Probably a cool game, but why do people add that "56k warning" crap?

Before I got on broadband, the highest I ever connected at was 48k and that didn't stop me from viewing large pics, in fact I didn't find them to load all that slow at all.

I have a really fast connection now and to be honest, I don't find a whole lot of difference with it compared to 48k on loading pictures and pages.

i found it easiest to drop off the bombs on the top level of the building first and work my way down floor by floor, that way you don't have to go past all the other levels when you are running out of time. Also look at the way the stairs are built, sometimes you can just go straight up skipping a level, rather than following the stairs, if you know what i mean. Those are the only tips that i've got, other than take the thing for a ride around town 1st to get used to flying it :)

funny how we are all stuck here :laugh: I just quit right now after my million time, but I'm getting closer to the goal, more closer to a headache though

Damn! Looks like I'll have to upgrade my vid card some time soon and ditch the Gamecube which I barely play afterall.

For those with "slower" systems - it looks like the GF MX and Radeon 9000 are bare minimum. I'll prob get a Ti 4200 or a Radeon 9500.

can someone help me out here:

in VC on the PS2, couldn't you just run over things to pick them up, or did you have to exit your vehicle and then touch them?

in VC on the PC, i can't just run over things, i have to get out and grab them, and i swear it wasn't that way, but i could be wrong....

Hmm.. .you never could run over things to pick them up in a car in any game, besides polices bribes. I haven't played the PS2 version all that much, so I'm not sure. It is that way in GTA3 though.

It's probably because you need more cash... like 10k or so? I'm not sure...

    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram by Aditya Tiwari Meta announced that its Instagram for TV app has arrived on Samsung TVs in the US as part of its latest expansion, giving users one more way to scroll through Reels. The social media giant often comes under scrutiny for the "addictiveness" of its features, which leads people to spend excessive time on the platform. Interestingly, Instagram boss Adam Mosseri described spending 16 hours on the platform as "problematic use" but not "clinical addiction." Mosseri also compared scrolling on Instagram to binge-watching a show on Netflix. Instagram for TV is now available on Samsung TV models released in 2020 or later. The app is already available on Amazon Fire TV and Google TV in the US, which together account for the majority of connected TV devices. The company said it will test several new features to improve the living room and family experience while using Instagram on the big screen. Watching vertical videos on a big screen isn't something many would be excited about. Probably that's why Meta is testing a dedicated home for horizontal videos. Creators will get the opportunity to design content for TV screens and get more ways to reach audiences, according to Meta. If you found an interesting Reel while doomscrolling on your phone, you'll be able to cast it to your TV. The feature is available for testing on Instagram for TV on Google TV and Amazon Fire TV, and it will also support videos from the Saved tab. Instagram for TV will be testing Channels organized around user interests, across genres such as comedy and sports, as well as content from favorite creators. Moreover, you can watch Stories on your TV. While Instagram is known for short-form videos, it's knocking on more doors to keep the audience hooked. The company said it's exploring new content formats for the big screen, including long-form creator content to cover topics in detail, episodic series to build suspense across multiple episodes, and creator live sessions on TV. All of the new updates put Instagram in competition with established giants like YouTube (and Netflix), which already have a robust presence on the big screen. In recent updates, Instagram added the ability to write an individual caption for each carousel image, manually re-order posts, and a paid version of the app.
    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      I know RAM and storage prices are high right now, but I think it would have been better to have 1TB as the base level storage, especially as it's supposed to be for gaming. Plus a 2.5gbe ethernet port rather than only 1gbe.
    • Microsoft releases major feature updates for stock Windows 11 apps

      By Neeo · Posted

      I have installed the debloated version of Windows 11 25H2 Pro. I obtained the apps from store.rg-adguard.net. The size of the Photos app window is quite problematic for me; it consistently displays in a 16:9 aspect ratio, resembling a movie theatre screen, and cant remeber its last size and position. The Snipping Tool cannot capture the taskbar. When I select "Window" in capture mode, it allows me to capture menus or individual windows, but I am unable to capture just the taskbar. This functionality was available in version 24! I am on the same version numbers (latesst).

      I'm already seeing my steam library, still swallowing the 16 Gb of RAM, then looking at the SD storage expansion and saying "what?".
