How to mess with friends who don’t know crap about basic computer stuff. This happened not too long ago.

Friend: hey, r u online?
Me: it isn’t obvious, is it?
F: I’m trying to watch this movie on my PC. There’s no subtitles.
download Brigadoon dvd Desperate Hours download download Enchanted Me: what movie is that?
F: ghost town
Me: Ricky Gervais, British guy?
F: yeah, think so
Me: you’re using what player?
F: VLC
Me: then why do you need subs?
F: the dialogue, the accent, I can’t get to it
Me: okay, do this. Play the movie. Once it’s running, right-click on the center of the screen, a drop-down menu appears
F: okay, wait…
Me: can you see Audio?
F: where is that
Me: right above Video, in the drop-down menu
F: oh, right
Me: Audio, then Enhancements, then click “Remove British Accent”
F: where is this?
Me: I just told you
F: wait…
F: can’t find it.
Me: you can’t find “Remove British Accent?” are you sure?
Curly Sue hd F: wait.
F: nope, nothing here
Me: that’s strange. Should be there, though. You must be using an old version. Check the version. Click Help, then click About VLC
F: wait
F: where is Help?
Me: see the upper controls of the VLC. There’s Media, etc, then Help.
F: okay
In a Spiral State the movie My Sisters Keeper divx
The Return of Godzilla trailer
Me: does it say there “Before Christ” or “After Christ?”
F: where do I see that?
Me: should be there under About VLC. It states the version of the software you’re using
F: I see only this
F: VLC media player version 0.9.9 grishenko
Me: dammit. That’s an obsolete version. Im sure that came before they put the “Remove British Accent” feature
F: fuck. Ricky gervais talks fast. I cant understand the guy’s saying
Me: alright, can you check Audio again, then Enhancements, then left-click “Change Accent” then choose “Apply English Accent of Person from Southern India”
F: ok
F: I don’t see it here
Me: crap. You’re running a really obsolete software. Try using another one. Do you have another player like Windows Media Player?
F: where do I find that?
Me: it’s on the shelf, right beside the bottles of illegal drugs
F: what?
