High speed stunt. The game now employs a blur effect when the vehicule being driven starts to reach its top speeds.

Maybe they mean pressing your head against the monitor?

I find it's a great game; you should definetely play it. While not much to go by, I posted some quick impressions here.

Resident Evil spoof in San Fierro.

You need to post impressions soon, magical Llyranor. Still hooked on San Andreas. I've just finished working as a valet and done up Zero's missions. Next up - race tracks!

Nice pic The closest I have come to piloting helicopters was in Zero's New Model Army mission where C.J. has to control a miniature heli (shown below) to help Zero reach his rival's fortress.

Spot the Rockstar collectibles - Tommy Vercetti and Manhunt action figures!

The RC Red Baron spreads terror in San Fierro!

Many thanks for the very nice suggestions, both Shadowstrider and Soulseeker (

My deepest sympathies.

With all the recent tech talk in the GeForce thread, I was wondering if anyone with a fair knowledge of motherboards could recommend me a motherboard and processor combo. I currently have an ASUS A7V8X motherboard with an AMD Athlon Thoroughbred processor with ~1.35 GHz (which can be tweaked up to 1.8 and 2.2~Ghz). What I'm looking for is a motherboard that can still house my ATI Radeon X800 Pro with a corresponding 8x AGP slot, but that it also features a PCI-Express slot so I won't have to switch to another mobo if I feel like upgrading my graphics card. In processing terms, I was thinking of something in the 3Ghz department, probably Pentium as I hear it's stable and I prefer stability to speed. Since I can't really go for anything right now I'd appreciate if the suggestions were made considering that I'll only be able to buy any recommendation in the near future, something ranging between two to six months. Thanks for any help.

Not a typo - a whole new franchise!

This is a fun indicator of just how screwed up pedestrians are in San Andreas, even more than in past games. They tend to be a bit more aggressive and vindictive; oftentimes you'll find some driver chasing your and even ramming against your car because earlier you had collided against his. Pedestrians also can leave cars and come with golf clubs and bats after players or NPCs who crashed against them. I took this picture because I saw a gathering at the end of a highway leading into San Fierro. There's a granny in a car trapped between two other cars, and there's a guy on top of her car hitting it with a golf club The granny eventually comes out but is beaten to death with a baseball bat by a guy in a car who had crashed against hers. Meanwhile, after the granny gets turned into elderly pulp, a policeman comes up, shoots the guy who assaulted the granny and goes away. I turn the radio on and drive away.

If you were expecting any other kind of reply from such a self-explanatory statement, then you'll have to look elsewhere. If you want to find out why some people favor one over the other I'm sure someone will be more than happy to satisfy your curiosity; I would do it if I wasn't pretty bored of having the same discussion time and again. But outright stating you aren't bothered by it doesn't really beg for much for discussion since your mind is apparently set.

Because you are a different person and as such approach things differently. That'll be 10

And I wouldn't be surprised that it would turn up to be more interesting than Radiant AI, which in itself doesn't seem to be a whole much better than what Gothic II already did concerning NPC reactions.

Beating up people with a double edged ****. Fo' real an' all.

Nope, no dual-core CPUs. Just asking for simple CPUs.

A Minish Cap and a Cane of Somaria.

How I made my millions.

I'd recommend William Gibson's Sprawl Trilogy (Neuromancer, Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive) and a short story compilation of his entitled Burning Chrome. Also, Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon and Snow Crash.

Speaking of which are there any know issues involving the simultaneous AMD chipsets and ATi cards?

Damn straight.

I've had my fair share of good and bad ATi experiences. I've been lucky to get a somewhat stable performance in most games with my X800 Pro but then some things just bring it down. I still can't play my copy of Half-Life 2 without it overheating to the point of forcing the PC to restart itself. Sid Meier's Pirates! also suffered from a handful of lockups and overheating schisms. On the other hand I've only had Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas share similar problems once and I've been playing non stop for a couple of days.

O R00FLES?
