    The timing of Trevor's dealing with
    Floyd and Debra seemed pretty purposeful; by the time that come up I had started to see Trevor as a happy go lucky funster with some personality quirks. That whole scenario with them branishing weapons and Trevor's leaving the apartment afterwards quickly made it apparent what Trevor really is, and what he is capable of, disabusing me of my previous humourous take on him.

    So I'm at the end of it all, and knocking out sidequests. What properties have missions associated? I show Franklin as having one mission open, but have no idea what it is - there's no map markers.

    You should be able to find what you're missing with The Social Club checklist.

    I've spent the last hour or two just swimming under water. Had Franklin and Trevor both underwater and kept exploring.found the plane and a shipwreck which had no treasure. Just body armour and what looked to be like grenades. I really hope they don't patch out the swimming transition glitch thing.

    So, is this GTA Online deal just the same kind of multiplayer as GTA IV? 16 person, various game modes...?

    I also liked the one where you cut to Trevor and he's in Wade's cousin's bed spooning him.

    He has the best transitions.
    I hated that one. It's clearly supposed to imply that Trevor had raped Floyd. Everything about that plotline made me uneasy, I'm pretty much just pretending it doesn't exist.

    I didn't get that at all.
    They were just cuddling. It'd still make me uncomfortable enough to cry in the morning if Trevor snuck into the room in the middle of the night to cuddle with me. That's how I took it.
    If Trevor wanted some lovin', Mr. Raspberry Jam was right there.
    Once you've gone plushy, you never go... mushy? I don't know, I'm bad at this.

    In Trevors defense, I know someone sort of similar to Trevor... kind of similar to Trevor. And I've seen that kind of "friend"ship happen and it was "just friends spooning" to freak them out. Which is kind of just as bad.

    The OP has a section about the Multiplayer.

    It includes this video, which is just fun to watch.

    I understand why people get frustrated by launch day server woes, but from what I understand it is financial suicide to have servers ready for the first 24 hours or so after launch, considering they will not be needed at all after that period.

    Diablo 3 and SimCity shouldn't even be considered here because they shouldn't have had the online requirements in the first place :P

    Most of the online stuff that's already in the game was borked to hell and back at launch, and apparently it was mostly caused by that ifruit app.

    Yeah, the actual launch of Online will be... interesting.

    Didn't realize you also needed to confirm once you're added to the crew, did that now! I know Tuesday is going to be nuts but it's still exciting to realize it's coming up.

    I like the staggered approach between single and multi. I finished the game last night and wound up with 1.67 billion when all is said done. So pumped to blow it all on random crap and cause some mayhem; should tide me over until multi is working.

    Sucker punching people is so dang satisfying!

    I wanted to buy Franklin a nice dapper suit. So I drive out to Posonby's or whatever, and park at the curb. As he's walking in, this older asian guy on the sidewalk stops and said something insulting. I had Frank stop and just stare at him. He kept going on and on, and finally said "Ok, you in trouble now!" and right at that moment

    *BLAP!*

    I had Frank punch him right in the mouth. He spun around and his little boonie hat with flying off, and he did a faceplant right infront of the store. Then Franklin calmly walks into the store. I had him watch out the window as the EMTs showed up. They could not revive him...

    yeah I went on a parkour adventure as franklin around his neighborhood, lots more ladders to get onto buildings. I also found one hospital that almost always has 2 helicopters on top to steal. I belive it's Los Santos General Hospital, has green signage.

    really love the slide move they do across car hoods/knee-high obstacles. really hate when it fails to trigger and they slowly amble up onto the car.

    So I just wrapped up the controversial scene everyone's been talking about...
    I understand how it can make some people uncomfortable, but I didn't have a lot of issues with the actual actions of the scene.

    That said, I don't think there was anything satirical about it. It wasn't meant to be satire, it was an obvious and direct political statement. This is a somewhat new turn for GTA games (I guess IV really started it). They've always had political messages, but normally they are wrapped up in satire. There was nothing satirical about this. This was just a hard hitting political message. Trevor's after dialog, where he talks about torture being for the torturer and how it extracts no reliable information, really drives the point home.

    The Houser's were obviously saying "American's justifying torture is reprehensible, especially in the name of terrorism, because it rarely actually leads to getting 'the guy' and is really just about some sick freak getting his rocks off". If anything made me uncomfortable, that was it. Not because I disagree with the Houser's, but because the entire scene made me face a grim truth about my country and it's methods of para-military operation and intelligence extraction.

    I think this is exactly the response they were trying to evoke, and why having you participate in a visceral way mattered. If it had just been "press X to yank the guys tooth", I don't think it would have hit as hard as having to actually sit there and twist the stick. Overall I think it's a brilliant scene, as unsettling as it is, and I think it should make any sane balanced American question what we allow our government to do in our name.

    weird, I could just be lucky. I also seem to find the same armored truck parked in a gas station near the "fame or shame" tryouts arena. I have it down to a science, last time I slo-mo rode up on then as franklin and merced the two guards before they knew what hit 'em.

    I didn't really have any issues with the scene either, except
    I ended up using that giant wrench twice. The second time, Trevor just clobbers the poor guy in the nuts with it. It left a blood stain and everything... fuck, that had to hurt so bad.

    I actually said out loud to myself "Man... I wish I hadn't done that."
