Your Playstion Doom and D64 tracks are some of the best dark ambient I've heard, and I've bought both of them. I'll definitely be checking these out after work tonight :)

Lol seniority pissing contests are the first things I always think of when I think about Doomworld.

I've always imagined all of the monsters like wild animals who evolved to be much more violent and sadistic than humans did. While humans evolved to use reason and logic, we lost our physical power. And while the demons evolved to rely on straight up brute force and blood shed, they greatly lack in intelligence, including strategy and elegance in combat. That's just kind of how I imagined it.

E3M8 was never really considered the climax for me, since I started out on Ultimate Doom. E4M8 was pretty cool to me back in the day. Fighting through hordes of monsters to get to the spidermastermind felt much more like a proper climax to me, and somewhat still is, but could still be better. Map 30 was always just garbage to me. A face in the wall that is conveniently in front of a random elevator, and your main disadvantage is the stupid fact that you can't aim your rocket launcher slightly downwards. Who in their right minds thought that was a good idea? They already made several other new monsters for the sequel, why not one for the final boss? Why did it have to be a wall texture?

How long have you been waiting to use that word?

Hey I'd just like to say that I finally got to test some games out after refreshing Windows, and that seems to have done it! My games appear to be working quite well and smoothly now. Thanks to those who posted helpful suggestions! I really wasn't expecting any tech support, just a rant. But it seems like most of my stuff is working pretty well now!

I think I should clerify that my issues are mostly performance related. Besides that, my problems are often things that are new to me, so I have to learn how to deal with it. I've had a number of issues in the past where they've come up before, and I was able to fix them just fine. It's just the latter often leaves me stumped, and it's so tiring. I have never said I expect it to work like a console. I expected it to be complicated and difficult. I'm saying that sometimes, I miss the simplicity. I've said multiple times already that I'm willing and have, multiple times, pulled up my sleeves and went elbows deep into the issues for hours to days at a time. But I guess I'm not as good as I should be. As for your other suggestions, I think my issue for performance is software, I have yet to properly test my games after reinstalling Windows and fixing the driver issue, so I'll see what happens.

Lol maybe I'd be happier on a bike

And the biggest problem is I'm not a mechanic. I try to educate myself as I go along, but man, when I spend more time banging my wrench into the car, I wonder if driving it is worth the stress sometimes.

Yeah I figured there would be some dickish comments like this. I didn't realize refreshing windows would require me to reinstall the motherboard. So excuse me for not realising the motherboard was the issue to begin with. Excuse me for being annoyed after spending hours to days, Googleing my own parts, testing several fixes, rerunning installation programs, and swinging in the dark until I finally find the fix. Not even referring to just the motherboard, but to many issues I have with my computer.

I've been trouble shooting my own problems, been trying to educate myself, and getting my hands pretty dirty since I started PC gaming. But I ways run into these situations where I'm totally dumb founded, and there are times where I'm stuck for days at a time trying to fix such an awkward issue. It just doesn't seem right when 5% I'm having fun, and 95% of the time fixing rediculous issues.

I guess in the same way sticking a knife underneath your fingernails is.

Yes!! It worked!! What a frigging relief! I was inches away from just giving my PC up to Geek Squad or something. Thanks for the help bro!

Uninstalled the Ethernet Controller, but there was no option in Device Manager for network adaptors. But after doing that I rebooted, and it didn't fix the issue. The Ethernet Controller icon had an exclamation point over it again, so I'm not sure. I tried updating it before too, but didn't do anything. My PC did not come with a CD... Ugh... Unless you mean the Motherboard disk, if so I'll give that a shot.
