Hmm, the curse of a vivid imagination. Now I am torn between laughing, and cringing . . .

Wheee, Kashluk was deceived by SA, how novel !

Hah! Captain Obvious! Even his wisecracks are from two years ago.

Well 2 years is pretty good, considering Finland is like 50 years late.

... It wasn't really meant as a joke, either. Just pointing out that you're really pointing out the obvious. Well YES CRAP WATSON, you used the word "year", OMG that must be like 100 years old!!!1 Fuck. I'm so disappointed in myself. Luckily I scored A from history, it relieves my pain, oh so smooth... mmm... yummy.

Your head might be taller if you chewed authentic finnland produced sugarless gum.

Yeah, so anyway, has anyone else noticed how the niggaz you recruit are fairly dumb? Earlier in the game I got three of them in my lowrider with me and cruised past a big huddle of Ballas ready for some action, but my guys didn't start shooting until I was half a block past them. They also shoot cars that blow their horns at you while you're driving, causing them to speed up and go right up the arse crack of your car which is a pain if it's got a custom paint job.

I'm only up to early San Fierro so I don't know if ganger AI gets any better or what.

Control-wise, I agree that the PS2 controller is great for driving, I like the touch sensitivity of the buttons so you can decelerate around corners while holding X without braking at all - and on foot it's sorta okay. Apparently the targeting system was revamped so it would target the most aggressive person you see first, but half the time it goes for pedestrians or my own gang members instead of the enemy. :/

You know, that whole "Yes crap Watson"-dealio is pretty gay. I mean, it would have worked if it had been "No, shit Sherlock", but it's "No shit, Sherlock"

Can we please stop with all this "who says what and what is old enough not to be said" buggery?

Now I'm all confused.

Something Awful made a Truth Media review about Halo 2 as well, in which they called it pretty much utter shit and at the end suggested that players should go and play San Andreas instead. In San Andreas's review they call it utter shit and tell people to go play Halo 2 instead.

I CAN'T MANAGE THE TRUTH

I just got it today and it's totally awesome.

And the first mission(getting an haircut) absolutely rocks.

Canis Lupus · Post by **Canis Lupus** » Thu Nov 18, 2004 2:41 am

The TruthMedia reviews are all designed specifically to piss of fanboys of the games.

I'm up to a mission where you need swimming skill at a certain level or something, so I have to go down to the beach in my chonglers a lot. Chonglers is a funny word.

im stuck at this mission for Wu Zie that requires a higher underwater skill and I dont even know how to raise it. Ive tried just diving in the water and holding my breath while trying to not kill myself, can someone give me some direction? Ive been stuck at this mission for some days and have to complete it to get more.

This goddamn mission with about stealing the army reserve weapons sucks. Ryder always dies.

Subhuman · Post by **Subhuman** » Mon Nov 22, 2004 5:55 pm

Yeah, that one blows.

Luckily I know the secret to beating it.
