God, Dwayne is pathetic. I like the guy (yeah, I made my choice), but every time he calls, and I hang out with him, I keep expecting to pick him up for drinks, only to ultimately find the guy giving a ****job to a .45.
I had just finished a date with Kiki, and was walking across the street for a Ray mission, when I got a call from Dwayne:
"Hey, man. You call?" "No. What's up?" "Oh, I was in the shower, and I heard the phone. I couldn't get out in time, and I thought it was you." "Guess not. Later." "...OK. Later."
Swear to God. So ****ing depressing. Grow a pair, **g.

So I've played about 20 hours worth in the last two days. Is it safe to say that GTAIV is virtual crack? And is that the addiction level referred to on the stats or just the second hand spliff smoke you get from hanging out with Little Jacob?

Heh, Dwayne is the one character in the game that I just can't stand. Playboy had the better personality, but I hated how he tried to play me so I went with Dwayne. Big mistake.
Did Three Leaf Clover the other night. Great mission. I kept it on a separate save, so I can play it over and over again.

Just finished Three Leaf Clover. Great mission. I found that grenades are very helpful on that mission. VERY HELPFUL!

In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then...he shoots fire from the skies, and it is difficult not to think of him as a god. And how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him.

I was a little disappointed that the only part of the robbery you have control over was the escape.

Michelle beat me in bowling. I beat her to death with a bowling pin to put her back in her place.
Question: What's everyone's favorite vehicle so far?
I really like the Cognoscenti.
Jello.....i have not laughed like that in a Long, Long time. Thank you.
Fav Vehicle? Infernus. AFAIK, there is one in the game and you get it only during a specific mission though. Went to the PnS with it, and it was painted that special black that, depending on the current lighting, looks a different color everywhere. So far i have seen Black, Green, Red, Grey, and Two shades of Blue on this one car's paint. That is the moment i decided IGN's 10/10 was well, well deserved.
Just to describe an awesome experience me and my roommate had the first day this game came out:
Our neighbor comes over to play, but he doesnt care about stories, just killing, so he puts in the cheats. We ride a helicopter to the tallest building in Algonquin. We attempt to jump off. I do not have a capture card, but there are ways to jump off of ANY building that will make you survive it. We jumped off, and Niko curled into a Fetal Ball, fell about 40 stories, brushed himself off, jacked a car and drove off to get drunk. Hell Yes.
If anyone is interested on playing on Xbox Live BTW, my GT is "Zander Solo". Hit me up peoples!

The first copule of times I tried the mission relying on grenades, I was blowing myself and/or my mates half the time due to the grenades bouncing off the wrong way or my dropping them by mistake instead of sending them towards a cop/cop car. So, I beat the mission just shoooting away like a madman with my carbine and/or SMG. Once you make it to the car, and put some distance between you and the cops, everything is a breeze. I expected it to be more difficult right to the very end.
Still, I'm a sucker for bank heists. This mission is by far one of the best so far, even better than the bank heist from Vice City.

Just hit Algonquin, finally. Looks so much better, I think. I was sick of depressing Dukes/Broker. Plus now I have my pimp Perseus suit and suede shoes.
Also tried Snow Storm, the first challenging mission...could not escape the cops, though I have lost a 3-star wanted level before. Just needed some more luck with the appearing cops.

If you're being chased, I find that pausing the game to look at the map can be extremely helpful. You can figure out where the cops are and you can plan your route to get away from them.

It's what I do. I just happened to drive poorly. :-p
I usually find a straight that I can get out of the bubble on, and then turn down a side street to avoid the po-po that are sure to ahve shown up on the road just ahead.

That's funny. Fred Armisen and Jason Sudekis both have roles in GTA IV. Jason Sudekis is Richard Bastion and Fred Armisen is the internet nerd the Laslow interacts with.
Laslow: "It's edgy ****."
Internet nerd: "It's not edgy ****, it's not edgy **** at all.
I love that exchange.

Two of my most Hollywood-style badass moments happened during "Meltdown":
- During the section where the remainder of Luca's gang is in the underpass, instead of just running down there to get pumped full of lead, I decide to be an evil bastard. I get my almost-wrecked car, drive it into the park, get a good distance away from the underpass, gun it full throttle, roll out. The car hits and crushes the guy furthest back, the guy closest to the entrance taunts me; so I pull out my Rocket Launcher and blow the car away, mid-taunt.
- I head into the men's room to take out Luca. I find his door. **** shooting him, I drop a grenade in his stall, and walk away. I then cackled like a maniac for 15 minutes.
...O'Doyle rules!

So I was tooling around Algonquin, and I came across a building near the SE coast with a large parking lot, and a pair of security-guard booths at the entrance. There are three large statues that are supposed to be people; looks like two kids and an adult with their arms outstretched.
Well, I do a loop around the parking lot, just seeing what's there, and suddenly, BOOM! Five-star rating. What the hell?!? Now everyone is all over me, and I'm fighting for my life to get out of there. I did absolutely nothing to even warrant a one-star rating. Anyone else been here?

If you try to explore areas of the city you haven't unlocked yet, you'll get a high wanted rating. That's how I got the One Man Army achievement. I nabbed a boat from Happiness Island and drove it over to the westernmost island. I got my 6-star rating then just drove the boat around for 5 minutes.
