I hate myself and want to die

Lost another harddisk today. Or rather, yesterday, when my otherwise quite computer-savvy mother apparently turned off the power without shutting down Windows. Damned if I know how that could possibly kill my disk, but the fact remains I now have no harddisk for my computer.

It was my only internal disk, so it had everything on it. I did a backup of my most important files to my new external disk last weekend, but I skipped it this weekend because I was too busy working on TNM when it prompted me. Most of my stuff has been backed up to the FTP, but I reckon I lost some textures, various text files, maybe some convo work... anyway, the biggest setback will be that it'll probably put me out of commission for a week while I reinstall everything on a new disk.

W00T @ hardware

Seriously you must get your haredware from the most dodgy vendors available. It wasn't western digital was it?

erk.

Maybe there's some weird magnetic fields going on over there in Denmark

It was Samsung. The previous drive I lost was a Seagate, but that was because of my cheap-ass PSU.

Here's an interesting idea: at the end of the TNM players manual, include inane statistics related to the number of broken computer components during the development of the mod

Heh, that'd be awesome.

you could include the number of times i broke photoshop trying to do stuff for tnm

which would be 2

You could add my harddrive that died.

Yeah Chris lost two at once and Pointman lost one around the same time I lost the first one. And the PSU surge that killed my first harddisk also messed up my graphics card. I think we could produce quite a long list if we put our minds to it

add how many times I reformatted, which is around five I think. Also, Jonas I have this to say to you:

Shouldnt have showed me that... lol

Do upgrades count too? I think I've upgraded at least twice.

Hahah Chris, you can't count formats. I format every time I do a major hardware upgrade, add my lost harddisks and I've had at least as many disk whipes as you

Difference is I actually back up my files before I format.

I lost a hard drive shortly after I agreed to do some stuff for Jonas.

Conversely, HDTP has induced no problems whatsoever.

I think Jonas is cursed.

I think you're right.
