Now that I am 37, and ancient, like a prescott cpu, and an 87 subaru..both going for world records in perfect runtime...

I decided to step up to an infinty ward game called modern warfare 2...
it has been 6 years since I bought a game...

what happened? the exact same error as call of duty 1...6 years ago...in a galaxy far far away...black screen, hear sound, decides to come back every few minutes then disappear again. I do remember applying a patch for cod1 to make it play, but today, the billionares can just shove it up the arese it came from, I deleted all 11gb of it.

"I am getting too old for this sh*t" :roll:

37 is not old... i'm 56, and every few months i renew an addiction to far cry and crysis... i play non-stop, until carpal tunnel wrecks my mouse arm, i can't play anymore, and i have to switch hands for normal computer use.

your pc probably didn't have enough horsepower to play that game.

Old is anything older than you. Young is any age younger than you.

But you knew that.

i don't need kids adivce, built and sold a dozen...horspeower is for ricers...gimme the torque anyday.

Don't make me mention my injuries...my 60 year old dad is trucking around alot more than I... :roll:

if you must know the error...my old machine is too fast. It is the smallest machine on thier list...but maybe they did not account for a 725mhz vid card paired to it. Vid encodng has been spectacular, that is the bigger goal, (excellent syncher-- sure thing every time.) not about to go crazy with cores... :wink:

Calm down. It's not like we are talking about health care or something.
