Sorry you don't find her attractive, most guys do though. Enough so that she is a highly successful model.
Oh she is attractive.....from the neck down. Like I said earlier she's a butterface, everything looks good "but her face".

BTW, there are plenty of successful yet dog ugly models out there too.

I'm having a lot of fun taking pictures lately. For creative types this game is so good.

Seems the most recent patch has lowered overall vram usage?Before it i couldn't even enable all settings without msaa without capping out the 3.5gb on my 970.Now i can with 2x msaa and 2x reflective as well and hit about 3.4gb.This is at 1080p of course.

Not sure if the insane amount of virtual memory usage is still about.I notice a ton less hard drive activity as i play now.

So this is a weird one. I finally got my PC hooked back up to my entertainment center/TV, and when I'm running the game to the TV, when I bring up the cell phone, it's horizontally compressed and shrunk in the middle of the screen. When I run that game on my PC monitor, it's fine. So... that's odd. I heard rumor that it had to do with multi-monitor setups, but I've got two monitors and a TV hooked up, and it's only when outputting to the TV that it's an issue.

Not my picture, but this is exactly what it's doing to me:

I have a new graphics card coming this week, so we'll see if a new card plus a driver wipe/reinstall fixes things. If not... balls. Because that's moderately annoying.

no country for old men trailer.


I would watch feature length films in this medium.


I am trying to talk a band that has music in the game to offer music for a DLC so they can do a virtual concert in the game.




If you guys havent used the quick mission option it makes getting into the fray really easy. I basically do that when I start and find a couple of good peeps and grind the random missions for a coulple hours. Money comes in so fast havent wanted to do any heists or setups for a while unless my static logs on.


Even if you die you can spectate and watch the other players and learn. If you die in a heists its game over for everyone. At least in missions the others can complete and carry you.

Made a crazy amount of money last few days grinding missions with peeps above rank 100.

same thing happened to a friend. He set the aspect ratio to his monitor from auto and unplugged his second monitor which was a smaller res. When he did those things and did a steam check on this files everything worked fine for him. What card and how much ram do you have?

I found this list helpful for mission payouts:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...0th_pOBksqVGusoBdlA/edit?pli=1#gid=1889204387

Holed up burton looks to be the most efficient mission to solo, though i agree it's best to just do quick job > contact mission, and then just go from there. Each additional person you have gives 10%. On top of that, 10% bonus for playing with friends. I think 20% for playing with crew members.

Ill gotten gains 2 next week: http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire. Looks almost as boring as the first one.

The brawler looks very interesting. If its as a fast a a kuruma could be cool. The Coquette fin looks promising though it just occupies a niche we already have. Same with all the other vehicles.

TOTALLY dissapointed in the fucking boat. WHO THE HELL CARES>


Was totally hoping that last slot in the boat page would be a 20 million dollar houseboat with a helipad that you can drive around. Even if it was slow as hell imagine parking off the pier right there or taking it over to Chumash. Moving house I sooo wanted theeee



Ya the bonus's pile up and make a HUUGE difference over the course of a night. I was messing around witha couple RL buddies one of who was in the room whith me logged into his steam account on of my other machines and we made 2 million in about 4 hours. We did a mix of missions and quest setups getting ready for a PAC farm run and made all that money without even doing the missions.




I am REALLY hoping the t20 has KERS!

Finally unbanned. And I got to keep all my snacks! Well worth it. Wish I had bothered to, like, buy 20x osiris or something so i could now sell them for 30m. $0 is where it's at. Oh well. If money isn't relevant then there's no point in playing, I suppose. So it's probably for the best.

walked out of a mission and had a bunch of FIB UFOS around me and a maze of chirstmas trees appeared. Only way was to walk trough the maze littered with cash bags.


Was afraid to lose my 6 million that I made legitimately so I switched sessions. I bet it was a honey pot trap! Rockstar getting wily..

It's only double rp on missions(not cash). The double cash is for their playlists, which feature last team standing, some races, and parachuting etc, which I don't really do.

ya figured that out today. Not horrible but kinda a dick move on RS. Very happy to get a fireworlks launcher and am zero for 2 in getting the beer hat to drop.


Getting to buy the monster truck is nice too though I am probably not gonna get it since the new cars next week will cost mint.

What would it take for them to at least give us some new missions. OK we get it they dont want to do heists but wtf missions shouldnt be that hard to make and add say 5 an update. GEEZ get rid of the crap ones if its a limitation.

They don't spend money making content, probably because of the volatility of the shark card market, especially considering modifications. They don't even bother paying for dedicated servers, so usually you're hosted by some guy in a country you can't spell using satellite for internet or something. They rely on people participating in all activities. Unfortunately most of them just aren't enjoyable to most people. They seem to be acknowledging this by encouraging us to do shit like parachuting, which is fun but only for a couple hours (being generous).

Seems like most people only do contact missions. It's the only type of game you can join where you will instantly have a group and never, ever have to wait for people. Then they usually do the same 3 or 4 missions over and over. Which you eventually do as well. You make mini games like racing to the titan or something. That becomes the entire point of the mission. Being first at the titan. If you lose you basically just go afk in shame and wait for the next time titan of a job is picked (Often the very next mission!). It's not even an inconvenience to anyone since if you aren't there first then you'd likely be arriving at the same time the titan is taking off and have nothing to do for 5 minutes anyway.
