application, I think. The faulting module isn't of much use, either. Only thing I can really find that may help is if you open up a command prompt (if you don't know what that is, open up a run prompt via Windows Key + R, type in cmd and then run it), typing sfc /scannow, which should correct corrupt files relevant to that error...but I'm not really expecting that to work, and after that it seems like a wash. There's nothing else?

Look in Windows Logs, in both Application and System. Check the entries during the time you were not using the computer (i.e. when the system hanged), particularly for the error level events, and see if any of it illuminates you on what the problem might be.

The only reason I played that video is because (a little freaky-looking) Anna from Frozen was in the thumbnail image. They got me.

It is, actually...since the question is coming from you, someone who clearly doesn't have much interest in the civilized discourse that most of us take part of for our own enjoyment in our free time. There's more to communication (and whether or not it's worth bothering continuing with) than just the one factor: one only has to look at the other pariahs of our little community to determine that.

System of a Down - Chop Suey clip at about 49 is remarkably spot on, IMO. The other songs are probably good, too, but I don't know them (not really being a metal/rock person). Most of his covers for other genres are at least pretty decent, too. (e): Funnily enough, me and my friend were looking for terrible Let It Go covers to listen to for kicks, and we found a metal cover of it by him, which is pretty good in itself (although really silly, ).

If the only thing around here that you could discuss were Obsidian games, I would've been long gone years ago.

I thought the argument was that laws against gay marriage broke other laws, not that they were necessarily "unjust" (...as much as their ruling may feel like a consequence of the latter instead of the former). I mean, I guess technically, that's a form of injustice, but not really in the traditional sense.

How about the opposite: putting, way, way too much on? My sister did it once, and put literally about 3-4 grams out of a 10 gram tube. The stuff was everywhere. Also, sadly, I know for a fact other people have not put thermal paste on...so even there, you're not the only one.

After three passes? Though any amount of errors means it's bad and should be replaced, for a system that was consistently crashing, that's a little less than I was expecting. Did you try to boot up the system with your flash drive with only one stick of RAM in (and then the other if it crashed with the first)?

That sounds bad. Have you tried swapping out CPU (seeing as it's the only new part of your build) and/or RAM? I'd suggest trying to run a memory test with memtest86: should try to confirm there's no problem with the RAM, since your symptoms sound like it could also possibly be a problem.

So, from what I can tell, it sounds like HDD failures. All your symptoms, including GPU driver failure and intermittent restarts, sounds like it starts from there. It does seem pretty unusual that both your drives are failing at the same time, though: not sure what to make of that. I would want to stick in an old HDD (like an 80GB or something) if you have one (or a flash drive, if you don't) that's been formatted and see how the system handles from then on, personally, since it does seem suspicious for both of them to go bad at the same time. I'd also think a failure on the motherboard's part that's killing your HDDs would be catastrophic enough that your system simply wouldn't work at all (if such a thing's even possible), but it's impossible to definitively say.

And Jordy Nelson tears his ACL in pre-season. I spoke too soon. (e): And Aaron Rodgers currently has his throwing arm wrapped up, our first round pick Demarious Randall was carted off the field, TJ Lang is being evaluated for a concussion...

I like preseason, actually (...sans pointless injuries). But there's not too much to talk about.
