Why I love the internet

Wow. I love the internet. No, not for its flashy images and cool desktop wallpapers in way higher resolutions than you need it to be (5600x3420.. wow). No, not for its hilarious humor or strange games. For the tech help. I was playing silent hill 2, and about an hour in I got the flashlight. Only problem is that when I turn it on, everything goes black except for my character. I spent weeks working on this, going through tons of drivers, reinstalling the game 10 times, running in compatibility, running with absolutely no effects on (420x240 anyone?). I was frustrated, tired, and angry. Then, I searched on google for "Silent Hill 2 flashlight error"
and I got http://www.gamespot.com/pc/adventure/silenthill2/show_msgs.php?topic_id=m-1-41925427&pid=561577
I figured it was useless, skimming through the thread. Then I read what I had to do. I had to open up a .fix file in notepad, add some lines to the device I owned, and bam. Fixed.

Thank you internet, thank you.
Oh and I also love internet for its porn.

I lol'd. You know, its always some extremely easy thing like adding a few lines to a config file that solves the most confusing problems.
