Patters Posted September 29, 2009 I'm up for it. Especially now I have a 360 that works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Posted September 29, 2009 I'll be there, but I won't be next week. I feel you all need to know so you can prepare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonCole Posted September 29, 2009 So, I'm a little LTTP, what exactly is all this GTA business that you guys take part in? The thirty other topics are a little intimidating and I don't like to do heavy browsing on my netbook. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The thirty other topics are a little intimidating and I don't like to do heavy browsing on my netbook. Usually we do a few deathmatches, races and cops and robbers. That's all really.

The thirty other topics are a little intimidating and I don't like to do heavy browsing on my netbook. We're playing GTA multiplayer on Xbox Live every Tuesday at, uh... 21:00 GMT, I think it is. No skills required other than awesome social skills like those of myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JonCole Posted September 29, 2009 If that's... 4:00 PM EDT, which it should be if I did my time conversions correctly, I might join in. Haven't played that game in ages, though, so I should probably refresh myself on the control scheme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waste your time looking through the stupidly long list on this page instead! Or trust the button that uses a JavaScript function that apparently isn't especially reliable! Hooray!

miffy495 Posted September 29, 2009 Amazing last two races. Note to everyone: If James says he wants to go to the park with you, IT'S A FUCKING TRAP. Where the fuck were you, 'blix? That was a fantastic game today, mostly because of the final couple of runs. Doing a quadruple flip over a massive roadblock in a sportscar, landing on my wheels, and powering through the whole race to come within a few meters of first place was exhilarating. All this after spending the first two minutes of the race pinned under James' merciless stream of fire-engine-justice. Also, guest starring Bronstring Marek Bronstring. Pleasure to play with you, sir. Hope to see you again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Posted September 29, 2009 Yeah, it was a very good evening. I'm glad we went out on such a high. It was also a pleasure to witness Marek's expert covert ops skills. Hopefully we'll see him again soon. In summary: Awesome. That page is amazing! You should be like a scientist or something! I looked up a couple of PHP functions! I'm the best!

Marek Posted September 29, 2009 That was great fun! Thanks Thunderpeel (I think) for inviting me to the game. I'll try to make it next time too. I had a bit of trouble matching different voices with different nicknames and I was generally a bit disoriented but I'm glad I got to crush some people with a bus and stuff. Covert ops skills = me going to the toilet. So yeah I'm pretty good at that covert ops shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, it was almost constantly a little bit of "so, there are at least two British guys, and those dudes are... someone. oh, yeah, patters is a british dude, i remember that much?" Hopefully that'll be remedied after a couple more sessions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Posted September 30, 2009 So we're a bunch of Nicks and Jakes? I must confess that I have on occasion confused Miffy and n0wak. Not often, but every now and then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted September 30, 2009 Well, we are both Canadian, but he clearly has an Greater-Toronto-Area Canadian accent whereas I have a Western Canadian accent. (Ha! Now all you British people can feel as ignorant as we do when you discuss regional dialects!) On the subject of voices: By now I've got Wrestle and James down (got you two mixed up a lot early on, but I've gotten a lot better) and so I know Patters as "that british guy who's voice I don't recognize right away." Thunderpeel is also British, but sounds different in a way that I can get it right away but not quite know why. Jon, by process of elimination, you were the American. That pretty much everyone? With both Wrestle and n0wak out this week, it should have been a little easier for newcomers, but that's just based on my own assumptions. All newcomers, when Grippage returns, beware the brothers 'blix. When toblix plays, he's pretty easy to pick out of the voices (listen for the screams) but he and his brother do sound a bit alike. Also, they tend to wreak havoc in the most ridiculous ways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Korax Posted September 30, 2009 I might have to throw my boorish American voice in next week. I didn't play too much when the game first came out (for reasons that would fill up a good chunk of space with my ranting), but now that the release schedule is winding down, I'm going through my backlog.

toblix Posted September 30, 2009 Sorry, but I did warn you on Twitter, the social medium everyone's jazzing about. Also, when my brother's back (in about six weeks?), expect him to be distinguishable by his thick Australian accent. I promise on the honour of my kin that I'll be there next week.

Patters Posted September 30, 2009 Cracking games, probably the best GTA I have played, particularly the last race, being first for half of it then being "taken to the park" by james putting me back into 3rd Then realising when Actionshakespere and Miffy finished that I needed to to (at that point I was 5 or so minutes behind) On my last lap James and Thunderpeel shooting my "deathproof" car till it was on fire then me attempting to take them down by braking into them next to the wall, and bailing, it nearly worked and looked spectacular. then being over taken by Jon for James to take him out again giving me third (just). Phantom races should be a regular occurrence. On another note my week old 360 is fucked, the harddrive is dead, and the disc tray is reasonably dodgy. Going to take it back today.
