Darn. I really wanted a PC version but just couldn't wait. Of course they wait until us PC players bought a console version hoping we would double dip. I think I'll be passing.

To be fair, doesn't this follow the same pattern of the previous 4 main games?

True, just with Red Dead, I wasn't sure they would and if so, how much later.

wasn't GTA IV really horrible on PC? I remember reading literally hundreds of complaints on Amazon etc because a lot of people couldn't get it running properly.

Had a fun experience this morning. I was waiting for someone to come out of a clothing shop to take them out. He wouldn't come out, spent about 5 minutes in there. Then he decided to put a $9000 bounty on my head. A few players were heading my way, so I left the scene. He then tried to follow me, I'm guessing you can get your own bounty back?

I ended up grabbing a helicopter and I went to the tallest building. He caught up to me and ran around the building looking for me, until he gave up and left the session. Then there were other players trying to find me around the building not figuring it out. One guy got smart and got a helicopter and came after me. But he wasn't that smart, not realizing that I could just shoot him out as he approached. He died and the helicopter crashed into the side of the building. It was a good 20 minutes of this before everyone gave up

Also, I'd like to see if we can get a crew together some night. Dealing with random people who screw up jobs is getting old. Anyone interested? Like a Sunday evening or something?

And for those who didn't see the other post and want to join, our crew is here:

http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/crew/calgarypuck/

Also for those unaware, if you played online in October, Rockstar is depositing $500k into your bank account as their way of saying sorry for the glitches: http://www.rockstargames.com/V/news/...kage-this.html

Trevor's run in with the crazy workout lady Mary Ann may be my favorite side mission to date. I was having trouble with the bike race I was laughing so hard

It is never boring switching to Trevor. One time he woke up on a remote island beach in his tighty whiteys surrounded by dead bodies. Another he woke up on top of a mountain wearing a dress, swearing vengeance on the deer that pissed on him. If I find myself playing as Michael or Franklin for awhile doing missions, I'll switch back to Trevor even if he doesn't have anything to do just to see where the hell I'll end up

The one that had me in stitches was Trevor on the scooter. He's following some guy who is also on a scooter. If you press B, the camera focuses on him as though he's an objective or target. Trevor doesn't actually do anything except keep on taunting him "Let's go, scooter brother! Scooter brotherrrrr!" non-stop until you finally lose the guy or kill him. I don't know why it was funny, but it was. This game just never stops impressing me, especially the Trevor character.

I learned the other day (reading an Edmonton journal, of all things) that the actor upon whom Trevor's character is based (both visual and voice) is Calgarian. Saweeeeeeeet! I wonder if that ties in to all of the Canadian jokes at all.

A fellow E. P. Scarlett grad too. He apparently would have been in grade 12 when I was in grade 10 there.

The best was Trevor in his underwear, standing over a couple who were sunbathing on the beach. The couple get freaked and run off and Trevor says "What? It'll wash off in the ocean."

Finally fired up online to give it a try. Xbox name is HemiCuda72, do we have a CP crew setup for the Xbox users already and if so could I get an invite?

I got the same one, but he said "All I want is a hug, that's not weird!" or something along those lines.

How much did you get from the final heist? I used this guide to the T and just cracked 1 Billion for each character, starting from my final heist take of 18m

After the assassination missions, the highest amount I had was $1.87bn for Michael, and $1.75-1.76bn for Franklin and Trevor. I would put ALL my cash into the stock market before each mission.

I've bought all the properties, and now I'm amassing a lot of custom vehicles. Bought a couple helicopters as well.
