Some dude tried to car-jack me!

I was trolling for hookers and stopped briefly because of heavy traffic when some jerk-wad tried to drag me out of my car. Well, needless to say, I floored it but the guy grabbed on to the door and when I took a corner at high speed, he went airborne. He was totally horizontal, feet flapping in the wind, and he didn't let go. A few seconds later, the door came off the hinges and they both went flying. It was hilarious.

Man, Euphoria generates some cool ****.

I like Hostile Negotiation better, as well as a few of the really unique ones, but that one is way up there.

It finally happened. Microsoft (a company I now officially hate) is sending me the box to ship to them for repairs.

No Grand Theft Auto IV for at least a month for me. plain

Dude, I bought GTA3 back in December and I still need to beat it! tongue


I've owned it for four years and have never gotten past the first few missions on the second island.

The game just starts getting a little repetitive after that. So I get bored and stop playing.

Absolutely love this game. I just met Kiki online and we set up a date. I went to Perseus, bought some nice threads, grabbed some shades, took a cab down to where Faustin "used" to live, and picked up the sports car for the date.

I go and pick her up. She's nice (much cooler than Carmen ever was), and take her to a bar to get her drunk. First thing she does is mock my car. My sports car. Dumb woman. Get to the bar. She gets drunk. I get drunk. We get in the car and I take her home and she starts yelling at me for checking out other women in the bar and how she would use her position in the Courts to screw with my life...all because she's drunk and claims I was checking out other women in the bar. Got her number. I dig this chick.

I've only been able to play this game for a total of about 8 hours so far, but I am loving every second of it. Driving while drunk is really fun, and I actually managed to outrun the cops while doing it!

Also, the political and social commentary on the radio is simply hilarious. I love the ad for "pickyourbaby.com" or whatever it was.

Gervais also does a radio interview (not sure which station), as well as his stand-up act at the comedy club later on, and his TV special. He does a five-minute routine about AIDS. And it's hilarious.

Bas Rutten (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3K-mrlYG7Y) also has a show on TV. And Jim Norton plays the guy who's ordered by the Judge to slap his wife and have a duel with her on that conservative court show on the radio.

So, I'm doing the "Blow Your Cover" mission with Playboy X -- awesome mission, I might add -- and I walk out the front door of the apartment guns blazing to get to my car. I'm hauling ass down the road to get out of the wanted circle, and I make it; Playboy tells me to take me back to his apartment, which I'm cool with...

...until I check my map, and realize I've just pulled onto the runway of Francis International Airport, I've got a four-star rating, and there's six cop cars and a SWAT van on their way.

Thus ensues a half-hour chase across Bohan and Broker, involving eight exploded cop cars, approximately 20 dead cops, a stolen SWAT van, a shootout at a toll booth, and a seven-car pileup on the game's BQE, thanks to not being able to see due to the spurt of blood that occurred plowing into a sidewalk full of innocent bystanders.

Managed to lose my rating hiding the van down an alley in Brooklyn. The reward? The "Walk Free" Achievement, and the distinct honor of not being able to pull the van out again, jacking someone's Faggio, and puttering across the Broker Bridge into Manhattan to drop Playboy off.

And I'm totally amazed how deep the cell-phone mechanic is in the game. I heard a song I was loving a few times, but didn't know what it was, so I called the "Song ID" number from the booklet and got my response via text message. Genius.

I just played the blow you cover mission as well. Very fun mission. Two things, I shot one cop in the leg at the top of a stairwell which caused him to tumble down the flight of steps. Followed by shooting the cop next to him with a shotgun causing him to do a complete cartwheel in the air. It was awesomely hilarious.

Do you mean how to do it, or how to get to the killing aspect of it?

Keep doing missions until it's very blatant as to which you have to get. It's a forced mission when you get to that point.

For specifics...shoot all the red guys between you and him as he flees.

I was having a problem with that. I was listening to this amazingly catchy song on the Eastern European station, and I tried to dial the number in the booklet, but I'd always get a busy signal or whatever. So I just came online to look at the soundtrack to see if I recognized the name, and it was "Schweine" by Glukoze. Love that song.

Actually, you can pick which one you want to kill--but killing Dwayne has no benefit whatsoever, aside from money (which is pretty useless at that point).

I love working for all the mob families and watching them poke fights with each other. It's much more satisfying because it's late in the game so it really shows you how much higher they are on the food chain than the small fry you started with.

The first thing I did was turn on the TV, and saw the Men's Room with Bas and Jeremy show. Funny stuff. He seems to enjoy recommending attacks to the groin. [face_laughing]

I chose to cap Playboy. Entertaining gun fight in his loft and then chasing him down with my assault rifle blazing was a ton of fun. Pretty intense. I've been working for UL Paper recently. Those missions are also pretty cool...and I've been hanging with Brucie more. He annoyed me at first but he's grown on me.
