One of the first things I did in GTA was die. :lol: In the drug deal mission. I tried to do it Rambo style (With a pistol, instead of an MG) and got killed.
 
Dual miniguns. :mischievous:

I mean... technically...

I've been playing online so much lately, I'm basically on my own on PC so I've been thinking up ways to entertain myself. Charging around in my Phoenix killing level 5's over and over to unlock weapon skins is what I'm up to nowadays, how about you guys?

In this instance I had to get out of the car, the guy had been running through the hills following me as I went to buy weapons. Here is a glimpse of his final moments, the moment in which he edged closer as I was waiting, musket in hand. Getting kills with the musket is fun :lol:

I then drove off into the sunset, and by sunset I mean off a cliff but as I have like a billion hours in this car I managed to land it on the side of a near vertical rock sticking out from the ocean.

I then decided to play GTA IV online again to see how far GTA V has come, anyone remember the awful online mode of IV where everyone only played at the airport and battled in helicopters? Me too! However the game is so unoptimised on PC the whole thing just froze every time I tried to connect. This brought me to single player. Niko was mad at me for playing so much GTA V so I bought him an Audi R8 Spyder.

What's wrong with the current one?
It's just the regular pump shotgun with a shorter barrel and magazine that magically holds eight rounds.

In most games and movies, it's usually be depicted as a double barrel shotgun, with the stock and barrel crudely sawed off, hence the name.

Obviously, it isn't as good function-wise but dammit, it looks cool.

Just to clarify, the range and overall performance is less than the pump shotgun, right?
 
So, what's the best thing about being a fan of racing games in GTA Online?

I know what the brake pedal is for.

It's ridiculously fun when you take an actual racing line into a corner while everyone else just goes in at full tilt and wipes out.

Just don't play with randoms in a contact race. Everyone is a cheating sod in GTA Online races.

Why would I want to stop when I can go from last to first in a single corner?

Admittedly, it's annoying when the host changes the settings to allow weapons (of only because I don't know how to use them) because you're miles better.

Oh, everyone will pit your car every chance they get. Especially in super class races.
 
That's why I don't let them get close enough - they all just go directly to the next checkpoint without any thought of their car position on the other side.
 
So, finally gave the Creator a go today. Came up with a rallycross type race through Grapeseed. Not the greatest, but I still have some touching up to do to it. Muscle cars on dirt is fun.

Speaking of which, anyone know a good pai t combo for a Phoenix? I've been trying out some metallic paints recently but they all look kinda tacky. I want something a little different from my light matte grey paint, but something that fits the old school theme.

Fun new game: Nuzlocke, GTA version. I'm gonna call it the Townlocke challenge after the late (or is he????) Michael Townley.

  1. Make sure you have a second character slot free.
  2. Make sure you only have 10k in the bank (the rest of the money should be on hand on your first character).
  3. Create a new character.
  4. Reach Lv12 and purchase a high end apartment over time.
  5. Complete the Fleeca bank heist as a host and retire from your life of crime rich and happy.
  6. You've won!
There are only four rules.

  • One: No deaths and no failures. You fail if you die at all, whether it be in free-roam or in a mission, even if you respawn. Likewise, if you fail to COMPLETE a mission (note that this means you can still come 2nd or 3rd in races, but you will only fail the challenge if you receive a DNF) you will also fail the challenge, whether it be due to losing all your lives or blowing up something you shouldn't.

  • Two: No cheating death. Passive mode is BANNED. Any lobbies other than Public lobbies are BANNED. You must survive using your own skills and wits. If you steal a car and end up getting a bounty, or you try and grab Simeon's special vehicle, that's your problem. If someone targets you for no reason, then tough luck I guess. (You may still invite friends into missions, but note that it's frowned upon to spend the whole challenge spamming heist setups with your buddies.)

  • Three: No teleporting. Your spawn location must be set to last location at all times. Teleporting after a mission is acceptable, but you are not allowed to abuse this in order to avoid an untimely death (such as whilst a bounty is on your head).

  • Four: Death is final. If you fail the challenge by dying, failing a mission, or otherwise breaking one of the other rules, you must delete your character and start from the beginning. It is also good practice, but not a requirement, to try and spend every last dollar you have earned before deleting your character (clothes are a good way to waste all of your hard earned cash).

After winning, you get to keep all of your hard earned cash, and you can choose whether to continue following Townlocke rules or not. Imagine how many people will respect you when you reveal that you have a Lv50 Townlocke character!

Here are some optional rules that you can choose to follow as well. Some make it easier, and some make it a lot harder:

Medics At Standby: You have a 1 minute window after every successful mission and session change, during which Rules One and Two do not apply. After a minute has passed, you must be alive, in a public session and out of passive mode.
Let Off With A Warning: If you are killed by the police as a result of a 1 or 2 star wanted level, Rule One does not apply. If you die in a 3+ star wanted level, or you die to the military, gangs, or another player whilst in a 1 or 2 star wanted level, you still die.
Wake Up, Neo: You may safely die during any mission aside from contact missions, heist setups, or heist finales (AKA you can participate in Deathmatches, Captures, LTS and Vs Missions)
Trust No-One: You may not participate in any mission with anybody from your crew or your friends list.
Winners Don't Quit: Once you have started any mission, whether it's Golf or a Heist Finale, you may not quit. Purposefully quitting results in a failure.
Bare-Chested Warrior: You cannot wear any garments on your upper body. This includes shirts, jackets, scarves, ties, bulletproof vests, utility vests, or hats/helmets of any kind. Attire during heists and heist setups must be set to player-saved only - if it is not, then you may not participate. For the sake of cool factor, glasses, chains and gloves are allowed. I'm not sure if female characters can even do this one, but the idea is that you can't equip damage-reducing items, so just adjust this one as necessary.
Hyper-Extreme Ultra Mode: If you lose connection, you lose the challenge.

I like this! I am going to give this a go and see how I fair. I will keep y'all posted!
