That one guy was a fucking one man wrecking crew. I don't remember ever running into somebody that tough. I did get one funny kill on him when he and I spawned right on top of each other at the same time, and proceeded to have a pistol whipping duel. I came out on top then, but lost out later on when we wound up Mary Louing right into another melee contest. Then he left and the fun started. There was one point where every player other than us was in one glitch or another. The damn room kept filling up though. We had it down cleared for a second, but then some poor level 17 came into the game. He was having a hard time, even before he challenged me to a 1:1 deathmatch (I wound up winning 4 of those last night). I sniped him him once or twice, then Stout took over and mauled him. Some other asshole shot me while I was still in the 1:1, but I got him back, then allah akbared him with the level 17 guy's Superbird. Level 17 left, so we went after the other guy. We killed him from the east pay and spray down to the docks. He took off for the airport, so we killed him from the airport back to the docks again. His only really useful tactic was to go on passive, but he got run over/minced with chopper blades on multiple occasions. He finally made his escape to the parking garage glitch, so we left him there. He kept trying to taunt me with voice messages, but he didn't have much luck since I'd already killed him 45 times by then. Bigass scrum with the cargobob/tank combo was fun for a bit. I kept trying to use heat seekers on the cargobob, but it always targeted the tank. I know I hit the tank at least twice, so it was probably pretty fubar by the time they finally landed it. Saw my first Intimidator in a long time right after that. Proceeded to shoot the driver out of it. Left him a proximity mine present that he unwrapped about 10 minutes later when he tried to make an escape. A million white dots spawned into the game right around us just as I was trying to leave. I got about 15 straight kills on them without even getting hit by anything. It was like all the worst players in GTA decided to pay us a visit.

Yeah, it's the one from the 3rd heist - the one we stole from the Quarry

He got the one with the Merryweather/gun turret one.

I forgot you had bought that thing. We should've tried it in that big scrum where there were 2-3 others.

Sounds like at least one of us is gonna have to buy one of those things. The guy that kept glitching around the map was funny. He didn't always jump around like that, but it did happen a bunch. I finished up maybe 5-3 on him. Shot him in the west of the mall at one point and was setting up to snipe spawn him. Then he shot me before he even showed up on the map. He was teleporting all over the place on the map, as well as on screen. Weird thing was that it wasn't just him. The cops had him cornered at one point. I was trying to find him in my sniper scope, and the damn cops were glitching all over. Never did get any bad rep. I guess MightiMunch was just being a tease.

I should've never mentioned that thing about not having blown up a single POV. 20 minutes later, I had taken out 7 or 8, with 4 of em being Insurgents at $16K plus a pop. I was rather proud of my first two kills on those things, though. There were two trucks at once charging in on me while I was on foot. First one ran into a mess of sticky bombs I had left between me and him. The second hit a low wall right in front of me and got shotgunned out of the truck when he came to a sudden stop. I had no idea you could shoot people out of those things, but it's good do know. Left 3 proximity mines on the truck as a present for him when he got back in. Holy shit did we bite off more than we could chew with those last 3. melraz had to leave to go play choo choo, and Stout and I immediately decided we had other places to be. Wound up getting an hour and and a half of sleep, so I'm going on adrenaline at this point.

Poor little fella did get a bit butthurt. The message he sent me is classic 12 year old gibberish: "im reporting u and ur friends for cheating and using spaming hope they kick u and your friends off or just leave me alone" He could've reported us for a bunch of shit (spawn sniping, car squashing, allah akbaring, molotoving, shotgunning, maching gunning, murdering with flares, general douchebaggery...) I guess being able to actually play the game counts as cheating to him. I have no clue what the hell "using spaming" even means.

Dear white dots, red dots, and pink dots. I will be playing freemode tonight, and I will shoot each and every one of you in the face. Repeatedly. Consider yourselves warned. It's been that kinda day.

I still get challenged to 1:1's by randoms after I kill em in freemode. I think they do it accidentally most of the time. Won two last time I was on. Killed both of em one time to ensure the win, then sat back and let the rest of the crew have their way.

Had a shitload of fun torturing dots with my fellow miscreants last night. That was just about exactly what I needed last night after a shitty, shitty week. I'm still laughing at that poor level 3 guy that thought he was gonna charge in and get my bounty while there were 5 of us around the pier. Also, I think I shot as many swimmers last night as I had in all my previous play combined.

Single player DLC would be completely lost on me. I've played hundreds of hours of this game since I got it on the release day, but I've still done next to nothing in single player, outside of the minimum required to finish the main storyline. No side missions or finding shit or anything like that. I never bought a property, or tried to level anyody's skills. I think I did one assassination. I finally finished the main storyline last fall. It's funny, but I think the multi-player has killed any interest I had in the single player. It's not a bad single player game or anything, but I just never could get back into it after multiplayer actually started to work. It's a long way from PS2 days for me, where I must've finished Vice City at least 10 times.

I did get on a few decent runs last night, despite my son being really fussy for some reason. First room I managed a two for one kill with a sticky bomb. Hit a bounty with one just as a white dot was converging on him in a Zentorno. Second room cleared out really quickly. Only one guy wanted to fight, and getting killed repeatedly without getting me once cured him of that. Third room looked promising. Got 3 player X killed player Y messages before I finished loading in. There was a huge scrum of dots around the downtown pay and spray. 3 guys were on the roof holding off everybody. I got on a building nearby and sniped one. Second came over to his fallen comrade to investigate and ate another sniper round. Third guy came charging over, and met the same fate as the other two. Then they all left the room. Highlight of the night may have been the game telling me that MagnificentLesbian had just killed sharknado.

Sorry about that man. The baby started melting down, and I was dead tired, so I figured I'd better get him settled and get some sleep.

And with that, the transformation is complete. Stout has become melraz.

I ought to be on around my usual late time. I had a freaking dream about shooting dots, so I'm gonna take that as a sign and shoot dots.

Pretty sure it was always broken. I never noticed it till melraz pointed it out one night. It wasn't even subtle.

I'm going to be the last one actually playing this damned game, aren't I. I haven't tried doing a random DM/race/etc in months. Have they changed how they work? I always spent forever looking at the join screens, so I had plenty of time to figure out if I was in something shitty and back out. I really can't imagine doing the heists with randoms. I'd really rather just shoot em in freemode. Speaking of which, I'll probably be on late tonight, if anybody's around. Won't be on after that till Sunday at least.

Finding deathmatches in this game has always been hit or miss at best. Finding a particular type, especially something like vehicle deathmatch, is probably damn near impossible unless you're playing with friends. I think I've successfully hosted one deathmatch with randoms, and it's not for a lack of trying.

I have done this myself. I see a couple of guys go into a one on one, and just think "oh you poor fools" to myself. Then I try to show them the error of their ways.

My wife ended up dealing with the hospital directly and managed to knock off almost half of the bill. We sent ahead and paid the rest. Hopefully we'll get that reimbursed from the insurance at some point, but at least it will get the collectors off of our backs. At worst we'll be out the remainder, but we'll never have to deal with that insurance company or especially the woman that sold the policy again. I can live with that. She has been getting increasingly slimy, asking us to do stuff that is borderline illegal (telling us to claim financial hardships that we don't qualify for at the hospital) I'll be glad to be shot of her and that company. Everybody's on my work insurance now, which is pretty good. They do the same garden variety annoying crap that all insurance companies do, but if we stay on top of em they'll eventually get it right.

Y'all acted like I had leprosy or something, because everybody except Mis dropped as soon as I got on. Mis and I played long enough to ruin some people's days in freemode. No really good fights, though there were a couple decent ones. We did manage to make complete fools out of two guys that kept trying to come out of my bounty. One of em finally got the bounty, but I went about 12-0 on the other guy, and the kills just kept getting funnier. I was up on the mall and saw him coming up that giant, winding staircase. Threw a proximity mine on the top, even though I figured he'd be smart enough to know it was there. He wasn't though. Next time he came up in passive, ran behind one of those big AC units, and came out. Didn't help him though, as he ran right into the sticky trap I set up for him. He also at multiple RPGs at exactly the same spot on top of the pay and spray, and died multiple times trying to come up in Buzzards. We finally left after the tanks started appearing, in addition to the Insurgents. I did learn several.useful bits of info. - Every crew with "Texas" in the name continues to suck. This continues to piss me off, being a Texas myself. I'm consoling myself by assuming them to be fans of the university, rather than actual Texans. - The new Savage helicopter gunship seems to be deadlier than the Buzzard, but a single heat seeker round will bring it down - As I figured, no POV charge for blowing up the Insurgent with the turret. Managed to get one with 4 occupants last night.

Hadn't thought of that. Might be a good idea. It's looking increasingly like the policy we were sold did not cover what the person we contracted with (who is separate from the actual insurance company) to get it said it covered. One small piece of good news is that the insurance company has been asking the doctor if the C-section was really an emergency. That will be pretty easy to prove and/or get the doctor to sign off on. The fact that they're evaluating it rather than dismissing it out of hand is something, at least.

Insurance company is being really dodgy on a complications clause from my son's birth. 10 weeks later, and we've only been able to get them to tell us that they'll tell us what, if any, they'll pay in a couple weeks. Maybe. Even getting that far required us threatening to sic a pack of lawyers on em. Meanwhile the hospital has already started the collections process, and I can't really blame em for it. It's getting to the point where we're looking at footing a 10K hospital bill ourselves, and hoping the insurance company pays us back at least something later on. Only good thing is that that's the last time we have to deal with that company. Everything from here on is on my work policy, which is a million times easier to deal with.

I looked it up. Apparently the turret mounted version is a Pegasus vehicle, but the unarmed version goes in your garage, and counts like any POV. I've seen two Hydras in freemode so far. Both were blown up in the streets. Thinking about it, I got my first ever kill on a jet with the heat seeker last night. Of course, it was that unarmed trainer jet, and the guy had just landed it near the mall, but a kill is a kill. I blew up RUkered with the same weapon 10 seconds later because I'm an idiot.

I could not figure out how that guy could see us, when we could not see him. He was no problem if you could get in close, but I've never seen anybody snipe like that. There were several times where I knew exactly where he was but could not see him. I'd be watching for him to pop up when I'd get sniped without him ever showing up on my screen. Once I could see his muzzle flashes but not him. I figured I would wait for him to shoot again and try to shoot the flash but I got sniped before I could do anything. He wasn't even in cover, so I have no clue how that happened. I got the first tank with an allah akbar, but I had no interest in going after #2. Think he ended up one kill on me, but it was him and two muppets against 4 of us. Nobody else was much count. There was one guy that kept flashing/bouncing all over the map, but it didn't do him much good. Blew up my first Insurgent last night. Saw him run over RUkered, and figured he would go after me, so I put 5 sticky bombs in the middle of the street and stood in amongst em. The fool got a surprise when he tried to run me over. The stupid thing is that if you blow up one of those things you get charged for it, and get bad sport points. That's ridiculous. What are we supposed to do, let some asshole kill us just because he bought the new, shiny vehicle. Piss on that. I didn't notice if I got bad sport points for the tank.
