Hundred years old lightbulb that still works? I wouldn't be so sure.

They do also operate the VH-60N, which is a variant of the Blackhawk/Seahawk. http://en.wikipedia....ter_tornado.jpg

Try this one instead - it's inside a fire station in California. Actually the webcam is there to monitor the lightbulb that has apparently been constantly on since over 100 years. http://www.centennialbulb.org/cam.htm

Moved. And no, don't worry, posting in the wrong forum is not a cause for warnings (unless of course it's done dozens of time on purpose, which is something I have yet to see happen). We just move it and that's that. To answer your question, is your version of San Andreas from Steam/another game download site, or did you use an old CD version you had? If it's the latter, maybe you installed an old version of DirectX that is not compatible with newer games and/or your graphics card. Try to get the latest version of DirectX and see if that helps. Otherwise, it could just be an unrelated issue where your graphics card is going buh-bye. I hope that's not the issue, because the solution then involves buying a new graphics card.

Friendly advice from a semi-professional technical writer, you don't need separate items to say "press this to turn this on" and "press this again to turn this off". A single item saying "Press this to toggle X" takes less space. Apart from that, I'd say you're missing an "Awesome" button. The one that flashes in rhythm with a dubstep song.

One more useless post like this one and I'm resetting your postcount to 0.

Let's not kick people down bottomless wells just yet, mmmkay?

Man, I thought he was breakdancing.

Added a few items to my list.

Like NFK, I don't think the list is complete. That would amount to merely 55 road vehicles in the game, whereas GTA 4 had around 150 (125 without the DLC). And some people already complained that there were fewer cars in GTA4 than in San Andreas. At 55, you don't have a lot of variety on the roads. Being the obsessive GTA fan that I am, I took some time to analyze the vehicle names that seem to be new to the series. bobsleigh : First in a series of vehicle names that seem to indicate there will be a snowy area of some kind in GTA5. Now, seeing as the game is set in SoCal/LA, I don't quite see how that would be possible, unless the game world is actually HUGE (RDR did have a snowy area - and the GTA5 trailer hinted at a tall snowcapped mountain a.k.a. "Mount Chiliad") or Rockstar is just trolling us. If there is indeed snow, than this might just be what the name says it is - a bobsleigh. brzbus : Obviously some kind of bus, although I'm not quite sure what the brz stands for. Could be a prefix that indicates it is mission/character/gang related. Brazilians, maybe? casco : Spanish word for "helmet". My guess is that this is a construction vehicle of some kind - maybe a front-end loader. cadge : From the dictionnary, a cadge is "a circular frame on which cadgers carry hawks for sale". Erm. Yeah. I doubt there is enough room in GTA for a falconry-related vehicle. Your guess is as good as mine on this one. Edit 22/05: If we stretch it, falconry is usually an aristocrat hobby, so this *could* be the Bentley Continental seen in the trailer. car_brzhatchplc : See brzbus. I'm really starting to think the brazilian theory makes sense. car_brzsedanplc : See above. car_brzhatchjnk : See above. car_brzsedanjnk : See above. carga : Spanish for "load" or "freight". Probably a truck of some kind. If you give any credit to my casco theory, this could be a dump truck to work along the casco. cs2000 : The name suggests it could be some kind of sports car, likely JDM. dune : A dune buggy, obviously. I think there was one in San Andreas with that same name. furzen : German for "fart". Oh, Rockstar. You will never grow up. Probably a german car - could be the Boxster lookalike from the trailer. gant : No idea about this one. "gant" does mean "glove" in French, so it could be another of the "snow" cars. Then again, Gant Bridge was also the name of the Golden Gate bridge in San Andreas - but then I don't see what this would have to do with a car's name. hauler : Obviously a big rig. Maybe the new one I spotted in the trailer that seemed to be based on GTA4's Biff. I think San Andreas had a rig called the Hauler. prairie : Sounds like a good name for a farm-related vehicle - and the trailer hinted at the presence of farms - but your guess is as good as mine. Pickup truck? Tractor? Harvester? ... you know you want it to be a harvester. rhino : For GTA fans, "Rhino" is synonymous with "tank". Seeing as the APC is already listed seperately (it was a Cadillac-Gage V100 in GTA4:TBoGT), this is probably the real deal. I don't see any other contenders than the M1A1 Abrams tank - hopefully with real tracks instead of wheels this time (C'mon Rockstar, even the last Saints Row had implemented actual tracks). seinove : No idea about this one. skimobile : Another snow vehicle. Most likely a snowmobile. winky : Weird name. Could be some kind of food truck a la Mr Whoopee. railmu : The "rail" part suggests it could be some kind of train, though it is not listed with the trains. Either you have to take the word as a whole ("railmu"), and it kind of sounds japanese. Or you consider the "rail" part is important and the rest is cut off, hinting at a railway maintenance truck that can also drive on roads. flatty : Probably some kind of flatbed truck. snowplough : The last snow vehicle, again with a self-explanatory name. On a side note, I'd be inclined to believe this list is incomplete as I have seen no mention of the Mesa Grande (Jeep) or the Phoenix ('70s Trans Am), although two vehicles that may very well be their GTA5 equivalents appeared in the trailer. Also no mention of the Deceptor, which is rumored to be the name of the Audi R8 lookalike from the trailer, nor of the Landstalker, the Habanero, the Huntley and the Premier, which also appear in it. And no Esperanto, Perennial, Stallion, Sentinel, Manana or Moonbeam, even though these cars have been in every GTA episode since 3. Edit 22/05: Thought I'd also look at other parts of the list: Helis: Autogiro: Pretty self-explanatory name. This one's going to be weird - I can see it being used during a mission given by an oddball character. Bchopper: Again, the "b" prefix... brazilian chopper? Bentham: British, kind of posh-sounding... maybe an Agusta-Westland AW101 executive heli? Hind: Wait, what? No way? I doubt that's the name they will actually use in the game. But the hint is very obvious - russian Hind attack helicopter. What it would be doing in the US is completely beyond me - maybe a movie helicopter or privately-owned, I doubt there would be a "US invasion" mission or that the in-game military would somehow be using it. Napalm: Most likely an attack helicopter. Apache or Cobra - I'd go for the Cobra due to the "napalm" name possibly evoking the Vietnam war, during which the Apache wasn't in service yet. Scamp: Due to the name, I'd go for a smaller chopper - smaller than the Maverick. Maybe a Hughes 500D - but a civilian version, unlike TBoGT. Heli_vcpf: Not sure what the VCPF suffix stands for. Would have made sense if the game had been set in Vice City,,, Heli_tfe: Not a clue about that suffix. Planes: Just the fact that there is only 1 plane in the list whereas there were at least 3 in the trailer indicate that the list is incomplete. cuban800 kinda sounds like it could be an executive jet - maybe the one seen in the trailer (and then it wouldn't be called Shamal like in San Andreas. That was a weird name anyway.) Boats: Bassboy: A fishing boat, obviously. Chika: Sounds like "chica"... think about it... bikini chicks tanning on the deck of a luxury yacht? FIsher: Again, a fishing boat. Fishboat_(a thru d): And more fishing boats. I wonder if there could actually be fishing side missions in the game... because that's a whole lot of fishing boats. Gunboat: A gun boat, obviously. Perhaps a Coast Guard boat. Sabs_boat: Who's Sab? Because this might be his boat. small_gb2: Something small, but I have no idea what it is exactly. P_mi_botfsh: This one is rather cryptic. But then again, "fsh" might mean "fishing". Whaler: Whoa whoa whoa. Whales? Really? Man, how HUGE is that map? Woody: Could be a rowboat... Woody2: Also a rowboat. Sporto: Probably a fast boat. Tinny: Maybe a "tiny" boat. Or a boat made of tin. Or both. Yeah, I'd go for a small tin boat. Contbo: I wonder if the "cont" part could mean "Contraband". Perhaps a boat used by mexican smugglers. Smug: The plot thickens. The smuggling boat theory kinda makes sense. Edsboat: Ed might be Sab's buddy. And also has his own boat. Trains: cablecar: A cable car, just like the Roosevelt Island cable car in GTA 4. Although I suspect this one will be used to get around Mount Chiliad. Chairlift: Again, something snow related, and this one implies that ski may be possible in the game. subway_lo and subway_hi: Just a hint that Los Santos has a subway system that's possibly independent from the rail system. train_(insert suffix here); There are probably trains going around the map, like in San Andreas and RDR. My guess would be that there are both freight and passenger trains - the latter probably based on Amtrak's California Zephyr. lighty: Maybe some kind of MOW railcar.

Well, you managed to draw a lightning bolt and to use the text tool, instead of just mashing up the spray paint tool. And, most important of all, you actually managed to put it on a model (or should I say you actually wasted a few minutes of your life to model this and skin it... meh) Had you submitted this entry last month, you would objectively have been a (baby) step ahead of xbox360 in deserving to win this contest. But then you still wouldn't have had my vote because PARTY VANS F*CKING RULE!

WTF? I thought I had suspended your posting privileges. *Fixing*

Trololololo.

I knew this wasn't yours when I noticed it wasn't just a vehicle's skin sprayed with random colors in MS Paint. Model theft is something we frown upon, but picture theft is just... sad and pathetic, frankly. It nonetheless constitutes an attempt to claim someone else's work as your own, and thus is a bannable offense. I noticed you were leaving on your own anyway, but I'm suspecting this is just a drama queen move, so I'll make sure it's not.

Is it true that your toilets are only a hole in the ground? How's that working out for you if it is the case?

Use the Edit button. Not that this is in any way related to your problem, but I want you to use it instead of triple posting like you're doing.

We did, didn't we?

Last post : a year ago. Thread dead. Locked. Bye.

HA! Nice one, hadn't thought about that.

I'd have to check, but I think it's a canadian company. Wait, no, it's a different one. Oklahoma, actually. But then again, I erased their incriminating posts. And meh, you know how this goes, they're probably subcontracting with an asshat that spams us from a country where spamming is legal. I'm looking at you, Kazakhstan! India. Yeah, I don't think India is under the FCC's jurisdiction. Unless they've got a Bollywood version of it with mustachioed dudes in short sleeve shirts wearing dark sunglasses and dancing with women in colourful traditional dresses. And elephants. And monkeys pushing people off balconies. No kidding, India will turn anything into an upbeat song and dance routine. Here, for no reason, Indian Thriller:

No kidding, I'd rig this contest to make you a winnar if I could. Actually, the thing is, I really could. Moderator tools allow me to rig contests. Scary, ain't it?

Well they did leave their email when registering. Too bad there are mechanisms now to prevent you from signing up people to gay porn mailing lists against their will.

See the date of the last post? 2009. As in "Nobody has had any interest in this, and there hasn't been any new developments, since a hot summer day almost 3 years ago". For your unexplainable interest in browsing old pages and reactivating a topic that has been dead for 3 years, you have been handed a warning. Awwwwww sh*t, no, wait, you're a spambot. Damnit. This topic is now closed.

Best. Skin. Ever.
