Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Announced

I am gradually getting to the stage where all the missions open to me are ones I'm stuck on, though. I keep messing up 'Wrong Side Of The Tracks', and I haven't even tried the Cesar race mission because I'm crap at driving and all the horror stories I've heard about it so far have put me off. I may do some burglary.

Also, people tell me that if you see a guy in a check shirt and chains standing still with his hands clasped, he is a drug dealer and should be killed because he will have a gun and lots of money.

YES. And it's not even like I'm bad at rhythm action games, I'm a bloody expert, I've played them all, right down to britney's dance beat. This just felt like the most unforgiving one I've ever played though. Eventually I came up with a crazy theory - it judges when you release the buttons, not when you hit them. So hitting them dead on time won't necessarily work if you hold them down for too long, you've got to make sure really quickly tap them too.

I know this sounds insane, and might just be nonsense, but...well.

Cesar's lowrider race wasn't that hard -- the pseudo-Impala car (the Blade?) has awful shitty handling but if you can get a Voodoo (late '50s lead-sled with tailfins & hydraulics) that seems to handle much better.

Trust me, there are far, far worse missions. The novelty of hearing David Cross in a GTA game wears off quickly once you find out what you have to do for his sorry ass.

The key to winning races is to get ahead, then drive conservatively. I usually hate these, but I don't find that they're as annoying here (although the lowrider race gave me fits - at least it's short).

I'm just about finished with the Syndicate missions in San Fierro - finished Woozie, but I hope to god that I don't have to complete the David Cross missions to move on.

Dan: the eating isn't that big an imposition. You can go two game days without eating before you start losing energy, and if you're doing missions then you'll probably need the energy boost anyway. The weight training isn't that bad either, do like 25 reps on the bench press and you hit your limit for the day.

can't work that blooming forklift in the national guard robbery either.

I did the sound system one second try though, by some way too and I'm, rubbish at that sort of thing.

The forklift truck one was hard - I think every now and then you need to get off the truck to help out ryder shoot down the oncoming guards.

i'm going to try and new way of stealing police cars tonight (by towing it back to my garage - the police don't arrest you for forklifting their cars! so maybe not towing either!)

i think as usual with these things, finishing him off as soon as poss is the way forward. the good thing about the mission is it gives you a semi(automatic) even if you fail it, which is handy...

even my low-rider is green! i am in love with the lowrider hopping game.

Huge Session tonight i think.

DUALITY is the best arcade game i've found so far, it's completely incomprehensible, just as arcade games were in the early 90s...

Can you shave all your hair off? This is the only hair style i approve of.

Anyone know what the red mark on the map is that's called the "Player Target"?

does anyone know where the flying school is? I looked around the airport but nothing so far

I got out the far end of the tunnel in just business, and then exploded, grrrrrrr

the player target works by finding what you need on the map (I use it to find a pay n spray) clicking on it and instead of the easy to miss icon on yr radar, there's a 'kin huge red dot to aim for

pimping missions are ace, and a money spinner too.

and you should see what he's done to your old car!!

it now BOUNCES!

i saw a truck with ladders on the back this morning and thought, "JUMP!!"
