So my dad got me some really cool stuff:
many cds:
Serious sam,
Tribes 2,
Command and Conquer:red alert 2,
Battlefield 1942,
Unreal Tournament,
age of empires II: the age of kings,
magic the gathering online(lol)
A TV WITH SOUND FOR MY ROOM!!!!!
Now I can play my Dreamcast, Playstation, and N64 in here.
Also:
A cool looking(yet almost useless here) galileo thermometer
DnD rulebooks (borrowed)
and a silver Wavebird (I only had three)

My original hard drive has only 8.97 Gigs left (but my comp is old enough for that to 29% of total).
So logic said I need a new hard drive. My dad found me one from his work(it had 10 Gigs of stuff on it already) and I hooked it up myself.
this new hard drive is awfully slow(just seeing whats inside take a while) and so I decided to scan it for viruses.
many(along with some adware) were found.
I am now in the process quarantining the bugs in said drive.

specs of new drive:
nick-name:F-type
total size:55 Gigs
bad stuff count:10+

Well, half-life won't work on my pc.
Compatibillty mode ain't doing a thing about it.
when I try to do the tutorial or play the actual game it won't find the disc T_T

So I was clearing off my desk(all kind of random things get there).So then I look to see what CDs i had and i found a copy of half life! I never even knew I had it! I also found my C++ CD and half-life: opposing force.
