The guy on the talk radio station is Brian Sack, a conservative humorist, playing a wacky liberal. That's probably why.

"conservative humorist" lol

Also, I got the three red rings after a few tries. Then I restarted the console a couple times and it went away

I got to watch a bit of the TV in the apartment before the first freeze, and watched a bit of Gervais standup, which was weird.

I've heard that when you turn, the camera doesn't actually turn with you or some other such retardedness?

Free aiming when you don't want to actually shoot something is a pain in the ass.

I hear this can be fixed by deleting the game data on the hard drive edit: reading the thread is hard

also Maradon what do you think of the Limbaugh parody

All Funny comedians are liberal or apolitical.

I'm pretty sure Lewis Black is conservative. Also, Penn Gillette is about as hardcore libertarian as you get, and that's the ideological opposite of contemporary liberalism.

There's other funny conservatives, but you're probably too busy hating them to laugh.

So what are people's favorite vehicles so far? I'm liking the look of the PMP 600 if I'm just driving around. The Banshee is fun for burning up the road, though.

Went bowling with Michelle. Was waiting for her to take her turn, when I noticed one of the ads in the next lane over was for Ebola Cola

Some very minor freezing issues my first time playing (1-5 second freezes), every time they either fixed themselves or the game resumed when I hit the Playstation button on my controller. Since then I haven't had any problems.

No bullshit, it's the most stable game to ever grace my 360. Everything else to come through it has given me some troubles like random spin-downs, or at least a DRE. Yet between three players, GTA4 has had a monstrous amount of playtime and hasn't had a single problem.

Suck it, Sony.

Pretty much this.

I notoriously have had 360 problems, yet GTA has ran beautifully for me.

I've had like 15 second waits when ordering burgers once or twice. The game didn't freeze, it just took awhile for the scripting to execute or something.

Other than that, nothing.

YOTC on the otherhand, has gone 2 for 2 on bad discs.

YOTC owes me one internet dollar because we were doing 3 on 3 team deathmatch in the prison, and the other team was getting beat so bad that they fled the prison. Eventually one person spawns back in the prison after Nem snipes him from across the bay and escapes again and I chase after him. I kept sending him telephone calls about how I'm going to hunt him down and get him.

Chasing him across Liberty city, and 30 seconds left in the game, YOTC makes the reward of the one internet dollar. About 5 seconds left, I see him trying to board a helicopter one of his teammates brought over to pick him up in, and plowed right through him, leaving nothing but his sneakers and a stream of smoke.

But Skaw's story has made me want to buy this ASAP.

We'll probably play again sometime tonight. A solid 8 man team would be awesome for some 16 player gang warfare.

Me and Nem are apparently pretty good. During our play last night with Waisz and YOTC, me and Nem would consistantly get like 70-90% of our teams cash between the two of us. And way more than enough to win most of our games.

Granted, I'm further than Waisz and YOTC in the Story Mode by like a bajillion, so I've had a ton of practice capping people in the face. And Nem is.. Nem. Nignog picked up a Sniper Rifle and mastered it in no less than 30 seconds.

The Heat mission (three leaf clover) was pretty much the best mission so far.

I've got to be about 75% of the way through the game, and it's been really good. I feel like there's still so much I want to accomplish.

I played some multiplayer last night with my cousin and a bit of 3 player co-op as well. They really nailed it. Just needs a better lobby system really, but that's 95% of all console games. I wonder what they're planning to do for the PC version.
