Wrestlevania Posted September 9, 2009 (edited) So he got to it first and repeatedly spawnkilled you all? Horrible! Fixed. But yes, it was very, very funny. But not quite as funny as our fire truck racing shenanigans at the airport... ~ wibbly flashback effect ~ I'm well in the lead towards the end of lap two when my younger daughter suddenly bursts in declaring she needs the toilet. I tell her it's OK and usher her out to the loo, whereupon I turn back to the game and accidentally brush the 'Y' button by mistake. My character promptly bails out of the fire truck and cartwheels along the tarmac for a dozen-or-so feet before coming to a ragged, tangled stop (my fire truck ambling to a crawl in the background). By the time I get to my feet, bastard James has arrived on the scene and proceeds to blast me with water from his fire engine, effectively pinning me to the ground for several moments. After being washed off my feet for the third time, I notice a rapidly approaching spec on the horizon, heading straight towards our two fire engines. Turns out it's Patters, in a newly-procured sports car (his fire engine having likely been grenaded earlier on). And the bugger drives right over me at top speed and whizzes off into the distance! I couldn't breath I was laughing so much--absolutely brilliant. Edited September 9, 2009 by Wrestlevania Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

None the less great fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) So he got to it first and repeatedly spawnkilled you all? Magnificent! Yeah, I noticed an assault rifle icon on the mini-map immediately behind the start position, and banked on nobody else going for it. It seemed to be in the spirit of the game at first, but after I'd killed everyone at least once and continued to stick around shooting guys instead of starting to race I was definitely being a horrible dick. That did not discourage me. So he got to it first and repeatedly spawnkilled you all? Horrible! No, there was a fair group of you (five or six). It gradually diminished, though, until at the end I was just trying to make sure you never got anywhere. Edited September 10, 2009 by JamesM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garple Posted September 12, 2009 Ah ha! I didn't realise that was a Thumb, so ignored it--nothing personal! Adding you now... No worries. I went out on a limb when I made the requests (I was really new here). I didn't necessarily expect anyone to respond. I sent a voice-message to Jake and he added me, so now I get to know whenever he's watching a movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Posted September 12, 2009 Someone needs to tell me when your next bout of GTA tomfoolory is, this sounds amazing! Find your location or an equivalent in this list. Since we're a fairly Anglo-centric bunch, after the last Sunday in October we switch to GMT proper, which means it's an hour earlier (although you have to adjust for your local summer time situation, of course).

Action Shakespeare Posted September 14, 2009 Well that sucks, I have classes then...how long do these things go? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted September 14, 2009 2 to 3 hours depending on how people are feeling usually. Usually closer to 3. We'll happily take a latecomer though, so sign in and message someone who's in-game. They should be able to send you an invite when there's a lull in the action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Posted September 14, 2009 For me it's almost always almost exactly two hours: we start at nine (well it's usually some time before we actually get going) and I aim to leave at eleven. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Action Shakespeare Posted September 14, 2009 (edited) Well in that case I can probably make a game...though someone will probably need to add me to their friends list... Edited September 15, 2009 by Action Shakespeare Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrestlevania Posted September 15, 2009 T-minus ~7hrs! I'll only be able to play for a little bit though, as I need to help a friend out later tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
