So I have had one annoying day today.

I finally get a day off and thought I'd entertain myself on my laptop. Last time I used my laptop I had a Windows Update 26 of 26. This time I come to use it and it gets to the log in screen. I put my password in and the screen goes black and that's it. Great update. Very useful. So after restoring factory settings to get my laptop back to life I finally get back to a useable laptop. Again I reinstall Start is Back because it is far better than the crap they created to make Windows different and "better".

So finally get back to my desktop and set a wallpaper and I thought I'd play a game now. So I double click on the game but Steam is no longer installed. No matter. **Installs Steam**

Log-In. So I put my account name and the password that I think it is because its been so long as it normal saves the password. It didn't like the password I tried. So I tried a couple of other passwords. Still failed. I went on reset password and set the new password to what I thought it would be. Right now log in. Nope wrong password. How? I have just set it to that?

So this has got me all frustrated today and this is on top of the issues I have been having with my Xbox One. I bought my X1 over a month ago now and haven't really been able to play it. I bought it for The Elder Scrolls Online and every 5 minutes or so it cuts off and disconnects. It has never and still doesn't do this on the 360. Getting frustrated I contacted Bethesda on 2 occasions and they got me to change settings and run tests and still didn't work. They said it is probably Microsoft I need to get in touch with. I got in touch with them 4 times and they got me to change more settings, run tests, uninstall the games and restore console to factory settings and other stuff and they think my problem is to do with Virgin Media. I have been in touch with Virgin Media twice and they haven't responded at all. All of this and many other things that have happened to me regards technology makes me believe that it would be all better back on the shelves of the shop and the money better off in my bank account.

I have now decided to unearth the oldest of old laptop I bought ages ago from a shop that closed down long ago. Guess what. It f*cking works and has some of the best "games of those times" on it. I am looking forward to now being able to at least entertain myself during my day off because this relic has games like Cossacks, Rome Total War, Medieval Total War, Tiberian Sun and Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 on it.

sometime the older ones are the best, they were better made for a start.

For what it's worth, that "reset password on Steam" thing has bugged me in the past, too. You have my sympathies.

Playing an MMO on a console is your own dang fault, though.
