Doctor Destiny 41 Posted June 21, 2008 Not to be taken seriously. At all. Enjoy. Sonic 4.6b: Seen regularly running on user's systems. Its presence is prone to system slowdowns but rarely causes a system crash. Tends to be fussy with certain programs, causing blue screens or corrupted files during these volatile interactions. Also prone to forcing reboots for unknown reasons. Saracen 1.2: A rewrite of the C&C King 4.0 program. However, the dev team reports there is little more than a naming update rather than a rewrite. This program is still quite volatile when interacting with new users, or other programs. Has a strange tendency to reference old games, bringing up erratic error messages in random intervals. Also prone to causing system crashes when anything from 2000 or newer is installed on the drive. Luk3us 6.0g: The function behind this program is entirely unknown. Has a tendency to bombard users with gobs of alert windows all over their screens. Attempts at scaling back its alert generation subroutines all meet with blue screens, crashed systems and corrupted data. Also tends to generate garbled error logs. Doctor Destiny 12.5: The naming subroutine seems to have corrected itself. Users were constantly bombarding the help desk with tales of a mutating worm on their system. No worm was ever detected and devs traced the unusual behavior back to this program. Also tends to be volatile like the Saracen program, often causing massive system crashes. Several users report fried hardware from violent interactions with viruses. TheBlackOut 5.5: Another quirky program. Often attempts to install Firefox on the system and crashes when unable to properly do so. Users are warned when forcibly closing this program as an ALT-F4 almost always generate a crash. Several users have reported other odd behavior while this program is running; namely their lights going out. The devs are still looking into this malfunction. Cygnus 1.x: The dev team reports all versioning data for this program has been misplaced, or lost. Pops in randomly and leaves strange text documents on the desktop and disappears again for months. Tends to place error logs in random directories with random file name and extensions. Also has a strange affinity for the band Rush, often leaving message windows with tidbits about the band. Mina Synd 7.0: Freshened from the last few releases, however the grammar subroutine is still missing. Tends to post message boxes with bad grammar and excessive amounts of text emots, which has irritated several users. Is extremely fussy when interacting with certain programs and even more so when being forcibly closed; always generates a blue screen upon being ALT-F4'd or just crashes the system. Also tends to write generate messy error logs when closed. Alphabear 0.5: Seldom seen. However, tends to appear and disappear randomly, only to change the user's time and date, throwing the entire network out of sync causing a full network crash, requiring a hard reboot. Attempts at repairing the time/date routine all meet with blue screens and local crashes. Also tends to overwrite timestamps with random ones in existing documents. BioBen 1.6: A newer addition to the system. Seems to integrate well but still causes glitches here and there. However, several users have reported missing desktop icons and start menu folders. Many other users have reported missing files and misplaced start menus. Also seems to close Firewire connections for no apparent reason. Louis EX 5.0: Another quirky system entity that had been previously waxed from the system on account of too many message windows popping up. However, has since been reintroduced without any detrimental results. But, tends to download extremely weird Japanese music and force the user to Audiosurf it. Always generates a crash when being closed before the Audiosurfing is complete. F15PilotX 9.75: Someone malformed the source code and no one has bothered to repair it since. Quite a resource and bandwidth hog on any machine running it. Tends to send users to Renegade modification websites without their consent, namely A Path Beyond. Also likes to display its online gaming stats on all over the screen, much to the user's dismay. The devs report a patch to remove its Internet connectivity is imminent. Dr. Rodney McKay 7.2e: A strange program on the system. Previously had naming symptoms similar to the Doctor Destiny program but has since worked itself out. While normally a background process, has a strange tendency to take over and generate nonsensical message windows, which make no sense except to itself. And several users swear up and down that it has left anti-semitic messages on their screens. Also tends to leave no trace of its presence except for a lone, empty text document on the desktop. General Leang 8.7d: Pops in randomly, and eats the memory. When running, this program grinds the system to a halt, and causes other programs to crash. Seems to be running massive amounts of Internet Explorer browsers in the background. Attempts at closing the windows always causes a crash and forces a blue screen. Also tends to dump massive error logs. mormreed 4.12: Randomly pops in and leaves again. No one is quite sure of this program's function, at all. Seems to dump program code into documents and then tries to compile it. Tends to leave the extension off and generates a compiler error on the screen, which users are unable to clear without a restart. Attempting to ALT-F4 it always generates a crash. The dev team is really unsure why this program appears. sith_wampa 6.6: An upgrade on the crdgohan program, though most users continually complain about its presence. Seems to pop in at inopportune moments. Tends to cause crashes in very random intervals. Always causes a crash when ALT-F4'd or otherwise forcibly closed. Also seems to conflict with security software with its outgoing bandwidth always trying to download bad music. The devs report a full-scale rewrite is in testing. rEdaSbLood 5.0: A recently freshened release with a toned back interface. Still tends to cause massive lag spikes when launching and refuses to be closed peaceably until it has launched entirely. Even then, it is still prone to crashy behavior. Also tends to open itself without warning, usually forcing the user to yank the plug in frustration. The function behind this program is widely unknown but removing it causes a system meltdown. W32.MaskedShah: An odd virus that infects through the usual ways, mainly via an email from an African dignitary promising millions of dollars. Several users have been fooled into previewing this message and getting infected. The virus spreads itself through mailing lists and even has the insidious ability to attack non-proprietary systems as well. However, this particular virus is more of a nuisance than a threat, causing text files to appear with the virus arguing with itself or humorous dialogue exchanges. If infected, the devs recommend leaving this alone. Nmenth 9.6 build 2242: A new addition to the system that has been running for a while. Started with complaints but has been toned back with recent releases and the latest builds have attempted to improve stability and reduce its crashiness. However, the latest have been known to drop randomly placed nuke images on user's desktops and the uncanny ability to mutate text files into garbled nonsense. MS.BlyTwo: A strange virus with an odd affinity for conspiracies. Tends to shove theory websites down users' throats. Very fussy when attempted to be forcibly closed. Always causes a blue screen or a huge hard drive crash. Attempts at cleaning the virus from infected systems tends to force a reboot or, in severe cases, the power supply explodes. Quite literally. Also tends worm in without being detected. Devs are stumped to this behavior. If you think you deserve one, post and I'll see about giving you your own. Share this post Link to post

Mina Synd 0 Posted June 22, 2008 the only reason i don't use proper grammar is because i'm used to chat programs, NOT forums. i always forget you're meant to use proper grammar on forums... and seeing as this is the only forum i go on, i'm not gonna bother. you just have to put up with me ^-^ admit it, you wuvs me xD Share this post Link to post

Mina Synd 0 Posted June 23, 2008 there used to be websites that told you that sort of thing xD too many programs now... not enough websites o.O; luckily most programs now don't have any major glitches like those o.o; i can't remember the last time i saw a blue screen or system crash (not counting the power outage yesterday X3; ) Share this post Link to post
General Leang 0 Posted June 23, 2008 Okay, I will bite. Something along the lines of having a tendancy to pwn conspiracy theorists perhaps, those were good times. Share this post Link to post
