Yeah, Carmen's favorite place to go is the strip club. She also likes fast food. I take her to more fast food though, since its faster.

Well I'm almost done with the game. I'm at the point where I have to make the "big" choice. Just saved so I'll try 'em both. I'll probably beat the first ending tonight.

All glory to the hypnotoad.

That's what I did, though I have yet to fully complete one of the branches, just because one of the things I have to do is lame.

For those that finish:
 


One thing I am curious about is how the future DLC will handle a player's storyline decision, if it acknowledges it at all.

I have a feeling the DLC will be small stuff - like new cars or weapons. Maybe a few new characters to add some missions. What I'd really love to see is a whole new island, but I doubt that will happen.

All glory to the hypnotoad.

As a friend stressed to me, they'll be doing Episodic Content. So unless they introduce a new character, has to include Niko where we left him, right?

Have they said they'll be doing episodic content? I was not aware of that.

From wiki:
During Microsoft's 2006 E3 press conference on 9 May 2006, it was announced that Rockstar Games will offer exclusive episodic content for the Xbox 360 version of the game, which will be released after the full game via Xbox Live.[67]

Peter Moore, the then head of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business division described downloadable content as "epic episode packs", and not just an extra car or character. A press release during the conference said that the packs would add "hours of entirely new gameplay" to the game.[68]

Details on the pricing of these downloads have not yet been revealed, though it would almost certainly not be released for free, as Take-Two Interactive's former CEO, Paul Eibeler, has said numerous times that these downloads would provide "additional revenue streams" to the company,[citation needed] but Microsoft has said that it will be up to Rockstar on whether or not they will charge for it.[69]

Jeronimo Barrera, Vice President of Product Development for Rockstar Games, has said that the episodes are an experiment because they are not sure that there are enough users with access to online content on the Xbox 360.[70]

Take-Two Interactive's Chief Financial Officer, Lainie Goldstein revealed that Microsoft was paying a total of US $50 million for the two episodes.[71] On 20 February 2008, it was announced that the extra content will be introduced starting August 2008.[72]

Downloadable content for the PlayStation 3 was said to be "likely" by vice president of development Jeronimo Barrera, in the May 2008 edition of PlayStation World.[36] The form that the content will take was not stated.

No prob. For some reason I was under the impression the PS3 DLC was more concrete.

I knew that it wasn't confirmed, which was one of the main reasons I bought it for the 360.

Well luckily I found the stunt jump I missed after the 4th one I retried. So now I'm done with stunt jumps yay!

Next up... dirty pigeons!

Yeah, I should bang out the remaining stunts I have left. I think they're all in Alderney.

I have found 1 pigeon, on the center island. Are the pigeons on the center and right island, or they on all three of the main islands?

There's 200 pigeons everywhere. I think I found 5 thanks to missions alone.

The one I found was on a vigilante mission.

I'm down to 150 pigeons left. I'm using a guide, since I really do not have the patience to find them all on my own. Even with a guide it takes forever.

Yeah, it's not worth finding on your own after you beat the game. I'm proud to have found over 60 myself -- which reminds me, I forgot ask if anyone noticed that the beginning of the end credits show you where two were?

Nice work finding 60 on your own!
