link goes to the same shit as ive said.

Finished off the assassin missions last night...



I think all that remains of the singleplayer game is the tedious collecting of flying rats and jumps, and to do another dozen or so cars-by-text (which wouldn't be so bad except you have to wait an ingame day to get the next request, snore!)

Played a bit of multiplayer the other night. The 'Join the Midnight Club' achievement is a bastard - it says you can't damage your car too much. I barely scratched mine but still utterly trounced my opponent, and still didn't get it. Reportedly the record you need to beat for 'Hangman's Noose' to work towards the 'Fly the co-op' achievement is a ridiculous two and a half minutes!

Jolly amusing adventures yesterday, chaps.

I'm not entire sure how it happened, but first Dimrill and then Lave managed to get blimmin' miles out to sea (possibly by falling out of a boat or helicopter) and Mr Dave located the world's slowest boat to go and rescue them as it's not possible to kill yourself while swimming it would seem.

Glyndwr and I were off trying to jump over the West River in cars and bikes, and so I commandeered a helicopter to go and see if we could assist (as from what we were hearing, Dave was struggling to rescue the mischievous Dimrill). We arrived to find Dimrill and Dave had gone to locate ANOTHER boat and Lave was absolutely miles out, swimming slowly back towards the city. I attempted to scoop him up with the helicopter, but was prevented from doing so (I'm not sure if it's even possible to jump and grab hold of one like you can a boat, or just hit Y and have your character do it) and moments later Dave and Dimrill arrived in a speedboat and collected Lave.

We then tried to see if it was possible to jump into a helicopter from a boat. This didn't seem to be working either, so at someone's suggestion I landed on top of the boat. The added weight started pushing it under, so I took off again. Dimrill yelled 'floor it!' to Dave and so on a whim I wrenched the control stick around and managed to chop Lave into bits with my main rotor as the boat pulled away.

Wheee!

Bah, did I miss this due to beddage? I booted this up the other day, did about three Brucie races and still didn't get the achievement.

No, this was in the afternoon about half past three. I'd welcome Dave/Dimrill to tell us how they came to be out at sea...

We also did a lot of jumping over the river, and Glyndwr drove a car and a bike off a ledge and into the rotors of my helicopter.

Part-timers.

Glyndvdrw+ was off ill, I had booked the day off as I had to use all my annual leave up before the end of the year.

You don't need to justify yourself to me.

Baby Jesus, however...

I still need to try going over that jump with someone on the back of my bike if anyone is interested...

What jump? Can you get someone on the back of your bike, then?

I'd be up for this.

Yeah... if you haven't done all the stunt jumps yet I'd be happy to show you a few of the trickier ones. You can indeed share a vehicle with multiple other players... I had Gllawen and Lave in my helicopter last night, and you could in theory use one of the city buses to carry a LOT of other players.

The jump in question takes you over the West River from Aldernery to Algonquin. I think it's the longest jump in the game... though the one off the Broker Bridge (through that archway in Chinatown) must be close.

I'll be on from about 3 today probably...

I can be home by 15:40 as I've taken the car into work today.

That was awesome, as you hit it just perfectly. I don't think you touched the boat at all, and you missed Dave and Dimrill (sat down) -- you just neatly decapitated Lave.

Didn't Dimrill pretend that his boat was broken, provoking Mr Dave to take pity and spend twenty minutes hauling out to him in some slow assed yacht thing, only for Dimrill to say "haha, only joking" and get into his fully functional speedboat?

:DD

Aye, and I've gone from the high of being a Doctor to the low of being unemployed, so I was around in the middle of the day. Stinking of beer of and feeling hung over to shit.

Looking up to see a copter about an inch from my face before being flung miles was amazing.

I took a much faster boat to rescue them, but they thought I was behaving untoward. WHAT A CROCK!

The conspiracy thickens! I think the whole 'getting into a helicopter' thing needs further investigation.

Ok, sequence of events : While I was busy trying to drop my body out aof a helicopter to hit you all while you were doing Stunt jumps, Dimrill took his boat to the edge of the world and started shooting at it, ran out of ammo, and asked me to come and rescue him.
I ran to the sea, and took the only boat I could find, which was slow

After I'd been heading out to sea for 10 or so minutes, Lave decided to follow in a much faster boat, and we both reached Dimrill at about the same time.

I told Dimrill that in no uncertain terms, he was getting into my boat, as I'd spent such a long time rescueing him.

I drove off and Dimrill went flying off my boat.

I picked up Dimrill again, and he spent the next while warping around on my boat.

Lave then proceeded to start ramming my boat, I warned him that if he broke my boat, I wasn't picking him up.

Sure enough, he ended up capsising his boat, and we left him in the middle of the ocean, off the map.

Me and Dimrill make it to happiness island and pick up a mich faster boat to go and rescue him.

At about this point, the Gaywood and Perkies arrive in a helicopter, and try to fish him out of the water.

They can't, our boat arrives, picks him up. I ask Dimrill to floor it, so lauchning Lave off the back of the boat. At the same time, Perkies removes Laves head with his helicopter and capsises our boat which fortunately does a full 360, leaving us to get back to land.

Between that and the UTIII Victory Bumming, it was a good day for comedy moments.

I almost popped a lung laughing at that.

Dam my NAPS. Whatever they are. Thanks for the short lived fun though.

How to open your NAT.

nice one, thanks.

I have a Zxcel 660HW T1v2. WOuld this be any different, these numbers?

Sorry I couldnt join, My nephew was round so it was the usual team fortress and rockband thing.
He also reckons Dimrill's avatar is Stone Cole Steve Austin.

How come I never noticed this before?



Count the fingers! I will never look at that picture in the same way again.

Hahaha! I'm checking my box when I get home (not a euphemism).

It's true, also on the loading screens there's a dodgy crate as I remember Dimrill pointing it out.

That's the image they used all over the shop too. Silly rockstar

Who IS she anyway? She's not the actual game!

DLC Trailer includes Dead Embryonic Cells by Sepultura

I'm not familiar with that song. Does that mean the DLC portion of the game is set back in the early 90s when Sepultura were good?

One of the many reasons why you suck balls.

Ah, it's on Arise. I don't have that one.

YOU SUCK BALLS!

Only your ginger clackers pass my lips, darling.

That gamercard builder thing is bost,too. won't let me put in my gamerscore or grab any images from my recently played games.

Yeah, that happened to me a few days ago. I switched from FF to IE and it worked, strangely. It was working fine in FF yesterday, though, so... *shrugs*

It must be a bit temperamental as it hasn't updated my last played games today - I played Rez and Fable II last night.

anyone want to buy a copy of GTA4?

selling because the add on pack is 1600ms points, fucks sake. I know fine well I'll probably end up buying it as well.

Rockstar have confirmed that The Lost and the Damned will cost 1,600 MS points, according to Eurogamer. They've said the content is the equivalent of one–third of the main game's story mode.

It's 'one third' the content of the main game, though. Except you'll already know the map inside out and you just get to follow a new set of waypoints, while riding the crappier bikes available.

I still want it, though.

I probably won't get it, but I'll want it.

It's a lot of money, I'm torn about it.

So about £15ish? And yeah, a third of the game in the very same setting. Bollocks to that then.

Guess MS want to get their $50million back.

GTAIV was just too thin on stuff to do... especially in the wake of San Andreas which will enthrall me for hours every time I turn it on. Simplistic darts/bowling/pool can't compare to the trains, planes, quad bikes, marathons, dancing, stunt racing, hand-to-hand fighting and car customizing that SA gave us. All that remains for me in GTAIV is the flying rats, finishing the game again in under 30 hours, and the multiplayer nonsense.

All this DLC is going to add is another set of play-once-and-then-forget missions. If it had expanded the fun stuff available in Liberty City then I'd be much more interested.

Oh yeah, GTA4, I never finished that. Much like Galaxy, I put it down and never bothered picking it up again.

Eurogamer's Hands-On has made it sound more tempting.

GTA IV was the game i looked forward to most upon buying my 360 over christmas, having owned 1-3 on the PS2.

I've played it for about 5 hours and got really bored with it and it hasn't gone back in the tray. The Multiplayer sucks cock too.

No, you are. Cops n' Crooks is one of most enjoyable multiplayer modes in any game for me.

Yeah, but the rest of it is shoite.
