I recently noticed that Grand Theft Auto wasn’t displaying at its promised 1080p (well, at least for the map and HUD and certain elements, as most of the game is actually, I believe, in 480p). I found that in order to get it to display in 1080p and not in 720p I had to go to Display Settings in the XMB and disable 720p and 1080i (you can’t disable 480p), and then the game ran at 1080p.
Hope this helps somebody out. Happy gaming!
I’ve recently been having loads of fun playing The Ballad of Gay Tony, the Grand Theft Auto IV expansion pack, now available with the other expansion pack The Lost & The Damned, for the Playstation 3, in a bundle called Episodes from Liberty City.
I needed a little help with missions and I ran into a great resource, the unofficial…
Enjoy.
Well, the latest episode of Doctor Who is out, and I’m here to give you a link to the torrent.
Enjoy!
We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.
-John F. Kennedy, 1962
The usually reticent Neil Armstrong went after Obama today on his lack of a “vision thing” for space travel in a letter signed by two other astronauts, James Lovell and Eugene Cernan.
Armstrong warns that scrapping manned missions to the moon and Mars and hitching rides with the Russians — for money — is not the hottest idea. “Without the skill and experience that actual spacecraft operation provides, the USA is far too likely to be on a long downhill slide to mediocrity,” Lovell, Armstrong, and Cernan said in the letter.
John F. Kennedy — a president who also gave the country one of its largest tax cuts — was not the sort of man who would have let us take a back seat to the rest of the world in the Space Race. But, even though he’ll spend close to a trillion dollars on his beloved and vaporific “Stimulus Package”, Barack Obama will not shell out the few billion needed to keep America in the manned space game for the next few years as we transition out of the Shuttle phase and into the early years of the Orion project.
Manned space travel is one of thew few things that makes people step back from their petty little lives, transcend themselves, and see life on a whole new level.
Barack Obama does not understand this. The “community organizer” is far more interested in continuing to sell his malignant health care “reform” package. Space travel is the triumph of the individual over great odds. Obama doesn’t have that kind of vision, never did, and never will.
Neil Armstrong and John F. Kennedy were right, and Barack Obama is wrong.
Well, the new season of Doctor Who has started, and I’m posting links to the first two episodes below. Note: You will need a Bittorent client to download these episodes.
Well, here I sit, ensconced in my new setup down in Eastham, Cape Cod, MA.
It’s so lovely and quiet here right now…so much less pretentious than Wellesley. I love it so far. Although we’ll see how much room I have left once I put a bed in here.
And I have a lovely new 1080p plasma TV — Panasonic, good brand.
The big move is next Tuesday, but I’ve come down here early since my computer and TV are down here. And bravo to Comcast for doing a good job installing everything. No problems whatsoever, everything is working great so far.
Now — time to go out on my deck and watch the sunset with a root beer in hand.
