  1. I saw the Ricky Garvais version original on my PSN, since the BluRay on my used system wasn't working, I could only use PSN content for the time being, and of course, you have Hulu and some other new online sources, like Netflix One of the better cast replacements in history, perhaps, The original version just can't compare, but Ricky's still credited with work on both.
  2. I wondered about an MJ thread here, and as I said, didn't give my respects to Gary, you got a prob?? I'm serious about my Sitcoms. Back when I used to watch them
  3. Lucky me, I have a Microcenter ACTUAL store not far from where I was residing. I did have to move with no job prospects though. They have tons of goodies and a discount section for closeouts. They once offered a HDD cloning hardware device, but it was not cheap, and most are not, you will pay about $100 for a quality CLONE, and remember, OS makers frown on such things as exact clones, there's Copyrighted, one ware per purchase they demand to make their profits, which is why these are not a dime a dozen, the intent is more for very serious replication. Quote: There were a few BSODs in its time but the major problem for me was that it would also stop loading when it was starting Windows. What I did was either wait a while for it to slowly startup or to just reboot it (and see if it'll load Windows any better the next time). Eventually though, the problem got out of hand ==================------------------------------=====================----------------------- My research and ownership of the K23/K25 experience proved there WAS a Class Action against Sony based on poorly built laptops, and mine required I replace the motherboard for the Vaio off eBay, it over-heated and fried the mobo, the symptom was random shut offs, my IT connection said each system branch will be damaged each time overheat causes a shutdown, eventually, no more power at all! I got a mobo on eBay at a good cost though, not so lucky getting the MS reader working on it, bought a replacement, it never worked, and the palmrest touchpad stopped working as well, Windows is partitioned and I hate partitioning myself. It's 32bit XP Pro IIRC, not working any slower then would be expected from an old HDD with loaded ... Well, it was seemingly slower then the norm. I deleted a lot because it had a full Office Suite 2003 and worthy of not reformatting as such. I picked that system up used. If you are running maintenance on the HDD formatting, use some better aftermarket tools, the Windows ones don't always work best, try CCleaner for example ("Crap Cleaner") I'd also advise a laptop FAN BASE that runs off USB, let your Vaio sit on that cooling pad for any extended use, I even use that pad (TARGUS) for my Xbox to avoid threat of RROD!
  4. I beat all you guys to the gaming table, I was born in 1966, I lived the whole revolution in TECHNOLOGY, my first video game was a home Magnavox Odyssey since that system bowed in 1972, the first home game of it's type. Mine was the II version I think, Odyssey 2000. Circa 1977, I even played SIMON when that was hot, and then the Mattel hand held football, hockey was a fav. Coleco Gemini and small coin op battery operated Ms. Pacman. In 1978, APPLE...education and Games, all on the Two Steve's Insanely Great invention....Pre-Macintosh
  5. Could be someone was pulling your leg, I heard about such things involving the OGA, and if you've been around, you know some OGA! hahaha

    GTA 5?

    No, It's DeepThoat misleading most speculations with Genesis, I am referring to rumor of Vice City, or Rockstar game staff observed in the West USA, and that the idea Liberty City is spent, GTA 5 won't be about that, but the backlash over lack of planes will result in their return. Of all speculation, I do believe the time spent and waiting means they are making a massive GTA. Others think it translates to waiting for new hardware, if they happen to have any kits we don't know about and have to retool RAGE for them??

    GTA 5?

    Someone I know says GTA V would include some locales one can fly to... Well, Vice City fans could be appeased, as could Los Santos and San Fierro fans, with a GTA that will bridge much more then we've seen before, it can only get bigger, to offer a change that fans are in reality, pining for
  8. It could be faked, and perhaps, sure, is?!? I don't read too much into anything, but I would say that GTA SA is a long way off from GTA IV and RDR quality from the Aaron Garbut team of graphics for the game, but the cars and the scene overall doesn't strike me as something that's off the GTA quality scale, I think we can expect something not quite as good as the Rockstar San Diego team has done, which is a different staff of game designers, GTA IV flaws show up in HiDef. Anyway, My suspicion is that the V for GTA V will be as styled before, using the same typeset
  9. Michael Jackson remembered, as well, Steve Jobs legacy

  11. I was gone, but let me say, I miss him already. Governor of Cali, Gary Coleman!! Sorry I am bumping this, but we do keep losing great people, Is there a respects thread for Michael Jackson here too? I've been watching the MJ Death Trial and it's astonishing, As was the story of Child stars involving this show alone... Diff'rent Strokes, that I grew up watching and it didn't effect me in a negative way
  12. I use as many Windows as I came across, I use my OEM Windows ME restore from my eMachine PC for any quick wipe to an OS platform I can install on just about any PC with older driver compatibility. As for Windows 7, I did opt to buy one copy, installed on an i3 system, all I could afford was just over $100. I did replace my XP SP2 with a new disc for $150 at the time. No sales on Windows OS! Bill Gates, who luves ya babe?!? Anyway, ME works fine if you got it on your computer newly installed, not an upgrade! rarely if ever got BSOD on my machine. I use Windows 98 and some of Win95., but not anymore, I opted USB and DVD support covered under Win 9x 98, Second Edition is best for older machines. I use Vista Ultimate and Vista Home Premium, those being 32bit, the Win7 I bought is Premium 64 bit however, and I want a 32 bit for some compatibility, but for better RAM management, you'd be better served with 64bit OS
  13. Because of it's Luke Filewalker scanner, many people just took to using Avira, freebie. As well, some time spent with AVG, AntiVirusGrisoft basically, and I started with paid service from Norton 2006 IIRC, and that was nixed. I used McAfee offered with AOL and as well, now mostly Defender and Essentials from Microsoft, on top of that, PREVX offers it's CSI for free added insurance, but it scans often and demands you be online to update it's database
  14. I get a kick outta Retrofitting and on top of that, my PC building became something of a habit I find hard to break, and aspects driven by cost as well, getting just the HIGH END components I need and retrofitting, or after collecting software as I did even in the days of APPLE II, I put upgrades on machines that others thought to put out to pasture. The idea in this thread is show off some project PCs you've built, ideas you can give, and tips as well. What legacy components you still feel reserve a spot on a custom rig, or how to improve an OEM store bought PC, for example. One of mine is based off my first PC, and my third PC, which I still own. Looking even on YouTube, not much found documenting them, so I decided to highlight various things on the Web. Show how you wire your PC, or a liquid Cooling and fan setup could be right for this topic Compaq Presario SR1220NX and eMachine's eTower 700 were my first and subsequently updated, the extent of PCI slots for example, and single core, old slots for Pentium 3 and 4 Emachine Retro fans take heart, for one example of PC nirvana! http://www.e4allupgraders.info/dir1/motherboards/socket370/anaheim3_end_users.shtml
  15. I'm just offering some speculation that PSVita will serve to support several GTA games, and if a section would be devoted to it, and perhaps, what idea one might have for the franchise offered on it? I believe they will try to have one prepped as close to launch as they can, and with for sure, UNCHARTED on it, one must be a lil excited for it
  16. A phone alone won't work, I hope to get enough funds to get the PSP2, aka PSVita As far as what my folks would get me for a phone, I'd hoped something NEW enough to cover the new apps, etc. But it's unlikely
  17. How about a thread where you tell other members the significance of your profile Avatar and associated sayings, perhaps, To learn a bit more about you, if you're so inclined. I'm a Hetero male, though not outgoing, I still love hot ladies so my avatar is one such, I used full size as a Wallpaper and it so happened to resize well as needed to AVATAR it and stay within respectable levels of decency! haha As for sayings, one of my most favorited was narrowing down the two greatest inventions, Electric Guitar, and the Wheel, however, perhaps the Internet and electronics somehow follow that list up?
  18. I got a cable MUSIC GENRE channel on, the 1970s !! You can't help but enjoy that really, many masterful moments happened in the 1970s They're playing EASY, like Sunday Morning. Lionel Richie and the Commodores
  19. Girish has an issue with me on GTAForums, I got a ban because I suggested someone post something I had had in mind, had I not been banned, all that person did was report it, rather then just drop the suggestion, and no one would be the wiser, It was enough to get perma-banned. However, Girish isn't the worst mod, I have great issue with Andrew as Admin and he's loving handing out warning left and right. The new WADDY! hahaha Regardless of that drama, I see you have Raindancer at your site, I've said nothing but good things about him. Keeping on topic, How many pics were you showing, just one with cop cars and others with a known logo typeset design? Also, on the first "V" what seems to be written below the V?
  20. Housers don't bitch?!?! Dan writes it, Sam.... What does he do in the game development?? haha He's commented on aspects of GTA IV in depth for EDGE magazine. As I see it, being a new outing GTA on next Gen., that being Xbox 360 and PS 3, it stands to reason most people think that means three GTAs will be offered before a new Gen of consoles, and that Euphoria and RAGE will be employed and evolved as it was for RDR, so it's looking very reasonable to expect something similar, but that's also still speculation based on past evolution hints of how the game series / franchise evolved to this point in time
  21. I can't do that, I am partners in our own GTA fan site, most people know it as simply GTAC, and we're also partnered on Twitter and YouTube. We're about a year old now, spurred on by all this BANNED member business, it's just wrong. Banning people who just so happen to love Grand Theft Auto because you disagree with them? If they keep at violations with merit, then sure, they deserve scorn, but I'm hardly that person and I got a ban hammer as well. As for the Genesis I speak of, it originated from GTAnet's forum, and that is about the biggest online forum, so you have to find a way to suck up your pride over there. Appreciate how Chris runs things here and it's nice, loose, casual
  22. I am just an old, tired GTA fan who would like to see this game break on some source we're all keeping something of an eye on, however, I propose the idea that GTA will bow on a printed Magazine catering to gaming. SINCE the Internet news travels too fast, and it corrupts in a sense, whereas if it's shown and reported in a magazine, not much can be disputed from a print edition story! Unless they have nothing concrete in reporting. As far as what you posted? I saw you breaking some new info, proposed as new anyway! haha
  23. You shouldn't give too much credit to GTAForums because they have a veracious (sp?) ego, and everything just feeds into that. It's like a black hole in Internet Cyberspace, and I won't disclose my name there, since there are spies and some of them hound me as well... Genesis is the most notable topic in GTAF's 5 Section, all topics in there are speculation other then DeepThroat, speculated by the other users, however, since he never posts consistently, that there's something to his vexing image for this titled topic, Combines RDR scene in the Northern map, as found, just East of John Marston's farm, and facing South, with an inset image of GTA IV using a shot from the first mission escorting Bernie Crane The image from the OP

    GTA 5?

    Remember, I keep saying this because I was glued to the GTA 5 section since August, nothing came along other then denial from Take2 and Rockstar Games. however, we're all pretty sure GTA will be dropped by Winter next year, not take one more full year to complete, but the elements SHOULD be in place, let's face it. RDR was one of the best video games EVER MADE in the complete history of 30 year gaming
  25. Houser says they don't have plans for another Country outside of the USA, they love our Country, I'm biased since I live here, in the Midwest and I also love our Country, that said, at some point, as Houser said when asked, they'd explore some more options. Keep in mind, These guys make games they like to play, and to stop doing that, to end GTA for good?!?! That is sheer lunacy to suggest, I won't ever believe that unless both Housers have gone on record saying GTA is kaput
