My nearby (USA) neighbors are already starting to bother me this evening with fireworks and other un-natural sounds that make it appear they're in my apartment with me! UGH, thing I hate worst about this particular holiday, but one things for sure, We Love to Blow Shite Up!! Oh, and When do the REAL Fireworks begin!??! hahahaha That line's directed at in-game GTA V mayhem, oh, and I will be gettin' back to the business of GTAO VERY soon, still find myself busy enjoying cable and computer projects offline

Your HDD options aren't limited to actual mechanical or Solid State drives? You can also have a CF or Compact Flash vintage memory storage device emulate an ATA drive, in fact, there's a SATA adapter allowing mounting of TWO CF cards of any size where they could combine for the total size you require. Also prices on 128GB flash are VERY affordable now. There is also the option of microSATA adapting PCI Express capable SSD type drives, these mount just like mSATA Wireless cards, and look like them, as do various versions of tuner cards using the mSATA connectors. There are a few companies offering mSATA SSD drives to mount to a standard SATA adapter for laptops and even desktops, one of their great advantages is capability to mount in a notebook or desktop PC. In recent years a lot of these mating capabilities come by way of Chinese made electronic adapters, a logic board and circuit mated to connectors allowing two differing devices to connect where they couldn't before!

Please, as I noted before, don't duplicate spam like postings, even if you're serious. I prefer people for one thing, DON'T post SPOILERS, also, don't post the same thing over and over, you won't find massive member response as you would at GTAForums, it's just that way in the past number of years, so if you prefer fast response, better check in at GTAForums for your answer, bug them with spam all you want, they seem to thrive on it! hahahaha

The famous Assassination that started WW1 happened in history this past Saturday. I was just looking up historic photos which are in somewhat short supply online, even now, but to me a trip to the library is never as far as your computer! It can be a very enlightening experience. Not long ago we celebrated, if you will, 100 years since the infamous Titanic sank and of course, had been looking at James Cameron's personal journey to accurately explore the real legend that inspired his film. History from our own lifetime is something we may have slept through in school, but there's more information coming to light in recent years that add to the learning experience, and it just keeps your attention I feel.. http://rarehistoricalphotos.com/archduke-franz-ferdinand-wife-day-assassinated-gavrilo-princip-28-june-1914/ http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10007427 Another site I just happened upon exploring WWII build up and causes

The point is Next Gen really straddles a line at one point, that time is past for the moment, because as I pointed out, 10 years was Sony's console projection based on the success of PS1 AND PS2, PS3 took a hit straight away upon it's rollout, but it obviously made up ground later on, in the long run, I think Sony's projection realistically is transposed onto Microsoft's strengths upon release of Xbox360 and that basis of users constitutes how Xbox One is judged in reality upon it's rollout success. In simple terms, what we're seeing is shy of 10 years projected console lifespan, that falls more in line to 7 years or so, where we're at presently for the time being. Console games as we've seen with AAA titles coincides with the complexity and quality we want and tend to get on the systems. GTA 2 and half releases in one life span per gen, but we'll see how things pan out later on in the future, but to me it's slowing, quality DEMANDS more time and effort, and that means fewer games in succession We can't say how well the Xbox One might fare had there been no real successful watermark standard for Xbox and Xbox360. I think we all tend to see the success or proliferation of Xbox Kinect and Xbox Live as significant factors. Sony's belief in Home didn't come to the great end it had envisioned, but PSN is still allowing online players their piece of the pie. I tend to think PC's challenge rests along side that of consoles, so I think there's a minor connection although not nearly as evident when we talk next gen tech for PC and that of the consoles, for example; all the electronic evolutionary development feeds basic manufacture of those same components. Trickle Down theory at work, and how ATI and nVidia are really the sole players in GPU development. Remember, kiddies, AMD owns ATI now, but nVidia being an independent player basically accounts for them not concentrating on the consoles this time around, I think though not publicly addressed, this is how things played out this time around.

Prime example of confusion you place blame on my shoulders, when I'm talking about the spamming of GTA related boards, not by you, Good Sir, but what we see evidenced periodically and certainly as of late, again. I can't even trust new members as real ones these days, since they act like Spam Bots! It's massively infuriating

Most of you guys will also remember the actor Eli Wallach from The Good, The Bad, The Ugly I suppose, I assumed he was a Mexican actor without being too heavy into Westerns myself, I am a big fan of Clint Eastwood though. http://news.msn.com/pop-culture/prolific-us-character-actor-eli-wallach-dies-at-98-nyt

Don't post the same stuff in multiple sections, even if it's a different link, cheating is not admirable by my game playing standards. Also, edit a post when you're making it to include all different sources and links. Again, not one thing per post, per section that all can go in one post, it's just spam otherwise

Really, how about all the online posted spams not posted by me? Chris has to manage all that as I do at GTAC, I think GTAChronicles does alright with just my own postings, no one's complained at all about being Off Topic and misplaced under their headings. I'm happy things run that way, it's smooth sailing, and ultimately headache free

Please don't Post blatant spammy adverts for cheating that frankly ruins the game by providing impossibly unfair advantages, old and new players should ALL enjoy GTAO, and cheating should be reserved to SP me thinks, it also should involve penalties, as it did in the past by effecting any saved games, but still allowing sanctioning

My original goal was to try and build a G73 Republic of Gamer laptop for a budget set at $300, I'm not able to do that because of the ATI graphics card originally used, an ATI Radeon HD5870, which fits the original mobo only. I recently bought a HSF, Heatsinkfan unit sans card for my G73J model, which is only lacking the main speakers, keyboard, hinge cover and left side jack boards thus far, though I did manage to kill a battery I bought used during testing, that was $35 down the drain, give or take. Anyway, the minor boards and ribbon cables have cost me less then $10 USD, whereas big plastic parts for the chassis cost nearly $30 on average, and up to $50USD in some cases. The screens being HD ready and 17 inch are really affordable considering, and for around $75 USD one can be had assembled and ready to screw in place with webcam. http://www.pcworld.com/article/194691/asus_G73Jh_A2.html Great Review on this model, many more informative articles on this class Asus exist as well ^ This model is still in existance today encompassing the much beefier nVidia MXM cards for graphics and Haswell processors. They sell for $1000 on the market currently, and the originals as I mention with my budget, about $300 to $400 used. These use first gen Nehalem Intel Core i7 CPUs. 3 or 4 DDR3 Ram slots and two SATA HDD spaces in the chassis along with USB 3.0 added via one port on Sandy and Ivy bridge G73s. My graphics card was the best bargain of the lot, the Sandy / Ivy iteration GTX460m nVidia with heatsink but no fan... Now with the original HSF I recently got at auction from of all places; the Ukraine!! I now have both the newer GPU and older motherboard (mobo) running as one unit. Likely due to the mis-match, it only turns on and doesn't properly shut down again, so the power must be cut off at the source, but all the parts thus far are working, If and when we see GTA V for PC, it will be tested on my new platform and I'll post back results, and of course, GTA IV should work fine on it. With my mobo came the Core i7 at 1.73Ghz per core, but supports HyperThreading and Turbo Boost from what I recall, so for now, good enough until I upgrade to the newer gen looking for Ivy Bridge preferrably

I had another payment for XBL come out of my auto account deductions, such a shame I've been tuned out of GTAOnline and XBL for months now, but part of it is fear over some of my exotics I bought and stored in my garage during the great money laundering cheats of January 2014! hahaha I'm afraid the Rockstar IRS will come a-knockin' but either way, I am paying for use of the online and I should now do all these upgrades enmasse (sp?!) AMC's Pacer was one of the worst cars ever, but they almost,.... ALMOST make it cool, and no, Wayne's World still failed to make them cool! hahaha

Lost another true legend who's VOICE will ALWAYS live on..... http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/radio-legend-casey-kasem-dead-at-82-20140615

Boycott! hahaha Stand up for yourself, NEVER Cow Tow to people who don't know right from wrong, that's what happened in Nazi Germany after all. People were intimidated or just didn't know how to react to the greater wrong. Either way, I stand for what's right, whenever possible. And, I'm also a nice guy, TRUST me! haha Oh, and CC, don't let other people's opinion influence who YOU ARE, it never works out for you ultimately if you try to appease others, know in your heart of hearts to do what's right in your own life, ON OR OFF line, that's key advice. Even though I have 5 or more HDDs for Xbox, more then enough because of RRoD, I did tests with the USB supporting drives and they work good. I use an extension that swivels in addition so things don't stick straight out

I believe anyway, New competition for Intel...getting tapped to supply the key graphic muscle for the new consoles is leading to the new CPUs for mobile devices, in essence, the APU to compete with Core Intel technology and allowing the main 'brain' of the computer to handle some former Southbridge, Northbridge and GPU functions under one hood... The new CPU/APUs reported here in Forbes article actually suggest a change in ATI's own admission about 2 years ago that they would relent their normal chase to compete with Intel who by this article's proof, have continually dominated the computer market for supremecy. I told my folks this while computer shopping this spring, my mom wound up with a Core i3 Ivy Bridge rather then Haswell, but these new CPUs do play into the new tech rollout over the next year, 6 to 12 months expect your current rig to become the next to be obsolete eventually!! http://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/2014/06/06/amds-new-mobile-pc-processors-intended-to-challenge-intels-dominance/

Really? Were you on GTAForums with a different name? I was there for nearly 10 years, but clashed with staff until they banned me, hence my user name here, the staff there make life intolerable, I'm surprised the users don't mount an insurrection, they put up with the strictest rules that make no sense to me. Anyway, try my suggestion and save your game loading content to USB or even a CF card via USB will work to supply external drive space

I'm figuring on any brush ups being time-sensitive, as I pointed out, development overall has slowed to about two MAIN AAA titles per generation, even with expected new console shelf life based on the long running Sony Playstation's status of 10 years, In recent years, when someone from Sony or MS commented on development, they said they'd try and keep a timetable much closer to the competition then the PS3 and Xbox360 worked out, a year apart! It was deemed too long a gestation period, but allowed MS to hype it's first HiDef console, while PS3 brought with it BluRay and HDMI out of the gate. Oh, and to comment opinion about last, current, next gen.... It's too soon to talk Next Gen console for the BIG TWO (Microsoft is MS BTW ...and Sony) beyond what's been released, as Techspot pointed out, so far, less then a year. PS4 and Xbox One are still Next Gen for a while because their life span won't be much shorter then the above modern consoles, even older 16bit systems had a pretty good run.

What an interesting find.... me thinks http://ultimateclassicrock.com/zz-top-new-single-based-on-90s-rap-song/ Heard the song a few times (mainly via the promo video, however, the rap song based off the cover, could be something you'd hear in a GTA game for sure. I think the '99 Seville reference dating the song likely inspired Billy Gibbons to some degree, he's a pure Cadillac fanatic, along with collecting guitars

Hiya I seem to recall a CCRogers from GTAForums, no relation to you? If you are, we know each other from PSN/XBL Been some months since I did the online console thang though. If you bought a limited HDD capacity Xbox, My first step remedy is to use an 8GB or higher USB to store additional things on, I use one myself and so far, smooth sailing, but my Xboxes are all old ones, replaced with slightly newer revisions (HDMI first year models I believe)

For not having Rockstar take part in the normal Industry events, I feel they've gotten a bit swollen headed ego in the kindest sense of the word, as I mentioned reading about their history and the book Jacked, you get that impression repeatedly, now they can rest somewhat on their successes, and in taking their time, they do just that, in one way or another, since we don't know what they're at work on, but Agent was a serious investment in a concept that I feel would most resemble the cable series The Americans, and a cross with James Bond elements, and I feel in replicating a prior era that's not really exploited, taking the project to conclusion can still pay off, since it's not contingent on being current. Same with RDR of course, they're re-inviting us to a historical period in time to step into a time machine in effect, and Much more so then the 80s of Vice City, or GTA III 90s. The thing that bothers me most is so much concentration on GTA Online, while it's admiral for pioneering new ideas for Online, Perhaps in my mind, the idea that David Jones had for MMO GTA by way of All Points Bulletin is still not what we see with GTAO, but it's a worthy push of the yard stick in gaming forward, I just see their LC map getting too clogged up with various activity icons those official and those set up by user created content. I think taking Online further might just require some new maps, which can be a whole 'nother can of worms in regard to problems that entails. However, it also gives entirely new life to that prospect of similar gaming. Oh, and Someone did a HORRID job translating or TRYING to speak English with this online find; http://n4g.com/news/1512280/rumor-are-rockstar-games-about-to-release-red-dead-redemption-2 BUT, if rumor had some weight now, I suspect he's saying there's a possible admittance that Red Dead or Redemption 2 'working title' might come to also be released at the end of the year, and even a blurb about a PC release! Man, won't that beat all!!??

There was a lot of MAJOR MAJOR groundwork done to make GTA V, as such it's only a finale and entrance or gateway product for new and old consoles. I hasten to add a local TV news segment touched on a new console coming to market, but I only heard them compare Nintendo and Sony and the Wii U mentioned, there's no news there at all, and even one could argue, not factual either. Microsoft and Sony are deep in competition with Xbox and Playstation, Nintendo's demographic doesn't really impede either of those

I'll be getting back into online GTA and RDR gaming forthwith. I had yet another automatic XBL payment for the month come out of my Paypal and I'm not even using the dang thing! Anyone up for some MP poker in RDR?!? hahaha I'll report on how I'm finding the updates and fixes at least par my own experiences.. Once I put some hours back in. Sorry for a bit OffTopic on this considering it's dated by now. The focus on portable gaming is somewhat admirable but flawed in that the PSVita gets very little love these days, it should be outperforming the PSP but that product brought with it a lot of Gee Whiz excitement factor, not to mention two great GTA titles! I would love if somewhat subtitled the RDR Mexican dialog in whole, somewhere transcripted
