Help with SAMI.
I know san andreas is an old game but I'm getting bored of GTA IV. So I bought GTA SA for the PC and since I thought it would be fun to try to mod it out. You know? Well I was told to try SAMI. Well I downloaded sami then some mods. But, the thing is it won't let me. It says I need to get them in script files or something. Can someone please help me?

Gaming and The Philosophy of Poo.
As a silly as a bum full of Tic-Tacs weekend blogs go, and linking with my previous post about the guy with the nut stuck on his "member" (as this is the Members Page), I thought I'd expand on MY experiences as a Nurse. I advocate general health, and as the old saying we nurses had goes: "If you don't eat, you don't s**t, and if you don't s**t you die". Serious health implications here, especially considering the news of gamers dying from long periods on MMO's. Truth is, they forgot to go to the loo. So to my philosophy.
We all enjoy a good motion...c'mon admit. In Ancient Greece, Priests would even look at it (as we all do) to divine the future. Well from some of what I've seen, the future looks pretty bleak. Anyway, guys can have a seat on the porcelain driving wheel and, after the first 10 seconds of shock (and it is shock), we can read a magazine or newspaper from cover-to-cover without noticing the smell. The next guy in however will think he's been hit by a Poo bat, and a woman will be cut in half, but the point is the business is done. You're much healthier and a few kilos lighter. But still we get embarassed about it. Even animals do. Look at dogs; even they hunker down like they're rootin' a cricket ball.
So, in summary, when gaming for long periods it's likely we may forget to attend to certain serious bodily needs. My advice is to have a clock by your PC, Console whatever and take a break every twenty minutes if only to stretch your legs. You may notice your body telling you its' hungry, tired, thirsty or that you need to mount the thunderbox and purge like it's going out of fashion and you're a new trend-setter. It's not just your rig you need to keep in good running order you know. It all comes under the auspices of good gaming. So play hard, but look after yourself while you do.
Cheerio.

Starcraft II System Recommendations and Requirements...the Good, the Bad, and well that's it.
Some guys (and maybe gals) are wondering what the system specs for Starcraft II are, and even though it is not due for release until mid-09, it might give gamers time to do some necessary upgrades. So here they are:

Firstly, your soul, and half your daily living requirements...including any relationships you might have - with anyone. Ohhhh, the PC requirements...sorry.

Minumum Requirements
GFX: GeForce 7/8 Series or Radeon 1000/2000 with 256 MB RAM
CPU: Pentium 4 (that's the Pentium D)
RAM: 1 GB
Internet: ADSL 1 Mbit

Recommended Requirements
GFX: GeForce 8000 or Radeon 2000 series with 512 MB RAM
CPU: Core 2 Duo or Athlon X2.
RAM: 2 GB
Internet: ADSL 3 Mbit

Blizzard are also doing doing a deal with AMD, the details of which are yet to become clear for the Intel and Nvidia gamer. I know this not good news for a lot gamers out there, but as I said you have plenty of time to consider an upgrade or three.

Falcon 4.0 Allied Force
In the Training Section I want to Take Off from Amendola (the home base) and fly to other air bases using the Channel Codes ie..039x, 111x, 49x and so on. I've tried to enter these #'s, then switch to TR, then switch to Back Up. I go to the Tacan Receiver and nothing shows up except the pre-set Amendola Steerpoints. Please explain step by step how to enter the Channel Codes in the Tacan Receiver in order to fly to other airports. The pdf. manual in the software only explains how to use the Tacan Receiver for making an ILS approach. It dosen't explain how to navigate by just flying to other bases.

For The Emperor
Time has not been kind to the Imperium. We are a rough empire now, ruled by the council of Terra, the council that once doomed us all and allowed our great lord to lie ruined and broken on his Golden Throne.

We sons of Medusa will never allow the spawn of Chaos to rule our galaxys, we shall stand against them where ever they are found.
For Ferrus Manus.
By The Iron Hands!

FOR THE EMPEROR!

Man gets nut stuck around penis: report.
""A Malaysian welder had to have a nut removed from around his penis after an attempt to lengthen it before he gets engaged next week went embarrassingly wrong.
The nut got stuck on his penis following an erection, the Star newspaper reported, forcing him to seek help at a hospital in southern Johor state.
Staff from the Sultanah Aminah hospital had to drain some blood from the penis and cut away a top layer of skin before the object could be removed, the newspaper said.
It said the fire and rescue department were also involved in trying to remove the nut from the unnamed welder, who is in his 20s and hoped the nut would weigh down his penis to make it longer.
"The patient is now recovering and we hope to discharge him today (Sunday)," hospital director Daud Abdul Rahim told the Star.
On August 25, another young man in Kuala Lumpur had tried to increase his sexual prowess by slipping a steel ring around his penis, forcing the fire department to cut off the ring after doctors were unable to remove it, the newspaper said.""

Sorry if you felt that one guys...made me wince. When I was working in Emergency as a Nurse in the '80's I had a guy come in on a Sunday morning (the night after his wedding). He had his wedding ring on the wrong finger...yeah that one. Purple face, purple... Had to cut it off with a ring cutter, while keeping a steady hand and a straight face.
I just have one comment: ROFL!!!!!

"C&C: Red Alert" goes free...and "GoW2" for PC goes Bye-Bye.
To help celebrate the thirteenth anniversary of Command & Conquer: Red Alert, Electronic Arts has announced that Westwood Studio's classic real-time strategy title will be available as a free download.
The game will be available on the house via the Red Alert 3 website from August 31 (12:00 AM Pacific Time), though EA has not indicated how long the download will be available for.
Before you sample the goods of Red Alert 3, why not go back to where it all began and take a look at the cheesy FMV in all of its glory in Red Alert this weekend?

In other gaming news, lead designer at Epic Games, Cliff Bleszinski has stated that there will definitely NOT be a PC port of "Gears of War 2". Wonder if the hate mail he gets might change his mind. Somehow I don't think so. Bungie did this with Halo 3 and it wasn't a big loss for PC gamers. This one, however just might hit a bit below the belt. Bad Epic, bad!

Jack the Ripper....a Man About (my home) Town?
According to recent news, there may be more in my hometown of Brisbane than several Games Developers. I just live down the road from the cemetery mentioned, so I might just go for a look-see.

""A Brisbane cemetery may be the resting place of one of the most notorious homicide suspects of all time, Jack the Ripper.
On the eve of the 120th anniversary of the first of the murders of five prostitutes in London's Whitechapel area, keen Ripperologists have made the chilling claim he could be buried at Toowong Cemetery, in Brisbane's west.
They claim the man they think was Jack the Ripper was Walter Thomas Porriott, known to police as Andrew John Gibson.
The headstone where he was buried in 1952 does not even mention his name.
Instead it reads: "Bessie" died 25th June 1957 and her husband.
A grainy image on the headstone, depicting a caped-man raising a dagger, adds to the mystery.
Porriott was a convicted killer and fraudster who had 20 wives and was buried at Toowong Cemetery beside his last wife Eliza, known as "Bessie".
He lived in London when all five murders were committed and sailed to Australia after the murders stopped.
The latest Brisbane theory is one of hundreds about the identity of the never caught killer, who went on a brutal rampage through London for five months in 1888...
..Porriott joins Frederick Deeming, who was hanged in Melbourne in 1892 for killing his wife, as the other Australian link to the Jack the Ripper mystery.
Deeming went to the gallows claiming he was Jack the Ripper.""

afdoende advies
De chauffeur van de bus met feyenoordsperlers stopte op de plantage middenlaan in amsterdam. Hij was de weg naar "De meer"(oud ajax-stadion) totaal bijster. Ook geen van de spelers kon hem met zekerheid zeggen hoe hij het stadion van ajax kon bereiken. Vooral een paar omleidingen in de hoofdstad hadden hem in verwaring gebracht.
Ed van goey stapte uit. hij zou de juiste weg wel aan een welwillend uitziende amsterdamse voorbijganger vragen. 'meneer, hoe kom ik bij ajax' was zijn vraag. De wandelaar herkende de feyenoorder onmiddellijk en adviseerde:'trainen jongen,.... trainen, trainen en nog eens trainen.'

F.E.A.R...not!
In my previous post I failed to mention the next full game based on the "F.E.A.R." franchise. "F.E.A.R.", the sequel, is called "Project Origin", for those who still aren't aware. Monolith couldn't call it "F.E.A.R. 2" as Sierra, the original publishers, own the rights to that title. The other two titles that were proposed for the follow-up were "Dead Echo" and "Dark Signal". This was part of a competition run by Monolith for gamers to enter a title for their new game and these three titles were the final contenders. As we all see, "Project Origin" won out over the other two.
I did not include it in my must-have or query-have lists as "F.E.A.R." is such a one-off, meshing elements of horror, the supernatural with conspiracy and military action. The two expansions are questionable for their necessity, with the last, "Perseus Mandate" really only for die-hards.
Yes "Project Origin" will have vehicle combat in SP and MP, and the graphics engine has been "buffed-up". However, the uniqueness of the first title cannot be repeated in my opinion. From what I've seen and read so far, I can't shake the feeling that there will be a "I've been here before" voice going off in my head while playing. It also depends on how console-affected the game will be. As it will be a cross-platform release, PC gamers might just draw the short straw, as is the case with many gamers concerned with "Far Cry 2".
This is definitely a "wait-and-see" title for me.

Falcon 4.0 Allied Force
I am confused on the number of patches out for this flight sim, Allied Force. Will the sim function OK out of the box? If I'm only interested in the flying of the F-16, like: take off, flying around, navigation, landing at other bases, and of course...landing ... will I need all of the patches that are available? I think there are 14 now. Thanks in advance ... Lites

Random Thought for the Day !?!
If the river were games,
And I was a Trout;
I'd sink to the bottom,
And never come out!

So with Leipzig and the WWI wrapped up, what are the games that have you in a sweat? Some will be hotly anticipated for release date, others might be able to wait. The Promos are hitting from all directions, so it looks like the final countdown for the end of the drought has begun.For me, my choices would be, and in no particular order:
- Tom Clancy's Endwar
- Starcraft II
- Diablo III
- Empire: Total War
- Call of Duty: World At War
- C&C: Red Alert 3
- Dawn of War II
- Sins of a Solar Empire expansion

Maybes would be:
- Far Cry 2 (blow things up in Africa...yeah baby)
- Crysis: Warhead (heaps more guns and a psychotic hero)
- S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky (if it's better than the Trailers)
- Fallout 3 (depending on how much it is censored)
- Warhammer Online (will it shake the MMORPG world as promised?)

And for all those who enjoy Supreme Commander, they're should be further news coming about Chris Taylor's latest offering "Demigod". Should be interesting to see how he can move on from the TA formula that has served so well, if he does at all.

New Company of Heroes expansion revealed?
"With a product listing appearing on Amazon earlier today, speculation is mounting that another expansion to Relic's WWII RTS title Company of Heroes is in the works.
"The listed release date of March 1, 2009 suggests that the game - which is titled Tales of Valor is an expansion rather than a full blown sequel to the series, as Relic is currently hard at work putting together the next title in their popular sci-fi RTS series Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2, which is due to arrive in early 2009.
"The listing for Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor also lists a US price point which is identical to that of the previous Company of Heroes expansion Opposing Fronts, again making it seem more likely that it is another expansion.
"At this time neither THQ or Relic has offered an official comment on the rumour"
-PALGN

Great news for those still playing CoH (my hand's up). I've read the rumours on several sites now, though I wonder what third party developer could give justice to the franchise. Ironlore made a right hash of the last Dawn of War outing before they folded, so if it is true I certainly hope it's someone who will stay around to support the product...and they bring something new to the party. In addition, Starcraft II might just have surfaced by then and all of us RTS guys will be a tad busy zerging Protoss.

10 Dumb Things users do that can mess up their computers.
Not saying PC Users/ Gamers are dumb, but some of the things we do or neglect to do are pretty well...dumb. So for the weekend I thought I'd just give a quick list. I have to admit to falling trap to one or several of these over time...still. So here they are, in no particular order:

1/ Plug into the wall without surge protection
2/ Surf the Internet without a firewall
3/ Neglect to run or update antivirus and anti-spyware programs
4/ Install and uninstall lots of programs, especially betas
5/ Keep disks full and fragmented
6/ Open all attachments
7/ Click on everything
8/ Share and share alike (folder sharing in particular)
9/ Pick the wrong passwords
10/ Ignore the need for a backup and recovery plan

Most are self-explanatory, some perhaps not. I could expand on each comment but that would take volumes. Nervous newbies are often fearful that one wrong move might break the computer forever. Luckily, short of taking a sledge hammer to the box, the consequences aren’t usually quite that dire. Of course, we were all newbies once so please feel free to add to the list:)

More Sales and Mergers...is future gaming being decided behind closed doors?
On Massive's Website (the makers of "World in Conflict" and the "Ground Control" series) there is some disturbing news. With the merger of Activision and Blizzard there were bound to be acquisitions, sales and mergers but while the companies reap the financial rewards, we gamers are left wondering what will happen to the game we have payed good money for. It was recently announced that Activision had acquired Vivendi from Sierra, but now this from Leipzig:

"Speaking exclusively to VG247, Massive Entertainment’s senior execs have revealed that they’re already in talks for a potential sale of the World in Conflict developer, following now-confirmed news that Activision is to sell the outfit as a result of its merger with Blizzard.
"He added: “Being a part of a merger like this is a strange situation, because obviously the new organisation has to look over all of its assets, everything it owns and its strategy for the future. For the past six month’s we’ve been waiting for the merger to go through and to understand whether they see us as a part of their future or not."

So the purchase of Publishing companies by the bigger corporations is generally good news for gamers, but then when they sell-off development studios we are uncharted terrritory. I know its' been a fact of life forever, but it comes as a recent development for gamers. With the confusion that players of "Hellgate London" experienced recently as to their future, and the Servers for "Fury" closing down permanently I find it all a little unnerving.
What will be the future support for a game (like "DoW:Soulstorm": none)?
Are the Servers permanent?
Serious questions that really need to be answered.

World's first eye-shaped camera!
Following on with the theme of biological "bits" started by Zerk. Check this out. Researchers in the United States have used 'simple mechanics principles' to create this breakthrough technology, paving the way for distortion-free digital and video cameras for the first time.
It's the size and shape of a human eye, but instead of leaving what we see up to our imaginations, the world's first curved electronic 'eye' camera will allow us to capture distortion-free images.

"Animal eyes are naturally curved for capturing images, but up to now artificial vision systems have been limited to flat image-recording surfaces...Current digital cameras routinely cram more than 10 million pixels into an image, but have not overcome the long-standing problem of distortion created by a flat imager."
- news.com.au

According to British journal "Nature", this new technology also points the way for future devices that could restore sight. Now imagine that connected to a USB port as an extension of your trigger finger on thew mouse. Sniper nOObs beware!!!

Artificial intelligence not so artificial...
Following on from Zerk's Post about Biological PC's, scientists from the University of Reading unveiled the world's first robot controlled by living brain tissue on Wednesday.
Gordon, as the robot has been named, is being used to explore the fundamental building blocks of memory and learning, according to one of the researchers.

"Observing how the nerve cells cohere into a network as they fire off electrical impulses, he said, may also help scientists combat neurodegenerative diseases that attack the brain such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
"If we can understand some of the basics of what is going on in our little model brain, it could have enormous medical spinoffs," he said."
- SMH

Gordon, with his brain made up of cultured rat neurons, is able to learn by habit. His 'brain' is housed in a special temperature-controlled unit, which is controlled via Bluetooth. Through this robot, scientists are much closer to determining how memories are actually stored in a biological brain.

Biological PC's
there is a possibility of a Biological PC,not in the Since of using Guts and Brains for CPU's or Selling Brains instead of GPU's,but it the way of using liquid instead of wires, whats the benefits,,,

Saves energy consumption, by about 30%, by improving voltage circulation and preventing the unnecessary overheating of electric appliances.

Insulates and improves performance of electrical components in appliances.

Eliminates the dangers of electric shocks to human beings or animals that come into contact with them, including residential electric currents of 230 volts.

Makes electrical materials fire-resistant.

Serves as an anti-rusting agent.

And would be a Synthetic like liquid not Bloody.

so its Faster Cooler more Energy efficient and like Intel's new Nehalem/i7 CPU's would be Scalable,but only a Spec problem Not Programmable,needing integration with Biological Memory to,witch would be the equivalent of something like DDR600, and the CPU itself would run somewhere in the 1 to 2 THz Rang, meaning 1,000GHz to 2,000Ghz, and would be so fast no Duel or Quad would be necessary, and HT would be almost infinite, Fact or Fiction i'm still working on it.But just for a Second Please imagine for a Second, Looking inside your PC and seeing Hair thin Bright Blue lines running through it,But not Needing GPU's CPU's HDD's Ram,it all being integrated like the Human Brain.
thanks for Reading my thoughts so far.

Well let me see
I was appointed my Home Owners Assoications Head of the committee to Xeriscape the WHOLE complex, so you can well imagine what that did to my free time. Free time ah I remember it so well, I could relax, not so much now due to taking on responsibilities. Not that I volunteered mind you, but I did not turn down the voted decision. I could have, but this way at least I know where they are spending my HOA fees and I get and idea of what is happening to the complex.

This I have to assume is what they call real life... I think I would rather be playing WOW... is it November yet???


That is the update from this end of the universe real fun stuff right?

waves to all

GTA IV PC dated for Europe...Australia to follow?
Rockstar has today confirmed what the gaming world has long suspected - Grand Theft Auto IV will indeed be coming to the good old PC, and it will be happening in November.
North America will be the first to receive the port on the 18th, with Europe following shortly after on the 21st. There's been no word of an Australian release date as of yet, but you can be sure it won't be too far behind.
We reviewed Grand Theft Auto IV on the PlayStation 3 when the game was released a few months back, and we thought it was rather good, to say the least.
The game has since gone on to sell lots and lots and lots of copies, and was removed from sale in Thailand earlier this week.

Call of Duty ?
Latest whispers from Infinity Ward, those diabolical baddies from Activision who steal our hearts, souls, minds (and cash) are up to no good again. Which is good for us. Infinity Ward (IW) have announced that they will be solely responsible for developing any Call of Duty numbered titles (CoD2, CoD4 etc) and that the company behind CoD3 (Treyarch) will be just doing the "offcuts" so to speak. So Call of Duty: World at War will NOT be CoD5. IW is already hard at work in development of that title as we speak though as yet there is no word on a setting.
As this is the case, then Treyarch (formerly known as Grey Matter) who made the expansion to the original CoD, should have, in many gamers' opinions made an expansion to CoD4. MP is the enduring fun a gamer gets from the CoD franchise but over 80% of gamers list the SP experience as the first and most important aspect of any good war game (indeed of any genre). If the MP of CoD4 wasn't so good there would be more than a few grumbles about the length (?) of the SP Campaign (two campaigns basically interwoven into one).
What might be the thoughts of you guys and gals?
. Is Single Player important to you in enjoying a game
. Do you think Treyarch should have made an expansion to CoD4 instead of a re-visit to WWII (which the Medal of Honour franchise found to be its' Death Knell)?
