  1. Is it wrong that I'm hoping I get hit by that lose a weapon bug, so I can lose the damn Gusenberg Sweeper? I've been trying to drop that thing for months. And I already know I'll be actively trying to get the psychotic mental state in freemode. If it makes people come after me, all the better.
  2. Aw, I'll miss hearing somebody shout "fuck off Lester" during heavy combat in freemode. Won't miss it happening to me though.
  3. Oh hell yes. I can't log on at the moment, but I'm telepathically setting that in my xbox right now.
  4. Hopefully I didn't kill either of them. No real I idea to be sure, though. I was trying to get to a Simeon car, and it wound up in the middle of a huge scrum. After things settled down a bit, I noticed a crew colored dot.
  5. I got on a little on Saturday. Unlocked the Grim Reaper tat that I don't have any place for, and got an ignition bomb kill or two. Ran into somebody with a crew tag in freemode - soul reaper, or something like that. Don't know who that is, and couldn't find a similar name in the online list. I may have run them over without realizing, because I didn't think any crew would be in the server. I ran into another server where the sticky bombs wouldn't work, but this time it saved me. Was in the Simeon car when somebody threw two onto the back of it. Both disappeared, so I just hopped out, shotgunned the guy, and blew up his Entity. The same server was the source of endless bounties. I stole 3 cars, and got 3 bounties put on me for them.
  6. The guy that kept messaging me was funny. First he claims to be too good for us. When I asked why we were killing him 3 for 1, he starts whining about it not being fair because he's outnumbered. I don't think being a badass works that way. I've had the sticky bomb issue happen on a few servers. Leaving for another session usually fixes it.
  7. Last night was tank night for some reason. Saw more last night than I had in the last few weeks combined. There were two guys on the last map that grabbed at least 3 tanks each. I honestly don't see what would be fun about driving around in one of those things. I grabbed one once after getting sick of those two fools. I was honestly glad it was on fire by the time I'd taken both of their tanks, so I wouldn't have to deal with the thing. Did get one good kill right when we got into the first server with our bounties. I was down an alleyway and saw two or three guys park at the other end to come after me. Launched a grenade into their parked cars, and the entire left side of my screen lit up with alternating messages of you killed so and so, followed blew up so and so's personal vehicle. Got one more ignition bomb kill as well. Shot a guy out of the Simeon car. Thought he would come after me, but no luck. Parked the car and ran away. Another guy came by to try to steal it, probably as the timer was about to run out on it.
  8. I get insanely frustrated at death matches because I'm awful at them. The shotgun ones I have an okay chance but as soon as a sniper rifle is involved I'm completely screwed. I just get super quiet (even moreso than usual) because I don't feel like I've been around chatting online enough to curse you all as much as I'm doing in my head. I think a lot of the problem is that I have almost no history of online gaming, and really 75% of the games I've played since I was a teenager were sports games, so I never developed the muscle memory or knowledge of tactics to be able to compete with most people playing online. I'm getting better, no more of the 2 kills, 20 deaths type of matches like when I first started but I'm still lucky to get anywhere near a 1:1 k/d ratio. This was the problem I had at the beginning. I was trying to think of the last real shooter I played much of, and all I could come up with was Goldeneye for the N64. Only other one I've played was Doom 2. I've never played a game online before this one. I learned how to do the Mary Lou shit because I started doing a lot of DMs with randoms, and got tired of having it done to me all the time. That made a huge difference. I still get schooled in DMs on occasion, but I come out ahead more than often that not. One thing that bugs me about DMs is that they reward stupid play. I did one last night that threatened to go on forever. I was in a hurry to log off, so I just ran around the map inviting people to shoot me, and opening up on anybody I saw. I wound up winning the thing, but had at least 5 more deaths than anybody else in the match. That just seems dumb to me. Maybe that's how DMs work in all games? I've just never done them before. And like melraz said, feel free to cuss me out. Him cussing me out after my sticky bomb the tanker trick in a DM may be my favorite moment of this game.
  9. JT and I definitely differ on the big bag o' guns. I've always liked the ability to access all my guns at once in the GTA games. I don't want to analyze the mission objectives and make intelligent decisions on what weaponry to bring. I want to solve problems through the application of overwhelming firepower. Plus, I know I'd always end up with heavy sniper/combat MG or combat MG/assault shotgun. Like how I only ever used 2 guns in ME3. That said, I do wind up with way too many types of guns in this game. I always dump everything I don't use, so that I don't have to cycle through shitty weapons. After doing a few DMs with forced weapons last night, I left a pile of 6 or 7 guns on the ground in freemode. Wish I could drop the damned Gusenberg. Looking forward to the extra garage space next week, though I'm disappointed that they won't have mansions. Me being a nerd, I've already got a list of cars to buy. I'll probably be on for a bit tonight till about 7 my time. Might check out a bit of the draft to see where my fellow Aggies end up.
  10. Extradition is just a matter of bringing the right equipment along. If you grab 2 fighter jets and a buzzard or two, it becomes pretty easy. Certainly easier than trying to steal a damned cargobob. The fighter jets make short work of the plane taking off from Zancudo, and the buzzards can tag the DA easily. Have one person in place on the ground where the DA is going to spawn and you're golden.
  11. I think about half of us immediately thought Midnight Express as soon as you said that about tag teams. I'm now 2/3 as evil as JT. Got sticky bomb kills 16 and 17. I take way, way too much pleasure in those.
  12. Damnit. I just got Seven Spanish Angels out of my head.
  13. That is an interesting way to remember it. In actuality - I somehow was battling JT for first. I am directly above him. I go "JT I am directly above you". (since we were doing a good job all night long trying to communicate when we were passing as to not boning each other) JT immediately flies up. I blow up and see "KidSix bombed you" JT goes happily on his way That event disappered from my mind in a haze of Allegra. I totally forgot that I buzzed the rudder of your Mallard. I think I I was just stunned to actually be in first place during plane race and not have crashed during the first three checkpoints.. Had I been paying attention and not been an asshole, I'd have given up the lead with you being that close. I thought for sure I had that helicopter race in the bag, but then came the mid-air cluster fuck with Dolfan's hot pink helicopter and I had to make the emergency landing on the docks. Buzzard was too fucked to fly so I respawned to get a new aircraft. Can't blame Dolfan for that one. I was flying the pink chopper. I think he was flying a crew colored one. I was wondering aloud before the air first race who I would crash into with Dan not involved. The answer was apparently everybody
  14. Plane races are the bane of my existence at this point. I could see the big crash at the bridge coming, but there wasn't a damn thing I could do about it. Had planes directly above and below me, and couldn't turn left or right because of the path of the course. It got comical after the respawn. Lost my right wing on the second try, and lost the left on the third. Fourth pass I had the tail on fire. Fifth time was a charm. I'm amazed I finished that one. Sorry again JT about being so useless in freemode. Between my dad calling, getting a delivery at the house, and my wife needing help with her back, I was far from all there. If I'd known that would all hit at once I'd have just bailed with everybody else.
  15. I think the archenemy/victim stuff is for a single session, like one DM or one freemode run. Otherwise, I think most 360 folks would top my current archenemy and victim. Dan and I shoot each other at least half a dozen times in every DM we do.
  16. Good Lord, but those leaderboards are goofy. And Disturbing. Somebody called wraith4912.1 has purchased 10000 dances, and visited the ladies of the evening 3100 times. This is one case where I really hope the guy hacked his save file.
  17. somebody named mikefizz has apparently killed me 53 times, and I've taken out Ninjadud200 45 times. I feel good about taking out a dud of a ninja, but I'm gonna have to hunt down this mikefizz asshole. Funny thing - I have no memory of either of these people. I'm guessing they're both from that one stupid deathmatch I did that was a bunch of people in a tiny, enclosed space with no cover and no kill limit.
  18. Pretty sure Phil will never get into a car with me after my crash during Titan of a Job. I hit a lamp post and we did 5 or 6 somersaults in my Tursimo before we finally came to a stop, while Dan was cheering us on to hit one more flip, right into the approaching gas station. Next time I'm guessing his response will be "No thanks, I'll walk."
  19. A lot of people like me bought almost everything while the free money was around. I've bought a few expensive things since, such as the Turismo, but there hasn't been much to spend money on. That's why I've wound up with a bunch.
  20. Wonder what the interest rates are at the First National Bank of Stout. I can do 20% down, so I don't wanna pay subprime rates. They could add a loanshark element to the game. Pay me tomorrow, or expect a visit from melraz.
  21. Now you need to start using pistols in all-weapons-allowed deathmatches just to work on your tint for the pistol. C'mon, you know you wanna. Can you get tints for the crowbar? Golf club? I've got about 150 unarmed kills. Maybe I can get blue fists of doom.
  22. Phil beat me to it on those stupid DMs. I played way too much Friday and Saturday. I'm up about $2.2M, and 10-12 levels, from where I was on Thursday. Got more than $6M sitting in the bank waiting for the update. I kept spawning into freemode out of missions, mainly Rooftop Rumble, with occasionally comical results. So many people were spamming Rooftop Rumble that there were supers literally stacked on top of each other outside Martin's place. I took a few pictures of that. Also, every guy I shot dropped $500. I thought that was nice of them. Got 2 more car bomb kills, so I'm up to gold on that now, and I finally unlocked LSPD tint for the heavy sniper. I've got that on every gun I'm even remotely likely to use, so I think I'm done with tints.
  23. Played a fair amount off and on last night between breaks for work and other stuff, mostly freemode or DMs with randoms. Almost got the LSPD tint unlocked for the heavy sniper, which will be the last weapon I ever unlock that tint. Got a bunch of cheap kills taking guys out that were involved in firefights with others. I also finally played Paintball in a match with weapons locked. That was bad, even with it set to teams. I actually like that match if I have all my weapons and it's teams. Got past halfway on the Trust No One tattoo after shooting two different guys out of Simeon cars and blowing up either them or somebody else who came for the car with the ignition bomb. Watching them jump into the car while I'm respawning is one of the funniest things in the game. First guy had a 7K bounty on him, so I actually made a profit on that one. mis and I ran into the worst little bitch in the game in freemode. There was a level 300+ guy with a 9K bounty up by the movie theater. I was thinking tanks from where he was, but we went for a look anyway. He turned out to be in a white limo. mis "put a sticky bomb on that thing" * sound of explosion * me "just did" The guy did manage a kill on me before I could get out of there, due to a lucky spawn. Next thing I know, he rolled up in a tank, after we had all of one kill on him. Cops and mis made short work of the tank, and the guy immediately slapped it in passive mode. Then he called a mugger and mercs on me, and put a bounty on mis. I took out the mercs and mugger, but the cops got me a couple times, while mis managed to run the guy over. Then I somehow got the guy in the car with me, and we killed him a few more times each before he went into passive again. I've never seen anybody throw that much of a fit over being killed one time, especially with a bounty on them. The only thing he didn't do was the call Lester to go invisible deal. It was like the guy had never been killed in freemode before.
  24. I was wondering why you popped up in my freemode session for a couple minutes in the middle of the night.
  25. I figure that's just the DVDR crew bonus - a token of respect from the LSPD. Up late checking on sims for work, so I was on at midnight PST. At that point, everything suddenly started paying double money, and I think extra RP as well. Hadn't heard anything about that beforehand - was this some sort of suprise deal? Tried out Rooftop Rumble real quick just to check - got 37500 for about five minutes work.
