    I still think that you look like Doctor Who in that picture.

    Me after climbing a mountain which is about 4000 metres high in India. Had to practically crawl on my own in the snow to reach the peak. Did that for my Duke of Edinburgh Silver award.

    Doctor Who and his sidekick(?) :P

    Anyway, I'll have to do that Duke of Edinburgh award thing in about a year. My history teacher leads it in my school and tells me all about it and what it's like. I think we'd have to climb Ben Nevis or go hillwalking around Central Scotland... sounds fun.

  2. Lol in that last pic you look like eminem, and I'd tap that girl in the second pic.

    That's my sister, she's 13 years old :P

    Your dog is so awesome.

    Yeah, she's very ill though. She has fits every months or so (falls on the floor, kicks her legs around and starts biting people but recovers in an hour or so) She's great all the time though.

    One of my very best photos from this year.I may have posted it before in the FFM private forum but not in here. I may have another photo after my hair has been cut.

    that was me 2 weeks ago at school

    You look a little bit startled it that :P

  4. My favourite cars are the following:

    Four Door: Feroci

    Two Door: Sentinel

    Sports Car: Infernus; Comet

    Since I posted that it has changed, it's been 4 months since I posted that so obviously my view will have changed.

    Four door: Oracle (Usually in black or blue) and Sultan (Usually in white or red)

    4x4: Huntley Sport (Usually in black or grey) and Landstalker (black or red)

    Two door: Sentinel (I love black and grey sentinels)

    Sports car: Turismo (Yellow or red), Comet (Yellow or Silver) and Super GT (I much prefer this over the other sports cars; in dark grey and dark red)

    Industrial: Boxville (It's always been my favourite industrial vehicle and always will)

    Emergency: FIB Buffalo (Speedy but is very rare)

    Favourite vehicles that aren't cars:

    Boat: Squallo

    Helicopter: Maverick

    Motorbike: NRG-900

    In General, my most favourite vehicle is the Super GT but my least favourite vehicle is the Uranus - it looks far too old fashioned for me and it looks almost the same from San Andreas.

  5. I much prefer the Comet in both performance and looks but it isn't my favourite sports car - not Turismo either. Comet's seem to suit a lot more colours than the Infernus, I really think the Infernus really only suits red and orange but the Comet seems to suit yellow, red, silver and a whole rainbow of colours. But the Infernus is fast, I can't say it's not but in my opinion it's an ugly car.

    Super GT is great though, it's also very rare.

  6. Even though the elite group would be replaced with this idea, could it still be possible to have a somewhat smaller alternative to the current group with a completely different name and more active members. Obviously the importance of an alternative elite group would be limited but it would be smaller and possibly more respected.

    Look at the current elite group for example:

    • Hardly any members come on everyday or at least once a week.
    • Because of the above, it isn't really known by the newer members and has faded away.
    • The last members to be added to the group were in 2007 - albeit soon after I joined.
    • The only member of the group who seems to come on is Bear.

    This makes me think that the elite group should be restarted and not fully replaced by the experts system. The experts only specialise in a certain topic and anyone can become one but can anyone become an elite? All I think the elite group needs is a revised list of members - some of whom deserved to be elites but haven't been on for months or years.

  7. Generally it would be quite expensive and time consuming to make your own GTA Game. Obviously if you do make a game similar to GTA then you would have to start it from scratch due to copyright laws in the USA. But the time consumption and effort would probably pay off if you do decide to do it. If you do it yourself then it won't cost quite as much as it would with other people - you would have to think of a script, model all the vehicles etc.

    You would have to have some basic knowledge in any modeling program, I have knowledge in Inventor - where I made a Microwave with ease and viewed it in simulation. Inventor is a good start for any modeling program. For the script you would need have a lot of creativity and experience to do it. You would need to plan what each of your characters say and what their actions are when saying it. You would need to hire people to do voices. Like I said it will be expensive.

    Anyway being in Scotland, Rockstar North are beginning to hand out game creator tools to schools so I can make GTA stuff whenever. That's what the English department head said anyway.

  8. I'd be suprised if they fit it on one disc considering the size.

    I suppose so but if GTA IV fits on a disc then wouldn't this game fit on one too? I doubt it would actually be that hard to fit it on a disc. If it came out on computer I would understand if it didn't fit on one disc.

    If it did come out then I wouldn't want the storyline of San Andreas and the this storyline to intertwine, a totally new San Andreas would be what I am looking for but I want to see a new Vice City before I see a new San Andreas.

  9. Online translators are quite inaccurate but it is meant for you (the user) to search things up as a dictionary not as a whole sentence. I like the idea of experts on that though, it would greatly improve the quality of posts in the forum and allow some members to become bilingual or multilingual. But for a GTA forum it does seem rather pointless, I would understand if there were one or many English experts, that would be okay but tonnes of French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian etc. experts would be pointless. I would say that this forum could have the potential to have one-hundred experts at least but this would probably happen after a few months of it being fully implemented.

    I'm just curious but how many experts would there be allowed under GTA San Andreas?

  10. Yeah, I see what you mean by both of the points. How would these such members be picked, I know that they will probably be picked by the staff but what sort of things would you be looking for in these certain individuals? I know being knowledgeable is one of them and posting it is the other but what else?

    Quality of posts?: You wouldn't want some guy who doesn't understand the concept of English grammar to become one (i.e. writes like: hi my names joeyyyyyyy lolololol) whose posts seem to contain lowercase characters and incredibly bad wording

    Length of advice/expertise/tutorials?: Shorter, less detailed advise seems not to be good, I know this is probably different for most people but I prefer reading something that's quite long. Usually that would show to me that the person who wrote tried hard to bring it to such a good context but it may be wrong however, I would prefer reading it. If it's answering a simple question in a topic then it wouldn't need to be long, it depends really in what context I said.

    Mood?: Will you be looking for a certain seriousness in a member's posts or would it be someone who is happy most of the time. Seriousness isn't usually good because it shows that a particular person doesn't often tolerate silliness or ignorance but the benefits would be that this person would do their job quickly and efficiently. Pros and Cons for each mood, so I think this one may be a hard choice.

    Amount of Knowledge?: Would you go for something who the brain of a scientist and shares what they know or would you go for someone who knows quite a lot and shares it?

    (I feel like a journalist right now, it's a very awkward position to be in)

  11. I quite like this idea. It sounds very simple and you're basically putting them to work instead of allowing them to sit back and watch (much like the current elite group). As for suggestions to help the idea, I don't really know but you could implement something in the MTA Server like certain members being 'Experts' towards the Gang Server or allowing these experts to have privileges.

    Another few suggestions towards it:

    1. If a member of the expert group hasn't been on TGTAP (obviously without some sort of notice like a holiday or family event) for say a maximum of 3 months or so, then they will be forced to stand down?

    2. They must have a certain or some certain qualities over the specified subject they are supposedly expert on?

    3. A brief introduction is required for each of the experts. I would consider this like the About.com 'expert' system where there are 'experts' on specific subjects and each have an introduction and information on the subject they are dealing with.

    I can't think of anything else. Tell me what you think of those few ideas.

  12. We insult your views because usually your views insult others. The last few posts I have read of yours have either been misleading or completely off-topic - like this topic. TM and I at least managed to post something relevant to the specified topic and neither of us posted anything about the creator of the topic.

    You can express your feelings - usually with you it's sick or insulting - nobody said you can't but with regards to this topic's post it was completely irrelevant and just weird.

    Note: I wasn't trying to 'rip' you, I was just amused at your PM to SV earlier with you acting all tough guy - I don't think SV could give a flying fuck if you can't take being insulted by him, it shows that you can't take what you give out.

  13. Look guys shut it. The guy who posted this topic obviously didn't realise that the topic had been made many times before, does it occur to you that he joined yesterday? No wonder that not a lot of new members are actually staying here, nice to know how well people are greeted here:

    "Well if you acknowledge that you're the "fiftyith million" person to make a topic like this, then why don't you post in one of the other "fiftyith million" topics?"

    Well done...

  14. I wouldn't mind seeing a San Andreas Stories. I wasn't a huge fan of GTA San Andreas but if Rockstar released a San Andreas sequel then it might look a bit better. But I don't really see it happening at all, we've almost went through the IV era and so it seems very unlikely that a San Andreas Stories would come.

    @ Connor: You want to know why people are insulting you? Look up at your post, there's an example.

  15. I'm not going to be suggesting fast/sports cars because I prefer 4x4s and estate cars.

    I wouldn't mind seeing an equivalent to the Land Rover Discovery (The new one), I don't like the design but it looks as though it would be a GTA possible since the Range Rover has already appeared in two of the games (GTA San Andreas and GTA IV).

    I also wouldn't mind seeing a few Vauxhalls and Peugeots. I like the Vauxhall Corsa, it would do nice for when you would like a small and compact vehicle to drive around the next GTA game in, it has an average speed too.

  16. It sounds like it will be a good game. I won't be buying it yet though, I need to buy the first DLC before I buy this one when it is released.

    To be honest, I'm really disappointed with the new character, it's not the type I like but eh, I guess the dlc could still be good.

    I agree with you on that one. I would've preffered it if it was someone with a lot more involvement in the game such as Packie and the fact that some people are taking it far too seriously.
