New OT thread. Non-DSM specific info.

New off-topic thread in celebration of the new sub forums. Here is the link to the old one in case people missed the latest posts: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=297865

Topic is Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which I have on pre-order, and comes out in ~15 days. Gran Turismo 4 comes out in November if we are lucky, and I will beat the game with a DSM.

That is all.

Cant wait for GT4. Man if its as long as GT3, then that sucks. Its good in a way because its long, but gets kinda annoying seeing yourself play so much and not making much progress. I remember i played everyday in the summer and i didnt even get close to finishing (something around 40%). lol, i remember i did a few of the endurance races for the money, I got 1st after racing for like 40 mins straight, cashed the money and got a nice race car too. :biggrin:

here is a pic of the Eclipse in GT4 :biggrin:

Has anyone heard of the Shell V Power? What the hell kind of shit is that? Anyone use it yet? I heard it just has more detergent or something....

i heard something like it has more degtergant than required by law.. but i also heard so does every other gas and they just advertise it as something special...

hey everyone wish me luck. gonna show my car tomorrow to someone who has the money to buy it. hopefully he'll give it a nice home.

It's an awd spyder. I know having the wind in your hair while launching off of the line would feel great.

I got a chance to play HALO 2 at one of my friends house over the weekend. Its really good, although the levels are almost the same, the game play & graphics have improved. You can now equipt 2 weapons at once, hijack vehicles, ect.... We also played a few 5 vs. 5 Halo 1 multiplayer. :biggrin:

Oh man i got San andreas on friday and man is it fucking dope!!! I fucking love it man! its so bad ass! The first level riding a fucking bick is hard as fuck though because my strength was shit...

No, but we played a 5 vs. 5 in the Hang em High level. It was pretty intense, one minute your alive then you just die. lol :iceslolan
Im not that great at it cuz i dont have an Xbox, but if me and my friends decide to play again in the near future then I'll try to setup an online game so we can play some of the ppl on here.

just got the new grand theft auto game today. the game is awesome so far, only played for about 30 minutes though....gotta watch the red sox game.

my friend has been playing that game non stop.

i cant blame him, ive been playing for like 3 hours right now, lol

lol, I just got GTA last night, and i got to say its pretty good so far. The 1st mission was kinda hard.... but i got past it. I like how the game is setup, the food, energy and everything.

Red Sox one game away from winning it all. All the Red Sox fans here must be very happy!

yeah i am. boston better win the series this yr. if they dont....there has to be a curse.lol.

Yeah i love the way GTAsa is setup.

is it just me or does that cop sound like samuel l jackson???

lol, in the game theres more cursin than an R rated movie. wich makes the game funnier :lol:

yea its him and its that fat guy (gta cops partner) from starsky and hutch

BOSTON WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats to all the Boston fans in this forum. :cheers:


ya GTA is funny, I got to turn the volume down because they curse soo much! How far did you guys get??

Not to interrupt the gta conversation, but did everyone get the same PM titled The Ultimate Rally. It talks about some race in 2006, 100 cars only, and only a $30,000 entry fee.

Yeah, I got a PM too. If I had $30,000 then I would just take a plane to California and have my car shipped over.:evillol:

I WIN!!!!!:lol2:

I got the PM as well, i think they sent it to everyone.

GTA SA rules all.

About the PM Message:

Ok... Oh well. :frown: I had my hopes up thinking they targeted me, cause they wanted me to race.

Yeah Right. J/K

gtasa....so far im 45% done and ive had it for a week. Right now im stuck on the mission where you have to fly the stupid little planes around and shoot out the delivery guys. Either that or learn to fly....but i suck at the flying school anyone got any pointers?

I can't stand Bush.:disappoin

I much as i want bush out of the white house, it seems like hes gonna be here for another term. :disappoin

Damn you finished 45%! What, were you like playing all day? I rented it for like 2 days and i only got like 6-7%.

57.22% with 36 hours in the game. Got it thursday.

joe....have you passed the supply lines mission from zero yet? i never seem to have enough gas to finish.....not to mention i suck at flying the damn plane

im 58.82% done in 29:37

lol...i killed my first girfriend by the starting house.

The slamvan is the coolest truck in the game, or the 4x4 raised truck, but that keeps disappearing from my garage.

Im already in the las vegas land...im on the mission where yo have to plan out the hiest and i just got another gf and shes a sex machine type girl. But yea i dont know how much percent i have already. Yea the fucking little planes is hard so im gonna leave that for last. The air pilot school isnt too hard you just need to practice..

i was just stupid for flight school. i was stuck on the circle the airstrip....and then i remembered about raising the landing gear...god i felt stupid.

yay i just finished all the storyline missions in gta Time: 37:21....71.12% done....damn there is alot of other stuff to do

I havent found hardly any of the horseshoes or "tagged" much.

Finally i got GTA back. I rented it from blockbuster and i didnt have time to buy it. Finally went and bought it yesterday. The game just gets better as you go along. Im around the place where you meet OG Loc and help Big Smoke kill those ppl on the train. Man this game is badass! :biggrin:

Another thing, i was just fooling around in the city, and i seemed to find some sort of 2 player mode. It was at night and i dont remember where it was, but have any of you guys found that too??

Anybody playing halo?

halo 2?

yes you can go 2 player mode in GTA. It shows up at your gfs house, when you get one too.

the two player mode is all throughout the game as well....im at the missin where i kill SMOKe but now i cant get out of the burning builiding....I also never finished the little airplane mission where you have to destroy all the couriers

metalhead...that courier mission is seriously one of the hardest in the game. Took my the longest time to complete. You have to kill the first 3 in about 30 seconds. Have about half fuel WHEN your killing the 4th. its a PITA

yeah halo2 anybody have it? im playing mine and i like it so far. Theres like two story scenes you play.
