@Lemm: the highlighter.

@Paramulpoptarttartparatartparamultart: that's pretty neat! Can someone try doing this themselves? It doesn't look faked but I'm curious how easy it is to do.

I had to take the test for a third time in one of my classes. INTJ as well.

But that's impossible! I'm a raphael personality type and you're a Donatello. How can this be? (see cracked.com for more details)

Why yes, I'd love to be told what I am and what I can do by a jumped up magazine multi-choice test that can't even get HALF of its answers right! http://www.indiana.edu/~jobtalk/HRMWebs ... p/mbti.pdf

But why take all that time and effort? Casual racism is just as effective and far easier!

Bad news... :(. My PC was freezing from time to time recently, so I forced myself to make an upgrade. And that was just in time (but not enough) because now I know what was the cause - half of my HDD (Seagate 1.5TB) is gone and cannot be accessed! I've been a long time fan of Seagate HDD's. Never had any problems with so many of them. But not anymore.

And what do you know! I've lost ALL keen games, ALL keen mods and progress and saves, ALL my classic games and even almost ALL of my current gen games (with the exception of some Steam games that I can install again now, but the saves are gone) and whatnot! :(... Not to mention some programs...

What that may matter to you is that I lost my progress on my Crystal Caves level pack I've been doing recently ever since Malvenious released Camoto. Wasn't much advanced, but still lost. Also, I think what I've done for the Duke Nukem 1 HD mod is lost too. Some keen related stuff is gone too, including my Fribbulus Xax Waterfall mod (I've been working on it and on a huge tileset), some sounds, probably music, graphics and other stuff I can't even realize yet would be gone...

Oh well.......

On the good side, now I have a Samsung SSD Evo 840 250GB and Core I5 4670K, with which Windows 8.1 loads to the desktop for about 6-7 seconds. It's impressively fast and can be improved even more, since I've haven't even optimized much the SSD, neither have overclocked my processor. And now there is nothing that can force me back to the old slow HDD's and older versions of windows. Thrust me, investing in SSD is worth it and saves a lot of time.

So yeah.

Nooooooooo! :oops
This is most distressing news. I've had problems with those portable drives from Seagate in the past. I daresay I don't trust them.

I too have a seagate kept regularly updated. I keep my Keen stuff backed up on dropbox too however. I also keep my old backup drive around with important stuff and a few things on memory sticks.

It's a good thing wiivn put all his mods on dropbox, ubuntu one, flash drives, external hard drives, and passed copies around to everyone so it's not lost forever :blush

Your attempt of trying to make fun out of my situation is pathetic.
