Over the years I have created a few videos of myself playing variations of gta on my pc.
Today while in the gtaforums threads I was reading about how each person wants to creat videos to play on the net.
So I put together a scrambled callage of my Grand Theft auto Videos
http://truxtertech.com/news/gta.html
Something to hold me down till the release of official news about GTAIV.

There is talk all over the net right now that EA games bought GTAIV game engine Euphoria.
Just Google it
What does this mean for the future of GTA ?
What does this mean for the future of Ea’s video games?
Are we about to see some really good EA games coming up? Does this mean the next True Crimes is actually going to be good? Does this mean that Rockstar has a whole new better engine in mind?
Or is this a rumor?
Seems it broke on the 15th August 2008. So far all I see is people asking if it is true. As I amd doing.
Is It true?

Sorry but the writer on that site, lol. But as it says
We the regular public will not be at this gaming convention, it’s a
special invite only . As we know rockstar, they will probably be shooting us some screenies within a day or so of that convention…. wait, wouldn’t you just be best off calling that a gaming meeting?
you can’t call a sepecial invite closed doors gathering, a convention, but more like a meeting.
Let’s see if it turns out that EA shows up.

There are a few things to First get to know when you are wanting to upgrade your computer. First one is simple. Figure out if the computer is a manufactured or a home built d.i.y. (do it yourself) computer. If it’s a manufactured computer just locate the production number and go to the manufacture’s website and see what upgrades you can get. In many cases it is best to use the parts they offer, unless you know what you are doing. If you do not but want to go the least expensive route, get a techy friend to help you. In most cases it is all about locating the part numbers, such as mother board numbers to find out what type of ram and or video card. I am pretty sure a good Google search will lead you to a safe forum full of people with the same issue, or willing to help you.
If it’s a diy computer, you might want to follow the last two suggestions I made in the earlier paragraph. Locate motherboard part number. Locate motherboard part number here. Locate the video card part number and locate the memory part number. Do the same with the hard drive. I would start with just putting the motherboard’s part number in Google and let Google do the work for you. You should be able to find a large list of helpful links. Unless the model numbers consist of three of the letter X. In that case you will not find anything helpful. In 95% of model number searches you will find specifications, unless your part is really out dated. Five or more years old, might be an issue. With something that old, you would benefit more to just shop online for a low cost computer.
If you are wanting to be really up to date and want to do it yourself, I have to say, buy a barebone computer. stick around 199-299 dollars. locate a really recent dated video card that is compatible with your new machine, most decent video cards on pci-express X16 run anywhere from 50-500 dollars. Don’t be ashamed to buy the $50 one. It will only be slightly less superior to the $500 video card, and they both will be out dated at the same time.
hand full of words to remember when searching
DDR2
Pci-Express
Dual core or Quad core if you really want to up to date with the very most recent.
500 watt power suply.
Dual layer dvd
multi card reader.
A machine like that should run you from $450 - $5000. Shop smart on that. Remember there really is a small difference, Don’t listen to the kids that scream about the best. Really the decision is up to you and your needs and wants. Overkill is and always will be overkill and useless. But an undershot is money wasted.
If you are looking for a monitor to upgrade Here are more phrases.
Refresh rate (lower is better)
Lcd
Hdmi
Wide screen.
Fair range is $12 an inch. But you can pay more if you must. But if you can beat $12 an inch then you are in the good, as long as the refresh rate isn’t stupidly bad.
Good luck with this, if you have any questions, bring it on. I would love to try and help.

If you have ever clicked in to see a website and noticed that by you launch/start button you notice your browser says that you are waiting for some program to start up from google. If you have ever said ” Hmmm should I be scared?”
If you are looking for a simple answer,
It’s a program you link with code on your website. The code in your website sends information to google. Th information gathered is really thorough. Types of data gathered are about the people surfing your website, such as point of origin, screen resolution, operating system, Exact search query, time on site, exit location.
For me some of this information is pretty useful. It tells me what size pictures I can put on my site to please the common public, what browser and operating system is my target to please. What content people where looking for and if I have exactly what they want or should I cover that content also or should I give a link to someone who does.
Google’s Version of the story
Not to be super conspiracy filled, but.
Um, that’s to much info about me. I am not comfortable with that much data. I really wouldn’t want the guy’s on the adopt a pet, website seeing that I whent straight to their site from an athlete’s foot site, and when I left I whent to a site about people who liked to eat with their feet.
Why is it that the google urchin gathers personal info about us, kinda adware info. I mean really isn’t it for advertisement purposes….. why doesn’t my spybot ,asquared and addaware find it? it is a js file so it does have beef.
Other than the issue with my personal self not liking the monitoring, I love being able to tweak my site with the info I gather.

I added more podcasts, and more radio stations to the
Toolbar
also cleaned up the functionality of it.
If you want a specific music genre let me know. Hit me here and I will add it.
You can add the ones you already have links to.
you can add your own podcasts now. also look in the area that says “local” it will gather local radio stations for you and hook you up with new music and news stations..
The text feeds are really getting bloated , I will cut that down with the next update I do. It really does not effect anyone with there being aa bunch, just to me it looks like allot.
It will be a week before I put another out though. I have a ton of site work to do.
As of now I think it works with explorer and mozilla and netscape only. Have not tried on Kopete / Kbrowser or opera.
If you get it to work on either, let me know
jst to clarify there is nothing screwy about this toolbar, scan it at jottis or virus total or virscan (google is your friend). You will see I am here to hook you up with easy usage, nothing freaky!
