    You don't get it, it was PC irrelevant, the game ran absolutely fine on my machine, but I remember at the time Cygnus having issues and he had a boss pc, countless people posted every day about not being able to play the game at all.

    Gta has always had shit ports, and it gradually gotten worse, to the point where even the controls made no sense (wtf @ driving with a mouse)

    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.

    Half the PC board in the old forums couldn't run the fucking game.

    New York (esp. NYC and LI) are very diverse when it comes to industries. To be honest I do think my area offers among the best chances to make it, but it can be expensive to live here.

    I think you over think way too many things for your age, don't assume anything at 15 or 16, at that age the only thing I knew for sure is that every morning I'd wake up with a boner - everything else was pure speculation and wrongness.

    I think that before applying to college, like Dozy said, you should try and understand what you want and who you are.

    Are you passionate about a certain profession? Or just about money? A lot of people go into uni and take degrees they aren't even sure about, ultimately becoming unfulfilled, we seem to think that just by reaching a certain yearly income, we will be happy, but the truth is we do spend most of our lives working (try not to get depressed now...), so you should at least try to find something that makes work (mostly) a joy.

    I have never been one for the academic life, in uni I just realized I wanted to get things done and fuck off, uni is boring. During my high school years I kept hearing things like "uni is much cooler, you'll pick an area and just focus on classes you like!", fuck that, uni is even broader than high school, my engineering classes spanned across wayyyy too many areas, 50% of those I could not give 2 shits about.

    Don't see your classes as something similar to what you'll be doing once you get a job, I like my job and it has basically nothing to do with my uni classes, but I do understand that it was my degree that opened doors for me to get the job - that's what a uni degree is, a door opener. At the same time, don't turn into one of those douches - "fuck uni, these classes have no real use in the real world!!" - wrong, wrong, fucking wrong. These boring ass classes that seem to only be there to fuck your brain and make you feel stupid are what's going to make you ready for the real world, where competition is fierce.

    I made it a mission in uni to take in as much math classes as possible, 99% of it is useless to me today, it's not like I'm going to ever need to bust out multiple integrals... but the challenge is great, it sharpens your mind, the harder it is, the better you become. The stress of passing these classes and the study requirements they demand put you in a better position once you find challenges in your job, uni can't prepare you 100% for the problems you'll encounter during your professional life, but those 3-5 years should at least challenge you and smooth out the transition to a job - so don't take only easy classes.

    I'm considering a finance, economics, accounting, or international relations/business major.

    Colleges I'm looking at in order (for the most part) include:

    -Butler University

    -University of South Carolina

    -University of Missouri

    -Oregon State University

    -University of Washington

    -Western Washington University

    -New York University

    Anyone who has any outlook on these I'd appreciate the advice.

    Also, for the Americans here, if you attend out of state, I'm guessing you must register and insure your car for that state?

    If I could go back, I would definitely get on that finance/economics party, cunts make way too much money, would fit my narcissistic agenda.

    I know a guy in NYU, math department (doctorate).

    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.

    Hi, my name is cuda, and despite people thinking I'm just a musclebound douchebag, I also hold an engineering degree.

    Should've become a personal trainer. be a shredded cunt and make people pay for help becoming a shredded cunt

    What the fuck would that have to do with engineering broseph? Personal training is a made up job anyway, if you can't figure out how to lift a weight or not to eat a twinkie, you need better help than a personal trainer.

    Meant to post about my feelings in Emperor of Thorns and the whole Broken Empire series, just got the time.

    First of all, to add to Jorg's badassery:

    Almost done with Prince of Thorns and it has been a very interesting read, it is much different than the common fantasy series, so I'm writing a few things because I liked this book and I like you too:

    Jorg is a badass, he is the definition of hate and darkness, he rapes and kills as he pleases but also gives good philosophy input on life. Few things that make Jorg a badass:

    • Gets in a duel (supposedly with swords), grabs a crossbow and kills his opponent.
    • Eats the hearth of a Necromancer just for kicks.
    • Uses nuclear weapons to kill a whole town (serious).
    • Kills plenty of his posse for being loud mouths to him.
    • Pushes one guy off a cliff to make a point.
    • Finds sex with a whore weird because he didn't have to actually rape her.

    One thing you should really know is, the book takes place in the future, it is my understanding that there was a worldwide nuclear holocaust and the human race basically started from zero again.

    So yeah, need to add this to the list:

    • Decapitates a woman just to able to use her head as a throwing weapon.

    • Kills guards appointed to him because he knows they can't fight back.
    • Has sex with a female Necromancer.
    • Kills the pope.

    Yeah.

    Jorg is the one of the best characters ever developed in the fantasy genre, the story of the book starts great, but I think some of it could have been told better, especially as you head towards the end of the series.

    There are quite a few things that are hard to pickup (Ginginho, when did you figure who the Dead King was? Did you understand who the Custodian was? The electric chair?), the series success is undoubtedly due to Jorg, not the story itself - not that I'm saying the story is bad though.

    The First Law trilogy for example has a really superb story that just drags you in, in The Broken Empire though, Jorg is the one carrying you, I didn't really care about what would happen, as long as Jorg kept surprising me it's all good.

    btw Ginginho, just learned that there is a new book coming out in the same universe:

    The idea that the websites are stating [and I use that term loosely] is that it's thermal paste but exactly how the fuck a paste has magically passed through aluminum is beyond me and frankly I think two guys with Xbox One's decided to play a prank on the internet.

    Yes, well, I'm happy to know that I'm no longer the only that enjoys ejaculating on game systems.

    Go into the store and ask for a Sega Saturn, when they tell you it's old and no longer in the market just ignore them and go "pshh, still sold out, guess everyone really wants a saturn". Casually drop kick a store employee and leave.
