Will

Wasn't necessarily directed towards you, just anyone who tried making the "that's not natural because evolution won't happen if everyone's gay" argument. I understand what you meant in your post before. Edit (this literally just came to me and I actually got out of bed to post this): Here's another argument that will shut down any "evolution" arguments. Donating sperm and insemination. Homosexual males can still donate their sperm and homosexual females can still be inseminated to continue the whole "passing down your genes" thing. Don't know what insemination is and are too lazy to look it up? It's when a female has semen injecting into her reproductive tract. No sex involved. Also, after thinking about my other post about how one becomes homosexual, I realized that some people who actually think might say that homosexuality can be considered a disorder. True, but that still doesn't mean that we should take their rights away. The only time someone's rights should be taken away because of a disorder is when that disorder is impairing their judgement (making them a serial killer or something) or some sort of important life function (like if you are required to stay at a mental hospital (or half-way house, or anything like that) because you can't take care of yourself - mental hospitals are pointless, however, because the "hospital" part doesn't exist; those places are just "storage places" for the mentally ill when they could be getting actual treatment, but that's a different topic), and even then they should be treated as equals.

Regardless of anything, who says heterosexuality is "natural" while homosexuality isn't? Scientists are getting closer everyday to proving that your sexuality is natural. Take a Psychology class. Actually, I'll prove it for you. From this. Here's a part that would prove that it isn't natural, which is what whoever is arguing this is basing his argument off of: The rest of the article proves the people who disagree with you (including myself) right. Actually, pretty much everything we do is "natural." Our brain determines the way we behave. Neurotransmitters, hormones and all that other stuff is what really makes us do what we do. Yes, we each have our own beliefs which are developed based on our environment, how we were raised, our experiences, etc. but there is a lot of stuff going on in your head that is greatly affecting it. Seriously, just take an intro to Psychology class and you will learn this stuff. Take any science class to learn to actually LOOK UP PROOF before making an argument. EDIT (adding on to this): Who are we to say that people who are naturally attracted to the same sex should have less rights to those who are born straight? It's not their fault. I'm sure there are Christians out there who are homosexual. Most likely hiding it since it goes against their religion. Just watch Trapped in the Closet by R. Kelly. The Pasteur was married to a woman, but having an affair with a man! He didn't want it to get out that he was homosexual (or bisexual, I think, since he said he also loves his wife) because it goes against a random book that people worship for some reason (not to be disrespectful). The Bible is another argument, but I'm just gonna put this out there: People think Scientology is ridiculous because people believe in a science fiction novel. IT'S THE SAME DAMN THING. Scientology is just making fun of all the religions that worship books.

This is true because Steam will have to re-download the game in order to re-install it. Just make a backup of the entire original directory, so that if you have a problem you would be able to copy it over.

I don't know the reference...

I'm not going to bother reading through this entire topic since people on the internet try to argue without having their facts straight, which I am positive happened here. But here's my opinion: I don't think marriage (in the way most of us mean it) should be handled by the government at all. Anything that has to do with the government (taxes and stuff) should not involve marriage. That's what separation of church and state is. How it should be in the US is that people get a legal union (or civil union I guess it's called) where they are classified as "Together" according to the government. It shouldn't matter what genders are involved, anyone over the age of 18 should be able to file to be legally together with anyone else over the age of 18. If they want to get "married" in the religious way (in a church with a priest or however your religion handles marriage), then that should NOT involve the government in anyway. The church can then have it's own rules on who marries whom. But since everybody in the government are complete idiots, this will never happen and there will never be true separation of church and state. tl;dr: Anybody should be able to legally "marry" anybody. Edit: I just skimmed through the last page...I love how people are trying to say that this topic shouldn't be here...this is the random forum for anything. And since when do you decide what can and can't be on Sam and Jay's website?

I know you're joking, but for those who don't know, you can not just have someone send you the file and play. In order for it to work, RC3 has to validate with the servers meaning you can't play it unless you're on Sam's secret list. (well, not that secret: Community Team and Testers really.)

Cop car...lol

I don't see how the normal release is "half of the game." The only things you get for the special edition are: artwork, a blueprint map, special ability boost (each character's special ability goes up faster, which is why Sam said it will be easier for people with this version), stunt plane trials (agreed that this should be in the normal game, but whatever), bonus outfits, tattoos, and more (there will still be plenty in the normal game), additional weapons (only a pistol, shotgun, and hammer - there will still be plenty in the normal game). Everything listed are things that should be in a special version of the game and not in the normal game. It wouldn't make sense for it to be in the regular game. In the collectors edition, there's the security deposit bag and key, a hat, custom characters for online (from previous games), unique vehicles and garage property. You instantly receive a garage for custom cars, which leads me to believe you will be able to have a similar garage in the normal game eventually. This garage comes with a special hot rod and "sports bike" (motorcycle or bicycle? I'm not sure, but I'm guessing motorcycle) and an electric car for online only. The characters and cars are unique, again things that should only be in a special version of the game and not the normal one. You get the blimp no matter what version you pre-order, including normal retail version. I honestly don't see what the problem is here.

Yeah, I think it's related to the issue with LCPDFR backup. I have that problem with the ambulance every so often, but it isn't every time I call one. And I'm having issues with the FD now, too. Same problem as previously mentioned in this thread, I believe. Not a major problem for me; I barely ever have to call FD and if I do and there's a problem, then fire extinguisher it is :)

I don't know if Sgt. Kanyo's (and whoever else was involved there) problems were properly addressed, but read the guide in full and all of your problems will be answered. I'll even sum here for you with quotes from the guide in the spoilers: Flash delay (slowing down flashing of lights): Open ELS.ini and change the value of "Flash_Delay_SP" (or MP for multiplayer) under [MISC SETTINGS] "Bug" with Extra 8: Open the vehicle configuration file for the vehicle with this "bug" or just the default_config file (if you only use this, which I have a feeling you do) and change Type = leds under [ SECL ] to Type = drct Using the default GTA IV siren in multiplayer: I never play MP, but according to the default keys file included with the last upload of ELS 7, you should be able to use your normal GTA IV siren with the key set in GTA IV. (this spoiler is from ELS DEFAULT CONTROLS.pdf Using the default GTA IV siren in Singleplayer: You have to use Express Mode. Again, from the default keys file, this is activated with CTRL BACKSPACE. The problem with backspace is that it is normally used with a trainer, causing it to not work in ELS. If this is the case, change the key to something that doesn't interfere in ELS.ini by changing the value in ToggleExpressMode to the corresponding key code. What Express Mode does is let you use the default GTA IV siren, automatically activating Light Stage 3 when you activate the GTA IV siren. IF the above explanation for MP doesn't work, then this is the solution for that as well. Hope I was able to help with the problems a lot of people are having. I came about these solutions by actually reading the user guide. And also playing with ELS in game to figure it all out. It isn't that hard.

If it just goes to desktop after clicking play, make sure the Windows Live ID Sign-In Assistant service is running: Click start -> type Services and press enter -> scroll down to Windows Live ID Sign-In Assistant -> click either "Start Service" or "Restart Service" (Whichever is showing) and try playing again. If this doesn't help, then I don't know what the problem is. Try uninstalling the car mods.

I'd take a Crown Vic over a Caprice any day. I never liked the Caprice that much, especially the new ones. That said, I'd take the Charger over the Crown Vic.

I can download it just fine.

According to what I've looked at on Nvidia.com, yeah the GTX 460 will be better. However those cards are rather outdated. If you could save up the money to invest in a GTX 600 series card, or even 500 series, that would be much better.

This happens sometimes, I don't know if it's a script conflict between LCPDFR and something else (possibly ELS or Braveheart's Policing Script or vdH Police Helper) or what, but you could always try pressing F12 after it disappears to call another unit.

If by "murder" you mean "mugging," then I always had the same thing in LCPDFR. It was very rare that I would actually get a mugging call and it not be code 4. I've been using only Braveheart's Policing Script for callouts.

And PC and Wii U. Watchdogs will be out for everything, really. And about graphics, I think it was IGN or Machinima that said GTA V will have pretty much the same graphics as GTA IV - even the same problems with textures popping in and out. Regardless of that, millions of people will still buy it, right? Not because of its graphics, but because of its gameplay.

Lol, apparently. None of the videos are(as of just now)/will be monetized though. (or maybe they will - not that anyone will see this update - but only the banner ad thing. Really just to see how it works.)

Only if you use some sort of mobile radio mod - there's one included with Simple Native Trainer, but I use this radio mod because I think the key to skip songs in the SNT one is coded as N and not changeable.

If you have xlive.dll in your GTA IV directory, delete it and keep dsound.dll
