You may not be able to do that at all. I record my commentary after the video has already been shot and sync the audio up with the video timeline.

I'm surprised somebody didn't ask that question before you, although judging by his wording I'd guess it's a desktop.

The way laws are designed and the way they're used are two completely different things. I think any police officer will be able to admit that our legal system isn't perfect, and never will be. Your jobs are to enforce the laws, not tell people which ones are right and wrong. Remember that the people behind the enforcement of these laws have to act with discretion and "by the book" usage in mind, and everyone here knows just as well as I do that it won't be that way all the time. I think the majority of the laws we have in place as a country are here for the right reasons and are used properly, but CISPA isn't and won't be one of them. They're attacking this piracy and hacking problem with an axe when they should be using a scalpel. The government can peek in on what you're doing any time they want. All they want to do is make it publicly acknowledged and "okay". We Americans were quick to accept the Patriot Act in the wake of 9/11. Quite frankly, this is nothing but the cyber equivalent of that, and while the intentions of it may be noble, it can be used to stifle innovation and creative content if controlled by the wrong people. There are very few people among the giant crowds of old white men that make up our government house and senate that actually understand technology and how computers work, never mind the course we humans need to take to maintain the integrity of our last truly free market.

I don't think it's either of those two things. It was important to the point where our government was upset about it not being completely blown up, fearing they could reverse engineer it. But it's certainly not super duper amazing or we would have done something about it.

Hell, for all I know our military could be testing a chopper that can do something crazy like that right now. The one we sent with the SEALs on their "road trip" to Pakistan was supposedly one that was in a prototype stage.

No tail rotor on that one.

*EDIT* Whoops, first post didn't show up until I refreshed. Delete this please.

Well I remember hearing that name being used in that context for the first time in a game of Battlefield Bad Company 2. Watch from like 30 seconds of this video and onward. Destroys things so quickly (although you probably already know that). I love the "That guy probably had a family and everything." comment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cKhCuNPjmA&feature=related Also, this is another big reason we call it a ROFL copter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1REnQkbfww&feature=related Lets see you guys pull THAT one off. ;)

Yup, glad someone else proved my point, thanks Marine. lol You'll manage just fine, wmai20, I'm sure. On a lighter note, I would love it if you guys in the Marine Corps started calling them ROFL copters. If that catches on, 20 years from now I'll be watching the Military History channel and they'll have a small segment about the Black Hawks, with the narrator saying something to the effect of: "The UH-60 Black Hawk, affectionately known by the Marines as "The ROFL copter" was a key weapon in helping to defeat the enemy forces in both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars..." I be sitting there in my chair, and I'll say to myself: "By god, I've influenced the U.S. military without even going through boot camp..." Or I might burst out laughing. Either one.

Ugh, have fun with that. I've heard from soldiers who reported back to the various US news teams that those soldiers lack discipline of any sort and forget the things we teach them. Hopefully you'll bust that myth and whip them into shape. But if not, at least if another stupid dictatorship or something arises 20 years from now we can just invade them again without much bloodshed due to poorly trained soldiers and outdated equipment that we built ourselves. I do know we donated a hand full of M1 Abrams tanks to them though (or maybe it was Iraq, I can't remember)... In any case, at least we didn't give them the kind with the depleted uranium armor. Also when you said in the video "imagine that hitting a tank", that's probably my least favorite part of driving a tank in Battlefield 3. Always watching for the "ROFL copters" or "rape copters" as we often call them since they can blow right through enemy armor in one pass. OP. But that's true to life I guess. In any case, stay safe. Semper fidelis, as you guys would say.

Read the minimum requirements for GTA IV and you can answer your own question. What everyone is trying to get across to you is that any of the computers you have selected so far have either been the wrong fit because they plain and simply can't run the game at all, or if it would run then it would be a horrible gameplay experience. GTA IV is a bad console port that eats up resources. I don't have my game maxed and my system was rather powerful when it was built, a couple years after the release of GTA IV. You're also not thinking about any other games you might play aside from GTA IV. It won't be the only video game you play for the rest of your life, so it's important to have your technology scale for the future. I've seen plenty of customers at these electronic stores that sell laptops that come in for $300 PC's and expect them to be everything they would want. They want the computer because it's cheap, and they assume all computers are the same. That's not the case.

Weren't there already a couple of topics on this?

That looks pretty bad ass. Get a couple modders to add that to some Chargers, CVPI's and Tahoes; stat!

The south shall rise again!.... ...wait, never mind. Lets have it stay put.

Officer Maloney's funeral was held today. It jammed the usually quiet streets up for miles. All up and down the road that the shooting happened on, there are American flags and yellow ribbons on and in between every driveway for a few miles up until the border of the next town over. I drove past the crime scene, not much to see there now, just some orange tape blocking off both driveway entrances and a larger than usual stockpile of American flag decorations. There was also some sort of large sign popping over the fence in the back yard, but I couldn't slow down to read it because some D-bag behind me was tailing me in my SUV and I didn't want him to hit me. Here are a few pictures from the funeral. An officer from Manchester who was recently shot 5 times attended the funeral as well. Mike Maloney's cruiser, on the football field that he played on as a child, and coached a team on as an adult. Police officers and townspeople from all accross New England showed up to seat those chairs, which were shaped as two 'M's, for 'Mike Maloney'. The service was held at the highschool he attended as a young man. There are over 3,000 people who attended the funeral service. Rest in peace Chief, my thoughts are with the various N.H. police departments who participated in that tragic battle.

People can ban you for whatever they want. Most likely people will ask you what in the hell you're doing, and then if you explain it to them they'll probably grief your traffic stops, so I'd only suggest playing the single player, or if you must have a friend with you and don't mind crashing often, do it in a server with people you know.

I mentioned in my post that it was the MMO APB I was talking about, not the arcade game. I must have seen the name and thought you meant the MMO, sorry. The MMO version of APB is only talked about today due to its tremendous failure, and is a common subject of ridicule among gamers familiar with it. The arcade game APB isn't talked about today because it apparently wasn't anything memorable enough to leave a lasting memory for the general population. I've never heard of it, and I've heard of some pretty unpopular games. Case in point. Case in point #2. I bet you that more people will have heard of the name 'Excitebike' before they've heard of 'APB', even with the recent MMO release. Minecraft took off because its a sandbox game and will eventually become open source. Garry's Mod is popular for the same reason. I wouldn't even go so far as to call them games, for that matter. They both share more in common with development kits than they do with an actual game if you ask me. Compare it to something like ARMA; It's far more of a training simulator (since it's built off of one) than an actual game. I'd love to see a commercial version of LCPD:FR, too, but there aren't enough voices out there demanding it. And on that note, it seems I run into more and more knuckleheads in my daily life that do nothing but complain about and bash the police until their life or property is in danger and all of a sudden they need their help. Those people exist by the millions, and they're preventing police games from being blockbusters. People don't like being told what to do, and it's that rebellion that makes games like GTA so attractive. I'm one of the guys who repeated the vigilante missions more than once and later on saw a video on YouTube about LCPD:FR and said "Hey I can pull people over? Neat." *Click* We only exist by the thousands. I would liken that to real policing. 50 new criminals for every one new police officer that lands the job. But I'd be happy to add one more number to the ones with badges both in-game and out.

Probably Simple Native Trainer, but I prefer using the in-game cheat codes on your characters phone.

500 megabits is a very large number. Lets think in terms of Megabits per second for your home Internet speed. An average Cable Internet Provider speed in the U.S. or Canada (lets say Comcast or Rogers Cable) is about 16mbps at peak performance for a decent home connection. A business connection is 100mbps at peak. Imagine five of those connections spiking a server at peak performance 24/7 that's intended for normal traffic. A lot of these botnet viruses can take over swaths of computers at once and turn them into "zombies" leaving them at the whim of whoever the attacker actually is. Bot nets commonly target businesses, but homes are susceptible to them too. I'm anxiously awaiting for Google to offer these backup services on their new fiber Internet network, as the speeds are supposed to be a one Gigabit at peak performance. The attackers are going to have to put in a lot more effort in order to take over twice as many computers for such a stupid cause, and will therefore put them at twice as much risk of getting caught.

300,000 across the game's lifespan is not a game that sold well. Battlefield 3 got over 10 million in about 4 months, Call of Duty got about 7 times that number in the same span of time. I'm not saying that every new game has to be the next Call of Duty, but 15 million dollars (asuming a new game sold at $50 per copy, which Falcon 4.0 didn't because I've never heard of it and games didn't cost that much back in 1998) isn't a lot of money anymore for a development studio that would be draining thousands of dollars per day. Also I played the MMO APB before RTW shut itself down. Great game concept, but a definite niche market. The studio borrowed 100 million dollars and they couldn't repay a fraction of it because the gameplay mechanics were less than perfect making the reviews "meh" for a title that already had limited interest in it. And this was a title that was way off from a police sim, and involved a criminal element which should have drawn in a larger audience. But it didn't. Long story short, unless society changes, the games won't change. Most people in this world are sheep. We eat at McDonalds, watch Kanye West on MTV and play Call of Duty on the weekends because they were all things that were once cool and we don't know any better because nobody wants to take risks anymore and try something different. It's very hard to break out of that kind of mold. Game studios, movie studios and music artists have done that before but it takes decades to happen. We'd be waiting for a generational shift.

Saying spy just makes me think of TF2, which I really want to play right now. Damn you.

I UPVOTED HIM. :thumbsup:

I wouldn't make you post anything, that's up to you. However I did look her up on Google Image Search and a lot of her pictures were less than stunning. A girls best friend isn't concealer anymore. This is the best makeup a girl can get these days:

That was the best GTA IV car crash I've ever seen, and Romans response to it all was exactly what I expected. Awesome video.

You could always put the model in the game seperate and just spawn it with SNT. Replace the Faggio with it or something, and then change the handling characteristics.
