  1. Yeah, I'll have to see which PC I will put it on. Although my laptop might run it I'm not sure how good it will run. It says its Vista Capable but it might still be a bit slow. I just finished the other modules which means I should also get a copy of Office 2007 and Windows Live OneCare with it.
  2. It might be some sort of glitch. Since thats still pretty early in the game isn't it, it could be an idea to restart the game again. Unless you have done something like collecting packages its not really a huge loss.
  3. Well I just completed a course about it. Since I work at Target employees that are likely to sell or have to know about it can do this course about it (so Microsoft get people good selling them) and we get sent a free copy of Vista Home Premium. I just have to confirm my details over the next 2 weeks and it'll hopefully be sent to me shortly after that. Might have it by March.
  4. Does it work like the kart? Basically just changed the way it looks. Pretty funny to see someone driving around with one of them.
  5. I think they would only shoot a short (1-2 second) burst. Enough to just basically knock the wind out of the guy. If you were feeling on fire you'd probably stop fighting so it would probably only be to make them surrender or stop attacking etc. From that range though could be nasty. Whats the kind of implications of being able to attack from a point which they can't see and have no idea whats happening.
  6. Welcome edieviva. Just stay calm. It seems pretty relaxed here, so don't be a jerk and you won't have problems.
  7. If the release dates were somewhat close then it may have been a possibility but theres no way they would remake it for PS3. It wouldn't have a big enough market to warrant the time and effort. It'd be nice to see what its like but not really worth it for Rockstar.

    To-Do-List

    I might try and knock some of this stuff down if I ever get any time, and if Jared hasn't done it all by then.
  9. They would need to test that there is not long term effects. They say that a 2 second beam is able to make them pull away reflexly, what would happen if someone held it there for say 10 seconds. What kind of affects would there be? Either way it seems to be a good method of non-violent resolution, if it works.
  10. Unfortunately no, but we could think of some positives. The extra money they earn from those massive advertising techniques could mean that they are able to do a lot more. More research and design, better models etc. Means that it would lead to an improved game. Also, since they don't need to make as much for a profit they might be able to reduce the prices of the game to make it cheaper to the consumer, giving it greater marketability which means that companies would highly value the advertising as its a bigger market.
  11. Its not hard to believe that she let something slip when she didn't want to, but its a bit fishy when the cameras are rolling for no apparent reason and that the outcome is like that. The 2nd girl (closest to her) seemed to want to get out but not in a hurry like she would have been. Its just that something isn't right there.
  12. I'm guessing you installed a mod or tried to edit the game somehow. Uninstall and re-install it. If that doesn't fix it then maybe try a different computer (if its the PC version). If its not a PC version and it actually something like a PS2 copy then you may have real problems. Check that the disk isn't majorly screwed.
  13. I use FF. Mostly because of all the advantages like the safe issues but also started using it when IE didn't support all the features like tabbed browsing and transparent png files. Also, I used a copy thats made for a Mac so its especially nice since the buttons are shaped way cooler then the XP version.
  14. I've seen quite a few horror movies but have never really been freaked out by any of them. One of the worst moments though was when watching the ring. Just after they were playing the video (keep it mind we had all the lights off and it was quite dark), the phone rang. My brother and I looked at each other, then a few seconds later burst out with laughter.
  15. I'll say maybe around June if they are releasing it in October. It will probably be around 2 months beforehand. Maybe a bit earlier.
  16. Wouldn't it be easy enough to set the member ID as 'fake' account. Make one which huge amounts of money (if possible cant be robbed etc) and tell it to use that. Im not sure if you can make 'private' members which no one can see but maybe even tell everyone that robbing (or attempting) is a bannable offence. Then you could check the logs every now and then just to make sure no one has tried to. You seem to know your stuff so I'll let you handle it however.
  17. From a consumer point of view its going too far, but from a corporate point of view its like the new horizon. Even if most people hate the idea it doesn't matter. Most people hate having ads on TV or radio, but they are still there because even if you hate it, it is getting the company name out there and it works. If Rockstar were to make a few bucks and sell advertising then it would be one of the larger sums ever heard of. Because this isn't temporary like a TV or Radio ad, but permanent. They will always have that advertising.
  18. If either is faster I would assume it would be the Hotring Racer. Since thats used for a race and the Bloodring Banger is used for a destruction derby. It would make sense if that was the case. Either way you'd have the check the files to find out though.
  19. I used to always listen to Radio Los Santos, but after a while it got boring so I listened to K Rock and some of the talkback shows a bit. Its quite amusing some of the stories they tell. Either way on PC the best is always mp3 Player.
  20. Doesn't surprise me. People have been advertising that you could 'buy' their space for a while. I saw someone on ebay once advertising for the tag in Counter-Strike can be replaced by your company logo and he would be on for a certain amount of time each day and spray as much as he can. That goes too far but I wouldn't doubt that we'll see ads for real products in billboards on games.
  21. That was pretty awesome. I did a few things like that but nothing ever that insane. Everytime I'd try to go through tunnels or under some of those buildings I'd crash and it was goodbye life.
  22. Is it just me or does that look a bit set up? What were they filming anyway?
  23. There were a few that took me a little while and a couple attempts but the only one which really gave me any problems was the Driver with hilary, or maybe even one of the Haitians missions where you grab a sniper rifle and shoot people from the top of the room. I wasn't able to control the rifle easily enough to pick them all off in time. That one took me about 7-8 goes to complete.
  24. I don't think that the actual 'odds' of each horse really applies. For example, a house with odds of 4:1 with have the same chance of winning as the 13:1 odd horse. It always seems that the winner is random without any weighting given concern to the outcome. In which case you should usually bet the horse with the highest odds. Since they all have the same chance of winning, this horse will give you a higher amount of money for winning. Theres a cheat method that you use where you save your game nearby, go to the betting shop and bet a large amount (basically all) your money on the highest odd horse. If you lose, restart the game where you last saved and try again. If you win, then enjoy the spoils.
  25. I use the PS2 version and I don't think it sucks. I've played it with a PSP and I too would have to say that controlling vehicles is a lot easier, as well as not having to quint to see the tiny screen. Framerate is also pretty good.
