Grand Thumb Auto XXIII: Hilarious Name

[toblix]

Okay, we did vanilla last time, which I thought was a massive success. Which one should we do tonight, at 21:00 GMT?

Also, who will be attending? I hope I will be.

Very important difference.

I'd like to stick with vanilla again--last week was so much more fun than the week before IMHO. If anything, I think TLAD ultimately takes away more than it brings. And haring around after random bikes or the Lone Wolf hasn't been all that fun I think.

Just my $0.02-worth... begin pelting me with rotten vegetables and horse excrement now!

[Nachimir]

Should be. This week, I'm determined to manage more than 60 seconds in a fire engine.

[James]

I should be around, I think. I'd vote vanilla, too, although I do miss a couple of things from TLAD. Like the big airport vehicles and the crazily unbalanced shotgun. Well, maybe the latter ruins things a bit, but in an amusing way.

Seriously though, why can't we have everything in one game? It's not like TLAD is accessible without GTA4, so it can't be some dumb economic reason.

[toblix]

Well, that was awesome. GTA races are so fucking awesome. They're so cool. They're like awesome flavoured ice-cream. The frantic opening seconds where we turn into a katamari of firetrucks, the racing around and suddenly having to maneuver through firefights among burning car wrecks. So awesome.

[Nachimir]

Yes

All the games last night were a massive amount of fun. Getting to run James over with a fire truck just before crossing the finishing line in 1st made my night. I think sniper works much better with only the leader blip sinc we have to rely more on our wits and surprise is more fun. Toblix, you were evil in that rocket match

[Wrestlevania]

Yeah, that RPG match in the refinery was properly hectic! Good fun though--especially those amazing long-range kills. They're almost like slo-mo.

Man, need to have a secondary night for these. I can't do these Tuesday afternoon matchups anymore

[miffy495]

Well, I just had to give my summer hours for work, and lied and said that I had a summer class on Tuesdays and Saturdays (actually only Saturdays), so I'll be in for a while.

[Nachimir]

lied and said that I had a summer class on Tuesdays

Well... people do get schooled

Getting to run James over with a fire truck just before crossing the finishing line in 1st made my night.

Glad to be of service.

The firetruck/firetruck/scooter/pedestrian collision was pretty hilarious, too. I forget who the pedestrian was, though. Was it Grippage?

[miffy495]

That was pretty excellent. I was proud to be a part of it. Barreling my truck along, seeing Grippage standing there waiting to be smushed, and then being involved in a massive pileup of people trying to run over the dude made my night.
