I hardly understand a word he says but who cares. We went to play darts and ended up holding off the bar against waves of police that streamed in until we were both hospitalized.
The greatest part about Little Jacob is when you first meet Badman. The look Nico gives Jacob is just priceless... me and three friends doubled over laughing the first time we saw it.

Ahahahaha, that part is great. He talks for about a minute and then Niko looks at Jacob "... what?"
41 Pigeons to go. I just wrapped up my 2nd visit with Eddie.
That guy had to die. What a weird ass.
I believe he was the serial killer they talk about on the radio. After you kill him, you should hear a bulletin saying he was found dead. It's pretty cool. Also, if you go to the random characters map on www.whattheydonotwantyoutoknow.com, you'll see that Eddie's left a message.
I finally got Chain Reaction. Thanks a lot, Baker. I'd been stuck on that for a week and my ultra-mild OCD prohibited me from moving on to the next trophy 'till I finished this one.
The serial killer radio bit is actually a spoof of an episode of The Wire, where the police invent a serial killer to up their public profile and get more funding. You can tell this because at one point the radio is like "police advise more public spending in the areas of x y z".
Ok, so I've got everything done (I think) other than the last mission for the 100% Complete Gold Trophy.
Now here’s the thing, I'm on the mission where I have to choose
Revenge or Deal. I've made a save to do both, but was wondering what most of you did. I think I'm going to kill Dimitre, because I already have $1,000,000 and don't really consider myself a poor fuck anymore, so they can get bent.

/according to a friend.
That's a little tricky- The Wire Season 5 aired between October 07(original release date for IV) and March 08. GTA came out in April. It's possible, but I think the delay was due to technical stuff and not the radio.

I went for Revenge first, then did the Deal. I can't fully reveal why, without spoiling the story, but the developers too seem to want you to choose Revenge since the rewards are greater.

I only choose Revenge because I just recently got a call from Dimitri about him cutting off my tongue, so he deserves to die. Roman didn't sound to happy, but now I'm waiting for the Wedding.
edit - and I am planning in on flying into his wedding, would this not be recommended?
Are they still recording voices for GTA4 expansion?
East Side Dave just got drunk on Ron and Fez and let slip that he was recording with Lazlo and that you will be able to hear his voice because it is used when you do something you have to like "steal a car."
Being at this is the first time i've played Grand Theft Auto IV (not on a console), I finally got my hands on one of my favorite cars in Grand Theft Auto.
I actually think I like the Turismo or the Super GT more than the Banshee. I always seem to wreck the shit out of Banshee's since they are a bit fast and seem to handle worse than the Turismo.
That said, I now have two Infernuses parked at my safe house. I got one from the last mission from Fabulous Florian. A few minutes later, after parking my first one, I happened upon one in the parking lot of the strip club in Alderney.

I prefer the Comet to all of them.
Rohan on
...and I thought of how all those people died, and what a good death that is. That nobody can blame you for it, because everyone else died along with you, and it is the fault of none, save those who did the killing.
Yeah the Comet is nice, but I tend to have the same problem as the Banshee when I'm in a Comet. Since the engine is in the front and it's made of plastic I tend to hit too much stuff and knock out the engine.
Also whenever I find one I always seem to go start a mission that takes my car away.
Yeah, the only problem is that it makes it much more vulnerable when you're being shot at. Especially when all 4 FIB agents in a car are unloading into it.

The car that you're currently driving spawns more often around you. So if you want a second of any car you have, just drive it around your safehouse for a little while until another appears, then park both.
That brings back memories of the time I circled the block around my safehouse and all of a sudden everyone in this run down neighborhood had corvettes... Seriously there were more corvettes parked along this stretch than there were regular cars on a normal day... It was like a few crazy people wanted to see if they could build a wall out of cars along the sidewalk...
Where the fuck was the Cheetah?
Also, once I was driving through a tunnel and I saw nothing but cabs. I counted around twenty before a non-cab showed up.
I'm still a fan of the Sabre GT. It rocks a bit when it turns, but it has a high top speed, can take a beating and looks badass.
I had a blast playing Team Mafyia Work tonight. Driving around the city blasting each other and fighting over objectives is fun times. There's just so many epic moments. Like when I was trying to get to a gang of dudes to kill and I took a wrong turn and ended up on an overpass above them. So myself and the dude riding shotgun just jumped out and gunned them all down from above.
This is bullcrap. I'm at 98.33% Game progress. I've done everything... UGH. I'm thinking (even though I recall doing all the activities with my friends) that I missed calling one of them for doing an activity they may have called me to do. This is rather annoying.
So I set up a date with Lawchick, but it didn't go well (I had the right clothes, and a nice car, but took her to a place she apparently didn't like). So she didn't give me her number, and I can't reorganise another date through the dating site. Is she gone forever?
This is what I have saved to a text document that I've pulled off the internet somewhere. All the {X} are ones that I've done...

Deliver all 30 of Stevie's text message cars.{X}
Complete all 10 of Little Jacob's drug deliveries. {X}

Meet random characters and complete their tasks (Ivan, Cherise, and Clarence excluded).{X}
Kill all 30 criminals on the Most Wanted list (via police car computer). {X}
Complete 20 Vigilante missions (via police car computer) {X}
What? That's a shitty requirement for 100%. Blegh!
He may not have realised not only do you have to take them to it, but you also have to beat them as well or it doesn't count.
Edit: Oh well then, don't you have it all wrapped up in one pretty little package after all.
Nah, you don't have to beat Brucie, L.J., Packie at pool, darts and bowling (combined), you only have to beat 1 friend at pool, darts, bowling (and then also take these 3 friends to all the activities in your cell). But me playing Pool with Packie (and losing) was my last activity I did, after dropping him off at 'ma's' I received the Golden Key.
Well, congratulations on the 100% anyways. I'm hoping to join the club by next week. Keep my jacket ready.

Had my first crash last night. I started up the mission for Elizabeta to run some drugs or something. But it crashed. ( So I reloaded the game and just ran amok in the city and did my first escape from a 4-star rating.
I was wondering how the online play is? Is it easy enough to find a pick up a game? Or do you have to start with a bunch of people you want to play with? Also, whenever I hit my Home key to log into GFW, it says I need patch. But when I patch with it and restart my game, my game thinks its' no longer using a KBM and instead thinks it's either on/using a 360 setup. So my character is constantly stuck walking forward and the interface bugs out and gives me recommended keys to use for a 360 controller. Am I the only one with this problem? (This isn't a one time issue, I've done it twice.)
To reverse the problem. I just do a 'verify integrity of local files' using steam. I know it's not the exact name of the command, but, well, I think most know what I'm referring to at least.

i tried picking up the one at the top of the...empire state building? but i maybe fell off.
They're the "Hidden Packages" of the game.
You shoot them.
/according to a friend.
BTW, what do you get for killing the pigeons? a new weapon spawn every 10 pigeons, like in all the previous games? Or just the stupid achievement?
Now here’s the thing, I'm on the mission where I have to choose

The Banshee.
So I felt I just had to make this afterwards:

I love that intersection, I don't think I ever drive there without jumping and soaring away
I prefer the Comet to all of them.
Nothing's forgotten, nothing is ever forgotten

And you can smash up the front all you want because the engine is in the back!
