To be fair, that's an average day in LS.

I thought melraz bought that damn thing after we finished the 5th heist. I haven't been on in so long that I'm going through dot killing withdrawal. Even worse, I missed the big 2015 nite shift reunion Might be a week or two before I can get back on, though, between baby and momma both not feeling well. I did finally manage to get all my shit hooked back up again last night. I might actually have a reliable connection now, after we finished hardwiring everything over the weekend. Even managed to finally turn on the xbox one that I got for Christmas.

This is part of my current set. I got this one once before and went into a room and started carefully inviting people to impromptu races. I just kept that window open so I could invite anyone I got near. Someone took me up on it and later sent me a message figuring I was doing it for my daily objective, so there are some nice people out there. You could also try going on game chat and seeing if anyone wanted to trade two-person objectives - your impromptu race for their capture, or something. One that kills me in my tracks is "kill revealed player." Is that a deathmatch thing, or can that be done in Freemode? I think it's a deathmatch thing. I can't believe everyone doesn't do these - it's the easiest $25,000 in the game, and a lot of people complain about not having money. Yeah, that's a deathmatch thing. I've never used it, but there's an option in deathmatches to reveal all players.

I think we made about $1.57 each when we did it. We should've restarted.

I think I've had that happen exactly twice. One was a guy that melraz and I were fighting maybe a year ago. The other was, of all people, the guy in the dunce cap that RUkered and were fighting a few days ago.

You neglected to mention the two times I accidentally got you with proximity mines. And the time I wandered into one that I had forgotten about. It was a rough night in that regard.

Those dots were terrible last night. I don't think we ran into a single one that was really any kind of threat. I somehow managed to unlock two tints last night. Been a while since I did that. I think my headset is only working about half the time, because I couldn't hear some of what you were saying, and vice versa. Couldn't hear the second 1:1 guy at all for some reason. That's part of the reason I'm not talking that much. The guys I could hear (Zentorno boy and one of the guys on the beach) were annoying enough for me to mute em eventually. I couldn't figure out what they had to brag about. One guy kept bragging about being in passive. The other about how much he didn't care about getting his car blown up a bunch of times.

The hammer is part of the special edition that folks paid more for, like those vehicles that show up on the website but aren't available. I kinda miss having the hammer/screwdriver etc like in Vice City.

I mostly like what the new heist vehicles have done to freemode. Seems like people are using armed Insurgents instead of tanks mostly now. They're much easier prey. And Kurumas seem to have supplanted Zentornos, which is nice, since they're cheaper when you blow em up. The only downside is the 16 grand for the unarmed Insurgent. That's a pisser. Ran into my first jump jet over the weekend, and promptly blew it out of the sky. I did get killed by a Lazer for the first time in forever, but he only got me once.

Yeah, I think my numbers are off. I said that we blew that chromed Kuruma up 20 times, but now I remember you saying you had about that much just by yourself. It's not hard to do when the assholes called it in as quick as we could blow it up. I know we've all bitched about it a million times, but it really is dumber than shit that you get punished for defending yourself. All those guys wanted to do was drive around in that stupid thing shooting out of it when they could and trying to run you over when they couldn't. I'm not going into passive and hopping up on a ledge just because someone is in a car. It's a gettin', I say, it's a getting blowed up real quick. The only time we went into passive was when one guy kept calling in tanks on the beach. Even then, I managed to be in a good spot where he'd hit something in between us before the rockets would hit me, so I was able to wear him out with my RPG. Forgot to mention - we were on the beach so long that the fight spilled out into the ocean. At one point, Nate was way out there trying to Allah Akbar a sumbitch with a jet ski, and I was trying to work on my lung capacity while on my way to stab somebody underwater. Neither one of us achieved those goals, but damn if it wasn't fun trying. Wish I'd have been around for this. I hate missing a good beach party. I'm gonna try to get on tonight. I'm the only one in the house that ain't sick though, so who knows if it'll happen.

I didn't realize you could throw stickies out of Insurgents. I've only drive one once, and that was after both occupants wound up on the wrong end of a shotgun. And you're not doing the full Dragon to NPCs if you don't give em names and back stories before running em down.

I'm halfway tempted to play it just to see what a shitshow it is, since I have a computer that would handle it for once

We got the beach guy plenty of times before he started to turn it around. Little bastard shouldn't have wandered over to the beach after bragging that he was up on me. He ended up well down. Once he got you pinned down I could never find him. I picked off the other dot a couple times, but never could find the main threat The Insurgent thing got me thinking. We should start using those for sticky bombings. Just drive up to your target, set of the sticky and drive off. Too bad they're so vulnerable to head on shotgunning They seem much more vulnerable than Kurumas. I've never shot someone out of one of those. I did blow up 6 of them last night in the span of 10 minutes before anybody else joined though. RUkered got on for a while, and we mauled some pink dot in a dunce cap. That stupid cap made him easy to spot while he was in cover. I put sniper rounds right through it twice.

Did the bad guys get spawn killed down on the beach afterwards?

I know Robert and Mel have done that on several occasions - walked up to someone and tried to punch them or something knowing they'd die so they could check the score. I really wanted to do that one night fighting this one dude, but I thought it was so much funnier that no matter how much he tried, he was never gonna kill me. Never. And he didn't. You know, I never pay much attention to dudes' names. I laugh about them occasionally, but that's it. I did go into one room last night with no real malice in mind - just wanted to see if I could do some of those police challenges or steal some Simeon cars or whatnot, just goofing around - when there was a dude who had some problem with his headphones or something so that whatever was on his game audio was BLARING through the game chat, constantly. He never said a word. That got an immediate waypoint set on him. He ran into his apartment, audio still blaring, so I said "screw it" and left. I go into another room and hear this in the game chat: Person 1: Anybody got a mic? (long pause) Anybody got a mic? Person 2: Yeah, I got a mic End of conversation. Not another word was said by anybody. I was a bit puzzled by that. Some dude left his Adder parked outside a clothing store while he was shopping, and I chucked a proximity mine on it by instinct until I thought of 16 days with the sisters, so I quit the game before the mine could blow up. You're a reformed man. I really, really need to shoot things tonight, but it ain't gonna happen.

It probably did look about like it sounds. I was trying to allah akbar the guy, but I didn't react fast enough to set off the sticky. I ran him over and was starting to back up when I saw Stout come barreling up the hill. All I saw after that was a lot of explosions.

How about disappointingly quick. I like my dots dumb, but I like em to stick around so I can kill em a bunch. Nobody really seemed to want to fight last night, or at least we took the fight out of em quick.

Fuck that guy. And fuck Lester too for telling us about it. Too bad we didn't have a professional motorcycle rider who never wrecks to get us through that.

Stout was complaining that the guy was about to go into passive again when I got the invite. Give the little fella his due - he stuck it out for the whole deathmatch. I died once, when I got caught in one of Stout's allah akbars. Stout got him about a dozen times Turned out that was one of my daily objectives, and I didn't even know it. The game must've got frustrated with me never completing those, because the 3 it gave me today were kill 20 players, do a 1:1 deathmatch, and do a deathmatch. Clearing out that room was disappointingly easy. I don't think I ever got killed by a player other than Stout.

I really hope that guy can't get us banned from offline. He's with somebody, after all. Had a hell of a lot of fun, though I could've done without that one guy at the end. Amazingly, I think I only blew up two vehicles. One was that steve guy's Insurgent. No clue what the other was. I think my favorite was the 18 wheeler kill.

Hey Stout hop off my shit. Damn, but I never need to go into the game chat again.

Learn something new every day. Don't you get out on work release about now? Anyway, with apologies to Jello Biafra (actually fuck him, it's his damn fault this song has been stuck in my head all morning, no matter how much bluegrass I listen to to try to flush it out): gonna kill kill kill kill kill some dots kill kill kill kill kill some dots kill kill kill kill kill some dots tonight.

I will be damned if I didn't just sit here rooting for that chicken to make it by the time it got to the middle of the road. Talking about y'all on that dump truck with miniguns - there are pictures of that somewhere in this thread. I don't remember who posted it. Robert - I hope I'm around for the dump truck akbar. You in the 18 wheeler is still one of my favorites because I didn't see you coming. I was too focused on that same dot with my shotgun out. I don't remember if you were off the radar or not, but I think what made me laugh the most was that you weren't in a hurry. That truck just meandered into my view from around the corner so slow I thought it was an NPC. Then my whole screen started shaking and it slowly hit me what happened. Lost my shit. I think the biggest question at this point is what HAVEN'T you blown someone up in? Yeah, I have to admit I was rooting for that chicken too. I wasn't off radar for the tanker truck, but that poor bastard was in a 1:1 with melraz, so it was just as good as if I was. I still haven't got somebody with a jet-ski suicide bomb. That or a sailboat might be the ultimate. Gonna leave the tractor to Stout.

One sticky won't take out a cargobob. I found that out the hard way once. Don't know how many it takes, but one definitely ain't enough.

Reminded me of my favorite death I can recall. I know it was me, Robert, Mel and Austrian sensation Herby~!, but Mis may have been in on it, too. We had Herby's dump truck (bought during the billionaire days) and three of us were standing in the bed of the dump truck minigunning everything in sight. The cops were cheesed, to put it mildly. I was on the road trying to jump in that sumbitch to drive it down the road. Someone shot down a cop chopper and it landed right on me. That was right after I survived an insane fall in that same dump truck after Herby whacked the thing into the cargobob one too many times. Next time we're on, I'm gonna try an allah akbar with a dump truck, just to see what happens.
