  1. @Cheez It, Sorry man but I'm pretty sure they're meant to be working for the FIB, in snatching the dude from the IAA. They did mention in some of the previews that came out at the end of last year that the FIB building was across from the IAA building which would explain the screenshot below and the confusion it may have caused. but you'll notice from a different angle, that the IAA building is just behind it. I've already quoted the Gi article where they state that they were snatching the guy from the IAA above but here's a quote from the guardian's preview: @Tanner most of what was covered in the article is pretty well known and documented. The GI article was just more detailed than many of the others that came out end of last year.
  2. Good eye Tanner. When Game Informer had that huge preview last December, they talked about that mission where Michael repels down the IAA building to kidnap some dude called Brad. This may have been mentioned earlier or on another post, but I've been thorough and I haven't seen anybody mention this: The mission preview alone is so long that I'm not going to type it into quotes, and I can't find the article anywhere online so I'll explain what seems to be interesting about this Brad guy. Brad is being held by the IAA, which according to the article is GTA's equivalent of the CIA. He's being interrogated by a woman who's threatening to sodomize him with an 18-inch flashlight, then proceeds to smash his fingers with it. All the while, Brad is insisting that he merely "installs camera equipment, not surveillance!" When we look at Michael's trailer again we see this: The logo marked in red makes it look like the logo of US federal agency, the psycho interrogator lady is marked in green, and you can see a flashlight on the table marked in blue. After seeing Brad being further tortured by Trevor, I can't help but wonder what this poor bastard's done (or seen).
  3. This article suggests the University reported it. I didn't care much for the writer either, although I did agree with a lot of what he was saying, his sarcastic opinionated tone just really made me want to prove him wrong and wipe that smug look off his face (I'd imagine). Don't know if you guys got that stupid catch the cockroach FOR A FREE IPAD 2 ad (isn't the ipad 2 pretty old by now) that also made the article really hard to read and certainly made me all jittery. Lanker-Simon never said she was raped, just created a fake facebook post to suggest that she's attractive and her political opponents are misogynist idiots. It's like a nerd creating a fake online profile of a girl who's madly in love with him and he's the best D&D game master ever. She's a pathetic loser, yes. An attention whore, absolutely (she even asked that the post not be taken down). A rape victim pretender? Not really just a shallow, lonely fool that created a huge mess just because she wanted to get some sympathy. At least she didn't destroy anyone else's life. As for pretending to be a rape victim goes, well that's just awful. Not just for the accused rapist, but actual rape victims as well. The last thing a rape victim needs, is for there to be any doubt that she's been raped. If feminists can't sympathize with men falsely accused of being rapists, then they can at least understand this.

    Saints Row

    New Saint's Row 4 trailer just released:
  5. I'm hoping for some kind of underwater harpoon fishing. Underwater exploration sounds so exciting, but without being able to defend ourselves from sharks would make it a pain in the ass.
  6. Thanks Beatnik and gtagrl, I'll definitely check those books out. I'll order them now and hopefully be done with the book I'm reading now.
  7. I really liked the assassination in IV too, and I'm hoping they would come back with some of the planning stuff we can do for the heist missions. It would be like an open world Hitman game!!!
  8. - Max Payne. Okay so it's not a GTA quote but at least it's still Rockstar related.
  9. I never really got into English literature outside of required reading for school, until recently. I read a couple of novels here and there that used to belong to my sister, until she got married and moved away. I got into a phase a couple of years ago, where I was obsessed with Medieval Arabic poetry, which isn't as obscure as it sounds. It's far superior than the crap that is Arabic poetry today, despite the fact that I do find it hilariously entertaining. I like reading the idiotic ramblings of vain aristocrats, judging and laughing at them, I guess it's why I never had the balls to write any poetry myself. I did however start writing short stories in my spare time about whacky and strange super heroes; A machete wielding Shawarma-man, that prepares delicious shawarmas by day, and slaughters dragons by night. Also a female ninja jeweler assassin that hunts immortal aliens that arrived on Earth during WWII and disguised themselves as Nazis that continue to terrify the world long after their humanly flesh disguises have begun to rot (a justification for combining zombies, nazis, and aliens in one evil menace), our heroin is part of a sacred order sworn to protect humanity using an arsenal of tools and weapons disguised as jewelry. I wrote these in English to improve my language skills, and if I do ever publish these, I want to get mass appeal. Because English is my second language, I think the stories are not that good. An American friend from college has been suggesting books for me to pick up to help tell better stories and I just started reading A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole, which is absolutely hilarious. It's not very helpful in writing about zombies and stuff but it's still a great read. Ignatius J. Reilly must be one of the oldest socially awkward slackers in modern pop-culture, he reminded me of a more moronic George Costanza. Any suggestion from you guys for getting started in fiction and fantasy would be most welcome.
  10. I actually used to go to this club and one of the owners would intervene if he caught people smoking or doing rails. I don't think it's too far-fetched. Besides, lots of owners work for their businesses, especially when they're trying to get the place up and running. Maybe you get to do it a number of times before you start turning a larger profit, then you could choose to work there or not. Kind of like the side-missions in SA.
  11. Hmph. I almost started a topic (again) to find that someone had created it already. Now that we know that we will be able to purchase businesses, I think it would be safe to assume we will be able to work jobs to get these businesses started (think SA and VC). From the previews I've read so far, the businesses mentioned are taxi depot, night-club, and Marina. I guess we'll be picking up and dropping off fares should we but the taxi depot, do night-club security similar go TBOGT, as for the Marina.... Maybe something involving underwater exploration? Or boat races? What do you guys think?
  12. The previews answered a lot of questions. Not much to speculate about I guess.
  13. If we will need to spend money on prep work for the big heists (crew, vehicles, weapons), and all the players have their own money, who will pay for all the heist stuff? Maybe some sort of heist money pool?
  14. I think you're on to something here.. The "eye" to the left of Michael's head is from the eyefind.info search engine from GTA IV. It was sort of like the GTA equivalent of Google. I think the "Los Santos" or whatever part below might be an address and under the address is the name of the jewelry store. The name of the jewelry store is also in blue font so it could link you the store's website. I looking up an address to a place in the game can provide you with tons of information and maybe even blueprints for planning the heists. Good find GS you've got some pretty good insights.
  15. There isn't anything confirmed, I was merely speculating that there may be joint safehouses in the game that work as a hideout/base of operation type place. Somewhere to store vehicles and maybe weapons meant for the heists and missions the crew will be carrying out. Since we now know we'll be able to plan for the heists, the gang should have a safe place for them to get organized. It might be possible that one of the three buys a property, but all three have access to store vehicles and whatever in it.
  16. I think you're right Tanner. I think Michael buys the Sentinel at the start of the game from these Armenians, and then he meets Franklin. Wonder if that means we can buy cars in the game
  17. I think Franklin is driving the Infernus, if so, could it be that the dealership Michael is kicking some ass in is the place Franklin works in? Maybe the bald guy Michael is introducing his elbow to is Franklin's Armenian employer. What do you guys think?
  18. Holy fucking shit!! If I had any doubt that Trevor would be my favorite, it just melted away!!!!! He's my new role model. They were all spectacular though.
  19. Thanks! I didn't really think you'd post a picture. Can't say I see the resemblance though.
  20. A giant white ginger tall me? That sounds hilarious! I need to see this guy. I'm only 5'9 btw.
  21. There are lots of Mid-Easterners in the UK that's for sure.
