No, it was crashing because I had a glitch caused by one of my torrent programs that caused significant system instability. Was crashing a lot more than just the game, and after restarting it stopped crashing. On topic: Rage. Finished it again, and deleted it. Now preloading Elder Scrolls Online Beta for the 9th...

I want to live, I want to give I've been a miner for a heart of gold. It's these expressions I never give That keep me searching for a heart of gold And I'm getting old. Keeps me searching for a heart of gold And I'm getting old. I've been to Hollywood I've been to Redwood I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line That keeps me searching for a heart of gold And I'm getting old. Keeps me searching for a heart of gold And I'm getting old. Keep me searching for a heart of gold You keep me searching for a heart of gold And I'm growing old. I've been a miner for a heart of gold.

Drinking a screwdriver, and deciding that it would be better to see what the hardware is in the laptops before I start them up... That way I know if there is anything that will slow down the boot...

Rage. Keeps crashing though...

. (yup, that's right... My laptop has been on for 3 days, and there is nothing in my clipboard)
