I landed this stunt near the beginning of the year and wasn't sure if it was old or not. Ive seen it landed in SAiVC but I wanted to know if its been done in SA.


Possible Old Stunt

Well when I try to change my avatar here on the forums whether its through a link or through an upload I always get this error.



Help/information on this would be appreciated.

Hilarious video.

Merkin Tax Cuts (Turbo Tax Contest)

Well I've noticed a slight bug with the auto-aim feature available for controller users. Sometimes the auto-aim will randomly lock onto your own character which then allows anyone near you to be able to hit you perfectly even when they are shooting in a completely different direction. I had teammates kill me when they weren't even shooting at me or near me when the lock on icon was showing up on my character.

The only fix I've found: Use a mouse and keyboard when in /deathmatch.

I started a skin and got the body done but I need somebody to make some nice brakes and do the metal for me.

Yay Toms Guide.


There's a study now claiming that gamers are actually less aggressive towards their friends in a multiplayer environment. Published by the science journal Evolution and Human Behavior, the study suggests that males who play "violent" multiplayer games are far more aggressive with strangers. For gamers who love to frag online, that's really a no-brainer: it seems to be the norm to curse at strangers camping around a super weapon's spawn point (and you know who you are) while remaining civil and somewhat playful in nature with clan members or good friends.

To verify the common knowledge, evolutionary psychologists at the University of Missouri (seemingly) wasted time and money by involving 42 "young men" in a testosterone test using using Epic's classic FPS, Unreal Tournament 2004. The test subjects weren't forced into separate rooms and given various magazines, but were divided into 14 teams of 3 each. The testosterone and cortisol levels were tested before competing against friends (within-group) in rounds of deathmatch, and then after the matches were over. The groups were then tested before and after games played with strangers.

So why are "young males" playing these games in the first place? It's a man juice thing apparently. "We suggest that violent video games appeal to young men because the games tap their evolved motivation to engage in male–male competition and engage the same systems that evolved to allow them to engage in military and political strategizing," the study reports. "The corresponding hypothesis--men will show the testosterone winner effect found with meaningful male–male competition--was partially supported for the between-group tournaments."

For some players, including this one, playing Unreal Tournament 2004 or some other deathmatch game doesn't necessarily mean that they're looking to show some testosterone domination. Games such as UT2K4 can be a stress reliever, a way to rid the tensions and aggravations of the day. What better way is there than to unload a round of rockets on an annoying camper? Honestly, the evolutionary psychologists could have saved time and money by just throwing up a poll on Facebook.

I told this guy I would pay him 25,000 Euros to mow my lawn and to my surprise he actually got on a mower and started "mowing" it.

Afterward he happily drove away on his yellow mower with 25k in his pocket.

Heres a nifty little tutorial for all you computards who use Vegas.


First off Sony Vegas 8.0 only uses 1 core to render media, what this tutorial will do is show you how to give Vegas permission to utilize multiple CPU cores.

Here is what a 256kbps 48000k hz 16-bit audio file looks like when it renders using only 1 core and a Normal priority.




Now heres what that same file looks but this time Vegas is rendering with 2 cores and a High priority.





Not a very big difference but still its something. Keep in mind the more cores Vegas uses while rendering the more the render time will decrease.


So now here is how you improve the render time of any media file.


1. Open Task Manager then select the "Processes" tab.

2. find vegas80.exe (versions vary) in the processes list and right click it.

Now you should see a list with several things on it. The two things we want to work with are the Priority and the Affinity.

So click on the Priority option and you should see something like this.



Make sure the Priority is set to High. ( I highly suggest you do not use Realtime as it may cause problems with your PC)


Now click the Affinity option and you should get something like this.



This is where you can select the processor cores Sony Vegas will use. As you can see Vegas is only uses Core number 2 (CPU 1).
You may have more boxes available depending on how many cores your processor has.

Now simply check the remaining boxes so all cores will be utilized by Vegas.




Easy isn't it?


Well now that Vegas is using multiple cores and a High priority lets try rendering a 1 minute 640x480 MP4 video with Vegas default settings.



As you can see both CPU cores are being utilized and are both maxing out.



Now lets try that same video but using only 1 core and Normal priority.



Now only the second cores is maxing out while the first core is doing absolutely nothing.



The render time using only 1 core and a normal priority was nearly a minute longer than with 2 cores and High priority.


I was even able to watch a DVD quality movie while I rendered the original audio file and only added a very short time to the render but it still rendered faster than 1 core and Normal priority did.




REMEMBER you MUST repeat this process EVERY time you open Sony Vegas otherwise it will revert to using 1 core!!

Well I was trying to take this Lambo from NFS Most Wanted and make it look a little less cartoonish.





What I want to know is do you think it looks less cartoonish and if so how much?

Another article from Tom's Guide.

If you thought the American military would be the end of the world..... you were right.



Boeing announced yesterday that it successfully defeated a ground target using its Advanced Tactical Laser (ATL) aircraft, marking the ship's first air-to-ground, high-power laser engagement. If the news sounds like something out of science-fiction, think again: Boeing has actually mounted a fully-loaded laser cannon on an airplane. This means that the military could potentially have access to a weapon that can annihilate the enemy without the collateral damage caused by rockets and bombs.

"During the test, the C-130H aircraft took off from Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M., and fired its high-power chemical laser through its beam control system while flying over White Sands Missile Range, N.M," Boeing announced in this press release. "The beam control system acquired the ground target -- an unoccupied stationary vehicle -- and guided the laser beam to the target, as directed by ATL's battle management system. The laser beam's energy defeated the vehicle."

Boeing said that the ATL team plans to conduct additional tests to demonstrate the weapon's capabilities for the military, showing off its destructive vaporizing power for conduct missions on the battlefield and in urban operations.

Gary Fitzmire, vice president and program director of Boeing Missile Defense Systems' Directed Energy Systems unit, said that the weapon performed extremely well during the test, and that its three main components--the high-energy chemical laser, beam control system and battle manager--worked correctly in unison to provide an effective laser beam.

Well I installed a fresh copy of Windows XP and now I have these weird weapon icons.

Any help will be appreciated.

A pretty interesting article on the PS3 slim I found on Toms Guide. Unfortunately I cant post the full article which includes comparison videos.

The new PS3 Slim certainly is thinner and lighter than the outgoing original launch form factor PS3, but has the new packaged gained any athleticism thanks to its new build?

If the results from a user-performed test are to believed, the PS3 Slim is slower than the old model when it comes to system boot times and loading of Blu-ray Disc movies, but the newer console comes out ahead when it's time to game.

A limited edition Metal Gear Solid 4 80 GB PlayStation 3 was pitted against one of the new 120 GB PS3 Slims. The older PS3 held a significant 7 second lead in terms of Blu-ray movie loading, while the new PS3 Slim loaded Batman: Arkham Asylum just a couple seconds quicker.

Well I made my biggest TXD mod yet. Its not completely done but I'll have it released soon.

Well I'm back. Still moving but only for about 2 more weeks. I like the new site and features and I'm glad to be back.

I wont be on for some time and Im not sure how long it will be because Im moving tomorrow.

So I'll see you guys whenever I find an ISP that will give service where Im moving to.

This is 11 minutes long.
