I heard Ron make a comment and he missed Lazlow, something about friends in game?
Is that o&a or is that ron ? Thanks Buddays!

They talked previously about an upcoming game that had at least the voices of Ron, Fez and Dave. No official announcement yet.

Both Ron and Fez have briefly mentioned that they recorded something for Lazlow. Fez even said that he almost had an anxiety attack due to the tiny studio. Dave may have also recorded but I'm not positive.

Chimee

O&A and a bunch of the comedians of the show are going to be in Grand Theft Auto 4. I think this close to the release, Ron and Fez would have said something about being in that game. Of course, they could just want to keep everyone in suspense until the game comes out.

Lazlow also does shit for alot of games. It could be GTA 4 but it could be another game like how he put Norton in Bully

No need to unblock. It's in the ringtone pack in the file library. The Dave scream in there can be cut up so his initial yelps can signal either text or voicemails.

I dont think its gonna have the same silly type shit in GTA4 that the old ones had. They seem to be hammering the point that the game is supposed to be much more serious, at least the main part of it and the graphics and that. There is supposed to be alot more interaction with pedestrians now though.

Norton was a cop in one of the areas of the game. He didn't have a major role, but he did have some funny lines.

And I'm pretty sure that was also the game where Steve C. was a construction worker.

I'm pretty sure that they confirmed they're in the game when Lazlow stopped in on Thurs. I know Opie, Ant and Jimmy had pretty big parts (Ant even sings a beer jingle at some point). They mentioned Steve C, Bob Kelly and even Ricky Gervais making an appearance. I don't remember Dave's name coming up. I have to wait for the PC version. I'm not buying a $500 game system just to play one game. Lazlow said they have no idea when the PC version is coming out though. :furious:

Ronnie B plays a Fire Chief in the game. You can just start a fire and he will show up. I haven't heard what Fezzy does, but he is in it and you'll know him when you hear it because he's just doing his "Fez" voice.

And Norton is a guy in a porn shop who spouts off about his favorite hair stylings for womens nether regions

I preordered mine @ Blockbuster on a whim. They'll be open at midnight, I sure as hell am not standing on line, if I have to I'll wait until the morning. Hopefully, I'm thinking people won't think to go to Blockbuster to get the home though.

They still have Blockbuster? Guess not all of the stores have closed yet. I live by a Circuit City, Target and Walmart, and another half block to a Software Etc. I may run out during lunch to buy it to play after work.

I'm the same way now, I used to preorder all the big games with excitement. I intended in just walking in and buying GTA, but it wasn't out, since I was there already is the only reason I reserved it.

Try an ordinary CD/DVD lens cleaner before you go to the extreme of replacing the drive.

They're similar but they are not ordinary SATA PC DVD drives, they're manufactured just for the 360. You would need to go on ebay or classified adds to find a 360 replacement drive. After that you would need to jimmy both the old and new drives to flash/clone the Unique ID to marry it to your Xbox. Unless you're real computer savvy you'd need a shady character to do it.

It's not just a drive read error. For weeks leading up to this, the drive would periodically not open or close. I'd have to shut the system down, hold the drive button while powering up, and pray. Then it wouldn't close. Now I have the drive read error.

I'm considering trading it in and upgrading to an elite.

Luckily, I have the PS3 and will have GTA4 to keep me busy on that.

Sounds bad but maybe it's as simple as the power or Sata connector is loose.

Depending on the exact situation there's a bunch of videos on youtube about drives not opening:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ufc9ckbhr8Q&feature=related

if it's not under warranty you could try opening it up and checking to see if the power or sata cables are loose. It's not that difficult.

You won't get much for a trade in if the drive is broken, you're better off finding someone to fix it. Someone would charge you about 50$ to swap drives if you provide them with a new one.

It's apparently not under warranty. I ran a DVD cleaner through it and it works on my newer discs. Shains have conferred and if available, we will need to purchase both PS3 and 360 versions of GTA4 to eliminate inevitable marital problems when we both want to play the game at the same time. Hopefully there will be a 360 version available for purchase tonight.

There is a 3 year warranty for RROD. Not sure if it's a RROD? Thats ok, just head over to the Xbox support page and fill out their repair form and claim you have a RROD. They will send you a box for you to ship out.

For those that get it, I have a question on your opinion about gameplay at night.

Does anyone else have problems seeing when it gets dark and there are minimal lights around? Granted, I know it's supposed to be dark, but it's annoying when you lose Niko and can't find where he is or what direction he's facing. I can't see shit at night and frankly it's a little discouraging since I never had a problem seeing at night in VC and SA.

press start, goto display, adjust the brightness. If you have a rear projection tv that's normal.

There have been a lot of posts on gaming sites about the darkness, but it is easily fixed by setting the brightness in game.


Yeah, I knew about those settings. I did up them a bit which made it a little better, but not much. I'm afraid going too high will make the picture looked washed out.

I did read that on the PS3, if you have it set at RGB Full (which I do), you should set it to RGB Limited instead. I'm gonna give that a shot later.

Is anyone having the freezing problem listed on ps3fanboy.com (http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/29/gta-iv-freezes-sometimes-but-theres-a-fix/)?

It's only supposed to apply to the 60GB model (which I have) I still haven't picked up my copy yet, hopefully it's waiting at home for me at the end of the work day.

If their servers don't crash on Day 1 from the amount of people who will undoubtedly swarm to this feature, then I will be extremely impressed. I'm predicting major server failure though.

And people are already reporting that they can't get online to play and that servers are down.

I recently restarted my game because I ran out of money as it's so scarce and I couldn't do anything with Roman or Michelle.

My question is did she like the bar? On my first run through, I took her bowling twice and then made the mistake of taking her to some Russian night club that she hated. Do yourselves a favor and stay away from there with her.

I think she is a narc anyways...constantly asking about Nico's background and being so evasive about her background. There has to be a wilder chick later on in the game to waste booze money on.

I nailed Michelle after two dates, once bowling and then an irish bar where Niko was drunk and that driving was awful difficult

Driving is hard and not the cartoony-ish driving of the other ones and the braking is tough to get done, that and the view you cant see over the top of the car for the most part meaning i crash into lots of things, and i had to switch to the classic controls because stupid saints row had me all screwed up

Awesome. When I get home I'll take her to the bar. Last night when I took her bowling, the date went well even though I trashed her car, ran over a cop on the boardwalk, and had to evade the police. She's still hanging, so I hope to fuck her tonight. I do need money, though, and these cops are way too sensitive.

Run over some randos to get money thats how i racked up a good amount

And dont ignore Roman, i am to the point where he trusts me and i can do some pick up fares for him to earn some cash but havent done that yet

Also you can earn some good cash doing missions for Little Jacob plus picking up some guns, and the shooting is a bit weird and takes some time to get used to

I played about 2 hours last night. Fun so far.

I have to above with the above where it's tough to see over the top of the car at times, and I try to lift the camera a bit, but it sinks back down as you drive.

And I did Bleed Out, the first time I just beat Dardan to the ground and it said get back to the car, which I then promptly destroyed. When I redid the mission, I had the knife, cut him down quick and happened to hit kick just as he was getting up and it told me to get back to the car, sending him thru the window.

I think it's also interesting that the missions now branch. I was about to pick up Michelle the first time when Roman called, so I picked her up thinking Roman's mission would be there when I was done, but it spawned a different mission to pick up Roman.

I gotta say that I also liked the brighter palette of the previous games. Sometimes it's hard to see things in the textures for me, especially at night. I may need to adjust the brightness a bit, but things just blend at times for me.

I FOUND RON!!!! You're going to feel stupid when I tell you how... it's so simple. Get your phone, and call 911. Then you get a recording, telling you to hit 1 for police, 2 for ambulance, 3 for fire. Hit 3, Ron will show up in seconds. But if there is no real fire, he says, "must be a prank," and leaves. Then if you call him again to the same spot, he will not come. The trick is to start a fire, and then call him, so he sticks around.

Then you get a recording, telling you to hit 1 for police, 2 for ambulance, 3 for fire. Hit 3, Ron will show up in seconds. But if there is no real fire, he says, "must be a prank," and leaves. Then if you call him again to the same spot, he will not come. The trick is to start a fire, and then call him, so he sticks around.

Awesome. Hopefully someone can get this on video.

I bought it on your advice! I demand payment!

But really, I wish COD4 had the peaking around the corner thing like R6LV:2.

I also think that playing it after COD4 may have made it seem much worse than it is.

Hehe, I hit that Michelle too. Second and third dates. Then I took her to the strip club, and got in a fight, ran across the bridge through roadblocks in a shitty car, and I blew her ass up as I bailed from the fiery wreck. The funny thing was, she called me to pick her up from the hospital a few hours later!.. Amazing.

Oh, and I wish I could sell back shit at the gun store. I thought sniper ammo was 8 bucks, and it was 800. Bah..

I love hearing fezzy on the radio. I gotta call Ronny now.


After playing COD4 a while, I find the controls to be weird on GTA. I keep pressing the stick to sprint. COD is clearly and FPS, and GTA is more sim. Both are awesome, at what they do.

If your PS3 locks, up and / or your game won't load, log out of PSN and it should load. There is some problem with the online connection that is causing the game to freeze while saving or loading. Similar deal with XBOX. Apparently Rockstar is working on a fix

Now go kill a hooker

PS3 is going to get DL content related to Home and crap, but not new cities.

I have both versions. I'm playing on 360 and jeff is on PS3. I played at first on PS3 until Jeff got too into it. The only difference is the load times, and it's annoying on 360 after playing on the PS3 with minimal load times.

You can always drop an invite. It may just take me a while to get to a save point and jump in.


Actually, that's a question I've had... Does the autosave actually work right so I can go multiplayer/turn off the console and when I load back up pick up after that mission, or do I have to drive down to the safe house every time I want to quit? I've been driving to the safe house just to be safe.

Rented this on Saturday as my finances are a bit tight (amazed to find it in stock). Enjoying it so far, made it to the second island but for some reason it's not grabbing me quite like GTA3 and Vice City did. San Andreas was the same way I played it for a while but just didn't keep me coming back for more and more so I sold it after about a month.
GTA IV is definitely a great game though just not as groundbreaking as GTA3 and I loved the 80's setting of Vice City.

You come to the point where you have to pick to kill either Playboy X or Duane. If you kill Duane, you get some $$$, but lose contact with X. If you kill X, you get his apartment. If you get full friendship with Duane, he provides you with backup. I say kill X

GTA San Andreas was the only GTA that was able to keep me interested all the way to the end of the game... Vice City's driving was unbearable for me to get through because you only had one perspective you could watch... and I couldn't beat the part with the suicide bombers in GTA III.

I wish that people we know from 202 would get bigger roles in GTA- maybe next edition we'll be taking missions from Mr.Bennington+ friends.

I don't think you have to shoot the window. I think you just pick up a brick, throw it thru the window and the mission is over. L1 on (PS3) picks up a brick, L2 to throw it. It shows you where the brick is on the map.
