This Christmas was an interesting one. First off, it was Christmas eve, and my dad went to get us our favorite food, crab, so we could have it for X-Mas Eve dinner. He went to the store and they were out! But a kind employee gave my dad his crab that he had reserved for his family. He insisted that my dad take it. Then I woke up X-Mas morning, expecting to get what I'd been waiting for forever, Age of Mythology. My brother always gets me what I want the most, and he knew how bad I needed the game. So I opened all of my presents, but no Age of Mythology! I was so sad. So we're downstairs playing NBA Live 2003 for PC, the gift I gave to him, and he goes, go get me some bottled water from the fridge. So I opened the fridge, and there it was! It was the greatest moment of any X-Mas yet! So I install the game and go to play. I watch the cinematics, and then the error message: Initialization Failed. I called tech support, and they said I need a new video adapter. It's just outrageous.

The story continues! I have a terrible graphics card, an S3 ProSavage. I go and buy an Nvididia GeForce 4 graphics card for 1oo bucks. Finally, I would get to play AoM, Madden 2003 would have no graphical errors, and Army Operations would work. Because my graphics card is an onboard and I didn't know what to do, I called Best Buy. They told me to go to the control panel and disable the old card, then to install the new one. I did that, and I started up the computer. The monitor screen was black. It didn't accept the new hardware! I can't take it out and start the computer up again, because I disabled the old graphics card. So I can't play computer at all (I'm on my parents old junky one) until I get the computer to the nearest Best Buy, in Washington. I have a learner's permit but it doesn't matter, for I'm 15, and you have to be 16 to drive a vehicle in Washington. So the only way I can get it fixed is to wait for my parents to take me to Best Buy (probably not for a couple of days). I can't go that long without a computer, and it's a waste of X-Mas break. On top of that, to get it fixed I'll have to pay like 40 bucks.
