I've been playing for like a year and I own 6 cars, and as of yesterday I didn't even have an apartment, just a garage.

Granted, I have a tank and a buzzard.

Also apparently an apartment overwrites a 10 car garage and migrates your cars, because I bought an apartment and it said I would lose my other property and it migrated my cars and I lost my property.

the landing wasn't entirely uneventful either. Good luck explaining that to the warden, dude.




Here's a video of a landing i attempted online before one of those guards blew the plane up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzokp9QJtsA

Anyone down for doing Pacific Standard heist tonight from beginning to end? I already started the heist as a host but my friend hasn't been around to finish it with me and now Lester wants me to start from the beginning again.

Add me as friend on RSC, same user name.

I'll probably be on around 6pm EST and hanging out in mumble.

I'd be down to give you a hand, I just did it last night with a few others who can attest to either my shittiness as a player or extreme unluckiness (such as getting slamdunked into a shed at the very end of the convoy setup.)

I'll probably be on around 7-730ish.

It was rough, but the glitches made up for it. I remember people doing nothing but selling cars to LSC over and over again.

Oh yes, myself included. I'd drive out to Sandy Shores and sell cars for an hour or two, raking in $millions.

And then wasting it on useless Pegasus buys that I barely (if ever) use.

You headed to the jump in a car? Why? Set a waypoint straight for the boat and just drive the car straight there. The suggested path is just that, suggested, and rather pointless if you are in a car.

I just beeline for vespucci, grab a boat, and ride the waves.

Some of the versus missions are fun, but sadly no one plays them because they pay out poo poo and you have to use your own ammo.

I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.

Every time I've had to setup one for a Daily it's always fun until I realize that I'm super low on ammo and it just cost me like 2~4 grand to blast a few pubbies away in a limited area.

Whenever I do this they either half-rear end it or no-rear end it. So far I am undefeated in Capture.

I like it. With extended mags it has an ammo capacity of 100, and it sounds awesome.

Both are pretty good. Combat MG is probably one of the best anti-police weapons in the entire game though, the added accuracy is great in taking heli pilots out while you sit in the back of a van.

Racing is fun when every other player misses a turn on the second lap and you get 1-2 checkpoints ahead for the rest of the race.

I had actually forgotten what it was like to drive cars other than the Kuruma and Insurgent since I had used them for so long. It was actually kind of nice. But yeah, Rockstar kind of overstepped

I found out that you can speed run Cleaning Out the Cat House (I think is the name) by trivializing it with a helicopter landing on the roof. Avoids any shooting and the 'escort' triggers immediately since she's on the second floor.

You can speed run it with any vehicle. Slam whatever you're driving into the motel wall just below her room and she'll run out and get in. I found this out by accident when I decided to try to run down the bikers in the parking lot at full speed while airborne and blasting the Dukes of Hazzard horn.
