Posted onAuthorGame News1 Comment

If you have been trying to learn how to use the Commandline.txt
For GTAIV, just right click that file there and save the file to
your hard disk. Open the file and look at the content.
copy the file to your GTAIV main Directory and boot the game.

EXAMPLE
You will be playing the game at very low settings. I myself enjoy it
windowed.
The reason to use half memory instead of what everyone says about setting it twice memory

Is so that you are not maxing your resources. It makes more sense to me. You can edit as you wish.

but at least try it.

I just ctrl esc and use the mouse to drag the sides out and the corners out
enlarging the visual area. You can now actually play across two screens now.

New WINDOWS LIVE Breaks GTAIV even worse

Posted onAuthorTech News16 Comments

Today April 21st, Microsoft released a new update to WINDOWS LIVE . The forums at GTAFORUMS.Com goes crazy.
Looks like Microsoft bundled some lines of code that totally trashed what few users and players of Grand Theft Auto IV, that Rockstar Games had left. The game seems to work fine in Multi- Player , but has traumatic effect on Single player mode. You can no longer tweak and adjust your game. The game stutters so bad and hangs up, that no one can get even four minutes of play time to test out said tweaks. It kind of looks intentional.
Picture this:
Rockstar games might have actually put the screws to Microsoft, for allowing cheats in thier online community, and well, looks like they might have barked up the wrong tree. Sad part is, they are contracted to them, so they can’t just drop the windows live program.

This of course is where the modders and tweakers need to come together. MTA-IV and Iv-mp need to band together and make something quick to save Rockstar in this.

Now this is pretty much speculation, but man it would be scary if it was true.
Xliveless is the way to go, but patches are hard to get and use once you do that.

If you feel that Microsoft needs to Address this, Sign below with a response.
Let our Text be read, we need to prove there are more than just a hand full of out there.

Call it a petition. Call it a group effort. I just consider it a gathering of upset customers.
We are customers of Microsoft, we are displeased.

Even if you do not agree with my opinion, let your’s be read and lets let Microsoft hear from us.
Just reply to this with your opinion on the matter.
Digg it for me

Hands on (Dead Space)

Posted onAuthorGame News

The game is great, but there are so many sounds.
The look is amazing and the 3d, you almost feel it. The voice over is excellent acting. EA has a great team on this game. So long as they don’t do what they did the rest of the games. You know, cut corners and costs and press fast timelines to pump out so much garbage to keep us pacified, that the game becomes stick figures and “speed racer” sound effects.
Level 6 the hard mission with the 10 k ton goat see thing with three red arms that come out and slap you.
Level Six Big Boss
Shoot the arms with your fastest gun, shoot them at the brown and yellow glowing balls. It takes about 10-15 shots each.
Do not waste time with the explosive canisters. Keep in mind that you will have to destroy those arms twice.
At the mouth of the beast you will see he will shoot meteor looking objects at you. When you shoot the meteors, they will not explode till second shot. first shot will send them back in the direction they came from, unless they build momentum. If they get fast enough before you shoot them, they will just stop, until the next one slaps into it and causes it to explode. Soooo , with that said. here is the trick:
As the beast opens it’s mouth you will see one meteor about to launch, shoot that , the next one will smack into the back of it, causing them both to explode in it’s mouth. This causes a bigger effect than if you just shoot him. Easier said, keep shooting him in the mouth while it is open. Steadily keep blasting. If you can, walk in a clockwise direction around the rim of the tube you are in.

You will kill him.

After the mission is complete, get directions
End of level 6 dead space
Chapter 7 Into the Void
More Missions
Mining Deck

10 minutes into this level and you will see a familiar face. Have your gun ready and your clip full. you will be protecting this person. If you are not a complete jerk.!
Now be on the lookout. Level 4 suit coming soon. Cost 35 big ones.
in the changing room
New suite!!!!

Win Fights In Mobsters Myspace

Posted onAuthorTech News

Sometimes the best offence is a good defence, so look through your equipment tab and find the weapon with the highest attack. If you have 500 mobsters, buy 500 of that weapon. If you have 258 buy 258, and so on and so forth. This will help you attack rival mobsters. Once you have the best attack weapons go to the armor tab and do the same for the armor, and once more for the vehicles.

But you also need to protect yourself against other people that are attacking you. So go to the weapons tab once more and buy the weapon with the highest defence. You will use the weapon with the highest defence if your defending. so it only makes sence to buy the best defence weapon. Then go to your armor tab and do the same thing, buy the armor with the best defence. and once more for the vehicles tab.

When attacking other mobsters you will use the best attack weapon/vehicle/ and armor to fight them so by buying the most amount you can use of each you are inreasing your chances at winning the battle.

Same goes for if you are attacked, best defence weapon/vehicle/armor will be used to defend you so buy the same number of each as you have mobsters.

EX: 500 mobsters buy 500 of the best attack weapons/vehicles/armor

EX: 200 mobsters buy 200 of the best defence weapons/vehicles/armor

And us at Attack At Will are always looking for new recruits to teach and fight along side with us.  We will also help you reach the long awaited goal of 500 mobsters if you still need to. So come join us at Attackatwill.com. Tell them that Poit sent you.

GTAIV issues, what works for me.

Posted onAuthorTech News

Playing Grand Theft Auto IV I was having the issue of images vanishing after just minutes of gameplay. The more the stuff I had going on, the worse it got. I looked online for the capacities of my motherboard. I found that the native memory I was using, What the manufacture says on the box that my motherboard came with is 667mhz. No where on the box did it signify that I could go any further. So I Googled my motherboard. What I found was lots of people like myself did what I did. We all bough what we thought was the max memory for the board. 2 Gigs of 667mhz ddr2. but others experimented and found that it can handle greater than 800 mhz ddr. So I headed to the electronics store and bought 4 gigs of pc 6400 800 mhz ddr2 memory. Then when I got home, I tried to find teh forums that I saw earlier. By that time I found a handfull sites selling the same motherboard, the specs they had on those sites showed greater than 800 mhz..Dang. but I did the install.
You would not believe the speed increase I gained from this. The game has no lag issues. I stay at 30 fps min, and never have any stutter, never have any vanishing items. just that small step up and doubling my memory, the game plays like a gem.
The canned air in the heatsinks didn’t hurt me . So I think I am well on my way. See you online. I will be at gtaclans.com when I am not actually in game.

What is Comcast up to ?

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Comcast will set a total available bandwidth usage. They will be charging for people going over their monthly limit.
For an unlimited internet. they sure do dance around the word “limit” a whole lot.

They claim 43% bandwidth usage increase. Well if you buy every internet company that has many users on it, expect an increase. This is how media dumbs us down and tells us that we should pay more an accept the fact that we are bad.

Give us a choice? “throttle or cap” ? are you kidding me?
I am for neither one. I live between 2 dsl hubs!
I didn’t go over my limit. I am unlimited.
my usage did not increase, they increased the number of users.
Time to Dsl it.
Sell out’s explain it to us
Net neutrality or bandwidth capping. WTF is actually happening here?
Does the “Comunismcast” hat fit yet ?
They bought out all companies in Texas that could be an alternative to their internet supply, then they tell us we will pay for anything over a limit.. again, unlimited bandwidth….?
I say leave comcast and cripple them before all the other companies join suite. Make an example of them.

Didn’t Microsoft get sued for this exact same thing?

Myspace on the hunt for new blood.

Posted onAuthorTruXter

taken from Forbes

Sample pages for the new service closely resemble Yelp’s. On each business’ page, a block of basic information (phone number, address, map, price range) is followed by a string of comments with the name of the MySpace user who commented and a picture.
Like Yelp, MySpace and Citysearch will sell ads to local businesses that can run alongside its listings and user comments. MySpace will also place ads for national brands among the local content. So far, it has signed up Coors and Outback Steakhouse as the first advertisers.

Will Google Buy Twitter?

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Looks like examiner thinks so.

Tech Crunch thinks it is a maybe deal

So does pc world

I myself Have been thinking for a while that it probably should have happened a while back.
The big issue is everyone says that twitter has no market. Yes they do. It’s 100% plain simple advertisement already.
Twitter should have had adsense on the top of every page in the script from the start. they would have easily cleared as much money as google could offer by now. But they played it smart and pointed at nothing but keeping the users happy. Sad think is, whom ever is to purchase twitter, will have a goal different of the twitter group, so expect to see some changes. what made it popular will no longer be there. The freedom to post at no cost, without intrusive ads. We hoard to that kind of atmosphere. Now we all wait with our fingers on our twitter aps in our cell phones, and wonder when we have to uninstall it.
