  1. Jesus, that really sucks then, I've played it on all kinds of hardware [both spectrums in terms of processor and gfx card] and never ran into an occasion when it ran like shit. I know Bully and GTA IV especially are god awful but thought San Andreas was relatively good for it.
  2. Half the PC board in the old forums couldn't run the fucking game. It ran nicely on my old laptop and that was a POS [all pre-patch btw]. I cant imagine how chit your PC's must have been
  3. theres a 72gb torrent on the pirate bay that has every event, minus a few smaller grand prix ones and the bushido's [which is shit since Gomi was the man back int he day] but there is a separate 22gb torrent with those too. bearing in mind the 72gb one has a 0.3:1 seeder ratio so I'm figuring I'm just gonna start leaving my PC on at night while it downloads. there are also bootleggers on some of the local nz auction websites I've noticed [they had every nitro before I found a torrent with them] so if a bandwidth cap is a problem for you, you could probably pay them and they send out a slightly less than legitimate collection of every event. something like this - http://www.sell.com/23SDQ4, although $110 is pretty extortunate when I've seen them for a quarter of that.
  4. Been watching some indy stuff recently, David Loiseau, former MW contender knocked this one guy out 3 times in less than 20 seconds. Insane. If only he was on point mentally more often and was aggressive. That's tristar all over real though, c'est la vie.
  5. GTA SA Is actually a fairly decent port. It's only after that Rockstar went into the toilet. At a guess its some kind of compatibility issue rather than poor performance and the game flat out wont work, in that case I'd suggest getting the Steam version because that version DEFINITELY runs on Windows 8. Try first right clicking GTA_SA.exe and finding compatibility mode and changing that to XP.
  6. 50 bucks in ram is a two year decision for you? Also, you could probably by a whole computer two years from now for $50 that will be faster than your air, with the memory.... Speaking of msi being shit.... My motherboard crapped how (bios issue i think) so i ended up getting a gigabyte... Msi boards have no diagnostic lights or horns... The gigabyte i got has an lcd code read out and two bios's... And an extra pci 3 slot, though i doubt ill ever use it... Well since I posted that I now work in a helpdesk position. We ALWAYS go for Gigabyte on any new build [and generally for replacing dead motherboards if its new enough]. They aren't GAYMING EDITION 9 BILLION PCI SLOTS motherboards that we buy, so obviously there might be some kind of bottleneck in gaming but we dont do that and you won't find any close in terms of reliability. We buy middle tier atx, so roughly £60 or so and the entire thing has solid state capacitors instead of cheapo electrolytics. I'll add Asus middle to low tier to the list of "do not buy". Those are dropping like flies. Don't even bother with a mac. What makes you need OS X so bad? Buy business class thinkpads, now that shit is sexy
  7. A forum archive in general would be good. The old boards had one and there was some good stuff
  8. not sure of if to follow that. It's from fucking /b/ and is called "kill you" "get drunk as shit off 23 liters of hard cider 14% for $15. who the fuck knows in two months they'll be going to a party or s/t? what a load of shit
  9. Nothing homosexual about nursing at all. It's a male and female profession and a particularly important, honorable one at that.
  10. you need to open a support ticket with Invision. After every round of "maintenance" theres always a few people that it doesnt work for after it completes. iGTA5 is one of them this time.
  11. Only 15lbs of muscle? ladies and gentlemen... this is what happens when you miss the window. POOF chit those gains are gone!!
  12. fuck that you need a protein shake, if you dont get one and miss your anabolic window you can say bye bye to your gains
  13. Historically being a sparky has been quite lucrative, at least here it has. Absolutely invaluable advice. My town is an old wool town. in the 80's all that kind of shit was outsourced to foreign countries and employment is still ridiculously high because of it. Never work in something widespread in your town cause if it gets outsourced there are a surplus of you. Like Cuda mentioned, assuming your in anything for the long haul is a terrible idea.
  14. Not sure about the US but generally here you strive for dorms and then with the friends you [hopefully] made in the dorms you get a place for yourselves in the second year.
  15. Must see, pic doesnt even need to have her face in it just body
  16. I was going to do it but the finance service fucked me over. Two days before I was due to leave I got correspondence saying they had all my evidence and needed 6-8 weeks to analyze it and then my money would be delivered. So it'd be like 6 weeks before I could buy a laptop, buy food etc. Absolute bullshit considering I sent them documents as far back as March and they lost them TWICE. The last time sending them down was late June or so and it took them that long to decide they'd received them?!? Was just impossible and my grandma who I lived with and still do got gravely ill so I opted out of going to look after her, now I work IT Helpdesk and I'm training for to become a Microsoft Technology Associate and some City & Guilds stuff. The end goal is to attend university after I finish my apprenticeship. Should've become a personal trainer. be a shredded cunt and make people pay for help becoming a shredded cunt
  17. there's nobody even in the chat... happened @18:28
  18. Have you maybe thought that was your fault and not the games? I bumbled my way through first time, got into way too many points where I'd get detected, peg it and just hide in a cupboard and pick people off as they entered, I ended up going back through not impressed with my performance and using my new found abilities did it in the most pro ways possible, did fun takes on the mission [e,g sneak into the heavily guarded building wearing a fucking ridiculous outfit etc], took new approaches such as sniping etc.
  19. A Sega CD won't do shit on its own bud. System on a chip doesn't. All these famiclones like Yobo FC, Retron etc all have slightly off colours. It's nothing major.
  20. Nah, the Unix crowd is offputting. Far too obtuse for my liking and there's far more than a surplus of SQL database monkeys.
  21. Well it's all SOAC so the emulation isn't perfect but if you're not one of those dorks that will freak out because the background is slightly purple rather than a solid blue it's perfect. You could get your old consoles working far easier just by properly cleaning the cartridges (Q-tips and isopropyl alcohol aka rubbing alcohol) and the credit card and cloth soaked in alcohol trick for the cartridge port. Spend the $3 or so it will cost to get proper controllers. The universal ones are indeed shit.
  22. Wendell Odom and Tom Thomas. goml. [i'm not even on a course, I do an apprenticeship where I work as helpdesk while I'm training, I just decided I wanted some light reading/to specialize; thinking of virtualization, particularly VDI/Citrix and networking.] Anybody here work as a sysadmin/anything IT related for companies? The vibe I'm getting is that being well rounded is difficult and equals shit pay and less opportunities, hence why I'm looking to specialize and considering a degree after I become a fully trained MTA.

    Keypad Secret?

    Too hard so they nerfed them, too easy, now they're more difficult than they were. ridiculous.
