Title: Bad day...
Post by: squirrelof09 on November 17, 2008, 02:39:57 AM
Okay.. So today, I got bored. I wanted to play some g66 2.0, so I downloaded that. Then I needed the pb1 patch, so I downloaded that. And then I needed my battlezone II disk, so I found that.

I laid it on my chair so I could get up, my cell phone rings, it's my girlfriend, so I walk away and talk with her for 15 minutes.

I come back and I sit down in my chair, and

I can make an exact cd image (with copy protection in-tact if there is any) and send it if you so wish, I am quite sure you actually had one that is cracked. :P
Either way, with such an image you can burn it to get a useful disk again, just without the logo stuff (unless you have a CD Printer, I used to have one, but it died a while back, professional looking, all the fancy effects short of holographic).

Same happened to me a while back. A note: If GBD sends you an ISO, don't use it, It'll only install to c:\Battlezone 2 and it doesn't even do that properly. I found a copy in a charity shop (a better copy than my original, actually) and use that now, but they're fairly cheap on Amazon and, I'm told, eBay.

I'd go for OM's image if you can, he knows what he's doing, take it from me. But hey, you know that :)

She did it on purpose.  You spend more time with BZ2 than her and she knows you have a tendency to put things on your chair, so a quick distraction and problem solved.

There's more than meets the eye with women...

I'd say. What were you thinking putting a CD on a chair?

@Red Devil:I actually think that's his sister, he said he was talking to his GF on the phone, unless that was just a clever distraction :P

So much unneccesary sexism...

WAIT, SHE BROKE THE CD? MURDER HER AND HER KIND!!!!

Ah, but it was Squirrel's neglect that led to this breaking.

Heresy! BZ2 CDs must always be transported on a cloth of fine golden trimmed silk and with the utmost care! He must be burned at the stake!

Or he could buy it on Amazon.com for like 5 bucks. That's easier on the wallet than buying all that gasoline.

That's not what I said at all! O_o

I meant he was talking to his GF on the phone, and his SISTER broke the CD while he was away doing so.

OM, I might take up on that offer. It would take about 3 days to download due to my limited bandwidth. I guess I should expect a PM if you don't mind.

And about my finding a old copy - Never could :(.

And yeah GBD, I wasn't aware of the problems with your ISO.

And My sisters are moved out, but they aren't far away.. In the same school district. However, we do have a Russian foreign exchange student with us, but she was out doing community service at the time I broke the disk :(.

So you blame someone from on THE PHONE!

So his GF's sister is actually....him/herself???  *shakes head vigorously*

Bah, I could download 600megs in about 8 minutes. :P
Although my upload royally sucks, will take me a few hours.  Perhaps I should just ftp it from my home computer since I doubt you will have that speed anyway.

Ooo, better yet, how about I just setup a torrent and you can download it from me directly that way, can download it as you please until you have it all, do not have to worry about a bad copy then (and of course I would set the private flags and all such, host a private server on a private IP only for the purpose of this file, upon which I will then delete).  I think I will do that.  If you can, catch me on IM in, say, 2.5 hours (I should be home by then) and remind me.

EDIT:  Will have to find my disk first, in my closet in a box somewhere.  I have been pulling from the same 'mother-dough/directory' for years now too...

All I know is, somebody sat on a CD. It might have been his GF, sister, or a russian exchange student. (CCA SPY ZOMG)

Edit: OOOOOOOOHHHH! It was squirrel who sat on it! He threw me off with 'the person who's responsible' in small font. Well, let me get my gasoline.

Clearly Squirrel needs to court marshal his own arse...

Or  :-D  Clearly Squirrels bum is an illegal enemy combatant! and he should extraordinarily render it off to Guantanamo bay, detain it indefinately (recommended) and harshly interrogate it for any intelligence it may have about the rest of his body...

Why would you ever leave a cd on your chair? Why!? That's just asking for it to be broken.


And I'm also assuming Squirrel is the one who sat on it.
Title: Re: Bad day...
Post by: AHadley on November 20, 2008, 04:58:52 PM
Let's clear this up.

SQUIRREL sat on the disk.

He was, however, on the PHONE to his GIRLFRIEND at the time.

EDIT: This is the GIRL that he is blaming it on (For BBB who didn't seem to be able to pick that up)

The finished their conversation, squirrel sat down, and crack - no more BZ2 for the Commander.
Title: Re: Bad day...
Post by: bigbadbogie on November 20, 2008, 09:20:42 PM
Then why was it the girl's fault?

Unless she was the girlfriend on the phone but it is hardly her fault if she is that far away.
