As of last night I'm officially dating someone. Nice.

― 57 7th (calstars), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 14:47 (nineteen years ago) link

Did you use the flowers?

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 14:53 (nineteen years ago) link

the date thing lasted all of two dates for me. i ain't got time for no bitches.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 14:55 (nineteen years ago) link

I love it when the date's going badly and all you can hear in the background is:

"FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TEL ME"

I'm not sure I like Denice

― Porkpie (porkpie), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 15:29 (nineteen years ago) link

Every time I take that ho out all she wants to do are drive bys. Fuckin hood rat.

― adam (adam), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 15:32 (nineteen years ago) link

you think she's special, don't you?

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 15:32 (nineteen years ago) link

apparently if you want to 100% complete you have to make all the dates go successful.

god damn i was looking forward to killing my girlfriend.

― Hari Ashurst (Toaster), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 15:34 (nineteen years ago) link

Is it possible to murder her? Besides driving from San Fierro all the way to Los Santos just to take the bitch out for a burger is too time consuming.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 15:34 (nineteen years ago) link

i don't think she ever dies... i took her to a gang war AND our car exploded, i was there thinking "DEEEEENISEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" but she was still alive.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 15:36 (nineteen years ago) link

Apparently you can use the dildo on the very last gf you get.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 15:37 (nineteen years ago) link

Euw, have you seen the size of it?!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 15:38 (nineteen years ago) link

yes, i've beaten people with it.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 15:41 (nineteen years ago) link

Last night I picked Denise up for a date, then seconds later the hood was under attack. So I got out and started shooting at people. She stood beside me. I killed a couple of people, then attempted to kiss her (was shut down), then handed her the dildo (which she accepted), killed more people, then went out for chicken.
I think I'll take her to a gang war next. Then pizza.

― Jonathan (Jonathan), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 15:45 (nineteen years ago) link

then ass fucking with the purple pussy eater.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 15:46 (nineteen years ago) link

be sure to go to Bincos for the Trucker Hat first!

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 15:47 (nineteen years ago) link

There's a little alleyway on your right (heading east). It's down there.

This direction made me think of that scene in GoodFellas where Jimmy Conway is telling Karen Hill to go ahead, go on, that pretty dress is around the corner there. It's okay....

The last thing I did last night was swim over to Flint County even though I haven't opened it up yet. I hijacked a cab and had the most intense car chase with my four stars. I got pretty far. At one point, I jumped off a bridge, and the cops were following me into the water in their police Suburbans trying to get me.

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 16:42 (nineteen years ago) link

where can I pick up an mp5 for free?

― Porkpie (porkpie), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 16:48 (nineteen years ago) link

I am so far behind you all.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 16:49 (nineteen years ago) link

after his week off work jimD has overtaken me so much now - he had his S&M sex five days before me. i've only just moved to San Fierro

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 16:54 (nineteen years ago) link

you can't be that far behind Ronan, I did two missions this morning flukily but I haven't been playoing much lately thanks to Footie manager

― Porkpie (porkpie), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 17:00 (nineteen years ago) link

im really far behind i haven't had much time for intense missioning.

― Hari Ashurst (Toaster), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 17:03 (nineteen years ago) link

im stuck on the "photo opportunity" mission. I get too nervous and start photographing everything but what i am supposed to shoot. then i get pissed and start sniping people from the rooftop. i like teh snipe.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 17:07 (nineteen years ago) link

There is also a cool way of making some extra money in Downtown. Off track betting. You can bet on horse races. Good times. I can;t wait to see what the "Vegas" section of the game looks like.

Just how are you all making money at this? The odds are six to one against you everytime since there's not place or show bets allowed. And the odds for the horses don't seem to matter one whit in their performance.

I lost $200 in Red County last night. I was kicking myself all the way on the long trip back to the Grove.

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 19:43 (nineteen years ago) link

"And the odds for the horses don't seem to matter one whit in their performance."

So you bet on no4 and 5 all the time, with their high odds. It helps if you're far enough in the game to be able to buy a save point in one of the villages near to it in case you lose too. Out of 6 races I've won 4 now, so I'm guessing the ones with higher odds are actually more likely to win. Or I have a glitchy game.

― lupine lupin (lupinelupin), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 21:41 (nineteen years ago) link

I need money to buy a house and a house to win money with! Grand Theft Möbius!

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 21:48 (nineteen years ago) link

Fire Engine missions. Take a car, drive it until it crashes into something and catches fire, preferably where there's other cars to catch fire (the road into the Los Santos airport can be awesome for this, drive it onto the wrong lane, and cars will pile up. I got a dozen-car pile up yesterday). Once enough stuff is ablaze, the fire engine will arrive. Then steal it, hit R3, and money will be yours.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 00:10 (nineteen years ago) link

things like ambulances etc. seem to self-right so much easier in this game - even when they're near horizontal if you steer into where it's tilted it almost always self rights it!

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 01:27 (nineteen years ago) link

i don't remember it being this easy in vice city

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 01:27 (nineteen years ago) link

i finally made it onto the third island. i am very happy about this.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 02:11 (nineteen years ago) link

i havent even don nuthin :/

― big chaki (chaki), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 03:10 (nineteen years ago) link

I seem to remember that ambulances were very easy to upright in VC.

Finally finished tonight... but I'm only at 50.24% completion. Argh. Or yay. Okay, yay.

― Joshua Houk (chascarrillo), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 03:36 (nineteen years ago) link

I cannot stop fighting turf wars. I didn't like doing them at first, but now ALL I want to do is roll four-deep into Ballas territory and lob grenades. At this rate, it'll take me months to get to San Fierro.

― Daniel Cohen (dayan), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 04:15 (nineteen years ago) link

same here. I finally pulled myself up last night with 50% of the turf under my control so I could do some actual missions!

― The Midnight ROFFLEr (haitch), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 04:24 (nineteen years ago) link

You might want to save the turf missions until after you've gone through the other two cities. Just speaking from pained experience here.

― MC Transmaniacon (natepatrin), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 05:03 (nineteen years ago) link

Haha I heard about that. On the other hand, I really like killing people. Is that so wrong? Is it?

I got to levels 7 and 11 on the Paramedic missions and fucked up both times, before switching from the east to the west hospital. Advantages: all the streets are level for miles around (leaving only "I'm bleeding in the middle of an Escher painting, can you come get me?" fun) and there's a police bribe 10 feet to the north. After that I found it pretty easy, but then I always found the Paramedic levels easy.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 11:26 (nineteen years ago) link

the vigilente missions are easier on bikes.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 11:31 (nineteen years ago) link

unless OMG CAN YOU TAKE GANGS WITH YOU ON VIGILENTE??? will they shoot the criminals?

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 11:32 (nineteen years ago) link

where might we find the dildo? will we be presented with it through our missions?

― stevie (stevie), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 11:37 (nineteen years ago) link

How do you get your gang to come with you? I can apparently run a three man gang, but when I press R1 they just say shit like "Get out of my face" Even when I target on somebody else their not having it!

I've only managed it once, I jacked a car with my homies in it, and drove the passenger into Ballas turf, he kicked some shit then ran away.

― Rumpy Pumpkin (rumpypumpkin), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 11:41 (nineteen years ago) link

the dildo is in the showers in Los Santos police department. You've got to earn respect to get a gang.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 11:44 (nineteen years ago) link

press R1 to target them, then you have to press the up arrow on the D-pad.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 11:47 (nineteen years ago) link

something i noticed last night in the police station (where i gave a little cheer as i found the dildo), as long as you only have a melee weapon in your hands (even if it is a three foot bright pink dildo) the cops won't come after you, but as soon as you get a gun out, it's two star minimum and a trip to the hospital...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 11:52 (nineteen years ago) link

if you kill all the cops in the changing room and stay there, you can pull out the gun and knock them down one by one as they foolishly walk in!!! (you can really pile up your stars!) and the helicopter can't get you! (eventually after about 150 cop corpses you'd get bored, though and fighting your way out might be difficult - although i've only tried it using nothing but a dildo to be fair)

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 11:56 (nineteen years ago) link

Yay! Much fun when I go home!

I played so much yesterday that when I went to Asda last night I kept getting urges to shoot into crowds of people. Good thing I don't have a gun...

― Rumpy Pumpkin (rumpypumpkin), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 12:02 (nineteen years ago) link

I swam over to Los Venturas last night, even though that area is still locked for me. I drove up and down the strip while the cops chased me, yelling "HA HA, I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE, I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE!!"

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 18:08 (nineteen years ago) link

Then I ramped my stolen patrol car off a parking deck into the Luxor.

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 18:09 (nineteen years ago) link

There is a fake Amoeba Records ("Blob Music") across the street from the donut shop. No word on whether you can trade in import Lovefist 12"s for cash.

― Daniel Cohen (dayan), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 23:56 (nineteen years ago) link

I think I'm getting close to the end of the main missions, I'm only on 57% though. Found out you can actually do freight train missions when all the islands are open.

and OMG THE TANK!! IS AWESOME in this version! I managed to make a daring night raid on Area69 (not the jet-pack mission) and made my way off with the beast.

I need to gimp it up with my s&m girlfriend to get a key card but she's never home. Picture me driving past her house every 5 minutes to see if her car is there.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 12 November 2004 00:54 (nineteen years ago) link

i went to do a wuzzie mission last night and it told me i needed to swim more to complete the mission. wtf. i hate swimming.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Friday, 12 November 2004 14:12 (nineteen years ago) link

You don't need to do much though, I went and splashed around for about five minutes, went back, and that was good enough. I think you just need a lung capactiy higher than zero.
