i'm stuck in a dilemma.... today i notice on the Rockstar Social Club that the 100% club has been extended to may 19th. This means i could use some guides online and probably finish up to 100% before the end date and receive a "key to the city" although i don't know what this is, i kinda want one or i can continue on my no guided way and finish in a few weeks... decisions decisions

I'd just do the guides. The pigeons aren't worth the effort (though I plan on seeing is I can get past 50 or even 75 on my own).

I'm also curious what the section of the site unlocks.

Do the guides. Get the key.

(I think they actually send you a physical key)

klb5090 · May 14, 2008, 01:02 PM

hmmm... i figure i've got this far 92% on my own...i'm undecided

Minor Spoilers about Bernie...

Does anyone else find this character to over the top and offensive? I mean, you can make someone gay without making them such a stereotype. Was it really necessary? Is it supposed to be funny? Because it really isn't. I'm all for poking fun at anyone and everyone, but he really wasn't clever, interesting, funny or anything. Just distractingly offensive.

Dakar the Fourth · May 14, 2008, 01:09 PM

Wait, what?

First, I don't think he's gay, he's just the typical overcompensating alpha male stereotype. Second, I find he's hilarious. The guy is a complete idiot, but he's so enthusiastic about everything I find it makes up for it.

Anything come to my mind you can repeat here as an example?

CRAP! I meant to type Bernie not Brucie. I screwed that up.

Dakar the Fourth · May 14, 2008, 01:17 PM

Ah, ok. Don't think I've hit him yet.

ort888 · May 14, 2008, 01:21 PM

Oh, and just for the record... Brucie is also totally gay.

Dakar the Fourth · May 14, 2008, 01:22 PM

Nah, he's just compensating for those raisins he calls nuts.

Meh not really. I mean the offend every other minority in the game so why stop at gays? Not to mention your mission is a bit nobel as it is one of the few characters Niko is nice to AND the mission with bernie is to get back at a homophobe bothering Bernie.

It was also the funniest part of the game for me watching Bernie jog. That run was hilarious.

Bernie is turning into one of my favorite characters thus far. He's funny, and he runs funny. It also makes me feel all macho and stuff to protect him.

Also, does anyone know if there is a certain way stunt jumps need to be completed? Is it distance, or where you land, or combination of the two? Last night I tried to complete 2 stunt jumps I found and after about 10 tries I gave up. It just wouldn't give them to me. Any ideas?

I think it is just distance. Get a fast car and go as fast as you can.

You have to go shorter on a few. Alot of times the goal is the next roadway.

And you have to actually land it, too.
