Q. I want to store my computer game on my hard drive. So what I did is I copied all of the CD files to my hard drive hoping it would run from that. Then I envoked it and it just said to insert the disk v_v. Do you guys know of a way to store it on my hard drive and for my computer to read it like a regular CD
A. Some computer games, in order to prevent piracy, deliberately check for a particular CD to be in the CD drive. If that Cd is not there the game will not run. If your game has that kind of feature, you can't fool it without actually modifying the game program. That is hacking and quite difficult, let alone bordering on illegal.
Sometimes the computer game is simply thinking that the files are on a CD. In that case you find the shortcut of the game and right click. When properties dialog box comes up, look for a field labeled 'Start In'. You will see that it uses the drive letter of the CD drive. Change that drive letter to your hard drive and give the full path of where you have stored the content. Then upon double clicking this shortcut, it will look on the hard drive instead of a CD.

Help! Husband and son addicted to computer game!?
Q. My husband and 12-year-old son are completely addicted to an online computer game. They play it from the moment they get home until well past my son's bedtime - literally 4-5 hours a night, and much longer on weekends. The only thing they'll stop playing for is if my son has baseball or soccer. This game has totally consumed their lives.
Now, my son is doing fine in school, is in great physical shape, and has tons of friends (who also play this stupid game, although not nearly as much). But I still feel this is very unhealthy! But my husband insists there's nothing wrong with it - it's their way of relaxing, bonding and spending "quality time" together. And he points out that he spends a lot more time with our son than most fathers do - which is probably true.
My argument is: wouldn't it be better to spend some of that "quality time" doing something else? Going fishing, building a doghouse, making model airplanes? Even some good old-fashioned TV watching?? But my husband counters with: how is any of that better? What's it matter what we're doing, as long as we're together having fun?
I don't know how to reply to that! Does he have a point? Is it really okay to spend 10 hours straight on a Saturday playing a computer game? I just can't see how that's healthy - but I can't come up with anything else to prove my point!
HELP!!

A. Some computer games are extremely addicting and can seriously ruin peoples lives if not taken care of. Some games even clearly warn you about possible addiction on the back. Let me tell you a little about my personal experiences with games like this.
It all started four years ago when i bought a game called World of Warcraft. The most addicting game that exists. There are millions of people around the world that play this famouse game and get addicted to it and sad to say i was one of them. Me and my friends would play this game every singal possible moment we could. Though i wasnt as addicted as my friends i still would play the game well over ten hours if i could. My friends would skip school to stay home and play the game, they would stay up days playing it for days! After 4 years i finally realised that what i was doing was wrong and if i keept going on like that i would seriously mess up my life. I found the power to quit that stupid game after 4 years! Sadly i cant say the same for a lot of my close friends who to this day are still addicted. They hardly ever leave their house! It is really hard to get over the addiction if your really get into it, it has been described worst than drugs. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/earthnews/3338422/Video-game-addiction-'like-being-on-drugs'.html
