  1. I'd be on board too, I could help run the business side of things a few years down the road, it'd be a cool concept of forum members coming together you know?
  2. I think indie studios and independent studios are making a big rise now though, and GTA is such a unique style in its own that someone will eventually create a new game that people will love, as much as it may suck to lose GTA, but I doubt that'll happened. Another thing though, just look at the gear that Rockstar sells now... Anyway, I always said I wanted a police sandbox, it's finally happening and a game called Police 10-13 is coming out next year. So there's a whole new generation of gaming to come anyway.
  3. Money be what money is man. I will now refrain from doing that though, sorry mayne.
  4. Link. No, I'm not finding it myself. Rockstar has been saying for years they wouldn't do a GTA movie, but they certainly wouldn't need Activision for anything if they have indeed changed their minds. A GTA movie is a terrible idea, no matter who has the rights, but that's beside the point. There's nothing worthwhile Activision could do for them that they couldn't ultimately do on their own. All they have to offer is money, just like EA, and Rockstar makes plenty on their own. http://www.breathecast.com/articles/grand-theft-auto-movie-rumors-rockstar-in-talks-for-film-adaptation-weighs-pros-cons-19190/ http://www.bidnessetc.com/24886-taketwo-stock-rises-on-speculation-of-gta-movie-and-expected-activision-dea/ After the $2 billion in revenue, I doubt they'd pass up the chance at a few more hundred million in revenue for a movie, especially if done right.
  5. The share price also went up after talks of a GTA movie, and Dan Houser believes the movie would be a step in the right direction as well. Activision wants to create a movie studio to take advantage of its intellectual property rights on its franchises. The acquisition of Take-Two Interactive will provide access to IP rights of some of the most widely acknowledged video games, which would help Activision even further. If it owned IP rights to things like Red Dead, Max Payne, and Borderlands as well as GTA, it would certainly launch Activision in a new direction, and I'm sure the Houser brothers would have some sort of rights to those films, as authors do when their books become movies. If Activision plays this out right, the Housers would be seeing a lot more money coming in, as well as Activision and its studios, and with the recent success of GTA I don't see why it wouldn't surpass something like the Need for Speed movie, which had over $200 million in revenue. In the end Take Two's biggest thing in mind is money, and if the price is right, they would certainly sell it off. For now it's just wait and see. Activision's share price has gone down a bit since the market closed Friday, but Take Two has remained pretty steady. Activision also owns Bungie.
  6. Either get yourself one of these, as they seem to have better quality, and in my opinion look better. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/CD-Receivers/FH-X700BT I have this one cause I bought it months ago haven't had it installed yet though, likely this weekend. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/CD-Receivers/FH-X720BT This is the updated model of above
  7. I kinda wish they sold the Ford Falcon Ute MKII outside of Australia.
  8. Just picked up 10 lobsters, 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 a pound each, $4.00 a pound.
  9. "On compacted snow surfaces in particular, they offer more space to form sipe edges, fill deeper tire tread grooves with snow, and increase friction between the rubber and snow. The handling properties of a car fitted with wider winter tires are also enhanced on compacted snow surfaces. Wide-base tires even offer advantages in deep snow: Their cornering stability is better than that of narrower tires and their braking distances are shorter. Narrower tires only have the advantage when it comes to traction in deep snow." - From a Continental press release entitled "Warm Slippers for the Colder Season". I won't be taking my Mustang off the road No more Crown Vic Ace?
  10. I'm getting all season tires, and bigger wheels = more traction. No need to keep switching very few months.
  11. I'm gonna head to a scrapyard and see if there are any Mustangs with good wheels
  12. I was standing to take the picture. The space begins after the first set of draws on the left, under the right side draw. Thing is, my chair is too big to fit under, not a huge deal but kinda annoying.
  13. Gonna be likely getting a new desk soon, bigger L-shape one, so here's current set up. Making the most of small spaces.
  14. They just seem a bit too small for me, maybe I'll pick up some plastidip so that way I can see what black wheels would generally look like in person before I buy anything.
  15. I like the spoilerless look, why do you think it needs a spoiler?
  16. I honestly just want the car to look good and the stock wheels don't cut it for me.
  17. I can't decide on wheels for the life of me. Third set is on clearance price for almost $100 off. I like the look of the solid black FR500's though (last). Mine for reference.
  18. Plus, all that shit makes it fucking impossible to get any work done. I put a master cylinder into a newer car a bit ago; maneuvering a wrench was torture. Grab a socket
  19. Took a little over an hour, sounds good too, looks even better.
  20. K&N is $242.99 and stays in the engine bay BBK is $189.99 and the filter goes into the fender
