Last night's crazy shit with the DVDR Iron Legion made me remember another song to put on Jstout's unofficial GTA Online soundtrack.
So far the track listings:
Hand On The Pump - Cypress Hill
Tank - LSD
When The Man Comes Around - Johnny Cash
Black Roses by the Matadors always comes back to me, at least the 2nd to last verse:
well I'd like to say
I'm sorry for all my cruelty
and I'd like to say
I regret all my past
but the truth is
oh baby I'd be lyin'
and I'm gonna live out everyday
like it's my last
kiss my ass

If there's a reward for least valuable player in a team DM win, I deserved it for misanthrope's created match. Kills - 0. Deaths - 0. Shots fired - 0. Number of enemy spotted - 0. I would've been just as helpful taking a ride on the ferris wheel, and I still got paid. Fortunately my teammates had their shit together.
I still want to know how Chris (at least I think it was Chris) survived 2 heavy sniper rounds in a row before somebody else got him. I know I only winged him, but that was damned frustrating.

Although I'm kind of happy it happened, if only because we have yet another inside joke. Anytime one of us is sucking during a mission or race or whatever, we now know that all we need to do is yell "BUT I ONLY HAVE ONE HAND!!!"This. It was worth it for the endless bad jokes that will ensue.
From here on out, I will blame all of my losses in races and deathmatches on me only having one working hand.
I HAD SURGERY, DAMMIT~!
I might start using it before every race, considering how well I usually do against y'all. And I'm sure y'all can appreciate how hard it is for me to parachute with one hand.

Guys, GTA is hard when you've only got one arm, and everybody is picking on you.
melraz, Stout, and I ran into one of the dumbest players ever to disgrace GTA last night after I got back on. It was the three of us and one other guy in a server when a Simeon motorcycle popped up. I grabbed it, applied the traditional ignition bomb surprise, and drove it right over to the guy. We'd been killing him up and down the map, and I was absolutely certain he wouldn't fall for my little surprise. I was wrong though. He hopped right on the bike after shooting me.

A subgenre of "sports hot" "nerd hot" etc?
Nerd hot means hearbeat and functioning brain activity, man. DARPA guys are just happy to have contact with the opposite sex during working hours in a professional setting.
A date couuld be overwhelming.
You don't want to see DARPA guys who have been served by a cute waitress figure out how much of a tip to leave. The computation schema becomes mindboggling.
Presumably they didn't do anything except study in college, and there ain't usually exactly a bunch of hot women in engineering/physics classes. For some reason, there weren't a lot of sorority girls in my Fourier Optics or Linear Transform Theory classes.

I can't remember whether we were trying to get a special crate for J.T. or someone else, I forget who, in a session once. There were probably at least four or five of us in the session and we STILL didn't get the special crate. I was pissed. To be fair, though, the whole map was ready to pounce on that crate. I think there were about five or six people in helicopters just hovering waiting for the location to pop up.
Kelvin, any time you wanna drive a fully modded Zentorno, lemme know. You can drive it for five minutes before jumping it into the water like RUkered. I'd really like to do a race sometime that's one-on-one, Zentorno vs. Entity, no contact, no traffic, on a decently fast, straight race course like The Commute. Could even stipulate that no one gets the boost at the start.
Melraz reminded me I gotta get a new headset.
That was me. I screwed it up by getting taken out by the Merryweather guys. Then the guy that grabbed it from us took out you, me and melraz while we were in a helicopter going after him.
-
3 Supers is definitely a waste. That's why I have 7 - Zentorno, Entity, Adder, Bullett, Infernus, Turismo & Vacca.
Bought the Coquette and Banshee topless variants this weekend to go with my Carbinohoweverthehellyouspellit
Those are all sitting in my garage up by the golf course.
My lower end stuff is downtown
Bati, Sanchez, Sandking, Mesa, Blista, Tailgater, Sultan, Sentinel, Baller and Gauntlet

That sounds about like the way I got my special crate with the t-shirt. I was in a public and saw a warning about a special crate incoming. Had to drop off to take care of something. Came back online about 5 minutes later in a private room, and the special crate was sitting up by Madrazo's farm.
I've never seen a regular crate outside of a public.

Then those guys clued me in that the topless Coquette was now available. Here's the worst part of it all. I hadn't bothered to go back and put 100% armor on most of my vehicles since I unlocked it. So I decided to take some time and make sure everything I owned was fully upgraded. I had literally just driven out of LSC, spending about 100 grand on my Coquette when the guy mentioned the topless version was available. *sigh* So I drove it back in, sold it, ordered the convertible, and modded it up. Still, I think after I earned money doing Rooftop Rumble so much, I'm only down about a half million. I'm not up in the penthouse with all the hookers and cocaine like Stout, but I still have a couple mil to my name.
I bought a topless Coquettte over the weekend as well. It amused me that one of the available mods turns the topless version you spent extra money on into a regular Coquette.
-
Yeah, the option to turn off armor visibility is there where you said. It just doesn't work, at least for me.
I'm the same way about phone calls too. I almost never actually know who they are.
-
My internet was flaky as hell this weekend, so I couldn't get on for more than 15 minutes at a time after Friday. I did get on long enough to notice a few things
- I can't hide my armor any more, even if I select the option. Thus, I can't taunt JT with my sweet, sweet Los Santos Belle T-shirt that I grabbed due to a special crate spawning in an invite only room a while back
- the release note about being able to avoid melee DMs seems to have been bullshit. I can't find any way to do enable that, and from looking on online it seems that a lot of other people have tried and failed as well
- It looks like they did something to those $1000000 + RP DMs so that either they're blocked or they just don't come up nearly as often. Used to be those would show up at least half the time when you picked a random DM. I haven't seen them show up once since the update. It's a nice change.

After you left, me and Robert continued our war on the streets until way too late. This one dork (done forgot his name) kept trying to shoot us with a minigun, but all that did was give away his position for a good ol' sniping. Robert killed him and some other goof with Simeon car ignition bombs. Robert came out of the pay and spray the second time with a dot right on top of him. Robert got killed, but the rest was pretty predictable.
I don't like the red dot either. Makes it harder to see who's crew.
I actually remember that one clown's name because we killed him so many times that I finally got it right - CharlieDontSerf I made myself feel old by saying "Sorry, Charlie" about a thousand times. He was level 120-something, and needed to learn that there are times when the minigun is not the best weapon for the job. Fortunately, we were there to supply the lesson. Another teaching moment supplied by the DVDR nite shift. Blasted him out of two tanks too.
The second guy on the ignition bomb was funny. I didn't think he'd go for it, because he was so slow on the uptake when I came out lf LSC.
Still disappointed that my suicide bomb attempt in a tanker truck rigged with a sticky bomb failed. And I couldn't do anything without getting a bounty put on me last night. I got at least 4 or 5, including two in a row.

Dolfan concluded that the Zentorno looks like a frog with its mouth open.
I saw one this morning that was painted a metallic midnight blue and I thought:
Only Rippa and I are old enough to get that reference.
I think stout and I may be older than y'all. I remember those, but never seen that one before. They need to come up with a T-shirt for Zentorno owners kinda like the Go Ugly Early shirts A-10 pilots wear.

Nah - they went the soft route and closed with "Would You Lay With Me (In A Field Of Stone)". Side note - sing one line of that on party chat one night and I'll bet my next paycheck Mel will finish through at least the first chorus.
I was already on verse 2 before I finished reading this. I'm a slow reader apparently. In my defense, I had a girlfriend I lived with for 2 years that only listened to three types of music. Disney soundtracks, Jimmy Buffett, and DAC. No points for guessing which one I went for.

Did Stocks and Scares with mis and stout last night. Didn't see any announcement about this one, but it's definitely different now. You've got to have some serious strategy now. JT will love it. Took us three tries to work out a successful approach, and even the third run was close to failure.
Rooftop Rumble was the only mission annouced to be buffed but Melraz and I smoked it even on Hard difficulty.
Dry Docking however kicked our asses. I approve of the increase in quality of opposition given to Merryweather. They should be much more formidable than the street gangs and renegade bikers we're used to dealing with.
There was a never ending spawn of Merryweather guys starting right at the beginning of the mission. We took out more than 60 of them on the one run we completed. They were spawning both inside and outside the building. To make it harder, the guys outside didn't just come up the alleyway beside the building. Stout tried taking cover near the door the second time, but they kept spawning behind him. The only strategy we could come up with was mis on the hacking/safe cracking, me in cover inside the building handling the random spawns inside, and Stout outside well away from the doorway and in cover behind a car. We took some damage but it finally worked. Definitely made us think about shit, which was a nice change.
Just about filled up my second garage. Got customs of Gauntlet, Sanchez, Bati 800, Sandking XL, Sentinel XS, Blista and Sultan. Thanks to Stout for finding the Sultan. All three of us got the new Zentorno supercar, and set out on a quest to make it even uglier.
I have a Bati 800RR, an Elegy RH8, a Phoenix, an Entity, a Mesa Off-Road (RIP being able to grap vehicles from missions), the new Dinka Thrust, and a Sultan.
I think that I am going to get a Picador to mod as a low rider and the Massacro and a clean Rebel will round out my garage.
If another vehicle strikes my fancy, I will probably just swap out one car for another. I don't really feel the need to get another garage.
My original garage has 7 supercars (5 bought during the free money days) in it, and one high end sports car. The second one is full with all that stuff I listed plus the Tailgater, Mesa, and my modded Baller. I've still got about $4M left for 2 more. Thinking about getting a Massacro, but I want to try it out in a few races first. Thinking about a convertible Banshee too. They're not very good cars, but I like driving them when I can steal one.
-
Is the Sanchez moddable yet?
I modded a bunch of stuff on it. I don't remember all of them but I know I did the engine and armor. I got the Livery version, just because that's what the guy I rammed into head on up by Sandy Shores was driving. I've never owned one before, so I don't know if this is different from the past.

Shit, I can't read. So happy early birthday then.

Since somebody clued me in, and he'll probably only see it if I post it here - Happy Birthday to melraz, Private Pyle, the one and only mayor of tha DVDR GTA nite shift. Hope your day is THAT DAMN GOOD man.

Had some weird shit happen in that one server we cleared. We were down to two white dots, and they were both at Trevor's airfield. We all had guns out, so nobody was in passive, but we couldn't shoot each other, even with me and one white dot standing right in front of each other shooting every weapon we had. I finally got frustrated and ran the guy over with a sandking I'd found. Then I ran his buddy over. Second guy shot an RPG right into the back of the sandking as I was running him down. Somehow the truck survived.
Oh, and the cops in this game can kiss my ass. They're hardcore with the new update.

Chicken Drifting and Simply Sanchez are really good player created bike races.
Thanks to Melraz and Jstout and genreally being all REGULATORS~! and shit, I am trying to function on maybe three hours of sleep.
Good thing I've got this stash of 5-Hour Energy, coffee, and Clif Bars at my desk.
Sorry about bailing out on y'all. I had a minor crisis happen at the house. All was well by morning fortunately. Knew I was in trouble when I got the "you're going to be ok not playing any more tonight, right?" line.
-
Melraz says that tonight's gonna be the night....that's right tonight's gonna be the night to lay the smack down on all the candy ass white dots that's roamin round our city. This is the 1 night of my 12 day vacation that the mayor is gonna be whippin ass not takin names and whippin ass that's right WHIPPIN ASS all over Los Santos, turnin into a red dot and darin every other sum bitch to come n get some. So gather up your guns boys and meet this bad assed bastard in the streets to form the best dalm group of mercenaries this town has ever seen. WE ARE THE D.V.D.R. AND WE ARE THAT DALM GOOD and for all the non believers out there we got two words for ya.
P.S. All of this is determined by if I don't pass out by 8pm.
...this guy makes me wanna blow my 'buying a new computer' budget to buy an Xbox 360 and a 2nd copy of GTA V.
It would be well worth it too. Especially around the time beer #2 hits.
Who here is able to not read that in Mel's promo voice? Not me.
For added effect, immediately switch to his "I'm seeing 3 white dots" voice for that last line.
Yeah, I lost that ability a long time ago. Makes his posts that much better.

I'll probably be on a bit later than normal. stupid bugs.

I was just saying a break from them was good. It may be related to the apparent rise in civility of the crew while racing, including letting people pass.
For a while, it seemed like the only slipstreaming i was getting was around corners, which is not prudent.
I was pleased though the number of times i killed Dan while was playing spoiler on the race track gta. It seems like we may have confirmed you cannot kill a player outside his vehicle using the rockets.
I'm pretty sure somebody succeeded in killing a person on foot with rockets in LS Forum a while back. Could be wrong though. The first time I tried to get Dan last night, the damn rockets flew right past him, on on either side.

I've said it before, but that goes through my head all the time in this game. One of my favorite things about Saint's Row is that they named the sniper rifle the McManus.
