I completed GTA San Andreas!! Finally!

I was trying to complete this game from around 1 year and now I have completed it! The first time I started playing it my computer got in a fix and then I had to format it. The second time I started it, my brother took the game away with him. So once again I had to give it up. I had kept the Saved game files safely but this time when I started it again, I had forgotten most of the names and stuff so I said I might as well start it from beginning and so I did!

Also, another thing that has taken place is that I've reached Level 25 Defias Brotherhood on GS! It's been a long journey to the Silver Level!

And now I've started playing Resident Evil 4! I am playing Colin McRae Rally side by side too, but the main game I am playing is RE 4 on my father's PC 'coz my Graphics Card is not able to support it. It's sure been a long time since I got it, 3 years ago, though I got it replaced a few months back, but the same model, FX 5200!

But I think now next time, I'll try to buy an Xbox 360 rather than upgrade as it is a cheaper alternative than upgrading every 6 months or so! But it is a distant dream currently! So maybe I'll get it after an year or so!

And in between I might get a decent GFX card, as nothing is fixed with me!

That's all for now, see you peeps in ur blogs!

Thanx,

Firoze!

Hi All!

I've got one more nice opportunity to blog! Recently, I watched three movies in a time gap of 3 days!! And I must say all of them were really good!!

SO these are the movies I watched:

• The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian
• Speed Racer
• Bhootnath (An Indian movie)

I loved Narnia the most! I think it was definitely better than the first one as I do remember understanding almost nothing and just watching the movie for time-pass's sake! But this time I really understood it and it was a lot interesting too! The effects added were amazingly solid and you'll remember them even after you leave the movie!

I watched Narnia and Bhootnath on Sunday at the theatre. Bhootnath is a movie mainly for kiddies but it's nice and tickles your funny bone at a number of times, although some songs shot in it were more like commercials for a kids' clothes company!

I just finished watching Speed Racer now, Tue noon, and thought I would post a blog about the movies. Speed Racer was nice too but I preferred Narnia over it as it was more of sets and half of the stuff went by so fast and in a flash that I could not actually see what happened! I rented it for my PC just this morning.

Other Stuff

I had left our town for a week or so to go to Bombay for the summer holidays. It was more of a rush-rush! And there I went to a place called Lamington Road where you get all the hottest techno stuff for dirt cheap rates!!! It's not piracy, but the thing is there are so many shops there that the competition is too tough for high prices! WEll, good for me!

I was thinking of getting a new Graphics Card but then I dumped the idea and instead got a brand new set of Creative SBS A300 Subwoofer speakers!!! This was the first time I myself chose something for my computer and bought it! It wasn't too costly, it was Rs 1200 or say around $28!

My brother also got me a 4 GB Transcend Pen Drive and I love it!!!!

Our camera has gone in repairs, or else, I was surely thinking of putting up the pics of new stuff!

The Gaming Front...

Yeaaaah!!! I am still playing GTA SA and am having lotsa fun!! WIth the new speakers I like to crash and boom and shoot stuff!

Also, I borrowed Colin McRae Rally 2005 from a friend, as one of my GS friends spoke very highly of it! I installed it and it works perfect! I still have just played once or twice but I enjoyed it! The challenge of driving is really good!

WEll, that's all for now...

See You Next Time!

Firoze!

... I play GTA San Andreas...

Yeah, I hadn't comleted a few last missions (I think) so I started it all over again 'coz I don't have any other to play and I can't let my vacation waste can I?

But I faced a problem. While I can install GTA SA on the both OSes on my PC (2000 & XP) I could start playing it only on 2000. Dunno why, but when I try to play it on XP it gives its normal error of unexpected behaviour thingy and the app had to close, also giving that Debug button. I tried again and again and even tried to run it with compatibility as 2000, but it didn't work. Do you guys know why it works on 2000 and not on XP?

I had recently transformed my XP to look like Vista (a complete transformation pack, changed everything, icons, themes, windows, sounds, stuff). B4 my GTA SA worked perfectly. Could the whole transformation be responsible for this thing?

If you have any ideas please comment them. Would highly appreciate ur help for playing on XP rather than restarting to 2000 whenver I want to play!

Thanx,

Firoze!

EDIT - My GTA SA works!! I had an idea! I went and downloaded a No DVD patch for the game and copied it into the directory of the game and it worked in a jiffy!!! I didn't think it might work! It's amazing that now I'll be able to retain the Vista look and play right on my XP!! What's more, I can now remove the DVD from the drive, and no need to have it everytime I play! Thanx!
