  1. 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.

  2. Had a look back through your posts. You seemed to be quite active which is always a plus, especially in times likes these. In all seriousness, GTAF is lowering the quality of itself. If it didn't have too many people who were sucking the royal penis of it then it would start to fail. Thats what we should expect from a community which is happy to ban a quality member for no apparent reason, other than to be a jackass.

    Real late night last night. Didn't get back to about 4am. We ended up watching Mr Deeds, Jackass, Dumb and Dumberer and Shawn of the dead.

  3. I finally got the MacOS system to work. Had to muck about quite a bit getting my network to work but it seems to be running fine now. Just gotta fix up my mouse and a few other things.

    Going out to dinner and movie night with a couple of mates later on. Should be back around 1-2 in the morning I presume.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Hello. I'm pretty new here so I thought I'd drop by and get a general feel for everything here.

    Where abouts does everyone live here? I'm from Melbourne, Australia.

    I swear I've seen you from some other forum.

    Which other forums do you use? I've been on GTAF mostly but I have been to other forums before.

  7. 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.

  8. I like driving a tank while I have 6 stars wanted level and smashing trough the road blocks and bashing the police cars... :evil:

    That is always fun. I used to do that and put the media coverage meter on just to see how much it goes up. Takes a fair while for it to get to national/international news and such. You'd think a crazy person killing a few hundred in a tank along the main road would get instant attention. lol

  9. Thanks for the help guys, i've managed to get through all of flight school now

    Now for the tough part. Getting gold in all of the flight school missions. If you can do it then the reward is the hunter helicopter spawning at the airbase. Although quite difficult it is definitely worth it, not only to get 100% completion but I think its the best vehicle to use when doing vigilante missions.

    So long as you don't kill too many cops or anything then you are virtually untouched by the police (also don't fly over the area 69 "No fly zone") and you can easy kill the suspects. The minigun and rockets are fun to use and you could stay there all day just accumulating money from it.

  10. I used to watch WWE quite a fair bit before I started to use the computer more, as well as working and doing heaps of other stuff. I still occasionally catch a few hours of RAW or SD and sometimes a bit of ECW but no where near what I used to.

  11. I guess we would know in a few weeks or so if it was to be released. Too much later and it might start to clash with some other games they are producing, as well as being well past the initial release date.

    I'm thinking if it hasn't been announced by 1st March, it would be very doubtful it'll ever be released on PS2.

  12. Hello. I've just joined TGTAP so I'm just trying to get a feel for it. I use a few other forums so I know the general etiquette but is there anything specific to this site I should know?

    I must say that this version of IPB is quite nice. A few features that are unnecessary but nice to have.

  13. Might not exactly be about bluetooth but along the same lines.

    One of my brothers friends is really good with computers. He bought his laptop to school and using a small program he had written was able to NETSEND a message across the entire network. This is not able to be done otherwise (as a few people did and they found ways to stop it). The best part was because he was from his laptop using his own program he was able to say that it came from one of the desktop computers in the room (name would be like C15-12).

    One of the computer technicians was there a few minutes later asking who was at this particular computer. The teacher announced that it had been off all lesson, the tech looks confused and left the room. He's also sent messages from 'Administrator' to others telling them to delete their files and such.

    Also, using software from his PDA he was able to make it act as a remote and changed the channel of the TV whilst watching a movie, as well as consistently pausing it and rewinding etc.

  14. Its in the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.

    ***SPOILERS BELOW***

    The main point of the movie was that people conducted an experiment (the experiment being earth) to determine what the ultimate question was, and therefore the answer etc. 42 was seemingly the first thing that came to Arthur Dent's mind when under pressure for an answer.

    Something along those lines I believe.
