hi I ran the downgrade program to change the version of san andreas from v2 to v1. I installed the hot coffee mod, but when I press Y for coffee with the girl, I just get a black screen and I have to use ctrl-alt-del to get out.
Can you give me the link to the enhanced version of Hot Coffee made by ZAZ in a pm? I tried to open a saved game that was from saved using the hot-coffee mod and in the saved game it has hot-coffee checked. Im getting the blank screen and then I tab out and then it says not responding.
Nvm, I figured it out. I went to Zaz's website and he had a better mod, its like hot coffee but your girlfriend follows you everywhere and you can have sex anywhere, its awesome. I also installed the Nude Cj skin, so he's nude when having sex. LOL. I love this game.
I got my hands on two issues of the same Computer Games magazine, Both cover the controversy over Hot Coffee. What it misses, as it went to press, it covered JUST HAPPENING legal measures regarding Take2 and Rockstar, the backlash took some time to build.
I'll be scanning this for Photobucket since it's a lot to just type up, however, most of you guys know Patrick Wildenborg discovered it, and he's still a member of the GTAForums, of course, well respected, This noted article comments on his position at the time, even declining an ABC TV news interview, and probably because he was not there to defend Modding, or Speak to it's relevance in gaming, from the interview conducted prior for the game, Rockstar rep said that the studio had an open policy that precipitated modding by those who well, Mod.
The Modding community seems a small section, but this case REALLY put into play stringent rating overhaul so that anything NOT mentioned by developers would STILL hold them accountable when a game goes to a board for it's retail rating requirements. This also happens to be important for Australia's ratings of Entertainment and other locales, though the USA is stressed in the article.
Key people also involved you can look up: Hillary Clinton, Jack Thompson, Doug Lowenstein, Devin Winterbottom (who said Rockstar leave open their games for Modders!!), Paul Eibeler of Take2 at that time, CEO
The system tray icon is there but when I click anywhere e.g Open Messages, Settings, Open Time Tracker etc It shows black screen.I also tried uninstallation, restarting the laptop and installing a fresh copy again but it still showed the same error. The graphic drivers are installed and up to date.
As a tennis player, I had grown for years, grown and grown, until all my resources were exhausted. A capitalism where the only labor which was exploited was my own. The last few years of my career, I stagnated. When the possibility of a recession closed in on me I had a sound enough mind to retire. The good news is: as a person, there is always room to grow.
Very simple. BROCCOLI SEASON is upon us, friends. I got a big flash of PTSD when I turned on my TV to see grass courts lurking in that damned black screen, their creepy non-sounds when the tennis balls hit the court and those weird tiny, little steps players have to take to not face-PLANT (yes, this is your daily wordplay alert) at all times. Ugh. Get off my lawn! Literally.
I hope you like grass courts better than I do and will enjoy some once-in-a-lifetime serve&volley play la Stefan Edberg. Come to think of it, I really do like Stefan Edberg. May you use the exact right amount of salt on your food this week!
The Monday when I woke up as the 9th best tennis player in the world in 2011 was a sunny one. I remember that I ate strawberries for breakfast and two eggs over-easy on toast. It was a time before I needed coffee in the morning to wake myself up, full of vitality for vitality\u2019s sake. I was sitting on my phone, refreshing the WTA website which was crashing over and over again, waiting impatiently for the proof that I, in fact, had accomplished the goal of being one of the ten best tennis players in the world.
Looking back at it now, I cringe. I know I shouldn\u2019t because it is past-Andrea who thought her life depended on a number next to her name but it doesn\u2019t change the fact that present-Andrea still feels a tinge of shame for past-Andrea.
I thought that one particular sunny Monday with strawberries and eggs, the most banal day of the week, will change my life. I thought it will give me eternal happiness and never-ending funds, probably a new pair of Prada shoes from now on until forever and sunglasses to go with them because I have a great sunglass face. It didn\u2019t. I still felt sad for being away from home so much and for losing tennis matches and most likely for some guy who never called me back.
When the crashing of the website subsided and I saw the 9 next to my name I felt elation for the length of exactly five seconds. Then, everything returned right back to normal. For the next week or so, I could artificially evoke the euphoria I had felt when i had seen the new Monday morning ranking by secretly loading the same website over and over again. After a week, the elation was gone, the euphoria had disappeared. In its stead nestled the ugly face of ambition. 9 was great and fine but all I could see were the 8 other women in front of me. I was sure that if could somehow tackle them (metaphorically speaking, I\u2019m not Tonya Harding) the elation would linger, the euphoria would stay.
It\u2019s a funny thing: rankings. So fair, yet so cruel. The ranking never lies. It reflects exactly and accurately where you stand at any given day as a tennis player. And that is precisely where I had gotten it all wrong. Being number 9 in the world was a reflection of the work I had put in as a tennis player. The years on court, the days in the gym, the hours of meditation. The healthy eating, the eight hours of sleep, the stretching. Andrea, the tennis player, had grown not Andrea, the human being. But Andrea, the human being, expected to reap the rewards. The missing piece within me I had hoped to find in ranking points and victories had never been there. I had been looking in the wrong place all along.
It\u2019s important to have ranking goals as a professional athlete. It will help you work through challenges and accept losses. It keeps you urging forward and dare new things in training. The challenges and losses on the path just seem like a necessary evil on the way to glory when you have a vivid image of success in mind. That image is what keeps you afloat when the rest of the boat is sinking. That image is Rose on the door while Jack is drowning. Accomplished ranking goals, however, are just that: accomplished goals. They do not make you feel more complete as a person.
In my experience, growing as a human will always reflect well on your game but growing as a tennis player will not necessarily have the same result for the human being. Sometimes the contrary happens. It\u2019s just two different departments of work, like marketing and accounting. But I had mingled them all together and could not fathom the disappointment that awaited me in the next room.
The sunshine seemed grey, the strawberries\u2019 taste stale. I had gotten one thing right though. It did change my life. No free Pradis, no, not at all. I, from now on, felt hunted and hounded by all the other women who were breathing down my neck. The 10th and 11th and 12th best players in the world - and all the others behind me. I thought the 8 in front of me were the problem when in reality the ones behind me were the real issue at hand. They were the ones who wouldn\u2019t let me sleep at night. Defending something can take a lot more energy out of you than attacking.
Later in life, when I had done the work off-court as well, victories were fewer because I had gotten older but they stayed with me longer. I cherished them like a brittle flower. The spike of euphoria, as quickly gone as the WTA website takes to crash, was no more. What remained was contentment with a good day\u2019s work.
I sometimes think back of my naivet\u00E9 of those days when I thought that being number 9 in the world was the beginning of something grand. When in reality being number 9 in the world had been the \u201Csomething grand\u201D itself. I was just incapable of seeing it.
Just this week, I came across Slavoj Zizek\u2019s interpretation of Titanic (hence the little reference earlier in this piece). He argues that in actuality Titanic is a critic of how the upper classes (Rose) exploit the lower classes (Jack) for their supposed zest for life but then leave them behind (the door was big enough for two!) when they have gotten what they need. I loved it. Here is his full argument:
I hope you like grass courts better than I do and will enjoy some once-in-a-lifetime serve&volley play \u00E0 la Stefan Edberg. Come to think of it, I really do like Stefan Edberg. May you use the exact right amount of salt on your food this week!
How to use a Vietnamese coffee filter? Put the filter atop a glass or cup. Add the coffee (use about twice as much as for a regular cup), screw on the screen snug, then add about 2 tablespoons of very hot (just-boiled) water to moisten. When the water is more or less gone, unscrew the screen slightly to release pressure, top off with more just-boiled water.
