HL2 and ATIOmegaUiAN drivers blew up my PC

Don't you just love threads that start this way?

My PC was running great than after I put your program on it everything went to shit. Fire and smoke started billowing out from under my desk and killed my whole family. Now I want my two dollars and I'll stalk you everywhere you go until I get it.

Yes we were all new at one point but some of us were never that new. You gotta just laugh at it all.

I think linux changed the diameter of the cylinders on my new hard drive because I can't log into AOL any more.

I wonder if Zardon and company ever get blamed for stuff like this?
I loaded your web page and it made my monitor explode.
I went to DH and it had a malicious link embedded that led me to a secret Russian hacker site. They stole my windows key and formatted C:\ before I could close out. Now when I try to start my computer it starts play the theme song from Love Boat.
We can settle out of court for a postage stamp and a pack of chewing gum.

LOL

I'm sure you guys have to get all sorts of nonsense.
That has to hit harder for people like Omega and others writting programs like Radlinker et al. You'd have to filter through bogus claims to find legit ones that may indicate bugs. We won't even go into that aspect of the Catalyst crews lives.

That just gave me an idea for a great game played in board meetings and court houses abroad...The blame game. Hmmmmmm.

Sup state buddy. I'll split it with you if it works out.

But yes this is basicly a joke. It was inspired by some of the threads I've seen around the net.
* (no actual threads were hurt in the making of this one. Any resemblance to an actual thread is mere coincidence.)

We've all seen wild claims and allegations before and are bound to see many more over time. It's best to view them as a comedy skit more than a proclamation of ignorance and/or sheer stupidity.

That's the spirit. I'm almost out of exploding, narcotic mind controlling gum. I was starting to get the shakes.

I came to the realization some time ago that if something like that can piss me off it could also be equally amusing if viewed from the "right perspective".
