Videogames... HOW DO THEY WORK!?

Ugh...

I dont think anyone knows how they work.

Why would it stop working and now you are missing an EXE? That doesn't make sense.

Now having some bad sectors on a failing hard drive, THAT makes sense.

Tried running steam as administrator? I hope that doesn't sound silly but trying to run stuff as administrator (even though I'm logged in as the computer administrator) has fixed tons of stuff on my end.

Yep, I tried running Steam as an admin yesterday, I just forgot to list it there.

As it is, I'm trying the only suggestion I was really given and that is to remove my Source titles (namely HL2) and reinstall it all (HL2/Ep1/Ep2/CSS/Garry's Mod).

Signa! What is that monster thing?

I was wondering when someone would ask... comon, you guys are gamers, figure it out. :)

Something space invaders related. Judging by its name "spaceinvader3.png" and a reverse-image search.

Thanks to reverse image lookup on Google, it is indeed a "Space Invaders Monster."

Also, I'm not from the time of space invaders but why is the space invaders monster a werewolf?

Im changing the filename to goatse.

[CptainCrunch]

I must not have been a good enough player in space invaders because I dont recall the monster.

[signa]

It was never in the game. just a picture on the side of the original arcade game :)

OK, since TGN was down down I no longer had a way to write blogs. So I decided to start a blog site up of my own using the WordPress site. You can go to it by going to cptaincrunch.com and it will redirect you.

I posted up a couple items and have added some other things and plan to expand it a little more.

I cant get the RSS feed to work. I added it to my rss reader but its not working. I'm not sure its you though, It's happened on other websites too.

That usually doesn't matter when you use Google's reverse image lookup.

So whats with the change to using your real name zips?
