    For the net connection thing, I think I might know what the issue is.

    When I updated to the newest firmware a few weeks back I was having the same issue; whenever I powered up the ps3 and it connected to the router all the connected pc's would drop. I googled it and came up with the issue. It seems to be some problem with the ps3's media sharing that screws everything up. I just disabled that and its been fine ever since.

    That might not be a good enough fix for those that actually use the media streaming, but it didnt bother me.

    Where is that setting?

    Well I got it to work. What I did was disable internet on PS3 along with deleting all the saved GTA games from the PS except the one I was actually playing. I noticed it would freeze if I saved the game when I laid down in the bed. But if I let auto save do it , I have had no issues. Since I have done this, I have not had any issues..knock on wood.........:rolleyes:

    Mini mission, I was at Faustino's place then I was being chased by cops around his house. I dove into the water escaped the cops... I walked up to a house and saw a glowing pigeon I decided to shoot it and it popped up I had more to kill it said 1 of ****.

    Press L1 while driving to shoot, use the right stick to move the target icon.

    Did you turn on the Sixaxis controls in the menu?
    The Sixaxis thing is kewl. I did the tutorial. The helicopter is tricky though.

    Some Random ****.. hahaha



    So I'm by the strip club after finishing another heist. I'm low on health and figure I'll go and get a hooker. I'm in the "Escalade" knock off and go and pick one up. We then go to some random alley, where we proceed to give me my 70 dollar worth. Well she's almost done and some bum walks up to the car and starts looking and talking all kinds of randomness... hahaha "Im next!?!?" I fell out. After she was done she got out and proceeded to beat the living hell out of him. Was pure awesome.

    Too funny man! I love it when the GPS is on and the voice is telling you when to turn then you hear the "ding-dong" and she tells you to turn again. Except one time (and the only time I have heard it) the lady voice actually says "ding dong". It was so random and it catches you so off guard that it just makes you laugh out loud. My kids are still talking about it and it happened three days ago. Never heard her do it again.

    I'll have to turn the voice on as I'm not getting that.

    I really like the driving details in terms of if you turn left, you can see Niko turn the wheel when he backs up, he puts his arm around the passenger seat and looks backwards. This is a great little detail. BTW don't try to car surf on a cop car, you'l get wanted ** right away.


    Has anyone moved on from Michelle ? ( not talking hookers either )

    If you want a good gun, there is some heavy security at the airport that you can take out.

    Yeah, Kate an Kiki (who I'm keeping). Kate is McCreary's younger sister and won't put out. You just have to keep her happy and you'll get the goods eventually. Btw.. she likes semi nice jean, not your carhart or wrangler style or color. She also likes white shoes and the top doesn't really matter. Try driving a Banshee (Viper Knockoff) or the one that start with an I - but looks like an Infiniti. She's easier to coax in that way.
