I don't really play with anyone, but maybe that should change. If we all post up our favourite multiplayer games... ME3 and L4D2 are some of my favourites for the rare occasions on which I do play with others. I also just got Killing Floor, which is on sale for £3.49 for another hour or two.

I searched old ass motherfucker on youtube for a response video, but I got this instead and I felt like I should share it because god damn


This contrasts so hard with what I was just listening to.

Why the fuck are you people still in school, it's nearly July.


English schools don't break up 'til the end of June, and their exam season continues that long as well (exams work differently in the UK). One of the best things about being in the Scottish school system is avoiding that. Yaayyy.
Fucking oldfags.

It will be from beyond the grave, that's the only way adults are free.


Idle: making soon-to-be-18-year-olds feel just so much better about their impending societal responsibilities since 2014.
I have an almost-5-month long summer this year. c:

Try typing in, 'run', in the start menu, or if you're using Windows 8 then whatever the alternative is to open the, "Run a Program", box. Then type in, '%appdata%', and see if there's a skype folder. If there is delete it, and try deleting the registry entries again.


Way ahead of you - that's exactly what I did before even touching the registry.

I have the exact same problem and have tried the exact same solutions in the past, Halo. The one that ended up working best was restricting Skype use to my mobile.


Skype also refuses to work on my phone, so I guess I'm just fucked. It's particularly important as one of my best friends is going to China for the whole summer and is reluctant to use anything that's illegal there (read: Facebook).

Can't you just use the uninstall thing from windows settings instead of deleting every file or using skype's uninstall[Edit] oh you already solved it never mind


Nope, not solved. Exactly the same problem has just arisen. Skype stopped refreshing messages, crashed, and now refuses to let me sign back in. The annoying background process is still there and is as unclosable as ever.
Regardless, although I appreciate the advice, I actually already did what you said - then went even deeper and pulled out everything else an uninstall leaves behind. It's evidently just a Skype error, not something to do with the way it's installed on my comp.

That's awkward. I've completely removed Skype a few times in the past month, because I fucking hate how the new versions have ads in all conversation windows so I uninstall it and reinstall an older version whenever it automatically updates (despite me having that feature supposedly turned off). Never had a problem getting rid of it.


I might try going back to an older version just 'cause I never used to have issues with it. That or I'll have to try the Windows 8 app rather than the version for desktop...

Yeah, I saw that Halo. I lived in England for five years, so I know firsthand how important the World Cup is haha. I was SO shocked when they got knocked out. I was betting there was riots going on lmao.


Technically they still have a chance - they have to absolutely dominate Costa Rica, and hope Italy win both their other games (against Uruguay and Costa Rica). That way they could come out second on goal difference. :/ But yeah, I'm freaking devastated, I had such high hopes for this new, younger squad.
I think I've managed it. Nabbed the file and deleted it immediately after rebooting, before the weird unclosable background process began. Ended up going into the registry and deleting every single effing mention of Skype. Scorch the fucking earth.
