...And, it seems, we're going to have to wait a bit longer for the GTA IV DLC:
Extra GTA IV Content Bumped to Holidays
The Xbox 360-exclusive episodic DLC slips a bit.
by Ryan Geddes
June 5, 2008 - Microsoft and Take-Two made headlines when they announced last year that they'd be joining forces to release Grand Theft Auto IV downloadable content exclusively for the Xbox 360.
That content was supposed to arrive this fall, sometime between August and October. But GTA IV publisher Take-Two Interactive said in its quarterly financial statement today that the DLC has been pushed to the start of company's next fiscal year, which runs from November 2008 through January 2009.
The decision was made to "provide a better balance in Take-Two's release schedule," company officials said. Midnight Club: Los Angeles, another upcoming Rockstar Games title, is set for release on Sept. 9 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Take-Two and Rockstar are still mum about what exactly gamers can expect from the GTA IV downloadable content, although the company does officially refer to it as "episodic."
So, I gotta ask everyone...what special ability do you think Kate would've given Niko, anyway?
Superpowers when drunk. She is Irish, after all. It would turn the game into Crackdown in Liberty City. It would be the ****ing coolest thing ever.
She'd probably let you kick her back door in, Carlito's-style.
Anyone else find it weird that when Kate turns your advances down, there's this long pause of the two of them sitting in the car together...and then she gets out? Maybe there's some kind of "Kiss-Kate-on-the-Cheek" code.

I read that it's only being pushed back about a month or so, so that Take-Two can use it to beef up their next fiscal year. It will be still make it's "fall '08" release date because it will be out in November instead of October.
I read all that on Gamesradar.com

Regardless, I think it's a moot point, since given any path you choose at the end, Kate becomes unavailable. Unless, of course, the DLC includes some sort of "happy ending content" for you and Kate if you chose the revenge path. Other cool ideas would be the ability to engage in asset purchasing missions (a la Vice City), more races, more activities or available locales for activities. As in ,for example, one or more bars with billiard tables, since it's idiotic that there's only one pool table available for Niko and his pals in all of Liberty City!

GTA story:
So, I was in the internet cafe the other day, checking my email to see if Alex had responded to my inquiries off of craplist. Nothing came in. So I started surfing the internet and came to a website advertising child beauty pageants. Clicked on the link and was immediately taken to an LCPD webpage informing me that an office would be visiting my location shortly. I walk out of the internet cafe and I immediately have a 5 star wanted level. I hop on my bike and flee. After eluding the cops on the streets I took my bike to the vicinity of a stunt jump pointed out to the water. I hit the jump, land in the water and evade the cops by swimming out to the middle of the harbor.
I stand amazed at the depth this game offers.

I just finished it on the PS3. I chose the 'revenge' route, and I'm glad I did.
Kate was terribly annoying.

The Sun "paper" is a **** tabloid that isn't even worth being used to line a bird's cage.
There's also a "Free James Pedeaston!" website, since he is in prison, in Bali. You may remember him from the "Wild Traveller" radio show in GTA: San Andreas. (The Thai-ladyboy accusation stuff on that site is especially howlingly funny.)
Also, is that Jim Norton as the Warcraft player who hates Christmas cards on WKTT? That bit is hilarious.

There are too many chase missions! I HATE chase missions!
I'm a little disappointed with the missions in general to be honest. I enjoy just exploring and messing around the most - how far into the game until Alderney is unlocked?

It's right after 3 Leaf Clover, which is a mission for Packie. Dunno where you're up to though, so can't say how far it is. I thought it was on par with the other games though.

I've just finished my second mission with Packie, so I shouldn't be far off.

Yeah, Alderney is unlocked after "Three Leaf Clover" (one of the best missions of the game, along with "To live and Die in Alderney"), because that's the last Packie mission and then you're prompted to go help out that miserable smack-head brother of his, Derrick, who's slumming in Alderney.

So I decided to try the 100% completion thingie. Now I've reached 20 level vigilante, completed more than quite a few of the Most Wanted hits, popped more than half of the flying rats and doing the stunt jumps when I can find them. Yet my completion level only at about 87% Now I thought popping the pigeons, doing the jumps and completing the most wanted hits allotted for just about 10% or less of the completion thingie. Am I missing something here?

Yes to all. I completed all the races, but do I have to repeat and win the 20 races for the achievement as well? I even met all possible girls and dumped them all. Now Niko's kinda not getting some but none of those girls were worth the grief. But I digress...
I just completed the most wanted/manhunt achievement and am left with about 75 pigeons to hunt and some 30 odd jumps to find.
