WOW, what an xmas i have had!

Xmas eve; After finishing wrapping and the last minute stuff i decided to relax and have a browse… i saw GTA IV for sale at 75% off. (like 12 bucks aus) so i jumped on and treated myself to a Xmas Gift.
15 gigs… its gunna be a while

my mistake

Xmas day; So i got some windows updates and stuff on Xmas night, and after leaving the computer on DLing a heap for the previous few days decided to turn it all off and give the machine, modem etc a rest for Xmas. (GTA

again My Mistake

I turn the machine back on…. no interwebs….. WTF?
i checked the phone… no dial tone…. WTF?

The misses rang Telstra and it turned out that half my suburb was down

“oh its a major issue.. dont know when it will be fixed, but someone is working on it” – Now given the public holidays, i doubt it WAS an issue more that they didnt wanna pay a tech to come out and reset whatever dealie it was!

now finally the interwebs have come back on at 11am (funny how it happened on the 1st NON public holiday after xmas) and GTA IV finished Downloading

turn it on… and what do I see? after a heap of “setting up 3 clients for monitoring my online status” WTF? i see this:

What a week… anyone know how to fix that GTA issue? i need to de-stress

Merry Xmas everyone

Was very tempted by that $7 GTA4 deal. Probably should have got it, but didn’t. Ended up getting a proper copy of NBA 2K10 (and yes still downloading, and no its not metered on nodes steam cache, dammit).

Not sure whats going on with GTA4 unfortunately…

Merry Christmas too.

I’m sure you had a great Christmas despite the shitty internet.

I’m glad I’m not in Aussie… If I was I sure wouldn’t use telstra! (See what I did back there? telstra deserves a capital letter as much as microsoft does.)

You have most likely tried restarts and the like. Was that how it was when you first booted it? Try changing some of the graphics settings etc…
