Bsod - Sunday 2/18/07

[FilamentTheBright]

Do you suppose the higher ups at VMK have discovered Religion and therefore shut VMK down on Sunday's to explore they new interests??

Come on Bearz. We're talking Corporate Executives here. They think they are God.

Oh Oh I have a screen
Im watching the VMK logo and the little blue line is moving
Oh My Gosh! the next screen... 45% it stops... wait wait
It counts to 103% I HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEM! only 103%.
ONLY 103%.
What happened to 110% isnt that the standard 110%.

Wait the screen is dark but maybe it will keep going
Im holding my breath............Need Air......Need Air...

[DaraAllen]

Does anyone else gnash their teeth at the "Connection is disconnected" message?

If it's disconnected, how is it a connection?

Talk about Department of Redundancy Department!

Or maybe it's more of a "No Duh, Sherlock!"

 

[ChipNDale]

Sorry its a Bring your Own type of thing! LOL

B..S..O..D.., B..S..O..D..,B..S..O..D..,and BSOD was its Name O.
Their once was a player in VMK, his name was BSOD.

[Pirate-Emery]

I need me one of those Mint Julip drinks Pirate Emery

Which totally reminds me that I have to go make another batch of syrup...

Here is the awesome recipe I am using:

Step 1: Go out to BevMo or some other liqueur place (don't worry, you're buying non-alcoholic stuff). Ask for Torani brand "Italian Soda syrup" flavored Creme DeMenthe. Make sure it is non-alcoholic!

Step 2: Go out and grab Natural Lime juice (usually found with the "cooking" supplies of your local market) and grab Frozen Lemonade mix (found in the Frozen Juice section of the Freezer department).

Step 3: Go and throw the Frozen Lemonade mix in a medium-sized bowl when you get home, and let it thaw until it is liquid.

Step 4: Follow this recipe and measure out the materials accordingly:
1 cup Sugar
3 tsp. Lime Juice Concentrate
3 cups Soda Water
6 tbsp. Creme DeMenthe (hard to find, but this is important)
6 oz. thawed Lemonade Concentrate

Step 5: When you have the Lemonade, Lime, Soda Water, and Sugar, all measured out, put them in a pot and boil.

Step 6: Put it off the flame when it is boiling and allow it some time to cool down.

Step 7: Throw in the Creme DeMenthe syrup: your liquid shall now become a minty green color (as seen on the VMK pins).

Step 8: put the Mint Julep syrup in the freezer, and give it twenty minutes or so. You want it to cool down, but not to freeze.

Step 9: Put the syrup in a large tupperware bottle, and pour enough syrup into your drink, so that the liquid reaches nearly the halfway point in the cup.

Step 10: At this point, you put in Diet Sprite for a little extra bubbly+Limon flavor. Fill up the rest of your glass with Diet Sprite, and enjoy your Mint Julep.

yes it goes to 103% and then gives your were closed and will be open from 7am to 10pm and we are trying to connect during an open time.

VMK!!! LISTEN UP YOUR O>>P>>E>>N!!!! That means NO BSOD!!! OK!!!

 

[Resident_Pixie]

This BSOD Sunday ritual is making me neurotic!

"Should I go take a shower?"
"What if it comes back up as soon as I leave?"
"What if it goes back down before I can finish quest?"
"Should I answer the phone, or will I miss something?"
"I'm sorry I need to do that on Saturday, I might miss the 20 minutes the VMK quest is open on Sunday"
"Shower???"


You guys will yell out to me when it comes back on so I can leap out of the shower, shampoo still in my hair and running down my face to complete the quest - right?

 

[DayDoe]

you forgot to finish your drink with then sit and yell at the computer since VMK will not come up

 

[DayDoe]

i am in the same boat it is now 11:25 and i am still in my night clothes afraid to go take a shower so that i can then go wash clothes that i have not done all week due to being on vmk LOL

Great recipe!!! I wonder if Amazon.com Sells all of those ingredients! That would be neat! Why Diet Sprite can we use normal Sprite or 7-up or Siera-Mist? BTW how good is it and should it be served with any fruit or toping?

We have a DIS Cooking Show going on while we wait for VMK to Un BSOD it self today!!!

You know as I sit here and read our lovely thread here, drinking my 3rd cup of coffee (and thinking about making it an irish coffee, mexican coffee.. heck any coffee with that little something extra ) I wonder...

Why is VMK the only online game I play that ever gives me the BSOD, White Box of Death, FSOD, the ever popular " Vmk Is open from 10am-1am ", "No connection available", etc etc etc????

I know VMK is free game, but come on already. I play other free online games and never have this much trouble. If I didn't love vmk so much I don't know if I would put up with this.

Sorry just had to get that out.

 

[Panda]

I did not mean that the screen ever goes over 103%. I just thought that was the problem maybe it should !!! 110% would probable correct the problem.


I could use your Mint Julep also. Sounds wonderful.

 

[DaraAllen]

pirate-emery, I am with you on the mint julep, except I'm going for the full-strength version! Hey, it's after noon here!

 

[Mnementh]

Okay, I'm done. I give up. Heading home.

Thanks everyone for keeping me entertained rather than frustrated

 

[DayDoe]

i enter my information
it loads 57% and i wait
it loads 101% and goes black
what i seen the map.. i think i am in finally
I go to thank the VMK gods but wait what is that I see
VMK has crashed and you will need to enter again
arg!!!!

 

[hdmonkeybug]

I almost just got in!! I saw the map for a brief second before I got the vmk crashed sign

WOW its hard to think that a Free Disney Game would want to drive so many people to Drink, But for most of us it is the afternoon or will be soon! But still i understand your problem with so many other free games why oh why is vmk the one that has to have so many Problems in connection. ITs the game i enjoy the most and play most often, its fun, it has mini-games, items, specials, friends, events. VMK brings me to the Magic every time i get in to play and sine i can not spend every day or weekend in the real park vmk is as close and i can get untill i can save enough to go again(Free,Dining this Fall could make that happen). Please VMK stop use from driving us on a Raceing day to Drink and fix the bsod and let us play. PLEASE!!!!

If it's disconnected, how is it a connection?

Or maybe it's more of a "No Duh, Sherlock!"

YAY! I'm not the only one who will need to see a dentist due to over gnashing of teeth! Thanks VMK for making me have to go see the dentist!

I've thought the exact same thing.. if I'm not connected.... how can you tell me that I'm not connected without me being connected to you so you could tell me I'm not connected.


And Pirate-Emery the recipe sounds great. I will definitely give it a try soon. Thanks for putting it up.
