They let me out a couple weeks ago. Stout and I are now on GTA's version of work release. I found a way to get even more tattoos to celebrate. Of course, the kid is due in two weeks, so I'll probably drop off the face of the earth for a while soon.
As an aside, I'd like to thank every player that's wearing the new bright red, festive gear in freemode. Stout and I were warring with some guy up near the Industrial survival last night that was wearing that shit. Towards the end, he was hiding in a bush behind a low hill trying to line up a sniper shot on one of us. He was well hidden, but I could see just enough of the top of his Santa hat to put a 50 cal through it.

We've never had Christmas bonuses at work. I've been there 12 years, my wife's been there 14, and it's never even been a consideration. Today they announced $500 for all employees out of the blue.
Also, starting today I'm on vacation till January 26. Not complaining a bit.

I was just thinking that it should start snowing soon. I got the new update and got the new rocket launcher and mines, but didn't see any other clothes, masks, etc. So I thought I'd quit out of the game and reload it to see if more stuff came up, and now the game servers are down. Not a shock.
Edit: Same message for me, Robert.
Did you get to scew around with that rocket launcher much? Not sure about it at this moment. You can only carry 10 rounds for it, too. Lotsa trips to AmmuNation.
I never did a get a chance. Should be on later, so I'll give it a shot then.

Damn game is messing with me again. Got online long enough to buy a new apartment, stick 3 Ballers in the garage, and buy the new weapons. Tried to switch over to my other character to buy her apartment and got hit with messages saying it can't access my save data. That's not exactly encouraging.
-
Also, snowball fights. I will now make it my mission to kill somebody in a monkey mask with a snowball at the first opportunity.

Glad we didn't run you off Don. I was afraid you were gonna hear us, think "why are all these drunken rednecks shouting at me", and hightail it. My 360 tag is something like FFunguli0l, by the way. Sent you a friend request.
I'm gonna be pissed off if they don't put that update on the 360. I've been bitching about no RPG with lock-on for the longest time.
Of course, the last thing my dumb ass needs is room for 20 more cars since I can buy one more apartment for each character. The terrible thing is that I know damn well I'm gonna buy the apartments, and then fill the garages with more cars I don't need.

Worrying about blowing up cars makes me play differently, no doubt.
I'll tell you what you gonna do. You gonna get a job. That's what you gonna do. You're gonna get a little job. Some job a convict can get, like scraping off trays in a cafeteria. Or cleaning out toilets. And you're gonna hold onto that job like gold. Because it is gold. Let me tell you, Jack, that is gold. You listenin' to me? And when that man walks in at the end of the day. And he comes to see how you done, you ain't gonna look in his eyes. You gonna look at the floor. Because you don't want to see that fear in his eyes when you jump up & grab his face, and slam him to the floor, and make him scream & cry for his life. So you look right at the floor, Jack. Pay attention to what I'm sayin', motherfucker! And then he's gonna look around the room - see how you done. And he's gonna say "Oh, you missed a little spot over there. Jeez, you didn't get this one here. What about this little bitty spot?" And you're gonna suck all that pain inside you, and you're gonna clean that spot. And you're gonna clean that spot. Until you get that shiny clean. And on Friday, you pick up your paycheck. And if you could do that, if you could do that, you could be president of Chase Manhattan... corporations! If you could do that.

How long do you have left? I blew up a bunch of shit while I was in there, and I was out in a little more than 2 days.
Ran into a guy last night who was somehow doing god mode in a deathmatch. I should've known something was up from the following:
- his name was banned again v2
- he was a level 15 with a K/D of 4.
-
I have to be in the right frame of mind to read them. I kinda figure that the dumber the person, the stronger their opinions. So I read the comments, or newspaper letters to the editor, or listen to call in shows with the specific goal of finding some weapons grade stupidity. Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, I'm rarely disappointed.

HELL YES!!
"Released early 2015"
DAMN IT!
All kidding aside, I'm not holding my breath for anything until we get a concrete date.
Knowing my luck they'll actually come through for once and release this in mid January. Then I'll sit here cursing everybody's free time while I'm up cleaning diapers at 4 AM.
-
Looks great. Still wondering if it comes out before my as yet unborn son is old enough to play it, though.
Hopefully it'll actually have all that shit for the 360, not just the new consoles. Saw a few new vehicles in there (Hind helicopter, Harrier, some sort of armored car), plus the motherfucking aircraft carrier. That all better make it into freemode.
-
Seems like the servers have been down tonight. I tried to channel my destructive energies into murdering people in deathmatches. Couldn't connect even once, so I just stuck to freemode killing. Tried to be a good boy and only blew up one POV.
-
That was my sentence too. It's two real world days, regardless of whether you are online or not. I think it does extend a bit for each car you blow up while you're inside though.
I think that's where all the jets have gone. I've barely seen any in freemode for a long time now, but the penitentiary was full of the damn things.
You're braver than me. I never tried accepting any of the invites when I was in there.
-
Damnit, it seems like the last update must've ramped this shit up. Sure am glad they found a way to make the game worse. I still think it's a combination - recent rep and blowed up cars.
How long before they let you out of the hole?
Be sure to watch out for the Sisters. I suggest just hanging out in your apartment and watching the madness unfold around you.

Yeah, if I keep going the way I am, I'm gonna have to start standing on a street corner with a will work for sticky bombs sign. I've gone from 13 million down to 7 just by spending my time in freemode.
I'm such a prolific sticky bomb user that I'll pretty much go through 3 or 4 stockpiles every time I'm on.

That was a much better result last night. My biggest concern was that I would get too many bad sport points from the personal vehicles I took out. Stout had the sniper and the sticky bombs working like a charm.
I have no idea what that last guy was thinking with the 1 on 1 request. It went really, really poorly for him. His buddy got back into the server and made a run-in in the middle of it, only to get chased back out in about 30 seconds.
Stout - I could barely hear anything you said all night. I'd hear nothing, then it would cut in in the middle of you saying something for a while. Still don't know whose headset was messed up. It was kinda the same vs. the wildboys. Dunno if you heard me say I was taking off after we ran the last guy off at all.
-
Stout and I took an assbeating at the end there last night. We were just demolishing people up till that point. It wasn't so much how can I kill this guy, but how do I want to do it. The three passive guys got the worst of it. I sniped two of them out of helicopters back to back, then shot the third guy out of his chopper with a pistol.
But good gravy, did it take a turn for the worse when the two wildboys rolled into town. I finished down about 20-10 to one of em, and the other had me about 15-13. It was actually worse than that though, because I started the session up like 4-1 and 10-2 on em. They were damn good. They pretty good Mary Lous and snipers, but they were deadly in those damn cars, and I don't think I've ever seen anybody better with a grenade launcher than one of em was. Actually, I've never seen anybody that good at that backup Zentorno shit either.
They could be killed, because we did it a number of times, as did other guys that got involved in the scrum. There seemed to be something weird going on, though. One of em was trying to sticky bomb me when I pulled a Mary Lou and got in close on him. He still had a sticky bomb in his hand when I started shooting him in the face from close range with my combat SG. He somehow managed to swap to a shotgun and kill me before I could finish him off. It almost seemed like we were lagging, and they were about two steps ahead of us. The only obviously cheap thing they were doing was that taking the easy way out shit. That never fails to annoy me way more than it should.

I oughta be on in an hour or two if anybody is still around

That was a Sandking that wouldn't climb a damn mountain?
The Sandking wasn't the problem. It was more that melraz was about on beer 4 that night, and being his usual, careful self. That, and the rest of us were in no shape to drive from laughing our asses off.

The car that we kept rolling down the mountain in was somebody's personal Sandking.
The Toyota stuff mainly comes from a seemingly endless running battle we had with the cops while melraz was driving one of those damn things. By the time it finally gave up the ghost there wasn't much left that you'd recognize as a car. It had 4 flat tires, everything that could come off had, and it had been squashed down to about the size of a quad bike.
It's odd that we're starting to see more people out on work release now. Hope the Sisters aren't gonna get parole anytime soon. Makes me wonder if they've started to ramp up the number of people they put in the hole.

My lil toyota can hang with the adders.
Before or after you crash into everything on the map, twice?

I stick with my Blista Compact. Hell, I use it a lot if I've got a car out in freemode. It handles fairly well and is a small target for somebody trying to sticky bomb me.
I think I may have been run over with one of those damned Pantos at one time or another. I know I've certainly blown up my share of em.
-
That wasn't even the only personal vehicle I blew up accidentally. I was trying to get the guy with a sticky bomb, and forgot I still had one on his car. Same thing happened earlier after I shotgunned two guys off motorcycles then tried to get one on his respawn after he hid behind a wall.

The big 12 isn't really full of huge stadiums anyway, outside of Texas, and to a lesser extent, OU. Baylor's new stadium actually reduced their capacity, and the old one wasn't exactly huge.
If there is any expansion, I'd say Dewar's list is a pretty good bet. I might add Central Florida as well.
The really interesting thing to me would be how they would split the divisions. I'm guessing they'd have to do something where they put OU and Texas in separate divisions, but keep them as a rivalry game. Like how the SEC does it with real, or invented, rivalries that get played every year. That game is the league's only real money game, so they've got to keep it no matter what.

Can't believe you didn't like my flying. I was kinda sad when the engine finally cut out on that buzzard. I'm pretty sure there must've been something in LS that I hadn't flown us into yet. The sad thing was that they were in an orange superbird, so it's not like they were a small, or subtle, target.
