So when Smitty goes to the park at night in shorts saying 'he really fancies a jog', what does he mean by that?

Serious question, regardless of that being a joke - why are you so bothered by my sexual habits?

I'm sick of this sneery crap, just because I have more than one frickin' sexual partner a year.

Forced my way into my friend's house last night to get a go on this and it's amazing!

Only played for a couple of hours, just driving round and exploring, but I think it's going to make me pick up a 360 finally.

We found one jump where you have to clear an old disused

swimming pool

, and as the car flew over I noticed what appeared to be a couple of

skate ramps

. Can you get a

skate board

in the game?!

There's a big wide long road, leading uphill towards a huge arch (looks a bit like the Arc d'Triomphe). I was going full-pelt up the road in an awesome muscle car, took off at the top of the road and landed right on top of a group of people standing under the arch! It was incredible! Sprays of blood and bodies flying everywhere!

Also, has anyone with the PS3 version used the sixaxis motion controls to steer the bikes or helicopters? Does it work well?

You're the one who keeps saying 'job' :(

(and are always quick to 'brag' about your promiscuity in off topic :huh:)

I didn't see the obvious sexual connotations, there, silly me.

I mean, who says ''oh man that job was great''?

Or ''i'm good at jobs''?

(and are always quick to 'brag' about your promiscuity in off topic :huh:)

I wouldn't say I brag, really, but hey.

Folks, regarding Michelle (spoilered although its not really so read at your own peril)

Do you think there would be any consequence of me killing Michelle during a date in terms of continuation of the storyline? She is doing my head in. :(

That's what I was thinking after discovering it last night... Hmmm. My replay of the story is certainly going to be fun :huh:

Can you do that though? :huh:

i tried to lock onto her last night, during the first date- the one where you bowling. But it would lock onto the other nearest target...even if they were behind michelle

Heh, I had to turn up the colour settings a notch. It's got a beautiful murky look to it, but on the default settings was just a tad too murky for my eyes.

I went on a tramp killing spree earlier when I got lost in the subways (earning a 15 minute 6 star uncostested by cops, if anyone's looking to cheat the 5 minute achievement). It was like Apt Pupil Goes East or something.

I watched Republican Space Rangers on the TV tonight. Needless to say, it blows anything that [adult swim] have ever shown clean out of the water. Even Dethlok Metalocalypse. It was when I noticed the massive reference to another game that I became convinced that the TV is one of the best things in any game ever.

I wonder how many more cock and balls shaped things I've yet to see. It reminds of that scene in Superbad where the fat kid keeps drawing personified cocks.

I'm assuming the reference is to Halo?

I wonder what some of the replican extremist GTA fans are thinking playing this. It's more or less a relentless attack on the right....even more so than the other versions :huh:

Oh man, just seen that Halo cartoon on the telly, fantastic!

"Space Rangers whut are i-oh shit."

"Guddammit!"

It's not really Halo, though, is it? It's about the Republican party and American foreign policy.

It just uses Halo-type stuff as a metaphor.

Not doing much for me at the moment. It's weird, I normally always enjoy to explore well crafted environments in games (Shenmue comes to mind).

I think it has something to do with the tone of the game, it's too much tongue in cheek.

I had a great GTA day when I fired it up this morning.

First up, I went for a jog (believe it or not, I actually typed 'job' there - luckily I proof read this or Smitty might have got angry :)) along the pier at Hove Beach at 6am and watched the sun rise. There was hardly anyone about, just a guy sweeping the pier. On the way back, it was full of walkers and tourists. I saw a guy snapping photos of the city skyline, and thought "yes! a camera!" I bumped into him so he dropped it, and scooped it up for myself, only to find that the luddite Nico was unable to operate it, so I tossed it into the sand. The photographer didn't care, he just pulled out a backup camera.

I then paid my first trip to Tw@, and found a nice-looking car for sale in the small ads. Concocting a devious plan to steal it, I made a note of the buyer's phone number, then saw a link to a child beauty pageant website. I...erm....'accidentally' clicked the link, but the site was blocked by the police, and I heard over the radio something like "all units, there's a sexual deviant in the Tw@ cafe." Cue a four-star escape (peados must be way up on the LCPD's priorities), with me ending up just outside the police search area back on Hove Beach. As the cops scoured the fairground behind me, I gave the car-selling dude a call, but the number didn't work. Pah.

Are you supposed to be able to call in-game phone numbers?

It's already almost certainly my favourite game ever, but why-oh-why to R* refuse to put a proper twin stick control scheme in the console GTAs? Y'know, so the camera actually stays where I put it rather always struggling to get behind Nico all the time?
