GTA IV Downloadable Content Idea Dropped?
These guys have some idea that the world of gaming has rules that are written in the souls and blood of man.
I think the DLC can happen, just not the way they think it will.
Why else would the game have been delayed like it was?

Video Of Multiplayer Version Of GTA IV
Well if you have been wondering how it works and how it looks.
Let’s look at what IGN thinks about GTA IV
The Odds of GTA IV On PC
We all want to know ” Will Grand Theft Auto IV come to the computer?”
Let’s look at the odds by looking at the past games that have come out.
Grand Theft Auto and GTA2 came out on PC before they came out on console. GTAIII changed the pattern with it’s release for the Sony Playstation. Grand Theft Auto 3 and the Rockstar and take two families allowed the console gamers to get first crack at the world of Liberty City. The game makers just dropped them into a world of free roam with nothing but their thumbs mashing the controls, doing things that people used to do with all ten fingers. Right away, issues became noticed. The problems where stuff like the A.I. would lose control or just get stuck on simple obstacles they could have just walked around. Users also noticed what is called “pop-ins.” A ‘pop-in’ is when you are moving through this world, then suddenly a bush or a bridge just appears from nowhere, “bam, now it’s just right there” and it was not there a second ago. So Rockstar games amazed everyone with the announcement of GTAIII for the PC. The PC version had a better draw distance and I.A. was tweaked. The question is, did they make a PC version just to shut people up and make more sells?
Grand Theft Auto Vice city came out for the PS2 before it came out for the computer game players. There wasn’t any announcement of a PC version until two months before it’s release. Again, the game was tweaked and looked better on the PC. In my opinion, Vice City was a duller game than GTAIII since Rockstar stripped so much out of the GTAIII engine that it removed most of the ambiance. The items removed where all atmosphere and did bog down consoles and video cards. Nowadays, computers and consoles are finally strong enough to handle that much stress. Again, I ask “Did they make the PC version just to sell more of the same game, even to repeated customers?”
San Andreas, they never even told us it would come out for the computer. While working on San Andreas to be released for the computer (nearly a year after the console version), Rockstar games was also working on Liberty City Stories.
Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories where first announced to be created exclusively for a portable gaming console called “playstation portable,” aka PSP. Six months after both were released, news was announced both would be released for the Playstation2. Neither one have yet to be released for the PC.
So far, there is no announcement of a Grand Theft Auto IV coming out for the personal computer. This next game is now set back to be released on April 29th of this year. If things would have been on schedule (agreements with console makers, etc.), the once again revisit to Liberty City would have been on time, and we would have already heard the news about a computer version. Since the console version was delayed, could it be that the PC version’s news was also delayed, or pushed to be released one year from the original release date of the console version?
Since we have not received a PC version of Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories, nor any news of GTAIV on anything but Xbox360 and Playstation3, I can only expect that Rockstar games would much rather put the “Stories” games and San Andreas out for the Wii console. Long before we will ever see a PC version of any, especially the newest.

E.A. puts in bid to buy out Take Two Interactive
The owners of the Rockstar franchise and game, Grand Theft Auto have been offered a multi-billion dollar offer from E.A. to buy them.
So again, we see a similar but smaller, attempted, hostile take over. The same as we saw in the attempt of Yahoo purchase from Microsoft.
Take Two said “No, We are worth more.”

Kevin And Alex Set Women Right
I am sure we have all come into this situation, well I know I have at least five times in the past ten years.
The current girlfriend walks in while you are booting up the game that you have been wanting to play all week. This is your first day off in a week and you have been wanting to play this game, you have set today aside for this game. The girlfriend when she walks in says “come on let’s go I have to buy some lotion for my mom and my sister and I have to go pay my cell phone bill and I was hoping we could go have lunch at Outback”. You tell her in your whiny boyfriend voice ” but I wanna play a game”. You see the vein shoot up in her forehead because some clown she used to date blah blah blah or her brother blah blah blah. Now mind you I have broken up with at least four girls because of this situation and am about to do it again.
She tells you that what you are doing is unproductive and what she wants to do is actually productive. You have no response that would keep your relationship good, but many that would piss her off pretty bad. So you say nothing and hit the pause button while your brain scrambles to make her see what you want her to see. Does not matter she will not understand. You are truly with the wrong person.
Here, watch this.

Upgraded Linux Xandros To 4
I was using Xandros 3.4 for over a year. I purchased my disk from Fry’s electronics for like $29.
Well I saw in all of the help forums for modding of Xandros desktops and boot screens tons of help but it was all for 4.0 so I installed 4.0 . It really looks good and comes with a blue launch button as opposed to the default red I had to use with v3.4 . Quite nice. I changed the start button to a modified that I found through the links of the Xandros forum. with 3.4 when you changed the launch button you kept getting a notice to upgrade service pack, even if you already have. When you do the service pack upgrade it changes your launch button back to default. but with 4.0 , no you do not get forced into the change. Nice addon I like this.
When I installed wine again, not a hiccup one. Not one issue. It went great. My Grand Theft Auto Vice City and San Andreas both play nicely and my III does not freeze up on the video configuration like it did with 3.4.
I am happy with 4.0 it was a very good move.
I was there at Fry’s to actually by a new motherboard and nvidia video card so I could prepare myself for Vista. Thank god I did not get into that mess. Xandros is really good. I did of course remove my Ubuntu partition. Ubuntu is not pleasant at all. Even though Ubuntu is Debian just like Xandros; it does not come close in comparison to Xandros with features. I am satisfied and I hope this helped you decide what you will do to you computer.
enjoy.
