Exploding Computers of DOOM!

All the more proof that Gmod is a crappy, computer resource hogging, crash prone piece of computer software that has only become become worse by being bloated with giant mounds of user generated content crap.

That sucks. I melted the PSU on my first computer. It was backed up to a wall and I never noticed. This was like 6 years ago.

And the lesson we learned to today kids is: Don't buy/use the crappy, cheap PSUs that come with prebuilt machines. There is a reason why that computer you bought at best buy or circuit city is so cheap.

1. They stuck with proprietary components that prevent you from upgrading your computer and cost them less money.
2. They used really crappy components that don't meet the demands of your machine.

During classes one time we got behind because one of my classmates laptop acctually started smoking in front of me.  So the teacher told everyone to turn off their computers and wait while the princlple and the school counsler came and tried to sort out what we would do...

...we ended up with no homework that day...

Because Microsoft didn't make it?

Well I had a hole melt in my motherboard one. Not a huge one, but there was one none the less, so I took a soldering iron, some Legos and a few pennies and did a rather crappy patch on it that managed to allow it to work for an extra three days before it ended up catching fire and ruining the whole thing. Ah, those were the days. lol

now i are scared to play gmod DX cause my computer sucks and will probably come to life and mozilla firefox will burn me and aol will shoot lazors and IE and mozzile firefox will get into a fight and blokcland will try to stop them but then blocklands installer will uninstall it and portal will probably suck me in and ill become the AIM messenger guy and i will grab a paint brush from the paint icon and start painting research all over my desktop and then steam will throw a bunch of cheap spammy games at me and windows movie maker will edit the movie that hypercam is making so that its all funny and stuff and then post it on youtube and then fraps will get into a fight with hypercam and delete the youtube video and my recycle bin will break and create a black hole and everything will get sucked into. picture i made. i am bored


i know IE can block virus's too, im just doing that cause idk what other attack to give him, so please dont turn this into a firefox vs. IE even though you have a great reason to... dam

Shame on me for not jumping on the bandwagon and instead actually appreciating a companies product for what it is.

Gmod is a one of a kind game and it has a wide user base. By all definitions it is successful. But the nature of the program (relying mostly on user generated content) makes it tedious to use and difficult (if not impossible) to optimize.

For those with an old computer or lacking a decent internet connection, Gmod can be impossible to play. Joining a server is often a lesson in frustration as you end up having to download every little piece of crap they have decided to cram into it. At least with Blockland the number and size of files is typically smaller and more manageable and the game doesn't require even decent hardware to run it.
