It just kinda depends on the night. Usually most people are off by 10 eastern. There's also the periodic, late night runs where a few of us find ourselves on at the same time and run roughshod over freemode. That's gone on so long sometimes that the damned sun has come up. Late night murdering keeps you young at heart.

I got to where you had to free Lance from the drug cartel or whatever they were, and I died every time I would have to make an attack. I'm replaying VC again and there are several missions that induce rage quitting because the cops are kamikaze happy bastards and apparently every other driver on the streets is coked out. The Driver race in particular is probably the single most frustrating mission in any GTA game because it really is dumb luck depending on traffic if you can beat Hillary,. It will either take you one try or about 30, depeding on which racer some random car decides to hit. I only ever managed to beat Hillary legit one time. Usually I just stuck a stock car near the start line, and jumped into it as soon as the race started.

Read some of online stuff for that crew during lunch and it's pretty much hilarious. It's like they have no concept of self awareness. All their different, individual crews seem to have LORD as the title, rather than REAP. I've run into a few REAP guys, and most of them were pretty good. Never seen a LORD around that I've noticed. The list of rules, procedures, etc is insane. Our rules boil down to kill all dots, but especially the ones that have annoyed us for whatever reason.

I have a nasty habit of accidentally picking up the grenade launcher when I mean to grab the assault SG, and then not realizing it till I've fired a grenade. I've failed at least one mission that way. I only keep one weapon of each type, except thrown stuff, heavy weapons, and assault rifles. The only problem weapon is the Gusenberg, which I still can't drop. That's why I didn't buy any of the weapons from the latest update.

I'm definitely headed in the wrong way moneywise. I still got my $2k bonus in the middle of all that carnage last night. I really don't think you can blow up enough cars to get a bad sport rating.

Stout, could you hear me after melraz left? I couldn't hear anything from you. Another expensive night in freemode. By the time I'd been in the game 15 minutes I'd already splashed out on an ignition bomb for the high priority vehicle and blown up 5 personal vehicles - 3 Zentornos and 2 Adders. Added a bunch more later on, including more Zentornos and Adders, at least two Entities, a Turismo, and several motorcycles. Finished the night off with a pair of muscle cars back to back. Ended up down 200K, and that was with earning about 75K for the night from various sources. I gotta cut down. The glitcher (Kroomp or something like that) in the sky was terribly carried away with his own cleverness. At least until Herby and I sniped him. Then we were in the middle of trying the sticky bomb trick on a tank when glitch boy tried to run me down with his Zentorno. I went poorly for him.

The property thing makes me want to have my female character join up, and then turn heel kill every damned one of them when they aren't paying attention. I could probably sell it too. My character certainly looks like she has a meth addiction. Perfect old lady material. I don't think I've ever run into these clowns though. I think I'd remember it. I'd be thinking "why do all the numbnuts keep coming up to me on choppers and getting shot in the face?" Probably spend 95% of their time in crew only rooms to avoid getting shot to pieces.

I haven't touched single player in weeks, and I'm about where Stout is, except I've done the main heist. Haven't done any of the assassinations other than the first, and haven't bought a single business. I've found one murder clue accidentally while hiding from the cops, and have seen nothing about UFOs yet. I honestly don't know if I'll ever finish the rest of the game. If I'm gonna play GTA, I'd rather play with y'all than do single player. I'll probably get an xbone for either Destiny or Inquisition, and I'm not sure I'll ever come back to the single player after that.

No GTA for me yesterday. Stupid construction crew working behind us cleared a bunch of trees and left em piled against my back fence. As much as I appreciated them creating a giant fire hazard and rat/snake habitat right against my fence I decided it had to go. Especially after I caught that coral snake in the front yard. So I spent my evening hauling it all away from my house and depositing it right in the middle of their construction area. Wound up falling asleep early for once afterwards. I'll hopefully be on some early, as well as the night shift stuff if anybody else is on.

If I see a purple car, I know it's Phil, and I also know that I'm about to crash into it. At least it seemed that way last night.

esse jesse kept sending me taunting me messages last night. I'm not sure he understood the way that shit works, because I was up about 45-10 on him when he finally quit. My rep has probably dropped again as well, but I haven't been able to check yet. It was at 42% after Al Copeland's bitch fit Friday. K/D went up .02 between last Friday and last night. That's with me closing in on 11K kills, so I guess I had pretty good nights overall both times. Free mode is expensive. I'm down $1.5 million in the last week. Half of that is the monster truck, but 750K is a lot of money to spend on sticky bombs, RPGs, ammunition, and blown up personal vehicles.

Other weird thing that happened was before we all joined up. I was sitting on top of one of the skyscrapers downtown looking for somebody to snipe when a car zoomed past me. I couldn't get a shot off, but I kept my sniper sights on him anyway. Guy was headed south towards the airport fast when his car disappeared from my sights. The weird thing was that his body stayed visible, traveling down the highway in a seated position towards the airport. I missed a few shots before hitting a one in a million lucky shot into the back of his head as he flew launched off of a stunt jump. There's no way I should've been able to see him from downtown. He was almost to the airport when I hit him.

Oh, I knew about the medical bills. I would've understood if I ran him down with a car, or use the water hose. What I couldn't figure out is why I was paying them for a guy I was shooting.

We had more wackiness last night that I forgot to mention. Stout and I got into a gunfight with a guy what was in passive. We got a few kills on him and every time we shot him it would charge us a couple hundred bucks. Weird.

That's why I didn't play Saturday-Monday. I was still recovering from Friday night's fiasco. This must've happened after I passed out for the night. I still feel kinda wrecked and the coma inducing meetings with the higher ups isn't helping. I will probably sneek a nap at the dealership while I am waiting on the oil change for my car this afternoon. Yeah, that was after you logged off. If you'd been online another 20 minutes or so, you'd have been around for melraz joining, which would probably have meant even less sleep.

I found a way up there, attempted a melee attacked and got dropkicked off the roof with my dead body splashing down in the pool for my troubles. I had two serious contenders for kill of the night, and that was one of them. I was cheering for you to make it to the pool. The other was a sticky bomb kill on somebody in a Zentorno. I was driving under the mall in a regular Dubsta when I saw somebody right ahead of me. We hit head on about a block away from the mall just as I managed to throw a sticky bomb onto his car. I got launched straight up by the impact and started turning somersaults. Triggered the sticky near the apex, and was far enough away to not be killed by splash damage. Landed right on top of his now destroyed Zentorno after doing two or three flips. Of course, somebody else got me with an RPG about two seconds later, but it was worth it. Mis got to watch the whole thing through his sniper sights.

I've avoided getting the new weapons mainly because I don't want another bunch of crappy guns cluttering up my weapon selections. I hate accidentally selecting shitty guns in freemode or DMs.

We may be fighting over who gets to be the suicide bomber. The game has just gone from "Crap, tank incoming" to "Tank incoming. C'mon guys, let me get this one."

Damnit don't give him any ideas. I know the somebody is either gonna be me or Stout.

Crap, I didn't read AxB's post closely enough, and didn't even think about putting the bomber in passive. I'm hoping to see some tanks next time we're in freemode. We've gotta try that out. AxB deserves the GTA equivalent of the Nobel Peace Prize for devising a fun and effective way to neuter tanks.

Harsh but fair. It really was bad.

Yeah, I checked and it looks like I got the same thing. I've only ever created one job, which was a race. I'm the only person that's played it, and I gave it the Big Fresh thumbs down.

The only special crate I've ever managed to get was the one that spawned in an invite only room a while back (I was in a public when I got a warning like crate drop in 10 hours or some such, got kicked out, and when I joined an invite only room got a message that the crate drop had happened.) Every special crate drop in a public that I've ever seen has caused a mad rush for the thing. I came very close to getting that one Friday night that resulted in the 5 hour long firefight.

There were several missions that had to have been designed just to get to that point. And God bless them for it. The definitely designed part of the game to force you to driving around with Pierce singing at the top of your lungs, which was the other thing I thought you could've been talking about.

I hated the game more than it deserved. Mainly because I was stuck being Edmund Exley, and I wanted to be Bud White. That and the fact that everythng going on in LA involves this small group of about 10 guys. About 1/3 of the way in I started playing it like it was GTA, and started running over every pedestrian I could find.
