Live Feed to GTA IV Gameplay

Some dude just farts around with the game. Looks like he has the game and is playing it.

Maybe he’s a beta tester?

Maybe he’s the son of someone big?

Could be a pirate - I do not know - but here is the feed.

But from the rag doll effects and how the assaulted ball up and gets knocked out and how they knock out when falling from short heights, or how the driver’s door flings open during front end impact and the driver squirts out… HOLY CRAP!

Get your PlayStation 3s now, get your Xbox 360 cooled, and I mean way cooled because this game is gonna stress it.

Looks funner than any other GTA I have ever seen. So clear and the city is so huge.

The motorcycle sounded kinda electronic; maybe it was because it was in a flash feed. I dunno.

But man, that guy just crumples when he wrecks - nowhere near the identical flips and rolls from the predecessors.

This game is GTA all over again. Very well done.

I see Jack breaking all laws to try and sue for this. Watch live video from sculay’s channel on Justin.tv.

GTA IV Early Release?

I have doubts, but what the hell?

Here is a link where people are talking about where or how to locate an early release.

From what I understand, all early releases aren’t real, and loaded with brand new unidentified viruses.

Good luck scanning them.

Early GTA IV

Jack Thompson is stalking?

Looks like he is chasing down little old ladies  and bothering them.

From what i get, he is telling them  how to live and how they raised their children poorly.

or is he just chasing teh lawsuite bus?

MySpace and Media Content Upgrade

What was leaked… became. But no one got excited.

I assume the excitement was killed from overanticipation.

Well they are creating a music service from 4 record labels and maybe more.

[CNET: As expected, MySpace unveils new music service]

Executives from MySpace officially announced the creation of MySpace Music, a service that will be jointly operated by News Corp.’s MySpace and, at least initially, three out of the four top record labels.

[Podcast: Buzz Out Loud 696: So Say We All]

Earth Day at Google?

“We’ve turned the lights out. Now it’s your turn - Earth Hour.”

Looks a little black.

I know everyone requested it a couple years ago, but really.

I don’t much care for it. It’s a false statement to say it uses less electricity to make the screen black. Your frickin’ monitor is still on!

jPod Goes Download

jPod, the television show based on the novel by Douglas Coupland, was canceled; all the fans like me know this . If you do not know this already, see what Kam Fong wrote.

The question is, ‘who is their advertiser?’ and what kind of server.

Joost could end up the host of this, but i have my doubts, since the advertisements have been reduced to near none on jooost these day. wouldn’t be much profit in that means of distro. Rev3 could really use something like this and the attention that comes with it.

With a show like jPod you really couldn’t expect anything less than a “Hey we do not need mainstream media anymore, there is plenty money in the internet now” kind of mind set.

We shall see what comes of this.

Working On “Her” Computer

Well it seems the lady has come into a few cooties.

She has an xps m1210 laptop.

Since neither of us know just how long the stuff has been on her machine or where or how they all got there, I believe it would be in her best interest if we just back up everything that is important and whip out the reinstall discs. Easy? lol. Newp. No chance. Seems back when she got the computer she lived elsewhere with someone else and obtaining the drivers discs and o/s and all teh bundled software discs had to include a spy. Her little sister had to sneak the border and play friendlies… Now she snuck out with the baggy thing that all the discs are in which of course no one there claims to have seen. We have done some searches and find that one disc on the bag, is not for this laptop that we are about to work on. Ok. Now we have all the discs.

The hard part is deciding what to do after we install everything and well, does the sister go back and act like nothing happened? ( I mean this is a close as family issue, I am not in the family so I have to step back) I am thinking of burning the discs as a back up and bundling some jacked up progs with it.. but will they hate me for it?

well whatever

Ok So now the back up is not going so well. I have been to virustotal ,virscan.org and jotti’s a million times and man, I keep finding malware in everything she wants to backup. I am half tempted to just format and cross my fingers and lie like a dog. I am getting sick of each time they find stuff in the files I end up having to delete them anyway because they are beyond repair. Meanwhile I have a million more files to scan…one by one….. It’s hardly worth it. Then again she is fricken hot and I know what I am doing.
Well I also looked around and saw that ubuntu installs pretty good on this particular model. If I can assure her that open office is just as good as microsoft office/works then I got it made! I wouldn’t have to delete anything!
Tell you what, I will do something with this pretty machine and post it here later ;)

Gas Money Saving Gadgets and tips

I am so upset with gas prices right now, Heck I even made a bumper sticker.

As you can see, I wasted a little bit of time while at work today. But the main goal was to see if I can find a mod for my car that would allow me to reduce my consumption of fuel. Everything is getting so frickin costly these days and the value of a dollar is down so dang far. why are people not getting paid more yet? You hear of these stupid monster sized oil companies who report extreme profits. Go to the nearest gas station that you know has an employee working there that has been in the cashier spot for more than two or three years. Ask that cashier if they are making anything better than what they where making back when gas prices where less than half what they are now. The answer will be no. Clearly it will be no. The place where you sell the most price rising necessity and the c.o. group does not even lay some relief on their cashiers.

Sure you can tell yourself “it’s their fault for getting a crummy job”. That statement or thought makes you a worthless piece of $%^& !!!!!! Do not judge someone by your standards, your standards are not what make the world. And if they did, no one would be standing there to sell you gas or listen to you cry about it. Now leave the cashier alone before the word “postal” gets renamed.

Ok enough with that rant.  Let’s see what it is that we need.

In my theory if we could increase horse power without a physical modification other than software or a simple trick Then we are in the right direction. I drive a 40o+ v8 car that gets me to work three days 18 miles away, per tank of gas. So I need a simple trick to try that makes it less fuel bogging to increase my power. See I figure if I can do that, then it will not take as much gas to get me going. Getting going is the roughest part.

What I found
How To Save Money on Gas

FUEL Alternatives

Very Well stated methods to saving gas
Use water not gas? are these dudes mental?…. we can live without gas!

more stuff to read -This thing looks retarded

“The Elektro-Karb is a high-performance electronic device.

Its precisely-made parts, the Frequency Generator,

Harmonic Resonance Cavity, Waveguide and “Elektrol”

Economizer all work in close harmony to produce powerful

and efficient sonic vaporization ” <— bs useless mumbo

jumbo. harmonic resonance cavity? means it’s hollow… right?

saves gas?

“Tight supplies and high prices for natural gas are

likely to boost home energy bills for air conditioning

and electricity in summer and heating in winter”

Gas saving rules to live by

“Always have your car tuned-up regularly.
Maintain a steady rate when driving you car.
Schedule buying your gas during the cool hours
Close you car windows when you are driving on the highway.
Minimize the use of air conditioners
Lessen your car’s load.
heck if tires inflated accordingly”

There are a million and one links when you do a search, but nothing really worth using except i think two sop far and they just tell you to take off slow and steady and not go past 60mph. To me that is the best advice out there I guess I was looking for some magical metal thing I bolt on somewhere that makes my gas mileage better. I do not see that, no where. But I do look. I do not want to downsize anything I have or restrict anything infact I would like to be less restrictive so air and fuel flow easier, hopefully causing less need for use of at least one of those two resources.

There does not seem to be any legit techy device out there as of yet.

Hasn’t happened yet, guess I will park the machine and get a ricer fart car dooshmobile.
