George is getting upset!

One morning, Kyle suggested to Dave that he should install another online game on his computer because he wanted to play it with Dave. Dave wasn't sure if he wanted to, as he had two online games on his computer already, but he figured he would give it a shot.

A couple of nights later he attempts to install the game. However, there was one big problem: the game is japanese and doesn't want to be installed. But that wouldn't stop Dave.

8:45- Dave began the process. He figured it's just one program, he can have it installed in ten minutes so he can call his friend before nine. Man, was he stupid. He was not even close to realizing how long this task would take.

8:55- Dave is talking to Kyle on AOL intanst messenger "KYLE HELP".
"Just open it, double click on it". "No, it won't, becau-". "Windows doesn't like it just try it anyway". "It keeps saying 'Language not compatible'". "Ohh.....you have to right click and then click "explore". "Oh ok".

9:30- The install wizard stalls at 64%. Windows says it needs another disk, and the install wizard says something else that was similar. Dave lost contact with Kyle because his modemness did not want him to remain on the internet for long periods of time. On his own, Dave clicked the windows button and hoped for the best.

Later, as Dave gets a hold of Kyle again:
"Ok, I clicked the thing to take the other disc, but it's frozen".
"...Please don't tell me you did what I thought you did...".

But Dave did do exactly that. He had to restart his computer and reinstall absolutely everything. At this point, Kyle could no longer stand for the boundaries of instant messenger and called Dave's house. After working through more obstacles and challenges, it was quarter of eleven before they even knew it.

10:45- Dave finally got it installed. The victory was bittersweet, because Dave was happy to have finally installed this program he thought he would never have, but he felt defeated as he knew he had yet to post something for his creative writing class and he had not even started yet.

11:10- He just finished telling you his story in the third person, and now he's going to bed.
