Something funny happened earlier when I played GTA 5.

There was a group of people on the map following each other. There was 4 of them. Two people in a Dominator, one guy in a Ford GT who was level 120, and a GTPer. I was nearby so I decided to start to follow them.

The guy in the Ford GT tried to blow up the two people in the Dominator, while the GTPer was chasing down the Ford GT. The Dominator made a sharp turn, lost speed, and got sticky bombed by the Ford GT and blew up. I saw it happen, so I tried to instigate.

I started chasing down the guy in the Ford GT. I followed him for about .2 miles before he made a left. He slowed down and tried to sticky bomb me. I made sure to be right beside him, so if he did sticky bomb me, he would blow up.

In two seconds, he threw the sticky bomb, blew up the sticky bomb, while at the same time I drove away and shot him with the AP Pistol, killing him. I got out of the bomb radius barely in time to survive. He ended up dying, and blowing up his own Ford GT, without even killing me.

I thought it was pretty great.

I forgot to mention I only had a stolen Karin Asterope. If he was smart he would have pulled out an AP Pistol/Uzi and shoot my tires.

Apparently, my session is now on "GTA Online TV."

What? Is someone spectating me? I allowed that option, but it didn't say who was spectating me.

What is GTA Online TV?
 
Yeah. There's definitely something up when a guy on a Sprunk-themed Bati 801RR drove all the way to the top of Mt. Chilliad and then onto the roof of the cable car station/Soulwax FM.

Finally got a special crate drop and got the Happiness Is shirt.

Is it anything like the "Happiness Is... Land" T-shirt from GTA IV?

You were probably shot in the head but for some reason only the shooters client registers the precise location of the shot, hence why slammed cars have bulletholes on other peoples clients for example.

I was in cover the whole time. It's stupid how the damage system works in the game.
 
GTA Logic: Bulletproof vests take extreme damage by falling off motorcycles or jumping out of a vehicle.
 
GTA Logic: Stabbing a random person in the leg kills them, but stabbing another player in the leg isn't an insta-kill.
 
GTA Logic: You can shoot someone in the chest at point blank with a shotgun and they will survive, not be knocked down by the blast, and still be able to shoot back with no problems.
 
GTA Logic: Cops automatically follow a shoot to kill policy, even if you bump into them.
 
GTA Logic: A single shot of the Lazer's cannons will blow you up instantly.
 
Strange finding tonight. When transporting a car that is running in a cargobob, you can fly low and if you are able to drag the vehicle with the wheels in contact with the ground, the car will audibly rev. Pretty cool little party trick
 
I swear, Chakra Attack has to be the funniest radio program in the game. I usually don't listen to in-game talk shows, but it is downright hilarious. Anyone else listen to it?

"HIT ME WITH THAT RAIN STICK!!!"

"DON'T DISRESPECT COCONUT WATER!"

"Exploding genitals?! DAMN!!!"
 
OK, so am getting fed up not being able to play 'time to get away' from Martin, so if anybody on PS3 has played it can you invite me please? Cheers, I will play on auto or free aim, no matter to me.

I think Chattersphere is funnier :lol:. Chakra Attack is pretty good too, but The Fernando Show just annoys me. How can anybody talk like that and not ruin their throat?

He's been doing it for a while now haha
 
The new money glitch is absolutely glorious. Thanks to @Turbo Lag for encouraging me to finally get round to trying it.
 
I've been going into more random lobbies now and have been having quite a bit of fun, despite the numerous assholes who try to start crap, like the level 50 something who quickly learned that a Buzzard can be taken down easily, as well as himself.

And a trio of idiots decided to blow up my 6x6 and take off, I decided to just outsmart them, as the case with most GTA Auto Aim players.

Simply took my blip off the radar, stole a car, drove up to them with a grenade cooking in my hand, and there goes their stupid Huntley and a triple kill. Chaos insued after that, but I held my own pretty damn good when it came to be 3v1, then 4v1

See, I can't do that. I'm terrible at killing people in GTA. I can only camp on rooftops and snipe(which is pretty easy), and drive-by/chasing people down with an Ap Pistol or an Uzi.

It just takes some practice and ingenuity. I ways always the type to avoid conflict and crap, but if you just practice some free roam deathmatches with friends/crew members, you'll get better.

I notice most people are terrible when they get chased down. Its either people can't drive, or they can't shoot, or they don't have bulletproofs on their car. Or a combination of these things.
