  1. So you know I came up with this idea on the come up of a mushroom trip..... my first mushroom trip. My idea is that the guy speaking at the beginning of the trailer was a banker or wallstreet type and he's done with that life style. Yeah it sounds bizarre I know, but he's always sharp dressed in the trailer, except in the heist scene. Also the shot of him overlooking the city makes me think he owns a rooftop condo or something similar. So what do you guys think?
  2. I mean your drivers. Just because it's new doesn't mean there aren't new drivers available. Check the websites of the products and search drivers. This usually fixes a lot of technical issues. Example: Go to the Nvidia website and search drivers, then install the latest version available.
  3. Well then...... all your drivers up to date?
  4. Your try running as Admin? Maybe try a compatibility mode with windows XP or something.
  5. I'm selling a gaming PC that I built back, some time in July. It's one of the best bangs for the buck in terms of performance and power. Looking to get $625 but I am open to reasonable offers.

  6. Urban, my boy, I knew you'd have something to say man. No body can say it's not a big deal, because it is. I love my local game shops and I wanna keep going to them for my used game needs. That's where I'm speaking from. This will hurt those guys big time. Especially when others follow along. The whole point is, guys and gals, EA ain't hurting for money. Every year, they profit from the previous year, atleast most of the time. How in the fuck does offering online service cost EA? If in some way it does, they've never expressed it and they sure as shit ain't laying people off because of it. They don't need it, they WANT it so they can all get a big, fat ass bonus. When people stop buying their games because of this online pass shit, and EAs (and Ubisofts) profits start to fall, they'll realize that taxing their loyal fans ain't the brightest of ideas. We complain about the price of games, but what do we do about? Not a damn thing. At this rate, us average Johns, Janes, Joes and Jills won't be able to get the latest installment of our favorite game franchises on launch day. From $50 to $60 and now $70, all within the last 5 years or so, respectivley. Do we want to see $80 and $90? (Ofcourse, I'm going by the prices I pay here in Arkansas,USA) HERE IS SOME MORE FOR YOU.
  7. Some times you just gotta take care of business. After a week and I'm ready to explode, but if I get pussy on a Friday night, I'm prolly gonna crank one out on Saturday. A habit I formed in my teen years I guess. Masterbation is more habit forming than cigarettes.... to me anyways. I could smoke a pack every three to four days, my usual rate when I actually do smoke a pack, for a month solid and never smoke again. But when boredom sets in, I fall back on the old four knuckle shuffle.
  8. EA Games is trying to steal your hard earned cash. Need I say more? Just watch the video and you'll understand what the big upset is.
  9. those prices are in aus dollars, with exchange rate it works out around $20 over budget, but parts in usa are usually cheaper to get. try newegg.com , tigerdirect etc. I want to be able to upgrade and expand later on. Will this rig allow it? to an extent. you'll be able to upgrade ram/video card/hard disk/cd drive easy. CPU however probably not. depends if AMD goes with a new architecture for their next processors, then it may not be compatible with the motherboard for obvious reasons. if its the same architecture, it might be compatible with a bios flash, but we dont know that for sure. besides its a good quadcore AMD, generally with games it's not the CPU that is bottlenecked, but more likely the video card. that video card is quite good too, its performance is just below that of the nvidia GTX260, but this card supports DX11. however if you upgrade to some huge video card (like a 5870 or one of the new nVidia) maybe you will want to upgrade the PSU. I DO think I've descided to buy these parts and assemble this rig. I watched some videos on youtube with a guy running a VERY similar setup, and he could play Crysis on full settings at around 23 fps. In the video, there was some lag but he was also running fraps in the background. He claims there is no lag without fraps. In the future, I would like to get another HD5770 and run the two in SLi and ofcourse go up to 8 GB of RAM.
  10. is waiting for Red Dead Redemption!

  12. Especially if your laptop doesn't come with an expansion slot for a graphics card. It's either that you spend more money on a gaming laptop, which costs a fortune, or content your gaming existence in a cage by getting a reasonably powerful desktop. That's what I thought. I called HP and they said I should be able to play whatever I wanted. I thought that sounded wrong. I'm gonna either buy a desktop or build one. Any tips for building one? My budget is about $750. My local shop has one for $800. Thoughts?
  13. Sorry if this should be somewhere else and I'm sure it's been asked before. But, as the title says, I'd like to know if my laptop can play GTA IV. I have an HP Pavillion DV6 and the specs are: OS: Windows 7 (64 bit) CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 @ 2.20GHz Video: Mobile Intel 4 Series Express chipset intergraded (the latest one) Video RAM: 1.4GB RAM: 4GB If there is anything else I need to list let me know. THANKS MUCH!!!!
  14. The color is very Vicy City-esc. It looks, to me, to be from a light green button up shirt like the one Tommy V wore in Vice City. Though his might have been a bit more blue. As for the two years thing, I agree! I've been saying that we'll hear something of GTA V before the end of 2010. I think this kind of backs that up. I just picture Rockstar releasing the full image and it being a guy wearing a green button up shirt, slacks, pulling down his shades with a cigarette in his mouth and palm trees and bikini babes behind him.
  15. Vice City FM, eh? Could this be a hint at the next GTA? Actually it's only in The Ballad of Gay Tony. But since BoGT is in Episodes from Liberty City, well it only makes since.
  16. I think that Chicago would be a great place for the next GTA! It's kind of like New York, which Liberty City was modeled after, obviously. Plus it could give Rockstar the chance to put snow into the game. On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised if they rehashed Vice City or San Andreas. To be honest I'd love to see Vice City brought up to date.Yet on another hand, I don't doubt Rockstar will set it in a new city. If I had to say I want to see something in GTA V, I'd say a full seasonal cycle. I really would love to see snow presented in a realistic way in an open world game. Also, I hate it when developers focus on making game worlds bigger. Not that Rockstar is one of those developers. I'm just saying I really don't give a damn how many square kilometers a game covers. They need to focus on making more fully detailed interiors that can be accessed and explored. I'd like to see that in GTA V.
  17. Funny thing, on a recent Gametrailers TV, Jeronimo Barrera said that GTA IV is over. So no more DLC will happen. On top of that, the fact that MS paid 50 mill for the content and the fact the Chris was told PS3 gets squat makes me call bullshit. So content for the abomination that is PS3 Home, is the most likely, which I still doubt.
  18. WHAT?! Your bat shit crazy man, DLC is great . I don't think the episodic content is going anywhere. Especially after seeing how successful the last two episodes where. I believe firmly that next time it'll only get bigger and better. I think with GTA V, we'll see even more DLC. Except next round will be multi platform. It's apart of the GTA franchise now. It would be like if they took out online multiplayer. It wouldn't make any since because it's a part of what makes the game great.
  19. Here is the thing though. That Star Wars demo is running on Euphoria. Which is the engine that drives the physics in GTA IV. RAGE does everything else. I don't think they'll change that. Hopefully they'll update RAGE to do things like that.
  20. The Carolina, Jupiter and Saturn. All three rock! Look at the Hi, gloss model Saturn with rosewood and sap wood. It gives the guitar an amazing "zebra" look. Sorry for being late on this reply. Here is a video about them:
  21. Aahhhh, should have gotten a Faith. Play one, you'll orgasm. They are sexy, affordable and they come from the UK, so they gotta be good. They are hand crafted...... by polish gnomes I believe. Seriously, everyone of them is hand crafted, and setup in house. They are high quality made from the best woods. Look them up if you've never heard of them. Idk, was just cravin' a better guitar cos you seriously don't wannah know what I was playing haha.. And I had some money leftover from work so I figured it'd be well worth it. Honestly, I love my DX1 but yeah I haven't heard of Faith before. Then again, I don't know many brands. What's one that's affordable/worth buying? For acoustics, there is Faith, Ovation and Dean. As for electrics, ESPs, Deans, Edwards, older Gibsons and PRS.

  23. By the way I play mostly metal and instrumental rock. I love old rock, a lot of stuff really. I dig jazz and wanna play it, but haven't got around to ever learning any.
  24. Oh, I didn't know. I've only bought things off of ebay, never sold things. Shows how much I know.
