So, over the weekend my BF and I installed League of Legends. He has an extra computer over there that I use for gaming, and I was playing it for a bit before he installed it. I had 0 problems, and an ATI card, everything was running great.
He installs it on his computer, which has an Nvidia GTX 570. Game runs fine at first, but then it crashes and messes up his display driver, and his computer becomes unresponsive until it finally reaches the blue screen of death - related to his gfx driver not responding. He reboots and is pissed and takes a break.
About an hour later he comes back to the game and it crashes and his display flickers and he gets chain "your graphics card recovered from an error" messages over and over, until finally blue screen of death again.
So he logs back on his comp and uninstalls League of Legends cause hes absolutely raging at this point, but now his computer cant really do anything without having chain "graphics card recovered..." errors, so he attempts to do a clean install of new Nvidia drivers. It keeps crashing mid install until he tries a different version - which is successful. Hooraay right? NO, WRONG!
So after about 4 hours of messing around with all sorts of stuff - manually removing all the drivers, using a driver sweeper, etc etc, STILL we get the blue screen of death. God Damnit!
So he wipes his hard drive and after that sends a nasty message to Riot, which they respond with "its just your machine" in short.
Stupid me, I actually LIKE the game so I go home to my comp and install it, thinking it was just bad luck on his part. Guess what happens?!?!?!?!!?!?
Yea, everything above except my graphics card is FRIED. Yep, League of Legends FRIED my graphics card, its now serving as a paper weight. I can't even afford to buy a new one at this point so I'm stuck on my macbook until my boyfriend lends me his old 8800gts (so old, but better than nothing) I really like LoL though, and so my next card will be ATI since apparently it is immune to the LoL bugsplat of doom.
Le sigh.

I dreamt I was Lady Gaga's backup dancer in Tera
Last night I had yet another one of my weird dreams. I always have crazy messed up dreams pretty much every night, and I can remember about 90% of them perfectly. It's a side effect of a medication I'm on.
I dreamt I was Lady Gaga's backup dancer. I don't particularly like her, but whatever. I was picked up to replace a sick dancer, and I was on stage dancing around without knowing wtf I was doing. I'd do some pirouettes and kinda skip around, and I imagined that I looked like a complete idiot. You know it's bad when you can't even dance well in your dreams ;-).
Also, another part of the dream I was trying to harvest some essences with my cell phone, in real life - but it wasn't working and my guild leader was getting pissed off. I think it comes from the fact that my guild in Tera had a huge falling out last night and I was caught in the middle of it. I'm taking a month off of the game - I haven't decided who's side I'm on because I really like everyone >.< Much hate for the drama. I especially hate when two sides are both tugging me in their direction and I really don't want to hurt anyones' feelings.
Le sigh.

First Post
Hello, this is my first post :-)
I'm just a girl who likes playing video games and sewing glittery figure skating costumes. People often have no idea what I'm talking about because I'm so random. I sometimes have a hard time conversing with people because I can't seem to stay on just one topic, therefore exhausting the other person who's trying to keep up with whatever the hell I'm talking about!
I also enjoy all forms of art, except I was never good at playing musical instruments so I tend to just listen. Otherwise, I love writing, drawing/painting, and photography. I always wanted to be some sort of artist when I grew up, until I got to high school and decided that I'd become a programmer and make lots of money.
Unfortunately, right after I received my BSCSS from UW Bothell (Basically a CS degree) I decided that I HATED programming full-time. I specialized in mobile game development during my time in college, and didn't realize (until after I'd done some time at a game studio) that the part I enjoyed most about it was actually designing the characters in Adobe Illustrator. Doh!
Oh, and I've been playing all sorts of computer games since I was 4. Fun times!
