Is the OP talking about getting on a server that plays music to everybody on the server? The music can be turned off (on some of them) by typing "stop" on the chat line, without the quotes. Otherwise, hitting escape, then clicking player list, will give him the opportunity to mute the offending player. If it's something else, then I haven't run across it yet.

Although I may well begin to warm to the frog once I've had a few days of the "Gangster Chimps"
"Jamster! this week have introduced Prime8, a new mobile rap group. Deacon and Dash (the Chav Chimps / Gangsta Chimps), the two main components of the collective, will debut their "funky hip hop" number "Monkey Pants" next week in the UK and hope to emulate the success of their musical mentor, "The Crazy Frog", and quickly make the transition from mobile to mainstream."
(details from Jamster's house of evil^h^h^h website).

> What *are* you playing nowadays? San Andreas, San Andreas and San Andreas. I'm thoroughly enjoying that at the moment it's a vast improvement over GTAIII and VC although I think the A.I is worse. There are many great new additions mind, not least the taking of hoods and the missions in general far more fun to play apart from the odd annoying exception.

SA is on my want list - really enjoyed VC. Plowing mindlessly through Painkiller at the mo (out of boredom more than anything else) but expecting Vampire Masquerades 2: Bloodlines in the post tomorrow. £5.99 (inc delivery) from Play.com. I'm a cheap bath-tub I know but daughters recent 18th birthday has left me gaming on a shoestring...

Hey Stri... maybe you can do me some hints on GTA:SA. I'm trying to get some cashola together and beating civilians is only nickel and dime stuff. Is there more money in the B&E's? Where's the truck to do home invasions? Wnat more money for some house purchases.

"The Buffalo Theory"
A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kill brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine! That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

My only other alternative was to play in the AGHL group but their style of play differs from mine and they liked to voice that on a regular basis.

Should have taken it up with us first, though. There's a forum, and all.....

Now amount of discussion could change that I was geared to play the game in an entirely different way.

Keep in mind, though, that not everyone enjoys lots of noise while playing. I did enjoy one guy playing "Eye of the Tiger" as we ran from spawn to the usually choke points in the map, but then he was sensible enough to turn it off so we could hear the action.
It's fun in moderation.

[quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > It's fun in moderation. Ah well, meester Peeg$$ has blown the gaff, so I might as well explain how I would do it... my souncard is a pro-audio one, so it doesn't have a mic preamp built in - just line level inputs. So I have to use an external mic-preamp - which I have built into my mixer. Which also has my CD player connected to it. So... if I wanted to play music in game, I could play the CD, turn it up on the mixer (along with my mic) and hit the talk key.
As for the guys saying how annoying it is - well, just mute the buggers. I do that all the time on DoD when the French kids start blabbing away - now WHY do they do that when the server clearly states it's UK? I know the servers are open to all, but I wouldn't go to a French server and then start yammering away in cockney. Actually, I might... ;o)
Nick - 29 Jun 2005 09:46 GMT > hi people, > wilst online enjoying counterstrike,natural selection etc. > some players,can play music over there voice coms,how > do they do it? Probably just the way they have things wired externally - I could do it with my setup. I'll give you a clue - my soundcard doesn't have a mic socket - just line-ins.
