Windows Mojave Commercial Flaw

Posted onAuthorTruXter

If you have no idea what I Mean. Read This.
As a tech guy who works for a company with the word “Tech” In it’s name. As a tech guy who owns two websites with the word ” Tech” in their name. I have to point out an issue I noted when watching the commercial.

There is an issue they do not point out. I can directly point out which of the people they showed in the interview where not techy people. And I can point out the ones they picked because they looked like the stereo typical “computer geek looking” people. Fat guy, Oriental, middle eastern,skinny white guy with glasses.

First off, No tech knowledgeable person could for one minute sit in front of a computer with an unexplored operating system, without diving head first into exploration. No knowledgeable techy person would ever  accept an operating system as “fast” form watching someone else use it, or watching a video of someone else use the operating system.

Typically there is a blank look in someone’s face when they are bsing you into believing they know  more about computer than they really do. They also keep their hands near their face or wrench them with an anxiety of “please let me leave, I just signed up for a random survey  and figured I could bs my way through it, I had no idea it was about computers. Please just pay me and get this over with so I can leave.” .

Some of the people in the video, they just show a briefing of them, but no show of reaction, either those people are  just people who looked like nerds so they used them, or, those nerdy people really where nerdy and  ended up  ragging the operating system, so they didn’t show much of them.

It is clear the crowd was selected.

I myself have the operating system on the computer I am using. I really do like and enjoy allot of the features, But I also turned off a mess-load of useless resource hogging items off  Meet Black Viper.

I have followed black Viper’s instructions, for many of operating systems.

I hope you see what I noticed and raise a stink saying ” Hey I am observant, not an idiot” .

GTAiv PC vs Console Comparison

http://gtaclans.com/index.php?topic=27.0

You have to login to participate  though.

Somethings look great on the PC version, but allot of things look left out for the pc

The explosions do not look as detailed on the pc as it does on the console.

A lot looks better on the console, and again allot looks better on pc. the whole draw distance, I don’t see it.

The guys at gtaforums.com have yet to cover this , Maybe it’s because they turned linking off and it just looks god awefull when you post a link and it does not get refferenced. Don’t get me wrong with gtaforums I love the site, but they might be poopooing on something usefull in the search for gtaiv on pc content.

Polish magazine to Release New GTA4 on pc Information

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Polish gaming mag  “CD-Action” Is promissing to release Grand Theft Auto on pc information in October.

Will this information be only speculation? will this information be real news? will it be what we already have heard ? Let’s hope it’s not a review, reviews can be swayed. What we need is system requirements. We don’t need them until the game is done, or that would be like setting standards and goals.  We would rather Rockstar shoot for as high as they can go, then tell us what we can do.

Right way to order cable / Satellite

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Call Comcast  and request your cable to vbe installed. They will give you a “Time frame Window” .

As soon as they state their little window of 6 hours that you are supposed to stay home from work to accomodate this company who makes you feel as if you have no alternative. Don’t bother requesting anything or asking any questions, they will belittle you and let you know they are very busy. Go the full nine yards with the phone call, make sure all of the paper work is done and then slam them with the big fat juicy one. Just before they get the chance to build up the steam and read the last line or recite the last line of their typical  ” how to end a call”  Rule book. Say with excitement ” Awesome that works out fine, I also ordered Direct Tv to arrive that same day, My friends and I have a bet which one will come and install first, I am betting on direct tv and from the huge time frame you gave me, I am gonna win the $200 bet, Well which ever shows up first is the one I am gonna use”.

Now end the call with something you have rehearsed ” thanks for accepting my call and taking my order, if there isn’t any more information you need from me again I would like to thank and wish you a good day.”

Now call direct tv and do the same.

Direct tv takes for ever, but do your best to schedual the same day.. which ever one shows up last, tell them it must have been a prank call.  If you get lucky, you get direct tv and Dsl. Dsl shouldnt exceed $30 a month and sometimes has greater bandwaidth than comcast, I mean comcast shows cool stats and specs when you do bandwidth tests, but in file transfer , they fall short of dsl. Earthlink is inexpensive and can find people to work with you.

Dsl has gotten really good in the past few years.. If you are in the right area.

Colleen On the UGM Benchmark

Posted onAuthorTruXter

We all screen shot her benchmarks at the same time,

We all have been coming in and out checking for updates on the ultimate gaming machine. Raggie34 (a regular there) has been showing up and helping like it was a paying job. His efforts  should be remembered. his work is well done.

I had my window down while I dug around other sites and she flipped out with a huge “hoooyaaa!”   so I looked.

And hit the screen shot.

I think I am the last to post so I have to say ” good job on the BenchMark and stability throughout!”

I upgraded pc for gtaiv

Posted onAuthorTruXter

I yanked out the old single core  mother board and processor

with Amd754 64bit 3400 mb cpu

and the nvidia 7600 gs 512 mb ram

and two gig pc 3200 ddr  ram

this computer was maxed out, the processor size was the max, the ram was the two gig max and the video card, well they don’t put out much for an agp  slot, for less than about 300 bucks, and still make it worth having.

to install

Athlon  5600+ dual 64bit am2 (2900mghz)

2 gigs pc 6400 ddr2 corsair mem

EVGA nvidia 9500 gt with 512 ddr2

Crazy thing is, the memory will not max out till it gets seated with 16 gigs.  Untill they sell  8 gig mem cards for cheap, and microslop allows you to install that much ( I believe 64 vista allows a large number , unsure what that is.) I will be fine with two gigs.

I of course had an issue installing xp. I kept seeing a lock up while trying to install Vista. So I tried the un-thinkable. I installed Xp 64 bit. Crazy, it fired right up and installed everything smoothly. I whent to all manufacture’s websites and bam…. the drivers  ready and available.

I decided to go onthe regular benchmarking I do.

I started with gtaiii . The game that always lags when ou go through the underpasses, when branches pass over the car, or china town where the banners flap as you pass through. not one hitch,hiccup,fsb burp.

Windows xp 64, the operating system that was such a problem to everyone, now is the best I have ever seen. I can not believe what is going on,.

Next I jumped on vice city, walked out of the safe house jumped in a banshee and headed with teh shoreline to my right. I made it to the malibu club and about a block later… wait … wtf.. what did I see?.. I turned around.. right in front of the parking lot behind the club is a sign. !!! a sign!!! I get out of the banshee to read the sign and it says “no standing, no parking,m2” a bunch of other stuff and something that looked like the back of a bus.

Why have I never seen this before?… Well while I was standing there.  people started walking up .. and they just stood there. Like they where waiting for a bus..  ok.. so the new card, ddr2  and the 64 bit combo just turned something on I have never seen before..   WHAT ?

So I drive around and test my typical lag areas. all was smooth.

I am about to jump into vice city and see what goes on there.

I like my machine now.

GTA IV On Pc Screen Shots

Posted onAuthorTruXter

first screen shots are released

http://www.gta4.net/news/4122/iv-pc-shown-off-at-leipzig-9-screenshots-emerge/

The gta Network has been around a while, they are very good at getting information to their ring.

Sometimes rockstar feeds them.

Get to know the network.

Start with e the gta forums .

The first details and screenshots of the PC version of GTA IV have emerged online today. Features revealed include a replay editor, better search options for matches online, the ability to play with a controller instead of keyboard and mouse (for all the masochists out there) and of course polished visuals worthy of the platform. Oh, and also fingerless gloves.

  • The number of multiplayer slots may be expanded for the PC version (16 is the limit for the console versions).
  • The maximum resolution is 2560×1600.
  • Players can record 30 second clips and then they can add filters and adjust the camera angle using the replay editor. They can also paste clips together and then upload them to R* Social Club for others to view online.
  • Players can search for multiplayer games more specifically (e.g. a deathmatch with pistols only).
  • The Xbox 360 controller is compatible with the PC version.
