GTA V Announced

And they help with some of the skill-building...
Like the smuggling operation helps building Trevors flying and driving skills...
and it can be a nice diversion from the regulair missions...
 
The cheesy Non-Stop Pop FM is arguably the best radio station with the most personality (with its DJ and track selection) and if they have a semi-sequel/add on, here's my ideas for its embarrassing music selections:

Non-Stop Pop FM

Royksopp - "Remind Me" (Geico Version)
Hanson - "MMMBop"
Deee-Lite - "Groove Is In The Heart"
Gorillaz - "Dare"
Sophie B. Hawkins - "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover"
Rick Astley - "Together Forever"
Snap! - "Rhythm is a Dancer "
Booty Luv - "Shine"
New Radicals - "You Get What You Give"
Adam Rickitt - "I Breathe Again"
Livin' Joy - "Don't Stop Movin"
Pet Shop Boys - "What Have I Done To Deserve This?"
The Shamen - "L.S.I: Love Sex Intelligence"
Billie - "Because We Want To"
Cornershop - "Brimful of Asha"

What do you think?
 
I like Radio Mirror Park, you guys have probably never heard of it.

I got 100% completion over the weekend, which isn't really 100% this time around for some reason. You only have to do half the stunt jumps, under the bridges, and knife flights, you don't have to do some of the Strangers and Freaks missions (such as the hidden Epsilon Program missions), and while you have to collect all the letter scraps and spaceship parts, you don't have to find all the underwater collectables. I went ahead and did everything anyway because I'm that sort of obsessive.

Having completed everything in single-player, I was going to try out the online yesterday but it was down. I think I might hold off on GTA:O for a few weeks until they sort out the problems and tweak the gameplay some more, because it sounds like a mess right now.
 
I've been replaying the game and stumbled across a secret mission I hadn't heard about before. If you drop off four hitch-hikers to the Altruist cult as Trevor...

...the Altruists kidnap Trevor and attempt to kill him in a ritual sacrifice. Trevor manages to get a gun and you have to wipe out the Altruist cult, leaving the compound empty for the rest of the game. There's also $125,000 in cash to find there, and a respawning rocket launcher.
 
^Yeah, driving around for many minutes/a few hours activates a lot of events and characters including
Packie, who helps in your heists, although in my case I rescued a young Hispanic woman who helped in my heists instead and was pretty cheap 'n helpful.

I really liked the mostly inspired choices for GTA V's arguably strongest radio station, Los Santos Rock Radio, so here is my choice for a similar soundtrack:

Los Santos Rock Radio



David Bowie - "Heroes"
Roxy Music - "Virginia Plains"
Power Station - "We Fight For Love"
Lisa Lougheed - "Run With Us"
The Stranglers - "No More Heroes"
The Knack - "My Sharona"
The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown - "Fire"
Steve Winwood - "Valerie"
Genesis - "Land Of Confusion"
a-ha - "The Sun Always Shines On TV"
Caravan - "In The Land Of Grey And Pink"
Queen - "A Kind Of Magic" (Highlander Version)
10cc - "The Wall Street Shuffle"
Abba - "Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie (A Man After Midnight)"
Toto - "Rosanna"
Fleetwood Mac - "The Chain"
Whitesnake - "Here I Go Again"
The Sisters Of Mercy - "This Corrosion"
The Doors - "End Of The Night"
Prefab Sprout - "The King of Rock 'N' Roll"
The Scorpions - "No One Like You"
The Jeff Healey Band - "I'm Torn Down"
Chris Rea - "The Road To Hell"

Finished the main game today with the majority of the Freaks & Strangers missions done as well...
I picked option C. Very satisfying ending...
Very good story...
 
If you're looking for a way to make easy money, the Badger stock (BDG on Bawsaq) has been regularly fluctuating between $4 and $8 for the last few weeks. Buy as much of the stock as possible if you see it in the $4-5 range then sell when it approaches $7-8 and you'll get a significant return. I did it a few times over the last week and took Trevor from $31 million to $135 million. One more time and I'll have enough to buy the golf course to "complete" my save.
 
Anyone want to do some GTA Online? My Xbox gamertag is FalcoPhoenix808. I works straight 40 during the week, only available weekends mostly.
