Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas

[revisedgenocide]

Ive been in the gym every day, im at maximum buffage. The more i see of SA the more im impressed. Im still not out of the first city and ive seen loads of very cool things. Loved chasing the guy on a bike bombing through the hills, dropping down 50 odd feets past street level and down onto the lower freeway.

LOVED the club complete with neon strobes and VoodooRay music. Brilliant. My guys also sporting a wicked afro, looks proper dapper I tell ye.

Haha, my dude now has a Bobobo-bo Bobo-bo style huge, blonde afro, complete with ridiculour sunglasses and buffed up muscles. Now I'm trying to find the rest of the outfit. And the nose-hair! I'd post a piccy if I could.

I love the little details - there's just so many more that slip under the radar so often. Stuff like the Driv3r dissing is plain Rockstar stuff you'll expect("How can Refractions [sic] be so bad? TANNER YOU SUCK!!!") but then there's other cool stuff. Like when I was playing earlier, I hadn't been to see my girlfriend (in the game) for a while. Then I heard the dj on the radio read out a caller message from her asking me to call her and that she missed me. I was like o_O. It's the little things that do it for me. The scope is just so much wider in San An.

I agree completely. There's been so much thought to the little touches and details put into the game. It really makes it what it is in terms of immersion.

Anyone picked up on the Manhunt reference yet?

Anyone seen the slogan on the back of the staffs t-shirts at clucking bell? ''Taste the Cock'' made me laugh anyway.

Anyone found the two player pickup yet?

It's a bit ****, but quite amusing at the same time.

I love the "Hope you choke a doodle-doo!"

Very nice. Since the meet at my house I have been seriously looking at projectors. Still a pipe dream atm sadly.

Are replacement bulbs still as expensive as buying a brand new projector, and do they still only alst 500 hours ish?

havent checked out recent advancements in projectors but they used to be stupidly expensive to buy for gaming or watching tv, specially when you have to fawk out hundreds of pounds to replace a bulb every 500 odd hours.

where was the manhunt reference?

[SuperBeatBoy]

the "true crime" billboard made me laugh

"time to take out the rubbish" something like that :P

Whats the Pal version like ? I know there is no 60 hz mode. Is there borders ? Is it noticeably slower than the US version ? It's been so long since I played a Pal game not sure if it would annoy me enough to just import a US version which I should have done in the first place.
Thanks.

I think prices have dropped massively in the last year or so.

I picked up an Infocus DLP projector for just 700 quid new a couple of months back, bulb life is 3000 hours and replacements weigh in at 200 nicker.

Looks the absolute business with everything running in progressive scan, picture quality far surpassed what I was expecting for such a relatively cheap bit of kit. I just need a bigger lounge now, can only get it up to a measy 6ft wide...!

where was the manhunt reference?

Spoiler: In a radio advert for tourism in Carcer city. Manhunt and GTA obviously take place in the same world.

some of the level design is just superb. What i always liked about liberty city was the fact that one part of the map could feel like a completely different place to another and that those differences were logical. Youd have your nasty slum areas then a quick drive away youd have the very posh houses up on the hills overlucking the lower class scum so to speak. The area up on the hill in the first city in SA is superb and is better than that seen in 3 imo. I spent half an hour just checking out the posh houses.
Ive found me a 4x4, put k-rose on too, yee haw.

If anyone has the game, are still in the first area and fancy a wander. Go to the northern most reachable area where you'll find there's a brilliant 'toy' around the log cabins.

panasonic AE100/200/300/500/700 last around 5000 hours, bulbs around ?250.
