Week 10 - Ten Again

I've been getting a job. Had an initial meeting this week and will have the official paper-signing event (unless someone suddenly objects... hope not) and interview on Tuesday. Spent Saturday with a buddy, bought an incredibly thick dart board, he bought a golf club (free mini-golf woo), I've watched a few movies, tried getting back into GTA SA a little and finished the week with some hardcore levels of study efficiency.

As for SA, I was pretty much at the end of it when I stopped playing last time, so on a whim I finished that final mission now (on the first try - not for the first time I play out the game - this game's like a profession) aaaand it crashed during the credits. Didn't save. Shit.

As it turns out, running Lod Mod, SRT3 and ENB Series (which all three combined do an awesome job at enhancing the game) bodes for crashes. It's not that my computer can't handle them, I could probably run dual instances of the game on highest settings with no lag, but the game engine has certain restrictions on resource usage that the mods have to circumvent to work properly. They use stuff like Sacky's Frame Limiter or SALA (San Andreas Limit Adjuster) and a couple of other CLEO mods. Problem is, these mods are not perfect, they seem to crash at random intervals, when entering a piza parlor or watching the credits... and I have no idea what to do about it.

I could run the game without mods but I already did that, ten years ago - I want teh modified version now! I want to take it to the next level!! I want more!!! Or maybe, maybe just wait out GTA 5. I hear it's coming out for PC in June but by now I don't trust Rockstar's release dates at all.

I wrote the second chapter of the novel I'm writing yesterday, and the day before that, and I've been polishing the manuscripts during late hours on long nights. I fell after with diary-writing and filled in five days yesterday, I have some game work I should be doing now but I thought I'd get this posted first. I've written some inspired poetry lately, I feel good, I think I'm a little allergic to alfalfa, I was going to title this post Ten Ting but was made aware that means something entirely different than what I thought it did, and that's all for this week.

Oh yeah, we had Fat Tuesday too, also on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Today and I'm going to post a few leftover reviews after this. have a great Monday!

Here's last week.
