lol, i was playing Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, and i was in the middle of stealing stuff, and suddenly a message box popped up saying:


A bad (dead?) pointer has been deleted.
The system will now crash.

Have a NICE day. :)

those exact words. LOL. i suppose it's good to throw in some humor, kind of dulls the pain of losing an hour of work.

I think it's funny that the system is always organized enough to let you know that it will now crash and wait for your approval, but it never has the werewithall to avoid crashing.

Kinda like the older Windows systems notify you it's gonna run Scandisk, waits for you to press a key, but doesn't provide any way to abort it. That anooys me so much... (Either automate it, or let me abort...)

I always thought the older windows let you abort scandisk.. the only one i havent been able to abort as far as i can remember is Windows XP.. if it starts, you have to wait for it to finish, which is kind of a pain in the arse when one of your machines has an 80gb hard drive.

:laughing: That's humorous. Those kinds of things are what makes video games fun. Or at least some of the things that make it fun. Fun shit!

At least it knows that it's doing something wrong, even if it doesn't learn from it's mistake.

i skip it whenever i can (sometimes though im not paying attention :cry:)

that reminds me... my hdd is due for a defrag sometime soon... ;)

(hdd = hard drive disk) <-- for those who didnt or dont know ;)
