Vista vx XP GTA IV

I noticed GTAIV kept crashing under XP. So I made a separate install of Vista just for GTA4. The game looks the same, however it runs faster, and it doesn't crash anymore.
Go figure.

Nvidia scaling for GTAIV

I noticed that if I lower the resolution to 1440x900 instead of 1650x1050 and turn on Nvidia's scaling instead of checking the box that says to use the digital display's scaling, the game not only looks better, but I get an extra 10fps.
The setting to change is in the Nvidia control panel and I think it only works if you have a display connected via the DVI output on your card.

I know this is out of topic but I can another reverse cell phone lookup and it worked.

My sister's birthday

My sister loves Pringles, and she just turned 20, so for her 20th birthday I bought her 20 boxes of Pringles. I got a discount because I work in a gas station and we sell them here.
She loved the present.

This actually worked

I kind of feel ashamed but I found a service online to run a reverse lookup on a cell phone number and it actually worked. I won't say why I did it or where the number showed up but I was pretty pissed off when I found out who it belongs to.... that's why I've been playing GTA IV to cool off and waste a bunch of innocent people in the game.
I was trying to find the number on google but nothing came up, but this site did and they offered a reverse cell phone number trace for the number I was looking for. I hesitated for a while and I came back later and I gave them my hard earned money and it worked. The site is called tracethisnumber.com.
I kind of wish I had never done it because it hurt my feelings to find out who the number belonged to but at least I am not wasting my time with the girl anymore.

OK, back to GTA IV.

GTA IV

I've been playing GTAIV and I have to say that this is the best game I've ever played, even though it crashes every 2 hours on my computer and I have to restart it and I somtimes lose my mission progress.
I hope Rockstar Games patches it soon.

I think Roman is a moron and I think Mikhail Faustin really needs to chill out.

Wow, I have a blog

I finally gave in and created my first blog. I'll try posting here whenever I get bored.
