well put, gtagrl, well put ... but as of today, i am stepping away from trying to organize for the time being...we're planned out for a few weeks, but maybe it's just me that is getting tired of it... or maybe i am having a mental break down in real life... but for now, i wouldn't mind if others stepped in and ran things... i am too stressed with running a graphics team, a kitchen team, and a GTA team... i need a break from one, and unfortunately, two of them pay the bills... it's not a knock on this place, i love it here, but can i get a small window of solace?? i think only gtagrl knows what i am dealing with in my "personal life" , which also adds to my struggle, but i think i finally realized that i could use some help here and not try to run the show all by myself... as much fun as i had tonight, i also had a meltdown after we all parted ways, and i am still dealing with it... and i am man enough to admit that... i could just use some help with organizing here... i'll happily make new banners and such, but i am tired of playing mr. nanny, mr. vault overseer... i'd like to just join and not have to be boss is all... i just need some time right now to be another one of the guys...

tonight was interesting... and i don't blame myself or any of you, i blame the game for continuing to bore us every week... i've sensed it in the crew for quite some time now, and you can deny it all you want, but we are clearly not into it as much anymore... if the theme isn't ground breaking, then we break the ground .... after the first olympic playlist everyone wanted to play the new stunts... after that, no one cared anymore... crew nights are getting to the point where in my little time i have anymore, i wonder why i even try... i should just let other people take charge, like dio or gtagrl or dup... plan out the rest of the nights, run the crew nights... i am running on fumes at this point... i need to take a hiatus for a few weeks or something, this 5 year run is starting to get to me, i am reaching the point where i just can't keep trying to run it every week... i seriously need a break... and i am fucking serious... there's a reason why topics are late... i am getting tired of doing it straight up... please take the wheel, jesus, or someone else with a similar name... please give me a vacation ... i am too busy in real life with two jobs, and freelance graphics work on the side... i've been getting burnt out a lot in life right now and tbh, as much as i love you guys, i feel like someone else could easily step up and fill in for a bit... it's my stress level that has built up to this point... i need some release... any takers??? ... please give me a break... perhaps we can do a joint crew collab here on out or something...but for now, can someone else step up? i'm sorry, but tonight finally pushed me over the edge... it's been too long, i need others to help with supporting these nights ... please do air your grievances and/or suggestions... but like i said, i have been organizing since GTA4, i could use a vacation ... *end of mental breakdown*... *i think*... *hopefully *

it's a heist achievement thingy... 25 mission platinums i think...

oh, well we can crown a champ there too ... king of shanigans!! i'm planning on putting out a tweet shortly after i get them snapped up, with the main account, announcing the winners of the playlists with podium pics ... and we can toss in a shenanigans crown as well ... i built my podium as a DM tho so we can all hear each other... that might be a problem in the capture if there's more than 8 ....

booo-urns!!! lol it's all good... it's impossible to represent countries, i just wanted us to look sporty ... i also made a podium job for the end of the playlists so we can take our place after the winner is determined...

it was an expansion pack i think?? i don't think it ever sold for full retail...

holy shit, they're gonna give us a TON of room to build... i had to turn off the game tho, it's late and i got destroyed by a legendary deathscorpion ... there might be much more to this than i thought as well, but i am not into the settlement thing so i am not sure how much i'll really get into this... i am level 64 or 65, and i am sitting on 5 perks that i haven't used yet ...

lol .... ok, original post updated... ANOTHER UPDATE: added track jackets to the list, forgot about those...

so this is happening; vault-tec workshop releases at midnight GMT... so that means, it'll be available for me at 7pm tonight ... providing that sony corresponds with this and releases on time ....

TUE JULY 26 - 6PM (EST) 11PM (GMT) --- Join us this Tuesday for iGTA Crew Night! #shenanigans, user created jobs, photo ops, streaming, etc... Stay as long as you like, but please share your experience here with us for all to enjoy! Pics, videos, stories... Crew Nights are always told from multiple viewpoints, so please tell us your side of the story! --- Theme: iGTA Olympics... it's here, and just in time before the official olympics!!! let's get a little competitive, but still have fun... i've already assembled two playlists, but whatever challenges you're up for trying in freeroam, let's do it... i think the freeroam events might be fun ... and the dress code is as follows: women: pants: sports shorts, booty shorts, track pants tops: polo tops, tank tops (full length), track jackets shoes: sneakers, running shoes, sports shoes accessories: caps forward/backward, gloves (non-surgical/trash), necklace (no chains), wristband, sports glasses, gun range glasses men: pants: sports shorts, track pants tops: tank tops, polos (non-cholo), track jacket shoes: sneakers, running shoes, sports shoes accessories: caps forward/backward, gloves(non-surgical/trash), necklace (no chains), sports glasses, gun range glasses i just want us looking like athletes is all, whatever kind of combination you can come up with those simple guidelines is up to you... also, if you wear a mask (ala me, sometimes kuz), that's acceptable... even hat/mask glitch is fine as long as you're wearing the hats i mentioned... --- Emblem: we do have an olympic emblem but i think it will look like shit with the white BG, so i guess we'll just leave this one for now... --- Add'l Thoughts: moved motocross to the 16th... made next week no theme night... --- Guidelines: * Join the iGTA community here, or befriend one of us to join the Crew. (via Social Club, PSN, Twitter, Instagram, IRL, etc.) * Add some of us on the Playstation Network to get invited. (PSN Names are underneath our Avatars) * You can join whenever, but the earlier the better. Ask for an invite if you want in. (We'll try to start the night out in a crew lobby to make things easier) * If there's an "EVENT THEME", please dress appropriately. (If you don't, stay away from crew activities and play alone) * NO CREW KILLING, unless #shenanigans happen or agreed upon. (This rule will now be further enforced due to recent engagements) * NO DIRTY RACING! Also, listen to us if there's specific rules for a job. (A number of our jobs have specific rules, try to pay attention) * NO BULLET-PROOF HELMETS during competitive play. It ruins the balance of the matches. (Not been an issue yet, don't make it one) * NO CONSUMING OF SNACKS during competitive play. Be a man and die with honor. (Not been an issue yet, don't make it one) * No going off-radar in competitive matches. (Not been an issue yet, don't make it one) * Don't ruin someone's Photo or Video if they're trying to set something up. (This can, and will get you, kicked from the session, no sabotaging on Crew Nights) ...we'll add more as we go if needed. --- Upcoming Events: * AUG 2ND - No Theme Night * AUG 9TH - Stunt Night * AUG 16TH - Motocross Night (Events Subject to Change Depending on Crew Thoughts or When Rockstar Releases New DLC) Other Suggestions (so far): Rally Car Night, Rock & Roll Night, GTA Night, Vinewood Night, Fight Night, Business Night, Hipster Night, Wrestling/Fight Night, Motocross Night, Purge Night Reoccurring Themes: Crew Blue Night, Drift Night, Stunt Night, Off-Road Night, MC Night, BMX Night, Lowriders Night, 80s Night, Apocalypse Night

i think a non-themed crew night will do then... hopefully rockstar gives us some decent things to play around with on the 2nd then... then get ready for the official iGTA stunt night the following week!!

next week should be competitive... what if i make the creator release no themed??? we can certainly save motocross for later, as well as wild west... ----- i guess i didn't really save a lot of good clips... i went thru 'em and wondered why i even saved a number of them, nothing was happening in them ... but here they are tho, i did get a few nice ones, but not really anything video worthy... being trampled... grinding... bmx in the air... at the skatepark... sunset ride... user created stunt race... me and dio... with north... inverted... another bmx park... w/ gtagrl and dup... north thru the hole!!

i think my system just needed to cool down... perhaps it was overworked yesterday... we can do a wild west night, motocross would be more in the mud i'd think, right? not on stunt ramps?

i'll try after work... i just went to bed in frustration lol...

Posted just now · Report post so i get online tonight and fill both accounts with cars to sell... make one tiny switch to babe and nothing works anymore... it's as if the GTA gods punished me for even thinking of duping for her because nothing worked... at all... either it's patched or i was part of the %10, with babes, that just can't do it... then again, i can't even launch my game right now on any account, so i might be having bigger issues weather/internet wise, even tho the single player should launch but it wont... if i am banned, i will never play this game again... single player is broken all of a sudden... my plan was to hit up my clips after the dupe, but now that's not gonna happen because single player wont even start... lol... thanks, cockstar...

i guess i tend to rant sometimes... there was a time when just about everyone in the lobby would share something from the night... but nemo is right, just getting together is what matters most... and if something funny happens, make sure you always have action replay on ... i will go thru my clips soon, been busy with the whole gary busey contract on hitman, and a couple other things lol...

the problem is, not enough of us do anymore... if it weren't for nemo's last minute post, then we'd only have me and dio's from last week, and that's from a stunt DLC night where we had a good dozen or more people... it seems like no one really cares anymore, and if it's gonna start getting that way, then maybe i wont care much anymore either... i'm not trying to pressure people, but a lot of the regulars on crew night used to share more... but it's gotten to the point where they're like "i'm sure bones or dio captured that, i am not even gonna bother"... i dunno, just an observation ...

oh lol... well sorry to inconvenience you then with sharing our fun ... you can go back to snapmatic if you want to ... i do wish more people would share stuff, it seems like they rely on you and me and a few others (on occassion) to show off the crew night... it seems like a bit much, but i've been doing that since GTAIV days so i guess i am just used to it...

lol yea, you'll get used to turning off the hud if you stick with this method ... hell i turn it off so much that sometimes i forget that i am in camera mode and accidentally move the camera instead of advancing the scene lol... i know you're having hosting issues, but i don't have much of a problem with photobucket, mainly because i've been using it for like 10 years now, i'm used to whatever changes they throw at me... i'm also renaming them properly so when i paste them into the other media box, i just change the number at the end... also, i don't use a filter on a lot of my shots either, unless the scene is just too epic to ignore a few more minutes of polish ... i mostly just crank up the contrast and the brightness a little on most of my snaps... then copy that effect style and paste it on the rest of them that i don't feel like framing better...

the new tampa is in the sports class... yea yea i know, everyone else is just as confused... but i guess the car it's based on is a sports car, not a muscle car... and never get rid of the dominator, its still the best muscle car IMO...

i didn't use VATS, and i haven't really spent perks on melee/unarmed combat... i just assumed it was because i fired my gun and didn't have any ammo...

after last night, i am sold on the tampa drift... maybe not as a racecar, but as a fun car to drive ... but the lynx?? yea not interested in it at all... maybe for $500k, but not $1.7m...

i think we did ... it was fun... plenty of BMXn, and a lil' stuntin' here and there ...

epic...

i still haven't played a stunt race since last tuesday night ... but these new cars are absolute shit in stunt races, apparently they're no match for the rest of the class according to this guy, who is the go to guy for car specs...
