Can I make a suggestion to everyone....

Put some idea of what you are asking before using the spoiler tag. Just the slightest indication will go a long way.

For example...

So in The 3 Leaf Clover Mission, and put the rest of the text that would actually be considered a spoiler in here.

Putting an entire reply in a spolier thread severely limits the amount of responses you will get, and also makes it to tempting for people not to read since they have no idea what you are talking about, almost defeating the purpose of the spoiler tag itself.

Yes Sir!

Who got laid on the first date?

In regards to my first date, I did get laid. Correct big daddy larry?

I get noticeable slow downs quite often. Infact 3 or 4 times the game has, for a millisecond, stalled. lucky it has never frozen completely for me. I also get horrible pop up sometimes I'll be driving and an object will popup right in front of me. it seems to be getting worse the more I play.

I have had no noticeable frame-rate issues or pop-up issues, so all those claims have been blown way out of proportion.

( BenQ ;) )

I am getting both pretty damn bad to be honest. How do I check what Drive model I have??

Try doing the system maintenance thing. That may have something to do with it. Really there are no problems here, I think my drive is Samsung.

How does one run system maintenance??

And Im sure getting laid does not even qualify for spoiler tags :p

To clear the cache on the Xbox 360 do the following:

* Go to the Xbox Dashboard, select the System Blade, and select Memory.

* Highlight the HD symbol and press Y.

* Press X, X, Left Bumper, Right Bumper, X, X.

So how do cheats screw up the achievements for the Xbox 360?

When you activate a cheat it will prevent you attaining a certain achievement: http://kotaku.com/387454/stuck-on-gta-iv-t...ats-you-cheater

Oh and I just finished the story line with 0 mission fails :D 0506082035im3.th.jpg

Well, it's time for multiplayer, for those that have a Xbox 360 hit me up, my gamertag is LiteralShip

**EDIT**

I have experience some lag but only when I have 6 stars on my ass :D and my Xbox 360 has the Hitachi drive.

Take them to burger shot and you're golden :p

@BlackShadow, well done, i was on to a 0 mission fail, until one stupid mission which i kept messing up on. I even did the missions that people consider difficult first time.

Which mission was that? I had trouble on a few but I was able to make it :) (Too bad there's no achievement for achieving such a difficult task hehe)

I got an Xbox & GTA IV question so I thought I would combine them here.

Ive been trying to set up my 360 on a Sony KE-32TS2E plasma. I connected the supplied leads to the component inputs on the back and it switched to HD. But no matter what setting I used, 720p 1080i on the xbox, the picture wasnt perfect. Mostly you can see this faint white shadow on text and I cant make it go away. It does look alot better than using my Panasonic CRT but still, HD should be HD, shouldnt it?

Secondly, in regards to GTA IV and this is just me. When the game auto saves at certain points, is the save music supposed to sound like its been cut off? It sounds like its fragmented, like a skipping CD.

    • Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.
    • YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

    • So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
