is there any way to get updates for GTA IV on the PS3 without internet on the PS?
Off-hand, I wouldn't think so. Is your ps3 not hooked up online, making you unable to play a game even offline because of updates? When it try's to sign you in press O to go back. My friend does that and it seems to work.
I am able to play offline, but I never had the time to get my net hooked up for my PS3. I was wondering also, do the updates that Rockstar release make graphics better or what do they do exactly?
Every patch that is released fixes several bugs. For an example, refer to this page: http://www.thegtaplace.com/news/25424/grand-theft-auto-iv-and-eflc-pc-patch-7/

Huh, 12? Damn. I didn't really get into that sorta stuff until the last year. Probably even less. Any help on getting started with web development and design? Because I am interested in it. Just not really sure where to get started. Same with coding in general. I really want to get familiar with the stuff.
Yeah haha, my interest started around 11, then I started learning at 12. My brain wasn't developed at the time so I wasn't really learning much besides basic HTML (PHP looked fucking crazy to me), but I can learn at a much faster pace now.
If you're interested in web development, first of all I just started a new site in the format of a book (an incomplete book, which is extremely obvious once you see the site) but I will be posting pretty much every day. You can PM me if you would like the link, I will put it in my signature once I make a few more posts.
I also want to recommend a great author and friend of mine: Jason Gilmore. His writing style is a lot like mine and he knows his shit. I recommend his book Beginning PHP and MySQL, Fourth Edition, it's amazing. Absolutely amazing.
If you want to learn more or anything just PM me. I'm really not at all an expert right now but I'm learning extremely fast and I'm happy to help. As long as you have a passion for doing it, I can probably help you.

My point wasn't to say whatever someone does under their own roof is their business, my point was just this: drugs are bad for you. They unnaturally change the chemicals in your brain.
Anyway -- it relates to this topic somewhat because people just graduating high school are most likely doing drugs.
-
More fun facts, please!
But really, running is a lot healthier than doing drugs, you obviously know that. I'd much rather be addicted to running than be addicted to meth.

Your situation is very similar to mine, Nate10. I'm glad you have woken up earlier than I did. It seems you have, at least.
Yeah I've definitely shook off some illusions but I wouldn't of minded to wake up earlier. Before high school I was blissfully ignorant and like you once anxiety started playing a roll in my life I didn't interact with people anymore. Won't go into the specifics of that right now but things eventually started smoothening out, started dating a chick and ultimately her and my introduction into philosophy and zen made me wake up and calm down.
I did recently start smoking marijuana again, after quitting for 3 years. Part of my anxiety was from smoke in general and I just couldn't smoke anymore but yeah, I'm back to smoking. I drink occasionally, but really only at parties or when I'm with a tight group of friends relaxing. I also am interested in psychedelic drugs and have done a couple but already know I'll only be doing a couple of them a handful of times throughout my life. It's not for everyone for sure and is a serious thing that should be researched and whatnot, but I don't see what I do negatively effecting me or holding me back.
Also, I looked at that Uni's website you linked, looks pretty cool man. How long have you known you want to pursue web design and to go there?
I don't know dude, honestly, drugs are bad lol. Altering the chemicals in your brain like that just cannot be good for your brain. It's really just logical. I mean, especially at our age. Our frontal lobe is exploding, and if it's not already exploding for you it should start soon.
I started wanting to be a web designer/developer since I was 12, then when I was 13 I wanted to be a guitarist in the world's greatest band etc etc etc etc.
But yeah, I mean, I've always fucking loved doing it. It's so fun for me. So, I guess you could say I knew since I was 12 but wasn't definite until now. I love feeling definite about shit . Well, most shit... -

I used to skip school a LOT. In fact, I have probably skipped well over a year all together in high school. When I did go to school, I could not concentrate. I was too concerned with my appearance (not just stuff about being ugly, etc, I mean how I acted) that I just could NOT, by any means, concentrate. I talked to absolutely no one. When someone talked to me I got really fucking nervous and responded in a very stupid fashion.
This particular case happened after a significant event in my life. Anyway, less than a year later and I'm back to normal (whatever that means) and I can function normally again. In fact, I'm functioning better than I ever have. It all really came from self acceptance I believe. Once you get that down, what the fuck can go wrong on your side?
So, my plan after high school is to attend Boston University's Center For Digital Imaging and Arts. I will be taking a dual certification course focused on Web Design and Web Development. I am more than satisfied with the instructors and course material (you can look at the material and instructors backgrounds on their website) and I am extremely excited to start this program to say the least.
My dream is coming true. I have done shit to deserve this, really. All I need is a high school diploma and a year and a half of a certificate program to be making an average of $92,000. That shit is fucking nuts.
I am no longer doing any sort of recreational drugs (marijuana was a big problem for me) to keep my mind clean. I'll probably drink once in a while, but I don't see it being a big issue. My life has really fucking turned around in a short period of time.
I really want to hear more peoples experiences! This shit fascinates me.

It looks like it's just your graphics card having trouble loading everything. Does this happen all of the time?
-
I'd suppose it would be less because of the odds, but honestly I win all the time at the casino's, so I shouldn't really say that. It's really an easy trick and I see it being better than the betting shop trick, but to each their own.
-
Nothing tops the betting shop trick.
Please inform me.

Could you walk me through the process that you are using in order to install the mods? Also, please post the readme here and a link to a mod you are trying to install.
-
Hey Leo,
Any luck getting the mod installed?
-
Hello SixMatic,
Please turn caps lock off. Also, could you please provide specific info on what exact modifications you have installed and the process you went through to install them? What programs did you use, how did you use them, etc etc.
Thanks.

I agree, the gang systems were not done properly. In fact, I don't think I should have ever been a leader/member because of my moderating position, so if the gang system does come back up I will gladly hand over my position to whoever is below me in the gang. Maybe even the staff can have a gang, but just for staff related stuff (could be kind of cool, we'll have to think about this idea. Haven't thought it out enough yet. I'm thinking sort of like a teacher team in a school against students
, obviously we don't think of you guys as students, but I think you'll see my point.) Anyway, we'll have another topic about the gang system soon, as Gerard said.
-
So, what are your plans after you finish schooling? And, if you have graduated high school or college/uni/other schooling, what have you done? Do you think your decision was good, bad, etc? Why?
I'll post mine after a few people post, wanna get a discussion rolling first
. -
It's all good, bro.
I really hope RDR for PC is announced soon as well, along with GTA V, along with Max Payne 3 release date etc etc
. -
Agree with that! Happy new year everybody!

Alternatively, you can click the "Save All Information" button at the bottom of the dxdiag program.
That will save a text file. Just open it up, copy its contents, and paste it here.
That way, we can see exactly what graphics hardware you have.
I didn't even see that or know about, thanks haha.

Hi xRowLo, welcome to the forum
.Could you please follow these steps so I can try and help you further?:
1. Hold the windows key + R down, sort of like if you were doing CTRL + ALT + DEL, but switching it with the windows key and R. This should bring up the Run window.
2. Type in "dxdiag" and hit enter.
3. Select "Yes" if a window pops up.
4. Click "Save All Information". Save the text file somewhere, open it up, and copy the contents of it to http://pastebin.com/ . Send us the link to the Pastebin.
I'll be waiting for your response

one thing that could help is to get staff members that are respectful. i stopped regularly posting here a couple years ago cuz most of the staff are, sorry to say, assholes in situations where its really unnecessary. and it makes me really uncomfortable that i cant post my thoughts without them attacking me...just an idea
You know what, I'm going to completely agree. Mistakes were made in the past, including mistakes made by myself. I can honestly say, though, at this time I think we're all well experienced enough to handle all sorts of situations without getting emotionally involved in them. That is our duty as staff.
You might be wondering if we need a different type of staff than what we have now. My answer would be no. I feel that all of us on the present staff team are experienced enough to handle situations with dignity and respect, in any case. Of course, if someone is blatantly breaking the rules and it seems that this someone is obviously doing it on purpose, then we may be a little more aggressive in our treatment. I feel that this is necessary, though.
I think it's definitely a possibility that the old staff partially caused the inactivity, but I can't say that was the only reason. As I said before, there's no GTA news. This is a huge problem for this website. However, there are plenty of other factors that haven't been discovered yet and we are doing our best in trying to figure out how we can make this site more beneficial for you. This is what this topic is for. So, please, speak your minds. There are no judgements.
In any case, you do not need to feel uncomfortable messaging one of the admins (Gerard) if you feel there is a problem with a moderator or any other type of staff. I can assure you he takes these concerns very seriously and will do his best to resolve it in a peaceful manner. Hopefully, though, this will not need to happen anymore. I'm almost positive it won't.

I haven't played any 2010 games except Black Ops and Red Dead Redemption, but I think if I did I would still consider these my favorites. They're just so epic.

and a toy car (WTF, my aunt thinks I'm 5...) o.o'
Yeah, that's gonna happen. It says on your profile that you're 13, that was such a weird age for gifts for me... I got a Toy Story skateboard from someone. I don't skate, and I wasn't into Toy Story.

Merry Christmas everybody. Hope you guys enjoy your day. I know I am so far

I don't think switching to an outdated version of IPB will help the community be active again. I feel it has a lot to do with Rockstar and GTA V news, seeing as that's what this sites purpose is - to unite fans of the game. Sadly, there isn't that much to talk about regarding GTA at this point in time, nothing new is happening. I suppose starting up the MTA server again and focusing on that more could definitely work, but I've learned that my strong point isn't coding, and in order for the server to succeed we need something that's unlike the rest of the servers, and we don't really have the resources available to code a new game mode. If we did, I could think of a lot of ideas, but implementing them is the problem.
I don't see much more we can really do beyond that, at least if we're making a big change. It's not really our fault - as I said before, it really depends on Rockstar and the news on the next GTA.
I'll shut up now :/.
Can my PC run GTA IV?

Nah man, those won't work with it. I've even tried it on those same specs that you posted as your laptop except with a better GPU and it still won't run at all. It's a really, really powerful game that can't be ran on those and at least be playable. Sorry :/.
