Got a new camera Panasonic FZ72, along with a Raynox Macro lens. I spent the day annoying insects in the garden.

One of the many spiders that lives near the pond.

The game doesn't lock the cursor to the screen. Does anyone know a quickfix (without disabling the 2nd monitor)?  Because everytime I try to dispatch a unit, I minimize the game.

This is now a duck and squirrel thread.

I have listened to this 2101 times on my iPod.

And 'What a wonderful world' by Louis Armstrong 2037 times.

This week at work, I'm humming 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' by Deep Blue Something, and 'Gaudete' by Steeleye Span.

Compared to what was shown before release, it's a bit disappointing. Previous footage showed Aiden buying guns at a weapon store, and the t.v shows a news broadcast, portraying Aiden as a dangerous person. The store owner then reaches for a weapon/silent alarm (can't remember which.) - But none of that happens. The T.V just play adverts all the time. Maybe I'm not evil enough, but I thought the media outlets would've backed Blume and CtOS.

Also the characters are weak. "Here's a main baddy! Now he's dead. Here's another one! Now he's dead." The only character I like is Jordi, and he's hardly in the game.

Still, not many games let you mess with traffic lights 

You can use the Unity assets explorer found here to extract the contents of the .assets files. Instructions on using the program are on the 5th post. Shared assets 2 contains the emergency vehicles and sirens. The program also converts the ,tex files into .dds files.

However, I can't get the modified textures to go back into the game. I go to where the assets are extracted, replace the original DDS with the modified one, then select the .TEX file from the explorer and select "Import This file from DDS", which it accepts. Then I overwrite the original asset, but nothing changes.

I had a dream that I was being chased through an old mansion by evil ghosts/demon things. Eventually I got out of the mansion and made it home, The phone was ringing, so I answered it and it was my dad. I asked him where he was and he said the mansion. I told him to get out because of the ghosts/demons, and told him how to get out.

He thanked me and said "Oh, and I'm so so sorry".

I asked him why he was sorry, and he responded "It will get you".

Then suddenly this white, hazy, human/demon thing appeared, screeching. It grabbed me and I woke up. That's the first time a dream has woken me in a long time.

This is the tidiest my desk will ever get:

Is this suppose to be the police arriving at a domestic in a timely manner? lolk

Wasent there a scandal about them not using stop and search appropriately?

Don't know if it counts as a scandal (because it was mainly comments on new articles), but former Fife chief constable Norma Graham was involved in a vehicle collision and had her trial moved back to after her retirement. Some say it was so it wouldn't affect her pension - but I don't remember much about the story or if what was said held any value.

I got a new Olympus Camera - The SZ-31MR. Got it in Amazon's black Friday event last year. So the cheap price made up for the small step up.

I like squirrels

Are the white Grampian fire engines still white? Or did Scottish fire repaint them?

Also do any UK airports use yellow fire engines? I though Gatwick did, but they're red. So maybe they changed them? Or were they always red?

You lot need to get cs:s, then we need to troll a gmod rp server.

I used to do that with a friend. We used to stand on top of apartment buildings and drop barrels on people. Because the barrel had been in the air for so long, it counted as environment kills, so we never got in trouble

I've seen little that interests me, and it's cheaper to buy boxed copies of the ones I want.

I'm going to buy some for gifts, make 2014 easy.

"Rescue - Everyday Heroes (US Version)" just came out yesterday ($17 on Steam right now). Has anyone played around with it or the previously released versions?

I have the UK version and I don't really enjoy it. Civilians don't "exsist" (They ghost through your vehicles and walk within an inch of a fire and shrug it off),  and ambulances sometimes don't leave the map, which can make you fail/restart a mission. The UK sirens are awful too.

Also the A.I is REALLY stupid. One time, I had two firefighters tackling a fire, one from each side. Every time the firefighter on the right extinguished a fire, he would run past all the fires and join his colleague on the left.

Another time, a paramedic retrieved the stretcher out the back of the ambulance. The path to his right was blocked by a hydrant, but he insisted on going that way anyway. When he couldn't get through, he gave up.

It can be a pretty game at times though.

For £5.49, I might get it.

Any good? Yay or Nay?

Don't go to Gamesplanet.com. I bought FD3 from there, and they scammed me out of the £10 for it, and I never got the game.

I've bought five games through Gamesplanet.com and never had a problem. Contact their Support and get the issue resolved.

edit: Contacting support is easier said than done, but try support@metaboli.co.uk or I suppose support@gamesplanet.co.uk might work.

What camera(s) do people own? I've got a Olympus Stylus(/mju) 9000, my first camera . It's pretty good. I need to take it with me more often.

I keep trying to justify buying a better camera. My local Asda has the Olympus sp-820UZ and the Fujifilm FinePix S4800 on sale for just over £100 (maybe), and with my discount card, it'll be even cheaper. But I don't use my current camera enough as it is...

This is probably my best photo:

And some of my others from DA:

Edit:

Oh god don't click on the actual picture - waaaay too big.

So our region had a By-Election today after the MSP resigned. A lot of people say politicians are all the same, but good god! It was like every candidate went to the same print shop and the staff just copy and pasted the party names.

"Dunfermline deserves better"

-Promise to keep the Forth Road Bridge toll free

-Supporting local schools

-Supporting public transport, blah blah blah

Creativity and local issues are not important. 

Naw, I'm just an allround modder. Doing bits and pieces here and there. Nothing special really.

Pretty special for a cat.

I remember seeing the unmarked sitting there, but never thought about taking it. Ah well, someone on another forum said they found an unmarked in the same place I found my van, between 01:00 and 04:00, so I'll just keep creepin'

I love my van 

I know he gets a garage after moving to L.S but I dont know if any propertiez give you garages.

Just went back there and spent the night there but no van. Left at 05:00 and drove back at 05:20 came back to find a motorbike cop leaving. If this area spawns random police vehicles, might finally get an unmarked

.

Hunter-Are you on xbox or PS3?

Just found a police van without having 3 star

Just south-west of the police impound (not the towing impound) there's a U-shape under the freeway. I found the van parked there at 03:30, I don't know if it appears at other times.

Edit: Aw, wth? Trevor can't store it in his garage

Try the military base or the docks, If there's a base it won't be in the city. Maybe scout the desert in an aircraft.

Tow truck trains are still possible, woo

@Hunter- You can also get a tow truck, hook it up and tow it off to a back alley as well! I did this with the Taurus looking car. Also, if you want the FIB suv and/or dodge charger. Use the images to help, if you dont know the area. It takes some time for them to spawn so dont get discouraged. Both of them can be stored in any garage.

Lol, really? I've gotta try this. Last time I hit a stationary police vehicle, just a minor bump - turned into a 3 star chase.

Do emergency vehicles stay in the garage? Last one I had disappeared, but so did all the mods on other cars

Also, if you go up behind the VINEWOOD sign. The park ranger suv is parked at the little electrical complex with no one guarding it.

The police bikes are nice! I now have one in my garage.

I wasn't aware of the park ranger, cheers Where can you find police bikes? I've only seen them in missions and random chases. Same with unmarked cruisers.

If you want free body armour, the big police station where they impound your cars has some in the waiting room.

Highest level I've had is 3 star, so I've only seen the police vans.

Edit: when you say the back of the station, do you mean by the automated gate? Or is there another area? I tried taking a cruiser by the gate earlier, but the officer saw me.
