Okay, this story is just... unusual. I used to trust the un-named website, but I don't. The website will remain un-named because mystery and plot'.

One day, I was trying to get an .ISO file for a game, Super Mario Brothers Wii. I liked that power up where you become a propeller. So, I, downloaded it from a sketchy website that I used for 4 other .ISOs, so I could put them in a Dolphin emulator. But, it was super slow, and the download for Super Mario Bros. Wii was taking very slow.

It was around half an hour later when the download finished. I thought to myself "Well, that took long". It was in a folder, called "GAME #182", separated into another folder. When I clicked that folder, there were two. One was called "NSMBW", and the other... was called "MISC". At first, I ignored the MISC folder, and put my ISO into Dolphin. I played World 1-1 to World 1-5 until I finally closed Dolphin emulator. But, the folder which contained NSMBW and the MISC folder was still open, and my curiosity started to wonder. It was urging me to open the MISC folder, and it kept urging me to do it. It finally got the urge of me, and opened it.

Inside, there was two items. One of them was a Windows 7 ISO. I run VMs, so I actually found use out of it. The other one... was WhoDidThis.exe. The icon looked... very peculiar. It was a humanoid fire, horribly drawn, with arms and legs and eyes. Huh. In this show called BFDI, there is a humanoid fire as a character, but it's drawn better.

What about that Windows 7 ISO? Oh, yeah. I actually made a VM (a virtual machine, used to emulate other OSs in an OS without another computer) and messed around with it for a while. I found it very cool.

Anyways, my curiosity struck once again. It wanted me to open WhoDidThis.exe. Meanwhile, my anxiety tried to stop that feeling. What if it was a virus meant to lure my curiosity? What of it would start deleting my files? But my curiosity took over, and I had to open it...

and so I did.

When the file opened... what? It was a game, and it was a platformer... but it was horribly built... the character was a ball and the land looked like scribbles... In fact, EVERYTHING LOOKED LIKE SCRIBBLES! The clouds looked like marshmallow factory scraps, the ball looked like crap compressed into a ball... I can not really describe how horrible it looked!

Then there was the lag... it was laggy to all hell! It looked like I was running Skyrim on Windows 98, with 8 bytes of RAM! After a few minutes of trying to play the game in this state, I said "You know what? Screw this.", and closed it. After that, I just went to watch YouTube videos.

But, the PC was still laggy. After I watched the first YouTube video, the computer froze. I immeadeatly knew something was wrong and tried to Ctrl+Shift+Esc to bring up task manager. When it was brought up, Task Manager stopped responding. OH NO. Then, for some reason, the speakers started speaking Morse Code. I can translate it, and it said "roop de poop, you cannot make me stoop"... yeah what.

Then, the computer FINALLY crashed and restarted. I tried booting into Safe Mode to see if the PC wouldn't crash. Bassically, Safe Mode is the mode where if your computer is crashing or your PC files are missing (e.g some files of System32) you can run without it doing that. So, I started up in safe mode... and it crashed. After multiple tries, I was FINALLY able to get in, after many, MANY tries.

But then... the screen went off... I did not know what was happening, so I tried waking up my computer, with no success. I tried mashing on the keyboard, that didn't work. I was just about to turn the computer off... when I smelt smoke from my computer. Oh no. I immeadeatly panicked as I could see the fire from the CPU, spreading to other pc components. The GPU, RAM, and Graphics card soon were on fire.

Then, my PC started to seem like it was expanding... and I immeadeatly recognized it, and started to run. I knew what was happening next. I could tell you what happened next, but I was in the other room waiting for this to blow over. After a minute sitting at the couch... BOOM! With that, my computer had just exploded.

I made my way to my room to see the damage. There was a black outline on my desk from when the computer exploded, and my bed's matress, pillows, and blankets was lifted from my bed and onto my wall. Everything on my desk fell over, and my window shattered, leaving a pillow outside just on the grass. Not much damage... I couldn't go into my room because the shrapnal could cut my foot.

I proceeded to clean it up. I would tell you not to go on that website, but it has since shut down, and has been taken by the FBI, due to some of their ISOs containing viruses. Good riddance. I have not used Dolphin to this day.

Moral of the story... no. No moral. A virus is less worse than this. At least this story's fake. I also sued the website owners for 50,000$, because why not?
