I mainly played coop, which was fun, and I'd imagine it'd also be possible to do an invite-only session as with GTA.

Ooh, nice! Even if it did show me driving really badly at the beginning. Guess you can't help that, though.
How long does it take you to put together one of these videos?
Around 1-2 hours.
I also captured the last race we did where you and I were neck and neck at the end, but this one had overall more cool moments.
Don yer finest leather vests, gentlemen.
Just in time for the Saturday session, eh? I hope they add some new missions too.
Got a good chuckle from this:
And they got the actual Trevor! O_o
I'm a bit ticked off by both the "Finance and Felony" and the "Bikers" DLC offering most of their new gameplay for open play only. Perhaps it's changed in the meantime, but a year ago any open sessions were rife with cheating and hacking. Not the kind of environment I want to spend any time in, even if there's new gameplay to be had.
So we all know Samsung Galaxy 7s are on their way to being classified as "destructive devices" by BATFE, right? Someone made a mod where you can use smartphones as God always intended:
Samsung found it so funny they laughed their jovial asses all the way to the DMCA office.
Anyone interested in GTA V because of ALL THE AMAZING FUN THE TTLG CREW IS HAVING ON A BIWEEKLY BASIS!!!!!1!1 should check out Steam, as it seems to be 40% off, at least in Europe. Or at least in Switzerland, which would probably limit the potential TTLG audience a fair bit. It's still not exactly cheap, mind you, but it's fun.
*cue video of henke repeatedly running over Thirith*
I has GTA V and am currently downloading it.
Behold the well-oiled criminal enterprise that is the TTLG Crew.
Classic TTLG. Not our finest hour, but definitely fun. You know you're playing with quality folk if you're having a good time even when you're falling straight onto your face from a low-flying helicopter.
Oooo, they added light-cycle battles to adversary mode today in the Deadline update:
Nice! I hadn't even heard of this one...
For their latest documentary Noclip did something different from their regular developer-interviews. They interviewed a crew of GTA Online players. It's a look at how communities and friendships are formed through online gaming communities. It's a good one.
I have been wanting to try this for a while now, but it seems like one of those games that can really suck you in, so I probably won't play it until much later this year (after hopefully having reached one of the larger milestones in the project I'm working on). Another thing is that I don't have enough space on my SSD, so I would have to install on HDD, but I'm not sure how much of a problem that would be (from what I've read it's still playable, but better on SSD)!? This isn't the type of game I normally play these days either, so it would probably take some time to "break me in" and finish a mission, meaning I might have to restart it next time or play for longer each time than I intend.
The reason I'm asking about this now, is because it's 50 percent off on Steam right now, so I'm thinking of getting it even if I'm not going to play it until much later. What I will probably do is wait until I get a better machine (whenever that will be), and hopefully it will go on sale again.
I'm playing it on an old-fashioned spinning plate-y drive. It's fine, you don't need an SSD for it - definitely no stutters or what have you. It does drop below 60 FPS in a few places, but those aren't massive drops, and it's more to do with the GPU load.
...and SSDs don't really improve load speeds noticeably in GTAV. It takes AGES to load no matter what storage medium it's on.
Okay, then I won't have to worry about that at least. My old GPU might be a problem, but, as far as I can tell, the whole system lies somewhere between the minimum and the recommended specs ...and with some more research, it should be fine on lower/lowest settings. That only leaves time as an issue. The standard price of 60 euro is a bit high -- maybe not for the game(?), but for me, so I'm only going to get it when it's on sale. The current price of 30 is fine.
FYI with the last Windows update my laptop's graphics card got some kind of tweak and now my laptop is running GTAV almost decently. I might try an online venture with y'alls sometime to see if it holds up. (Have to re-check ArmA3 too, although I'm not as optimistic.)
Unless my memory's repressing the true horrors, GTA V's main loading times happen up front and when you're playing GTA Online. Once you're in the game, it's not too bad, SSD or HDD.
(@demagogue: It'd be great to have you join the Arma 3 sessions; there are a lot of settings to fiddle with, which might help. What kind of processor and GPU do you have?)
Specs are Intel i7-7500U & graphics are just Intel HD Graphics 620 card.
A game like Prey will at least open but it's a slide show on the lowest setting & some objects will appear as boxes, but like I said I was surprised that GTAV runs respectfully with just a few noticeable drags every so often.
Man, why did no one tell me that the Import/Export DLC that came out 2 years ago was all about delivering cargo? You guys know I love delivering cargo!
Anyway, at long last, HenkeCo is in business!
And I'm not forgetting about my buddies. Next time we play this, you're all hired! I need all the crate-haulers I can get my hands on if HenkeCo is to maximise it's synergy and achieve profitable growth in the global marketplace in this quarterly sector.
Translation: henke needs slaves to fund his truck addiction. I'm sold.
