Um, no.
If I don't want to answer the door in MY home, I wont.
Just because someone doesn't answer their door, that does not give the "knockee" the right to just open it, especially if it's NOT a family friend or family member.

I agree on the reflection being a bit more faded, however, since the rest of your scene is quite "bright" (lighting is) I think the reflection is best suited like it is.
As we all know, the more light, the clearer the reflection would be.

Therefore, I think it's right how it is, but then from a personal point of view, I don't like reflections to be that clear. So having a bit more fade would be nice (to me). But as I say, that's just a personal preference.

One other thing that's odd is, the florals aren't being reflected.. Not sure why that is. But then, with your quote saying about mistakes, you could quite happily pretend like you did it on purpose. So, it could basically be like a statement being put through in your piece.
Not sure if you had already thought of that for the floral reflection "error". If not, I think you should


Another thing I think would look better is making the text slightly 3D.
I'd suggest putting it so we can see the 3D on the left side. And by slight, I literally do only mean slight.

Other than those few things, I like it.

Best part of this is, he's not the only person to have done this.
Someone else has done it before. I can't remember who but I think I know why they do it.

The flat I am in is kind of like where older (O.A.P's) live, the majority are but a select few are younger people (it's basically so one street/block of flats isn't all young people so they don't cause lots of trouble etc).
So, I believe they think we're oldies who live here (they just assume so) so possibly, they were just letting themselves in because they thought perhaps we were too old to walk etc. I honestly don't know lol.

But still, with 2 sets of stairs, they shouldn't assume that, surely..

So, last night approximately 8:30 p.m and me and a mate are watching the newest episode of Stargate Universe in my front living room (on the tv).
All of a sudden we hear a knock.

Now, one thing I should explain is, my brother has loads of mates come round often, people always knocking, and I always ignore it because I don't like any of his mates (ok there are a couple I do, but the majority i don't).

So, I wasn't expecting anyone, we continued watching, then another knock. We continued to ignore, then all of a sudden the door opened.
I didn't hear the door open but my mate did and said about it, I simply said "it's most likely my brother's girlfriend has forgotten her keys, but tried the door and realized it's not locked."

All of a sudden a couple of seconds I hear a voice I don't recognize (no clue what the voice said), i jump up and go to the door, and some guy has half way up my stairs (we live in a flat, to get to our front door there is about 12 steps, then when you get in the actual flat, there is a further 7 steps).

I had no clue wtf to say, I was just "wha..." and he said "pizza?" I said "what?", he then said "did you order pizza?" I said "no" (in a pissed off tone etc, understandably).

He then simply said "alright sorry", and then left.
Now, I do believe he was a pizza guy because all of our pizza places use a red bag for the food, and he did have one and it did seem as though it had stuff in it. However, I'm thinking maybe it was a clever decoy and really he was just using that to steal?


But in short, has this, or similar, ever happened to you?
(sorry for the wall of text )

Just to let you all know (everyone that helped/replied), this problem is now fixed.
I emailed the emachines support team (originally I emailed the US ones, they redirected me to the UK - I felt so retarded haha).

They replied with simply saying press F11 on start up, or if that fails, use ALT+F10, then it will take me to the Full System Recovery screen. Which it finally did. Woot.
And all is now working, even though everything was erased etc. But neither me or my brother give a crap about that.
He's just glad he didn't have to pay to get it fixed, or worse, buy a new laptop.

He's had the laptop for over a year though (close to a year and a half) and the laptop has been fine up until he got this stupid worm and we I did that update. So eMachine isn't a problem
I contacted eMachine though. Just waiting for a proper response now because I had to supply a SNID for the laptop, but gave the wrong numbers/characters haha. Sent the correct ones now, so lets see what they can do.

I think they are going to suggest buying a windows disc though. I hope they at least try give some other solutions first. Will keep you all updated.

Does anyone know who it's best for me to contact, either eMachine, or MS?
Obviously eMachine because that's the make of the laptop.

Ok so the recovery thing I tried from the link I found didn't work, so I tried this.
When I go into the F2 (BIOS), it obviously displays several tabs, I can't find anything for this

Don't suppose you know exactly where it is?

Halo Reach

Thanks.
What I'm going to do first, is try this:
neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/


I've burnt it ready, so now it's a case of being bothered to do it for my brother.

Tried the demo for it earlier, and I am very impressed by it. I really can imagine myself playing and enjoying it.

I'm going to get Bayonetta and do that but then I'm actually going to attempt AC (only the first one though). I can imagine AC2 is still expensive since I don't think it's that old, right?

---

I tried the demo for DMC4 earlier. I liked it, yet sort of had doubts about it. Overall though I did like it, but I'm unsure on whether it's one I'd want to buy and play the full game of.
I have a PS2 but never play that anymore, haven't for over a year (since I got my 360). Definitely though, if I had a PS3 I'd get God of War.

Weirdly, I hadn't even thought of that.
How do you think I would/could prove it though?

How does one re-install without the disc though?
Remember I can't even logon in, it doesn't get past the loading bit
