    This sixteen person limit is really starting to fuck with my enjoyment. Local H Jay, Tasty Spoon Veev ... Something, and myself had some pretty rocking times. Oh, and Jay is bad at golf. That's how you can beat him.

    Fun times with Carb0n and mbannick tonight on PS3. I think it was Vig that was there for a brief period of time when the four of us basically were wandering around, team murdering anyone who shot at one of us (i.e. me). Fun times hunting bounties as well. Was also nice three-manning that Processed Survival game.

    Thanks all, fun night.

    Fun racing on 360 tonight guys! It's amazing how fast the money rolls in even when doing 3-4 man races. By the time I put it up after maybe 3-4 hours I'd made almost 180k. Far easier and much more fun than running missions, especially with the even further gimping of payouts.

    I can't decide if I like motorcycles or compact cars in the rain better. There are a couple of shortish twisty races that are ridiculous and fun as hell when everyone is in tiny underpowered fwd cars and sliding all over the place. Also that tunnel race on motorcycles can go stuff itself. There are too many bits sticking out on the edges to splat yourself on for it to be any fun.

    Sorry @marikir and @mbannick for shooting you during that challenge deathmatch. The fact that other people are around sort of defeats the purpose of one-on-one. Especially since you show up red in the world like an enemy. Not going to bother from now on if I'm grouped up.

    Also that survival in the oil fields was stupid easy, easier in a lot of ways than even Boneyard. Not that I'm complaining about having another $20k in my bank account ;-)

    Interesting. I wonder if this has the same streaming issues as the PS3 digital version.
    You download disc two, launch that, then it grabs the contents of disc one.

    If anyone wants to do any races in the next few hours let me know, playing with pubbies is boring and frutrating. Drove a dump truck all the way to the city then got one shot by an attack helicopter. :(

    Challenge deathmatch when there's a guy in a tank running around is pretty neat.

    I bought a Vapid Bullet, and my complaint is similar. Now to save up money for all of the upgrades..

    Also, sorry Arlinton and cleveralias for ignoring your party requests. Only had enough time to jump in and do some quick car sales and an armored truck.

    Sticky. In single player I was able to use a shotgun as well.

    Edit; They're well worth it too. I haven't gotten less than 8k from one.

    for simplicity sake we should just split them I think. WANG will become the 360 crew and y'all PS3 folk can make another penis jokecrew. also it seems like there's a decent amount of people who want the crew color changed to orange, I think we could do that as well.

    also, if @carbonfire would consider removing the background to the crew image, it might look better in-game on cars and clothing.

    I still think keeping one Crew is best and what was intended. I can't believe that we will stay at 300 for long. New game releases, generic gaming malaise will remove some from being active.

    The only thing I can think of is to make a 2nd crew for prospective members and periodically prune out inactives or defaulting members and bring in actives from the second.

    As to how to prune, perhaps doing it by rank? If you are less than rank 2? Or 5? Something really small to start out with. Or playing time? Less than an hour equals gone.

    Eventually the PC release will bring in even more as well. Splitting the Crew into platform specific Crews will only weaken the whole and disrupt the purpose of the cross platform Crew.

    I'd have to scale it so the arm and his antennae fit within the box (looks weird cut off without a background), but it's doable. I'll have a go at it later.

    I agree that pruning is pointless. Battlefield 4 this month will probably cut regular players to a fraction of what we have. I know I have been on vacation and have not been able to play thanks to the "wireless" internet at my hotel. I think they have the router hooked into a dial up modem.

    well there are huge groups for sites like IGN, gamestop, and others that have groups with thousands of members. I dunno if there's an official Penny Arcade channel we could go through to maybe become an 'official' group. maybe e-mail khoo or something.

    I'm almost finished with the Main Story and one huge thing I'm noticing while playing through
    They don't really want you to have a whole lot of money, maybe to make that final score more "rewarding", or.. they expect you to really work the stock market, which really then the Lester missions shouldn't even show up until after the story is done.. Yes I didn't know about the whole stock market thing with Lesters missions or and still don't have a good understanding of how to even use the stock market to make a profit from what little funds I do have (about 500k at the least on each character right now after the FIB took a good 6mil out of my last heist reward for that twin rotor.

    IF they do heists right , I think interest will increase 10 fold (at least for me).

    What is the benefit to having people from different consoles in the same crew? We can't play with each other. We can't communicate with each other. Any get together announcment has to be preceded with which console it's on. So what is the crew benefit, and what is the individual player benefit for having a PS3 player and a 360 player in the same crew? About the only thing I can remotely think of is the crew level. But if there are so many people wanting to join, even splitting it up to 150 members per is still a lot of people contributing.

    So if there's zero benefit, then you might as well split by console.
