Even More SA Pictures

I'm just in the visual mood today. Here's some more San Andreas pictures for your own viewing pleasure. Also as a side note (I always have a side note, don't I?), you're able to control the amount of draw distance you can see in the game under advanced options. Yesterday while playing, I was fooling around with the menus and found that my draw distance was actually turned down all of the way. I was amazed. Here I am commenting on the great draw distance of the PC version and I'm not even seeing the full possibily of what I have in front of me. Now, the draw distance on my game is much better.

Here are the pictures. The first picture if a picture of me next to my Pizza Boy, taken by a Grove Street homie, just for the knowledge there.

Will I post again today? Only time will tell...

Edit 11/29/05: Four of the last pictures were disabled so I removed them.

Find the Pizza Boy

Even though I just posted an entry, I'm back for another one. But this time, it's a game. And very similar to "Where's Waldo", the picture finding book where you have to find a guy with huge glasses and a striped red and white shirt and stocking hat. Well, now we're going to play, "Where's Pizza Boy"! Yes, "Where's Pizza Boy" involves the player to look at a screenshot of San Andreas and try to find the moped in it, called the Pizza Boy. Some are easy, some are hard. I think they're all easy, but that's because I know where I parked the bike in each one.

Now, onward to the game!

Here's a picture of a Pizza Boy just to help you:

Click on it in full view for better viewing. This is also recommended for any picture posted. Makes the game a lot easier. Now the true game shall begin!



The darkness in this screenshot makes this a challenge. Can you find the Pizza Boy, or no?



Don't let the two cars in the front distract you from looking all around! This one's pretty easy.



This picture isn't really a part of the game. I just thought that light over the ocean in the horizon looked weird so...I took a picture.



Here's a harder one for you.



This one's pretty easy...



And here's one from the post I had yesterday with the desert screenshots. Too easy.

If by popular demand you ever want to play another game of "Where's Pizza Boy", then just leave a comment or send me an e-mail and just by one request I'll make more.

Happy gaming!

Touching Stuff...

I horribily suck at creating a title that matches the topic at hand so please bear with me.

Anyhow, it has come to my attention today that my nephew touches my video games upstairs and that really pisses me off. Now, my nephew steals my bed on me everytime he sleeps over until we clean my old bedroom up (which is the size of a large closet) and that doesn't seem like that's going to happen anytime soon. I promised that around June, cleaned up the floor, and destroyed the project. Anyway, when my nephew wakes up, I'm not home because it's Monday and Monday is the start of a new school week. So, he's upstairs in my room with my stuff all by himself. So he normally turns the TV on blast and watches his cartoons.

Now the last time he slept over, all hell broke out. When I went upstairs after school on that Monday whenever that Monday was, I found my Playstation 2 on, my Teteis game on the floor, and my memory cards being played with. I was at the height of being so furious that I destroyed his eye drums yelling at him. Now today while turning my Playstation 2 on to play a football game, I found that he must've been playing with my Gamecube too, because Super Mario Sunshine was in the cube and Animal Crossing was lying on my dresser, unprotected aganist all elements of nature. That is the last time he plays a game again in this household.

As you may or may not know (concerning if you were a reader of my old blog and you remember anything from it), my nephew is addicted to games. Although his gaming aspects turned to many destructions, such as deleting my save file on Super Mario 64 with my brother's 120 stars on it (a historic day in my book that I remember well) and my hard-earned save file on The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. He also caused many other destructions, such as almost destroying my Super Nintendo controller by biting on the wire, and he did it recently, and he's four. He destroyed his father's Playstation 2 at an earlier age by putting a coin in the disk slot. If he did that to me, I wouldn't know what to do. Seriously. I'd probably catch my body on fire and run around screaming.

Although, he's good at games and he's getting better. It's a lot of fun sitting down with him and playing battle mode on Mario Kart 64. He's just way too addicted to the games. And now I heard he's getting a Gamecube for Christmas. Amazing. I'd be afraid to hand over a delicate Gamecube over to him if he broke a huge box (Playstation 2). Now if he broke an Xbox, I might as well call him the Incredible Hulk.

Hopefully with him earning a Gamecube, he'll catch on using more modern day controls and gameplay. Maybe this'll will be an advantage, and besides him touching my Gamecube stuff, he'll only touch his own.

Now onto non-family news, San Andreas does in fact already have a multiplayer mod out, found here. It works pretty good, although I was dissconected from the server a lot. If Multi Theft Auto is supposed to be a lot better than this, then they have done themselves good, and us too. Try that out though. It's worth it. I might actually go play it again but I doubt I'll take any screenshots. It's only a bunch of CJ's running around.

Good day!

Even More SA Pictures

Here's the pictures I promised. I was playing the game for about an hour today using the admin console and I got no lag at all. I think I finally found out the secret. Pauce the game, then hit TAB + ALT. Also my computer seems to run smoother with an AOL name is logged in. Normally when I see AOL on at the bottom, I click on the tab and get rid of the whole application. This seems to make the computer have a major lag course. I'm going to experiment with this over a course of a week or more and see what happens.

Now for the pictures. I always seem to have an odd over an even amount...










Also I have updated my wishlist for what I want around Christmas, although the Revolution won't be possible.

Now I must go watch football. Bye.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to any reader who actually reads this. If you're from the United States, have a great day eating turkey or whatever your family tradation if of eating (my grandmother's is ham) but the point is, you're home with your family sitting around a large table eating a wonderful feast that your mother stayed up all night making, or your wife, or your grandmother's ex-boyfriend's cousin... (that was just random for the note).

Anyhow, I cannot enjoy the Thankgiving meal because of my mouth disease. I woke up at six in the morning because I couldn't even sleep, and at four in the morning, I woke up to a pulled muscle in my right leg. I don't know why but almost once a week I pull a muscle in my right leg early in the morning in bed just by stretching. But everytime I do it now, it gets a bit worse and worse as in the pain and how long it lasts. I was there for a good two minutes clutching my leg holding back the pain. Anyway, off-topic here. I can't eat anything hot or spicy. So, no turkey, gravy, stuffing, etc. And no hot sauce. Oh no! I live off of hot sauce! Damn it! Err...anyway, there goes my feast. Instead, I have to chug down yogurts, cottage cheese, and mouth wash. Hell, I couldn't even eat a chocolate bar yesterday the pain was so bitter. I almost forgot what it felt like not to have canker sores all over my mouth. I'm getting them on my fricking tongue now! And with the sickness, I'm pissed off as all hell so last night trying to get more pictures off of San Andreas for this blog (and just to play), I hit TAB + ALT to get off the game to activate the SA admin console. Well, the game lagged on me so poorly that when I got outside the Johnson house, it just froze. I was cursing my brains out at my computer, spitting at it and pounding on it, and yelling at my father (who was upstairs sleeping by the way) that he should get a faster internet connection besides Verizon and besides saying it's my fault the computer is going slow when it's his.

Anyway, the bright side is that we got snow overnight and it's still snowing a little bit now, but mostly just a flurry or two. You can still see tall strands of grass though so we didn't receive too much. Now maybe up on higher elevation where my school is got a bit more, but being down in the valley, we never get anything. My future plans when I move out is to buy property up in the country so that I have a huge ass yard and maybe a forest in the back. Then when deer season comes around, I'll just sit on the balcony on my back porch and wait for a huge twelve-pointer buck to come by before blowing its head off.

Also, I heard recently that the next big Grand Theft Auto title is supposed to be an exclusive to the Playstation 3 and the Playstation 3 only. Okay. Now I'm pissed off even more and not relating to my damn canker sores. First, I had my plans for the Nintendo Revolution. I'm loyal to Nintendo. If I were offered a free Nintendo DS or a PSP, I would rather get another Nintendo DS because I just don't find the PSP to be fascinating. Sure, it's cool. Sure, I'd love to carry it around with MP3's I uploaded from my computer on it. But guess what, I'm not going to. For one, it costs too much and with memory card and all. Two, it breaks like a skinny ass twig. And three, I perfer a screen that didn't give me a stiff neck like the Game Boy Advance did. I just love Nintendo that much that I will buy a product from them even though criticals says it might suck or it's below average. Now to furthur customize this plan, I was planning on getting GTA4 on my new computer in the future. I thought that hopefully San Andreas would help me master my gaming skills on a computer. Now, with this news, I can't do my original plan if I want GTA4. But I refuse to buy Sony's shitty silver box. So guess what, no GTA4 for me unless they release an emulator and ROM on the computer.

I hate Sony. And I hate Microsoft. Now, I don't hate the Xbox that much. I hate Windows. Make Windows ad-free, virus-free, and full of GB's and processing RAM, and maybe I'd change my mind. But Sony, I'll always hate you...

Anyway, I pulled something in my typing hand just now after falling on the floor because I can't walk with my pulled muscle, so I'll go now. There's a virus scan on my computer now so after that, I may reset and finally get those San Andreas pictures with action.

Happy Thanksgiving.

More SA Pictures

Even though I took these pictures a while ago in-game (maybe a week ago), I'll share these anyway. Like them, hate them. This place needs visuals. Plus I'm hardly posting anything because I'm still sick and it turns out today that I have a contagious disease, known formerly as hoof and mouth disease. Mostly, you have canker sores and cold sores all throughout your mouth and you have rashes all over your arms, legs, and back. It sucks. I'm also achy as all hell. And I had these sores for four to five days now, rash today. I can't even eat. I had to get stuff to numb them and that hardly works. And my doctor who is more directed toward kids twelve and below is a quack. I have dark red dots all over my leg (the rash) and she said that she couldn't see it. Wow, just wow. I'm getting a new doctor right away.

Then after my father got gorrecies for my mother being that Thanksgiving is tomorrow (by the way, have a great day tomorrow with your family), he came into the truck saying we had a flat tire. So I stood outside with him for a good twenty minutes helping him in 25 degree F weather. A side effect to my sickness, I get cold easily. My house is at 75 degress F and I'm freezing right now. So, that didn't help much.

At least we're getting three inches of snow overnight...

Anyway, for the pictures now:








I'll probably get better ones with more action by using the SA admin console. Have unlimited health and get cops after me all over the place and maybe throw riot mode in there. I'll enjoy that...

Good day!

Just Made My Day

After playing Runescape all morning, mining coal and iron, I finally sold them all today using Runescape Community and received 80k gp in return. That's the most money I ever had is 80k, and after my account was hacked, it's like a dream. Now I can finally get back into the routine of things. My next step is to buy a rune pick ax for 30k and a full set of addy armour for 30k also. That leaves me with 20k left, which is the amount of money I had before I was hacked. Then I'll be able to mine faster with my rune pick ax, getting money faster, then I can move on from there.

The last two days, including somewhat today, I was sick badly. And that wasn't good because I went to school yesterday extremely sick with a fever and took three tests (music, home ec, and pre chem). And even beyond that, I went to the football game last night when it was 27 degress F outside. Shows how loyal I am to high school football. Although Lakeland lost 0-35 to Hanover and that means the play-offs are over and that our season is over. Which sucks badly.

Now being that I can't think right now with my sickness, I'm going to go. Good day...

Forget Other Busy Weeks

For the thousand of other posts that I have titled "Busy Week", go right now and spit on it, curse at it, and burn it to the ground. No this is not an evil plan for me to control your mind and have you catch your own house on fire, including yourself. But to the point, no other weeks were as busy as this one. I had about tons of homework everyday. Sure, maybe to you depending on your school, grade, and your teachers, that may not be a lot. You may be pounded with tons of papers and tests everyday, but for me, this is a lot. I hardly had homework at all this year even though I'm in the advanced classes. But that'll probably change to the worse later on with poetry in English now...

Anyhow, I saw the light and decided that I'm not going to download the PC game "The Movies". Why? So I can upload my own movies onto their web site because the key gens have to be different. Another reason: this game seems so good that I can't rip them off fifty bucks. Now San Andreas I have already for the Playstation 2, different story. But with this busy week, I couldn't get it. Thanksgiving though I'll probably have it.

Also I'm playing Runescape again, just for the little side note.

And now I must be off and study for the three tests I have tomorrow.

"The Movies"

I've been waiting for this game (The Movies) for three years and I plan to finally get it today. Yes, I'm just not happy with one game (San Andreas) but I have to get two. But after going on Lionhead's website and seeing the amazing movies that you can make and the fact that you can voice-over, I just had to have it. And after a three year wait, it's weird for the game to just come out without much notice. I was talking about the game to two friends on AIM yesterday and they were amazed that the game was out already. But this movie is the best out of them that I saw and it shows you how amazing a movie can be on it. And with Star Maker, I already made several actors for my movie including myself.

I must go and get pumped up, and do a lot of homework that I didn't do yet...

No Screen Captures

Yet again, a promise broken. I said I would provide more screen captures of San Andreas, and I can't. I tried though.

Yesterday while playing, I used my Imageshack screen capture tool and took about a thousand screen captures, but none of them loaded. They don't even save for me. Imageshack's tools are starting to get on my bad side. Another note, yesterday I downloaded the water tool for the game so that I was able to customize the water level in the game. That entertained me for about an hour, then it got boring. There's a glitch that you're able to walk underwater and drive underwater as well as all of the other peds can when you step out of your house if the water level is about 40 meters or higher. Too high, though, and you'll just drown.

Today, I tried the program FRAPS. Everything was working fine. The screen captures came out amazing and I set it so that every ten seconds in-game, it takes a screen capture. So at that, I have about 65 screen captures of the game, going from riding a Pizzaboy in Los Santos to blowing up helicopters with a heat-seeking rocket launcher in San Fierro after a nice ride on a Sanchez through Red County and Bone County, and throw a boat ride in there somewhere too. So after playing the game, I right-clicked on one of the screen captures and viewed the properties of it and found that each one was more than a MB because the file format was .BMP. Yes, they are horrible for small file sizes but being that my FRAP program wasn't registered (meaning throwing away $37), I could only take them in .BMP. So Imageshack I knew as a fact wouldn't take them. So then I tried Putfile.com. And with that, .BMP isn't an excepted file. So oh well to that. I'm sticking with the Imageshack tool even though it works .00001 of the time.

And with yet another side note, I customized my media page and added some more music tracks to it. If I get a new digital camera for Christmas, I'll be uploading like crazy on there. If it's not in .BMP format that is...

Yesterday was the beginning of the high school football play-offs and Lakeland was playing Myers down in Wilkes-Barre. We won with a great defeat of 25-0, Lakeland's first blow out game of the year (meaning the other school didn't even score once). So next week is another game. Lakeland's season this year is 7-3, with losses by West Scranton, Abington Heights, and Carbondale. Although Abington Heights is 10-0 this season so they're an amazing team. Although I'm impressed with Lakeland this year. We had a 25-game winning streak before the first game of this season (the loss aganist West Scranton) because of our amazing teams in the past (thanks to Joe Tuzze) were mostly 10-0. But at the beginning of this season, we thought we were going to do horrible. Nobody thought of going to the play-offs, nevertheless winning the first game of it. Now, I'm not sure, but we're either playing Hanover or Scranton Prep next week. I didn't read the paper. If we ever got to states, then it would be a true miracle.

Also yesterday, my brother and sister-in-law gave me their old cell phone which was very nice of them to do. And it's not very old either at that.
