I'm totally down, hopefully we can get more than 4 people for Cannonball run.

[klb5090]

i'll be on later (9/10pm till late) if i'm playing bioshock (finally getting around to playing it, i've had it since it came out) send me an invite if any of you jerks get on.

[sek929]

Jeez took you long enough to play BioShock, jerk!

[Dakar the Fourth]

Jerk!

[Dakar the Fourth]

Now this feels like the Halo 3 thread.

[sek929]

Hopefully MAIRONMAN weighs in on his involvement in tonight's festivities.

Any chance we could try and beat those three scenarios under the suggested time?

[Dakar the Fourth]

No, because you have to do them with randoms.

[sek929]

Well isn't that an onion in the ointment....

[Dakar the Fourth]

You are full of weird phrases today.

i have no idea what that means...
personally IF i'm using any ointments i hope its nothing serious enough that there has to be onion in it

[jokell82]

I'll be on tonight tackling single player - but shoot a request if you guys get a game going.

[klb5090]

saw it, figured i'd post it and its got a little halo nostalgic to it (its from red vs blue)

[sek929]

[::maroma::]

Sorry dudes, I won't be able to play tonight. Gotta spend time with the little lady. Its the price I pay for not having her around during the week.

Although, if she decides to go out with friends or something tonight I'll log on and see if you guys are on. But don't count on me being there.

And that comic is funny!

[sek929]

I wish you could smack the pigeons with a baseball bat, or stab them with the knife.

[Dakar the Fourth]

That makes too much sense and would make finding them less annoying.

Edit: Is kb trying to break the record for most live log ons in an hour?

[::maroma::]

Hah, yeah it would be great if they had a special animation just for killing pigeons with the bat. He could wind up like a T-Ball player, taking a few slow practice swings to line up the shot, then BAM! the pigeon goes flying (against its will of course).

[Dakar the Fourth]

Also, the Eddie Low character is really disturbing. I have no idea what they were going for with him, but boy, I was glad when his segment was over.

[::maroma::]

Oh man, that had to be the creepiest part of this whole game.

I can't recall if I have done one or two missions for that guy. I hope I get to take him out at some point.

EDIT: I just looked it up and I still have one more mission with him. I'm bringing my bat...(and my knife)

[Dakar the Fourth]

Highlight of the night for me so far: Driving the bus through the length of Middle Park Lake.

[sek929]

As I sit up to my neck in water a few rows back.

[Dakar the Fourth]

Not ideal for dealing with copters, but a fun ride. I have no idea how any of us survived as long as we did in the lake.

[sek929]

My favorite moment was near the bowling alley in dukes. I RPGed you as you sped towards me in a Turismo and I took the front bumper right in the face.

I re-spawn seconds later to see you still sitting in the burnt out hulk.

[Dakar the Fourth]

I was trying to see if I cold get it to honk.

BTW, I jacked one of the pieces o **** cars yesterday (like the ones you use for LJs missions) and the damn thing actually had an alarm that went off. Hilarious if you know what the horn sounds like on those things.

[sek929]

So everyone avoided Fatty like the plague last night...must be the fatness....

[Stogieman]

Not that anyone cares but I'll be on later tonight... playing Halo

[klb5090]

apologies mr fatty, its not because of your weight but i had some people over and they were checking out bioshock (update: bioshock = amazing, i can't remember the last time i played a game where each battle with a foe was this intense not to mention the sound/lighting effects)

[Chongo]

What is the highest number of wanted status stars has anyone had? I stumbled across and instant full wanted status.

6. Pretty easy to get early in the game by just going where you're not supposed to.

I tried crossing a bridge that was manned by police. I sped across on a bike, then jumped into a swat van. I drove until it exploded (over 10 minutes . Another time I managed to jack an armored truck, but got stuck on the other side. The cops kept shooting until I inadvertently pressed the triangle and was whacked when I left the truck. I don't know how long that would have gone on because the could not shoot me while I was in the truck. It was fun while it lasted.

Agreed, it's one hell of a game. The atmosphere it creates is second to none.

as i jack yet another dakar thread take it off topic
I finished the game today and it is now on my top 5 list of single player experiences on any console

[analogue SPRINKLES]

So I took a chopper and flew as high as I could and smashed into a tour copter to try to kill it but instead my blades came off so I started to fall towards the earth. About half way down I jumped out of the chopper and by luck landed in water waaaaaaay off the coast from the airport and survived fine. It took me 4 minutes to swim back to shore though!

I also tried it a few more times and it seems that no matter how high you are as long as you land in water you'll live with no damage.

[Peter]

can you pull the trailers with trucks "big rigs"? Like in GTA2?

I haven't seen trucks connected to any trailers but I don't know if you can do it manually.

It was also strange that I never saw a Bus moving on the road but only saw empty ones on the side of the road. Never tried to drive one either.

There was a truck parked in front of a tanker and I tried hooking it up a couple of times before the cops showed up and I had to evade them. This was in my "sand box" game I have set up to screw around in. My real game I am only about 15-20% done in. The wife gives me that look if I play too long.
I know most of you are well past this, but just in case! (about my sand box game adventures)

 

In my sand box game I picked up Little Jacob and drove a couple of blocks, got out and stab him a bunch of times. I tried to shoot him with the pistol, but he ducks if you are too close, as does Roman. I did manage to hit him with a few rounds from the shotgun though. You can't kill him no matter how many times I stabbed him or shot him with the shotgun. I took Michelle to the strip club, no V there. I'll take there again and see what happens when I get a private dance.

[jokell82]

I've jacked a truck with a trailer attached, but never tried to hook a truck to a trailer.

[Chongo]

I tried today, but no success

[Peter]

weak.

[Chezidek]

You can't hook one on yourself, but you can steal one. It's a shame really, you could do it in San Andreas. Some fun I've had lately has been driving whatever large heavy vehicle I can find the wrong way down the road and hitting things head-on. It amazes me how different the crashes mangle the cars each time, the effects on the game just blow me away.

[Dakar the Fourth]

It is done. I have beaten the game. Just over 80 hours of gameplay.

Not true. Apparently it appears once you've used a cheat.

Jack an armored truck. I am only 20% into the game so there are still areas that are off limits. I drove passed a police blockade and drove into oncoming traffic. The SWAT vans and LCPD cars were flying everywhere, good times. (over 10 minutes)

[Chongo]

anyone know if Patrice O'Neal (O&A) does a voice on one of the radio station. It sure sound like him.

[Dakar the Fourth]

Not from the credits I've seen.

[Chongo]

It was only a matter of time.
GTA publisher sends out a crate of Pißwasser

[::maroma::]

I noticed in the credits that Iggy Pop is the DJ for Radio Broker. I also saw Juliette Lewis' name as a DJ. I wonder if its the Juliette Lewis?

BTW - Finished the story this weekend. Pretty cool! I am at about 90% now. Just need the pigeons, jumps, and a couple other minor things to get to 100%.

Then I go back and redo the story in under 30 hours! Woop!

[Dakar the Fourth]

Yes, disregarding the comics, the only celebrities in the game seem to be the Radio DJs. All of them.

[::maroma::]

Yeah, speaking of comics, I found Ricky Gervais to be pretty boring. Kat Williams was much funnier, IMO.
