I've never played GTA but I know about the explicit scenes you can hack into. Can't help you with it but you might search http://www.g4tv.com/ for the hacks. There's a Cheats! show you could try or X-Play. I watch Attack of The Show and X-Play and know I've seen them tell what the hacks were.

...and Olivia Munn on AOTS is HOT!

There have been some character swab hacks on P/C games. I remember changing my characters to Homer Simpson instead of some scary looking guy I was playing as.

I'll do some digging up to clarify further.

He-he, just finished playing COD II on "Veteran" (or whatever the hardest setting is) for the second time 2 weeks ago. That game is so awesome! I didn't really realize just how good it was until I started MOH Pacific Assault on "Realistic" again right afterwards. COD II beats it hands down.

Curious, what's your favorite weapon in COD? I like the BAR, then the sniper rifle .

I just might try some online COD. Is it league type play or do you just join a side and play whenever you want?

I prefer the StG44 when its available or the M1921 Browning Automatic Rifle

For sniper rifles you can't beat the old M1903 Springfield scoped rifle although the scoped Gewher 43 is handy for those intense moments where a bolt action isn't fast enough.

I've had HL2 Episode1 for a few weeks and can't stop playing it!

You know you like a game when you play it twice. I did that with COD II and like you, the second time was played at the highest level. I really like using the M1 Garand. It packs a wallop and while you can't reload it, I still like it best. I'm not fan of the "spray and pray".

If you start COD MP (multi-player) it connects you with a ton of online games you can join. You pick a type of game and a map and click to join in. You'll find your favorite servers that have the settings you like and the maps you like. There are even some with custom maps that are really cool. There is one server that has a custom map of Alcatraz. It's a blast.

Cool on the HL2 Episode, I haven't loaded it yet. Probably tomorrow. I didn't even know it was out until today when I stopped at Best Buy to check out some music CDs and browsed the games.

And yes, the STG44 is real nice. Better than the Thompson at long range accuracy but I really like the knock-down power of the BAR! I usually cary both if I can find an STG and collect enough ammo. Wish the BAR could cary more rounds in a clip though. Have to reload more often but that's offset by it's ability to easily drop an opponent in one or two shots.

Exactly my thoughts on the Springfield and Gewher 43 too.

You got that right. I rarely play a game more than once. Most are "Been there, done that". COD II and Far Cry have been the exceptions lately. If you haven't tried Far Cry, you should! It's really amazing. The outdoor maps are so open and give you so many ways to approach/attack your enemies. You're not locked into a corridor as much as most games.

On weapons choice, the M1 is a great one. I use it almost like a sniper rifle sometimes. I like the BAR for similar reasons. Packs an even bigger wallop, but you can reload it anytime. It also gives you the option of automatic fire when needed. Can be used as single-shot weapon too. That's mostly the way I use it. The "Spray and Pray" method is not the best tactic anyway IMO.

Thanks for the info on COD MP. I'm def gonna try it out. If you happen to see a guy named "Ishniknork" in there sometime, DON'T SHOOT ME!

I am gonna grab a copy of COD II this afternoon. As I said I am never good at battle game... It would purely a research purpose. I want to find out how they have mascerated/cheated out lagging and attenuation issues as a former network game developer.

How's it running on your system? Mine's got some issue with my video driver, and I'm up to date on that, my BIOS, sound driver, etc. VERY annoying...

I love SSX Tricky

Well, I spent 2.5 hours downloading the darn thing late last night and haven't played it yet. I forgot about the STEAM thing, that's really a bummer with Valve. Spent today over in Dallas at the Hard Rock Cafe listening to my nephews' cover band "Hard Night's Day" http://hardnightsday.com/ and just got back. I'll try to let you know tomorrow (Monday).

Oops, I just noticed, it's already tomorrow...
