Re: General discussion chat I have been in one school bus crash and another has happened at my current school involving two coaches. The one i was in was a primary school minibus. Was only at around 10mph at time of impact so that was pretty much fine, only injury was the bus lady (both a driver and separate supervisor are required on primary school buses) who broke her arm. The minibus tboned a car that pulled out in front of it at a junction. The other one was between two coaches, a car stopped on a 40mph corner on my bus route that has fairly low visibility, the two coaches were driving one after the other and the first one managed to stop in time but the second couldn't and went into the back of it pushing it into the traffic in front. There were around 100 students involved many of which had whiplash etc. Only major injury was that one driver damaged their thumb quite badly. Only picture i could find, as you can see it wasn't a very hard impact: I dont know of any pictures of the one that i was in but the front end of the ford transit van minibus wasn't looking to good after the incident, it was crumpled a bit with the engine bay visible. - - - Updated - - - I run San Andreas on my phone with a 100% save file so that everything is unlocked that also has the max amount of money. Then i also use an app called Cleo which is a cheat engine that allows me to spawn in any vehicle or activate many of a very large list of cheats through an in game menu (requires root afaik). I also have it connected up to an iControlPad so i can play the game without covering my phone screen. I then put my gs2 on charge from my portable battery bank while i do that, this setup means that i have a pretty awesome way to waste time if i need to when i am not at home. So what if the poor phone's battery temp states 55*c I do feel sorry for my phone sometimes, it has a hard life
Re: General discussion chat I just played it on my Nexus 7 a lot last year since that was before I got my phone and my school issued Chromebook. (I don't usually like to bring my laptop to school with me. It's heavy and I don't want it to break or get all scratched up like my old one did.) Since I reinstalled Android every once in awhile (Had a glitch where if the battery died while I was using it it would completely bork. Didn't bother to fix it until recently.) but I always relied on the online backup for GTA SA which has never failed me until recently. As for battery, if I wanted to I could bring one of my two battery packs (One is a small cheapo 2,600mah solar charger and the other one is a bigass Powercastle 26,000mah that I use for my laptop sometimes.) but last year I just used a wall charger. I think it's still in my backpack which is nice to know if my phone ever dies.
Re: General discussion chat wow, even with all the rain coming, it'll still take until 2016 for aquifers to normalize
Re: General discussion chat i hate ubishit so freaking much right now I JUST WANT TO PLAY DRIVER:SF, but NOOOOOOOOO, it has to have horrible support for windows 8.1 :/ i had it working too before i had to refresh(windows 8/8.1 feature, leaves personal data intact, uninstalls all software) my pc earlier this year but now that method refuses to fix it i can install it fine but run it? NOPE just get the "loading" mouse showing up for a few seconds and NOTHING HAPPENS
Re: General discussion chat Console Peasant moment = It runs fine on my Xbox. Normal PC Master Race moment = My Xbox is so unpowerful.
Re: General discussion chat *puts driver sf into my xbox* *plays online with the glitched free trial that never expired*
Re: General discussion chat Hmm... Maybe a re-installation of Windows 7 will do my system good. I'll re-seat the ram and GPU, ixnay the buzzy fan. We'll be right as rain in a couple hours.
Re: General discussion chat i have it on xbox, but i don't want to play it on xbox right now, i want to play it on PC
Re: General discussion chat I use a 12,000 mah EasyAcc power bank. Our school has very few power outlets in the sixth form areas, IT suites have lots of usb ports but they aren't as powerful as the battery bank. I also like that it lets me stay fairly mobile and is thinner than a plug socket. In terms of computing power i have two portable computers that i take two school, my phone (galaxy s2 [3 years old]) and my pda (hp jornada 540 [14 years old]). The PDA is a pocket solitaire machine that happens to be able to run for a week on a single charge, my phone does basically everything else. Although i do get some odd looks from some of the younger students, since the PDA is around 2 years older than them. Its weird that many of them have no idea what a cassette tape or diskette are. Those were a staple of my childhood. Im 18 in three days and thanks to technology and being surrounded by small people i am already feeling old EDIT: I can also charge my Bluetooth gamepad and someone else in needs iphone at the same time as my phone which is quite nice to be able to do. Although the people with iPhone 5's seem to be in way more need for battery banks than anyone else, quite a few of them are not even lasting till they get home even if they plug it into a computer for an hour.
Re: General discussion chat Well the game was made a good while before windows 8 was a thing. Just try running it in compatibility mode. Runs at like 130fps with enb mods on my PC Your xbox is indeed unpowerful.
Re: General discussion chat I've always wondered why people say "I can't wait to smash this car!" They're basically saying that after you work on it for ages and finally release it the first thing they'll do to it is smash it into a wall.
Re: General discussion chat Hmm, if off topic posts no longer count towards post count, shouldn't off topic thanks also be ignored?
Re: General discussion chat i've literally tried EVERYTHING that ANYONE has EVER posted for fixing driver: sf on w8/8.1 even a VM nothing works (even the fix that did work for me before the refresh) sadly not all that surprising because it's ubishit
