To update a small thing, the interstate trucking service previously known as RU Haul has been misspelled. It is named RS Haul, which sounds like 'arsehole'. But I think this list will be incredibly long in the end... -Fred

If I remember correctly, you can derail the train by going at top speed into curves and such. And you can walk around inside the train carriages. But I still don't think you'll be able to walk around inside planes the same way. Though hijacking planes, fun as it may be, will not feature in-view cam and controls, you might be lucky and hijack a crewed Learjet, and kidnap them much the same way as with cars. Which of course would lead to diabolical fun and games I want this game so badly... *Drools in his best Homer Simpson-imitation* -Fred

I don't think there'll be any in-plane views mate. Sorry to burst your bubble, but I think you should settle for the old school GTA way of flying: Getting directly behind the stick of the flight without stopping for headbashing passengers on the way. Though I admit that the thought strangely appeals to me -Fred

It's kind of you to indulge me sir -Fred

Me not living in the U.S. or Canada notwithstanding, I have already also reserved my copy. And I'm paying approximately... <calculates crowns into pounds and dollars> £8.49 or $15.27 for it. Thank you EB Games. -Fred

I'm making this thread for you people who used to play the first GTA-games, meaning GTA 1, 2 and London. My story is this: Me mate Kenny and me were having us a deathmatch on GTA 1, city of San Andreas. First one to make 15 kills would win. Not so simple, as both of us were skilled Road Warriors Anyway, we're tied 14-14 (which didn't happen often for Kenny as I was usually superior to him in terms of pure luck, so he's riled up pretty badly as you can imagine) and we meet finally on the Golden Gate bridge. Big car pile-up. He runs out of his car, slides over and flames me good with the flamethrower before I can aim at him. So I'm in flames, and he's already off my screen, running north for all he's worth. So I spray bullets after him in panic-fire, and guess what? I got the ungrateful maggot When the stats screen showed up, I was even declared the victor, even though I fell down from the flames about the same time he took a bullet. I wish I had a camera or something to document his reaction at losing with such small margins. Gave a whole new meaning to the term 'Livid Insane Rage', me mate did. I wonder why I speak in brit-talk. Must be because it sounds cooler to tell stories with a limey accent. Anyways, that's my story. C'mon, let's hear a few more, eh? -Fred

I remember owning my mates in GTA 1 and London. Never really bothered with #2 for some reason. Oh well. -Fred

Tooooooold yooooooouuuu sooooooo... I know. I'm a bad person. I shouldn't rub it in your faces. I'm a right bastard me -Fred

While this serious thing is supposed to be a bad thing, who will it be bad for? Rockstar, or we the people? -Fred Edit: As long as the game is not delayed or corrupted in some way, I will be sorta indifferent to the 'bad situation'.

The FBI Car in GTA 3. Damn solid roadgrip on that lil' honey! Moves like a greased gerbil too. Or was that lightning? -Fred

I should have guessed R* wouldn't settle for the old system of previous GTA's of just putting a radiostation on a reel and putting that on playback. This will most definately kick righteous donkey! -Fred

I'm getting it on the morning of the 29th. I preordered the thing at my local EB Games, and they're pretty decent about things like this. Gonna get up early, go to town, get the game, and be asocial until february -Fred

And I should be added to the list. For I am a Wise and Holy Man with gleaming eyes and clean genitals. Plus my mom says I r0x0r teh str33t. Very direct quoting. Very true. I love my mom. And I love you. "Spider Jerusalem - More famous than Jesus, better dressed than Santa Claus, wouldn't be seen dead on a cross and has never been caught up a chimney. So I deserve your money more." --Warren Ellis -Fred

I take that as a compliment Chris. Might be difficult to set that up, as I think you and I are from separate places on the globe. I'm norwegian you see Real viking. (Not the Kirk Douglas-in-the-movie-The-Vikings-kind though!) And I suspect you for being non-scandinavian really... However, aside from Chris, I think there's a few other intelligent people on this forum worth meeting for a talk, among which I remember are Millermagic and Precision. Will edit when remember more. Oh, and I have my own female. Lovely girl -Fred

Hillary's car has better acceleration. Your car does not reach top speed as fast, but in turn has a higher top speed. Drive by him as fast as you can, and try very hard not to hit anything, and use your handbrake for sharp turns. It takes a few tries, but once you drive decently without slowing down too much, you should be able to stay ahead of him. Which of course is the way to beat him without cheating -Fred
