I'm still doin pis over and over again, stuff goes up without remorse. well beyond 100 now.

bawsaq is a "saq" of gold. just take the pis-scheme. down to 0, now up to beyond 70 (last time I checked it was 72). when you invested at, say, 12, you have a return rate of 600%. with the approx 35 - 40 million you'd regularily have after beating the story and taking option c in the end... plus the assassination missions and the resulting monetary boost... yeah it's easy to mass the billions. timeconsuming, but easy. and tbh, there's just too little to spend it on. oh and there's also a neat trick to buy property for free so you can fatten your wallet even easier

espcially the snapmatic thing pipis me off. like a bazillion of awesome photo opportunities lost due to the online requirement for it. I can live with bawsaq being online only, but snapmatic really should work offline aswell.

I decided to put my hands on the y interchange again, still not perfect (to me) but much more pleasing than the first version...

through the story for a few days now and just realized I didn't doo all to well, especially at the end... bummer... nnaaahhh now I know it for playthrough 2. EDIT: ow I think our crew name has to be a good bit shorter, more like a tag

about the very most ugliest y-intersection I've ever built, but it's hard to go diagonal... oh I wish the RHW guys would focus on enhancing diagonal capabilities rather than anything else... there's multiple-level, multiple width, flex stuff but yet only rhw4-mis diagonal ramps and no diagonal transitions...

heres 2 of my latest, nothing fancy tho... simple cloverleaf and a 3 level t-bone, but with every path at least 2 lanes. still thinking about enhancing the t-bone with u-turn capabilities. give them sims u-turns. sims love u-turns.

yeah there's too many heists where you walk out empty... but then again, there's enough ways to multiply that money, especially with the tips and tricks to stock market trading (and the occasional scheme going on on bawsaq)

note tho that my region already contains trees what gives quite a different appearance

I was having CJs back in the days when there was no reputation stuff around here ... or a dedicated CJ fuction... so to say when CJs were normal forum topics I'm tempted to say I was hosting CJs when the internet was still dial-up-modem driven, but that would be exaggerated I guess

Simtropulus maybe? to encorporate the populus thing... and yes I'm on ps3, but I think you can crew up cross platform wise EDIT: wow... bailed out WAY too eraly... PIS is up to 25 by now, sold at 17... that would have been 200% return rate. wow...

wow, didn't even know the helpers are timed props... even after 10 years around here, you still learn something new every day

very slow but steady progress on that guy...

I wish xannepans stuff wasn't prefab but puzzlepieces... maybe down the road...

stunning

wow, the PIS scheme on BAWSAQ was a great success... I sold now and got +144% and +99% return rate. too bad I only had little money to invest, single digit million on both. soooo whos gonna start a crew? and what should we call it?

good idea with that gang but seriously, what did we expect? 13million copies sold in the first 24hrs and now the game is 2 weeks old. of course things would eff up on GTAO launch

I tried to online, I failed. hard. no luck beyond the breathtakingly ludacris ludicrous character "creation"... damn you R* Social Club for being to weak to cope with the demand... EA says hi...

yeah you can actually hide in bushes but it's sort of tricky... just like hiding round the corner. might work, might fail. it seems that it's the easier the darker outside and the darker you're dressed.

I refrain from escaping cops in vehicles. too much hassle. a walk in the park on foot, but in a vehicle it's certainly more complicated

everytime I see this readhead I get a funny feeling... anyways, I totally love the line of sight thing they did to the cops. once they go to search mode you can basically hide away right around the corner, they don't see you if they don't look around the corner. awesome. robbed a gruppe sechs vehicle in paleto bay and took a hideout in the training tower at the fire station, ground floor, they ran right past me and didn't see me for they didn't look

you want a milestone, here is one: I TOTALLY... and I mean TOTALLY... I TOTALLY FORGOT MY 10TH ANNIVERSARY on Simtropolis...

haven't heard about custom radio stations yet, that's usually a pc thing tho. I find the audio options in general pretty poor, not just for radio. I wish I could finetune output volume, speech is just too damn loud compared to everything else, even tho voice boost is at 0. anyways, I know in older gtas, you could set radio to be random or automatically the same station you last listened to but I can't remember seeing such an option in V. but then again, I have the music off anyways so...

Prof. Milton Wainwright of Sheffield University (I think) is 95% certain to have found extraterrestrial material containing DNA. In detail, the team send a balloon up to 27kilometers height during the last Perseid shower and this balloon collected afore mentioned material. This material is of a size that scientists agree on it can't be "outbound" from earth as in lifted up there by winds and stuff, but must be coming "inbound" to earth from somewhere out there in the vast nothingness of space. plus certain particles where covered in so-called "cosmic dust", further underlining the alien origin thesis. http://www.sci-news.com/space/science-extraterrestrial-life-form-earth-stratosphere-01393.html http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/the-truth-is-out-there-british-scientists-claim-to-have-found-proof-of-alien-life-8826690.html so what do you think? yet another "maybe" that turns out to be a false alarm or are we finally a good step closer to answer the question "are we alone?" (a question that, I might add, from my point of view can only be answered with "no" as there's so many bazillions of solar systems out there that it would be a damn waste of space if we were alone)

That shouldn't be a problem afaik. I played the first few days w/o connection simply because my auto-login to psn was sort of disabled and I had no problem with missions that require taking pictures. But you're right, that's quite a hassle with social club these days... but yeah no wonders, that has to be expected... I also only delivered one hitchhiking mission to the altruists... sort of hate these buggers but wanted to do it to have it done. as for attacking them, take you're time anyways, maybe you didn't know this already, but GTA blew records again. not just did it cash in over 0.8billion dollars in the first 24hrs, it also sold 13million copies in that time. a figure, one must know, GTA IV needed a year to achieve. maybe that explains the problems with the social club connections
