First Play

Well, I just played the gameplay after figuring out how to import a save file and user tracks for the radio station. At first, San Andreas didn't lag at first, but then after using the SA Console for a while and trying to print out cheat codes which I didn't even do in the end, it lagged terribily. Also when I tried teleporting using the console, all I did was fall through the ground, respawning near the geyser/Big Ear. I am amazed with the draw distance, but being how laggy the game got, the textures spawned wrong and it looked pretty ugly. You'd have to stand in a spot for about two minutes before the textures loaded correctly. Although I never restarted my computer since I downloaded it so that could be a major problem.

I did get some images nevertheless so here you go:


This is the tracks I put on my own radio station. A pretty diverse selection if you ask me. I didn't want to overload with the amount of songs thus producing even worse lag.


This is a look at the SA admin console.


A SWAT tank and two go-carts in Johnson's garage. The saved game already had these in here, not me using the console.


A plane flying over CJ's head while he's next to the geyser where I spawned after falling through the ground.


Trying to steal a car, in slow motion. It was horrible. I had to press the ENTER key about thirty times before I actually even approached the car door to jack it. As you can see, that tractor trailer is moving at a fast speed and that's trouble for me. Although with the admin console, I set it up so CJ cannot get hurt so...no trouble besides for the peds in the cars.


Heading up to the big ear so I can test out the draw distance. It took me a good five minutes to drive up there with the lag.


You might have to view this in full view. It just had to get dark when I wanted to test out the ghetto draw distance. Although if the picture comes out clear, you'd see that you can view San Fierro a little bit and I believe Red County. Amazing....


The Big Ear.


Area 69 and even Las Venturas in the far distance.

Now I'm going to go restart my computer and try this again...


Downloaded and Installed

Finally, San Andreas for the PC has finished downloaded, I installed it, and it works with the CD Crack. I haven't actually dived into the midst of the game play because I want to download a 100% done saved file from the internet first, but I'm very excited to play. I went from 122 GB (before the download) to 113 GB (after installing). But after cleaning up some programs on my computer, I'm up to 115 GB. I plan on taking some pictures ASAP. Although I want to dive into using that admin console. And that map creator I was talking about two days ago for Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas is a race mod editor. Now that is very interesting because I used to make up my own race courses in my head for the PS2 version.

And now with The Movies out now, the great tycoon game where you can create your own movies, I may want that. Heh, neh. San Andreas is hogging up enough disk space the way it is.

Expect some pictures soon, hopefully. Everytime I promise something, it never seems to pull through.

Modding Galore

Here I am talking about San Andreas for the PC again. It's 54.6% done so far so if I started this two days ago and I'm half way done, then two more days (on Saturday) I should be done. Then I'll be playing it and having a great time, hopefully. I want to actually get into modding on this one. I tried modding when I downloaded Vice City back in the day, but it went horribily wrong to the point I couldn't play the game anymore. Don't fool around with MooMapper too much, trust me.

I might try mapping in textures, models, and the actual mapping of locations of the models, but I'll probably fail again. I'll most likely just use the mods of others or tools, like the admin console. Although I can't wait until Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas is releashed. That is going to be awesome! I liked Vice City MTA, but San Andreas will sure to be a lot better. Also there's some map creator I saw in a screenshot on their blog so I'm wondering what that's all about. Also they have that racing mod so maybe you can make your own race courses in your server. I would have a Rhino tank race. That would be extreme.

Although the plan I told you about before to trick my parents isn't working too well. My mother said that I have no business running a scan on the computer. Right...I know a lot more than she does. If it wasn't for me and my "scans", the the computer would be trash, if you know what I mean. Anyway, she said I can't leave the computer on 24/7 anymore. So I'm trying to tell her it'll blow up then and she said, "Oh well, your loss." I really hate her right now....

Thank God this school week is only four days. That means that tomorrow is the hardest day and indeed it is. Math test, civics group thingy, and speech tomorrow. Ho hum. Hopefully my speech teacher runs her car into a lake (still alive but not in school for months) and my math teacher goes and has another baby. Okay, my math teacher isn't that bad. Not bad at all. I just hate having tests because I get too nervous and...

DAMN IT!! Writer's block. Bye...

No Bombs Dropped

I told you before that I may have bombed my speech I had in my communication class. After my speech, I asked her how I did and she said okay and showed me my paper in which I only noticed the 3's and a 1 (the score was 0-5). However when I got my paper back today, I saw my overall score. An 84! No bombs dopped! It's not excellent but it's better than the 74 I expected.

So far, the San Andreas download I have is 24.2% done. Being the game file is so large (3.94 GB), I have to leave my computer on all day and all night. Now my parents don't allow this, but for the past week now I've been using a master excuse that is working like a dream. I tell them I'm doing a huge computer scan for viruses, hackers, adware, spyware, and porn websites that want to destroy the little children. They're falling for it. I said it would take a very long time to do and everytime the computer is turned off, it resets itself. Now my mother hardly knows anything about the computer while my father knows more. My father would find out my trick a lot easier seeing no computer scan. Why am I typing this when my mother and father may be tricky themselves and reads my plans of domination on my blog? Shh.....

Now I must go do the Lewis Structure, more gustar, and talk to people on AIM. Bye...

A UFO?

Two entries in one day. Aren't you lucky?

Well, just ten minutes ago I went outside to take the garbage up the back when something happened. I was humming either the Mission Impossible theme song or Goldeneye 007 when it happened. I never even looked up at the sky either, it was so bright and fast that I noticed it. Over my head, a speeding flashing light flew over dissapearing over the nearby mountains near Route 107 in the direction of my school. At this, I dashed back into my house with the garbage screaming that I just saw an actual UFO. My sister had to go outside with me to take the garbage out I was so paranoid and freaked out. That just gives some truth to that whole "Secret of Olyphant" thing I talked about a long time ago back in Augest.

Now my mother and sister were cracking jokes at me saying it was a shooting star and my mother's going on about how she has to lock the doors so the aliens don't come and how she wondered why they never took me away. Screw them! This is serious. The portal is very alive as I have experienced. I always wanted to see a UFO and now I got my wish. Never knew how paranoid I'd get over it.

If you are familar with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, then you know about those lights in the sky that blink on and off that are supposed to simulate airplanes, but somebody missed up and made the speed of them go too fast. What I saw was very similar to that. It was right over my head too. Damn that was freaky.

And my friend was complaining because I didn't put this in my other blog entry today, so here it is. It's Black Tom. This is a great AIM icon made by Caitlin so if you want to use it, do so. Just remember that it is copyrighted by her if you use it. "Hi. I'm Black Tom and I like to use the Xbox a lot. A real lot." Oh yes, Black Tom is copyrighted by another friend, James.

Now I must go study some crazy gustar Spanish and some confusing pre chemistry that involves placing dots in a certain way around a chemical symbol.

Might Finally Get It

And finally I can post. And finally I may actually get San Andreas for the PC. How? Through torrents. What's a torrent? I don't really know, but the program, called BitComet, is really helping me in my search. Hopefully my search will be over. I started downloading the game around last Thursday, but just now I got rid of it because it didn't get any farther than 43.3%. I got a new one that looks a lot more promising and has both seeds and leaches. Don't ask what they are because I wouldn't be able to help you. Although I do believe I'm getting a lot more adware -- never mind...that's a negative.

I already downloaded a tool for the game called an admin console. It's pratically (damn adware...) a huge cheat device. It has the cheats on it, CJ and cars are indestructiable, and a lot of other things. Plus a lot of keyboard shortcuts you can make. Sure to have fun with that. But my whole reason for downlading San Andreas for the PC is mainly the draw distance and the point-and-click for shooting which'll add a new experience. Also making movie clips and pictures to share with everybody (all will go on here) will be great. The only problem I fear is if my computer will actually play the game without lag in high details. That's a huge fear being that the last download at 40% done went from 122 GB on my computer to 118 GB. That's 4 GB of performance gone. Sure RAM makes a big deal, but it seems on my computer that the overall memory makes a huge difference in internet browsing or playing PC games. Already, I have 0.1% done in this new download and I lost a GB (122 GB to 121 GB). But I believe it won't go down anymore from 118 GB. Being the game size is 3.94 GB, I think the computer takes away the GB the download is going to use so that if a freak accident happened that I lost all of my GB's, the download would still go through because that four GB's were stored for that downloads use. Hmm...that didn't make sense.

Anyway...life...I'm going to say my past week briefly. I bombed my speech, my cat went to the vet because his liver is shutting down and he wasn't eating and was vomiting all of the time but after treatment he appears to be better and is eating a lot, I went hunting for turkies and got nothing Friday and Saturday, Lakeland lost the game to Carbondale Friday night with the school 14-35 (first game Lakeland lost to them since my father graduated high school), had a gaming party at Craig's house Saturday into Sunday, wrote a movie review for English, and today I do not understand the pre chem. O_o I said too much without even describing them...(which I will not do).

And with this entry I bring back links because I finally wrote something not concerning my personal life. Finally, a start.

Good day!

Will Write Soon

I will write a new full-fledged blog entry soon enough. It's just that I'm busy as hell downloading Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for the PC (finally found one that should work), hunting, doing school work, and role-playing. And I bombed that speech with about a 70 even after everybody said I was one of the best in the class. I hate that bitch already!

Good day!

Yet Another Busy Weekend

Well, first I'll propose to you like I always do for why I didn't post since Wednesday. (1) Thursday I had to study for my Romeo and Juliet skit and go eat with a friend for my birthday, (2) Friday I played Runescape and went to the football game (Lakeland won), (3) and yesterday I went hunting until one-thirty then worked on my speech that's due tomorrow until ten. I actually just finished that speech (the visual part of it) one-thirty today. But did I take that extra hour of sleep for my own good? No, I woke up at seven, played a football game that frozed on me at half time, then went on the computer until eight-thirty when I got off to print out pictures for my posterboard. Now let's take a step back in the week, shall we?

Thursday was my birthday and I am now 15. Now I have to go through the trouble of changing my "About Me" from 14-years old to 15-years old. A caring friend at school made me chocolate cupcakes that were very good. I only enjoyed two of the 13 though being that everybody was around me like vultures and I promised some to other friends, including her and her friends. But let's go two periods before lunch lunch. Speech class. If you read my last entry, you know I already had three tests on Thursday (math, Spanish, and home ec.) but guess what, a turn in the plot occured. We had a pop test. A pop test. Pop test. TEST! She claimed she told us about this test but she never did. I missed three questions and got five others wrong because she never told us about this test. If it wasn't for the ten minutes she gave us to study, I would've failed. And guess what the bonus was? What does VHS, DVD, and CD stand for? I knew what CD stood for (compact disc) but not the other two (but I do now). I don't want to be mean or inpolite to her, but she really has mental problems! Once she told us to do a page in the book, something like page 310. Then two minutes later somebody goes to ask or a question or to go hand it in and she starts freaking out, screaming, saying she never told us to do that page. Explain to me how that isn't mental. I bet you can't. Thankfully after all of that, my father took Craig and me to eat at the Old Country Buffet for my birthday.

Shit, I wrote an essay just for Thursday. Anyway, for Friday, we had that skit in English to do. My group and a friend's group both got 100's in the class. He was at aew at how well the two groups did. It was quite easy. I had that fear of forgetting my lines as soon as I got up there which I did for a split second, but then everything came back to me. Everytime I go to act or speak in front of an audience of more than six people, my voice breaks and has a shaky tone to it. That's why I'm screwed in my speech tommorrow. About 45 points of the speech is just on presentation itself. Later on at the game, Lakeland playing the Dunmore Bucks and won with a score similar to 35-28. I'm surprised on how bad we did. That should've been a boring game with us winning 52-0 but no, they have to have a fast quarterback who does a quarterback sneak almost every drive.

Yesterday I woke up at 5:45 to go hunting. We saw four turkeys all together. Now for the stories behind not getting a shot at any of them. The first turkey I saw was a hen. I was sitting up on the top of a ledge when I heard footsteps like a person walking. I actually heard two of them. Then I saw movement in front of me and then the hen came out of the brush. Now in front of me was the rounded part of the ledge or, I don't know how to explain it. The turkey came out, went back in, and went somewhere on the other side of me where I couldn't see it. I tried to aim at it but my scope was zoomed in too far and all I saw were dots. By the time I put the zoom down to six, the hen was gone. The other three I saw altogether. We were walking down a dirt road above the mine pits talking with my father about the hen I saw and wonder where it went. We circled the whole preimeter of the area we saw the hen (and couldn't go back in being that there were two hunters where I first saw the hen) when a hen (probably the same one) ran in front of us. We then got down on the ground and was scanning over the pit mine when my father told me to move down the road a little ways more and to look around. When I got to a good spot, I heard a noise behind me and spun around to see a big gobler running up a coal bank. I aimed at it and was about to take the safety off but I have bad instinct, and besides clicking the safety off, I pulled the hatch to the chamber up. So that got away. Then another gobler flew from the coal bank, over us, and down into the pit mines. So I got nothing....

I have CCD tonight and I have to bring in the Passion of the Christ in to watch. My teacher has the movie in DVD format and his son brought in the Playstation 2 last week to watch it on but there was now "video" button anywhere on the TV being how old the TV is. So I have it on VHS so besides having them bring a TV in, I'll just take that. I never saw the movie because I was always afraid to, but I guess I'm forced to watch it tonight.

I know I'm always going on about my life on my blog, but if I made an entry everyday, that might not happen. But I never know what to write about. So in an effort to clear that all up, when I get back on my feet in Runescape money-wise and supply-wise, I'll post Runescape blogs. I would do game reviews but I didn't play a new game in a long time. I might post previews instead. Maybe more Runescape pictures. I'm also take screen captures but I never get around to posting them on the same day I take them. And when I get San Andreas for the PC whenever that may be, you'll never have not enough pictures and stories to hear about. And when Animal Crossing DS and The Movies gets into my hands too... I think I may also go back into the RPG Maker XP screen captures again. Also I'm trying to get ideas for the blog overall as in extras. Just so that I'm not always going on about my boring life which nobody really cares about. Also the SAPI is alive again.

I'm going to go. Adios.

This is just a taste of what I had to study today and I studied very little for each. Sorry about the headache and pain if you actually read through that. I learn informayion better when writing it down so why not on my blog? Four huge tests tomorrow and it's my birthday? Sheesh. "Forbid this outrage". Although that Romeo and Juliet skit may be pushed back to Friday now. Plus I still hardly got any research done on my speech. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get something in on the history of Nintendo but I have a major pre chem test. At least I won't have a test in these for a while having them all at once. Although I'm going to fail half of them. Why?

Math is getting me pissed. Our teacher thinks that because we're the advanced and upper class (with the other advanced geometry class) that we should understand all the material she covers with us the first time. But do we? No. Only about six people out of a little bit below fifty understand what we're doing. Plus even if she listened to our demands, she can't push it back to Friday because she's going to a wedding that day. And now to pre chemistry, my teacher wasn't there today and we have a test next class meaning we never even got a review; and nobody understands anything in there either. The only thing that comes through to me is electron configuration. And home ec. (my third test tomorrow; with Spanish being one and math being the other) is confusing because the test almost always follows nothing what we did and there's really nothing to study off of relating to the test. We just get these activites that involve you to find out how much excercise it takes to burn off a pound in a certain amount of time by jogging, or maybe weight lifting, and you can throw in even talking. Yes, you burn calories just by sitting where you're at. Being the speed typer I am, I believe I just lost 600 calories.

Time to go now and to add it snowed yesterday up at our school (it's at a higher elevation from where I lived) so we may very well be getting off to an early "wintery" start. Even one school in Sullivan County had a two hour delay. Some places closer to the New York borderline got close to a foot or over. I disdain them.

Adios.

Not Enough Time

There is just not enough time this week to do anything. So why am I writing my blog? I don't know. Maybe to blow off some steam. So if you don't want to hear me complain, go read another entry then. Well, I'm always complaining about something so...

Anyway, I have four tests this week first off. A Romeo and Juliet test and pre chem quiz tomorrow, a math and Spanish test Thursday, and a pre chem test Friday. Second, I have my "skit" to do on Romeo and Juliet Thursday. And third, I have that speech due next Monday and the only thing I did so far was do a little bit of research during speech class today. So I have a lot to do and a lot to memorize.

Today during English we practiced our skits and my group and I were just humping around doing a huge swordfight besides memorizing lines. We went over our lines three times then we just said, "Screw it! We're going to stab each other." Yesterday our English teacher wasn't in so I had to take the swords with me to study hall and Andy and Matt had to take them out and play with them and they got yelled at.

And I have about 10k worth of coal thus far on Runescape.

Now I'm tired so night....
