Gold.

Was in Belfast last week but I couldn't make it. Done him a few times before, he puts on a good loud show.
A Tuesday night is no night for a concert tho.
Or maybe it is. Depends on how accessible it is for you I guess.. Just at this stage.. Well it is what it is. Next time maybe.
Good tune. Wee bit kitchen-sink & jaunty but sure that's him.

No way Axl took that video. It's fucking daytime!

For me, Trevor, the meth dealer, is the greatest videogame character ever. Not only is he the funniest, he's also one of the best written & performed roles. He's got a depth to him behind the craziness that's just as valid. He's one of the games greatest achievements.
Will, you've kinda stopped just as things are about to get going. The missions after Trevor's introduction are on another level to the slightly subdued opening.

So what's happening w/online then? I see there's a new update coming on Tuesday (coincidentally on the same day as the new destiny dlc drops..), adding a few new modes to freeroam. Looks ok. I'll defo dive back in to check it out.

What's the link to the gnrevo social club?
Add me to you friends list sure, send me a friend request - my psn name is

(Really wished I'd picked a more complicated name, it gets really annoying all the French kids shouting Down their mics!)

Even if it's just to fuck about for a while never mind heists i'll try & be on this weekend & next. I'm usually on most evenings (UK time). But I haven't played gta in about 4 or 5 months so might be a little rusty..

i'd defo play tho i'll prob be in a different timezone that you guys. but sure if yous see me online give me a buzz. i'll maybe even try & stay up late some nights to play.
hard to do tho. p much the last time i played gtao i was up til 3am trying to help a buddy finish the humane lab one. i was absolutely wrecked the next day. i was prob drunk & hungover as well. my body just can't hack that anymore.[/old man rant]

i'd been in since day 1 & played it non-stop for about 8months. then went back to it for another 4-5 months.
i never really sat for long times and grinded missions. the odd night here or there.
a fair few of my 3-120 levels were gained from grinding Criminal Records. there was a while where a 3 lap CR race would get you 5000rp or whatever it was. there were also a few RP glitches tho i didn't really bother w/them as i'd have been worried about being banned.
a lot of my levels did come about from racing - but then i got driveclub & really didn't play any racing in gta. that's probably when i really stepped away from the game.
aside from that, i just levelled up messing around w/crew members, playlists that sorta shit.
there were a few missions likeblow up 3 or coveted that were good grinds but really, in those early days it was just a race to 120 to unlock everything. since then i've just been playing the game.

i did do p much every money glitch tho, until the dead hooker glitch because i'd already had enough cash & didn't want to rip the piss - which was actually my all time favourite gta glitch (how much more appropriate can you get really? it just fit perfectly w/that universe).
it turns out i could've ripped the piss & glitched billions cause r* never did shit about anything except hacks & mods, but even i couldn't waste that much of my time glitching for gta$.

i dunno what my ratio/kills is like. i haven't been in freeroam in ages. not really since heists. it just got too militarised around that time.
tho saying that, some of my fondest memories are of freeroam battles. it is actually probably what i miss most from playing! when you get into the heat of it, it really is comparable to any great action film.. like a perfectly timed grenade launcher flips over an insurgent pick-up, killing the guy on the roof as it rolls over & then switching weapons to kill the driver as he's crawling out of his vehicle. or shooting out the pilot of the approaching suicide bomber helicopter while your in the passenger seat of a beat up car trying to escape & the heli comes crashing down & explodes behind you w/the two douchebags inside it as you and your crew mate drive off into the sunset.
or just reverse killing n00bs in my entity/zentorno
ah man, i miss that game.

yea, in terms of length & complexity heists don't compare. i just mean more, not necessarily freedom or emergent gameplay, but just the slapstick value i guess of gta. where when you fuck it it's often hilarious and "wtf?". whereas w/destiny it's just.. mor of a grind sorta thing. it just doesn't have that sense of fun i find.

are you going to do destiny year 2?
i can't remember the last time i played it tbh. i don't see myself going back. it really did have a great-end game/variety of things to do, almost overwhelmingly so. but it just... it just wasn't gtao, which despite all it's technical problems & imperfections, was just endlessly funny. i always got a laugh w/gta, not so much w/destiny & i think that kinda carried over to the heists/raid.

doing dragon age inquisition atm. not really feeling it, even tho i've somehow amassed 25hrs playtime so far (tho that includes time spent in the pause menu i'm told).
much preferred the witcher 3. i'd say that, far cry 4 & driveclub have been the best games i've played on the ps4 so far. axiom verge is great too but it doesn't really count as it's an indie release. if it shows up on ps+ give it a go.

i don't recall clearly but i think i read or heard somewhere that the "shut up & sing" was a direct quote from sorum??

tbh tho, it was great advice for axl. he had a great voice & a great delivery & he could've sang the fucking alphabet and people would've gobbled it up. he could done guest spots & duets & cover versions.
instead he crumbled & vanished. served himself.
a wasted talent.

i mean he coulda been doing that shit parallel to the chinese mess but he was just so damn tortured, or lazy, he couldn't just put his natural skill to good use.

so it goes..
