You know you two brothers seem very alike

[Goober5000]

The other two files might be .csg and .css.

I have the feeling Hippo might've done some of this just to be mean to you...

...but that's just me.

If someone put my CDs in the microwave, I'd take extra precautions too.  

Perhaps precautions involving electrical shock torture therapy.

Microwaving a FS disk (even an unuseable end of life FS1 disk) is a felony! I would be VERY harsh with my little brother  (if I had one that lived ) if he even *Thought* of touching my comp or worse yet MY FS stuff!

   You should be very ashamed of yourself, confess your latest sin, and beg his forgiveness. Then mention BTW dumbass your files are corrupt or something cause you didn't back them up right

  Lastly he needs to get a proper backup made and change that folder to "Im Case of Little Brother", and put it in a safe deposit box... And give the key to his girlfriend so you can't search his room for it!

   

[Turnsky]

THIS is precisely why i'm thankful that i was born an only child:p

[Hippo]

Eh hem...

*swoops in from above*

Does he triple-encrypt his files and have a padlock on the fridge so that the governemnt cant mess with his drinks?

No, put them in a winzip, back them up several dozen times, monitor the times they've been opened, and put a password on them...

How old are you? I mean, did you REALLY freaking nuke his CD?!

Hes 12 (adopted) He microwed the AHTW backup CD, and apparently lost FS2 CD1... (hes paying fr the replacement)

You should be very ashamed of yourself, confess your latest sin, and beg his forgiveness. Then mention BTW dumbass your files are corrupt or something cause you didn't back them up right

He din't actually do anything either... He ran FS off the autorun from the CD... That led to a backup install with that i would use for Multiplayer... If he had run the game from the icon in the quick-toolbar, it would have worked...

he just called from a friends house, wrking on getting freespace installed there, and he wants me to find out how many assists he has (who knows why) so i said that i would call him back.

I was watching this whole thing unfold while i was away... the phonecall was just for panic...

The file i found was in the folder as follows;

Half those folders are hidden anyways...

(even an unuseable end of life FS1 disk)

how can you put unuseable and FS1 in the same sentense?

Man, you are evil.

I want to go to Aldoran and learn to be a jedi like you. Or however the **** ever that quote goes.

[Hippo]

meh... hes getting off easy... He just has to pay the 5.99 shipping for the repcement disk... and i fgured it still let him play, since i isn't actually messed up... (he can play when im not )

OT
would i get a money order in the bank? or post office?

[Stryke 9]

I was more referring to the phone call.

[Sesquipedalian]

Money orders come from the bank.  Careful with it once you've got it.  It is just like cash, so don't lose it.

[Rictor]

I have abig bro (well twins, but he's bigger than me) and I know how it sucks to get blamed for all the stuff that goes wrong with the comp:D

Go easy on the little fella Hippo, he'll probably end up knowing more about computers than you in a few years so then you wanna be on his good side

[Hippo]

meh... im teaching him FS stuff now... he like computers, but doen't know much about them...

Hippos school of; "Putting your brother into awkward situations and making them awkwarder..."

[Whitelight]

Hippo, now I know what you were talking about when you told me you were watchin your brother postin, I didn`t even think that it was on the HLPBB

(edit) Hippo if you have any trouble getting that FS2 disk, I got you covered, ok..

[Star Dragon]

Sorry I meant (if) a FS1 disk has reached the end of it's life (damage or missing other disk ect...) I still have the trifold and disc (2 I think) for my first FS1. I love the game so much I had to buy it again even though I have FS2... I break it out every few months... (Die Vasudan!)...


   As for your brother. Get him into modling (get them while they're young) "train him you must, yes.".... "When 33 years old you will be, look this good you will not, heh." Damn yodaisms....

[Hippo]
