  1. http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/news/121104_local_videogame.html Although I'm pretty annoyed that kids young enough to need babysitters were playing this game , it's funny that the robbers got scared off from a sound bite in the game. Definately one for Leno's 'stupid criminals' on his 'headlines' bit. --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

    Maybe he needed the money because he bid on this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5537280095 or this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5538129783 --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  5. I have the first two, Doom 3 and GTA: SA. I got them close in time to each other and haven't played much of D3. A little though. I've played a lot of the GTA: SA (and the previous two). I'd have to say that GTA is more adult than D3. If D3 is like what I've seen so far and like the previous versions, then it's just running around on Mars shooting aliens. It's definately violent, but not sexual. GTA, on the other hand, has a lot of sexual inuendo and just flat out sex for that matter. You don't see the "good" stuff but you see the car rock when you're with a hooker and you hear sex noises when with your girlfriend. And, there's the violence. Plus, the gratuitious use of F-bombs and the N-word. D3 has a lot of violence, but overall it's not as bad as GTA. I think if more parents actually realized what you could do in GTA, less kids would be playing it. Personally, I think kids should not be playing M-rated games. Adults should be allowed to play whatever they want. --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  6. You said it. When I saw that list, my first reaction was: "Cool, a list of good games to buy"
  7. Yeah, I'd have to say that she's more than 20% at fault. Maybe the other way around (she's 80% and McDonalds is 20%). She spilled the coffee on herself. She has to take blame for that. But, I do think their coffee is served way too hot. I know I've burned my tongue more than once. It's like you said; you have to wait before you can drink it. --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  8. Now, to actually make an on-topic post: I agree to the extent that some kids are really that screwed up in the head and no amount of parenting will help. Not all kids are like that though. Most, if not all, kids are impressionable. The more you expose kids, and the younger the kid, to violent video games, movies, etc..., then the more of a negative impact there is. Keeping M-rated video games from children is just a part of the bigger picture of raising your kids right. But this is all just the opinion of someone who doesn't have kids. But I do have a neice, 14, and a nephew, 11. --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  9. There are a few in the desert. One is when you cross Sherman Dam to the east. The road bends left to the north. Directly in front of you is a tall rock that can be jumped (gotta get there by hovering aircraft). Also, there's a rock arch structure near Area 69 (to the west). But I'm not sure if that should be an E or an S. And I think there's a spot where you can jump Mt. Chiliad. --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  10. Here is some info on the case: http://www.stellaawards.com/stella.html --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n. A modern sport that involves parties, bragging, sexual excesses, the imbibing of large quantities of beer, and, on rare occasions, parachuting from aircraft.
  11. Cool picture! And I found the McDonalds sign. I also know what time the picture was taken.
  12. Get well soon dude! --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n. A modern sport that involves parties, bragging, sexual excesses, the imbibing of large quantities of beer, and, on rare occasions, parachuting from aircraft.
  13. Yes, at the DZ once. Some folks there said the last time it happened, the cops were called and they came out to help. So I called the cops. A guy came with some tools. He had this thing that was a flat piece of metal with kind of a hook shape at the end and a wood handle. I think there's a name for it, but I forget it now. I went to work on the driver's side and the cop on the passenger's side. Without ever having done anything like this before it took me maybe a minute to unlock the door. Made me realize just how worthless it is to lock your car. I mean I always realized that if a thief really wanted it, they could take it but this was ridiculously simple. I didn't think it would be that easy for a newbie. --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  14. Specifically, it's in Missionary Hill which is in southern San Fierro. In southern SF there's a golf course (Avispa Country Club). It's south of there up the hill. Or, find Mount Chiliad. Separating Mt. Chiliad and San Fiero is a river. Just north of that is Missionary Hill where the antenna is (on top of the hill). HTH Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  15. Try using a helicopter. There's a sea sparrow (I think that's what it's called) north of the abandoned air strip. Look for the yellow spot in the in-game map. Be careful though, the heli fits but will take on damage if the blades hit the antenna. Also, there's a certain something that you get after a certain mission that may also help. That's how I ultimately got there, but it turned out to be somewhat of a pain in the ass. My first attempt at using the helicopter resulted in not quite getting out on beam and I fell. Unfortunately, I hit one of the beams below and died before I could open the parachute. That's when I decided to use the other thing. --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  16. Nancy's such a wonderful person who's always willing to help. She's helped me with issues with my rig (hooking up canopies and such) and taught me how to PRO pack. I'm going to miss her terribly. I don't have any updated conditions on the others. I'm blown away by this. I'm so sad. --Art

  19. I was watching the race with my dad. We're both Hendrick's fans. Both our hearts dropped at the end of the race when they made the announcement. I'm very curious to know exactly what happened. --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  23. 1) What made you start jumping / how you became interested? I got interested by seeing it on TV/movies. There wasn't any one in particular, though. It looked like alot of fun plus it was pretty bad ass. I had talked about it a few times, but never knew really where to go or look to make a jump. Found out my cousin was interested too. One year, there was an air show where skydivers jumped in. I didn't see them, but I did hear over the PA that they were coming back the next week to do tandems. So my cousin and I did tandems. I loved it so much I knew immediately that this was something that I wanted to do. 2) How long have you been jumping? How many jumps do you have? 5 years. 288 jumps. 3) What method of training did you do? Static-line progression. 4) How has skydiving changed you life? Met awesome people that I never would have met before. Gone places, done things, been in situations (good and bad) that I never would have done before. Gave me more self confidence kind of like "If I can skydive, I can do anything." type of thing. --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.
