Because GTA IV can be more fickle than Scarlett O'Hara in the Civil War, I'll be hosting GTA IV tonight. We'll start at 22:00 GMT/23:00 CET and we'll keep on playing right into the regular FNF. I normally hate mentioning my line/link/intertube in fear of ePenis comparisons, but it seems that GTA likes EU 100mbit more than regular DSL and whatnot. Therefore, I'm gonna keep hosting the thing up to around 10-11 pm EST for our American brothers as well.
Anyone is welcome at any time from the EU FNF onwards. I believe Snaileb is recruiting some people stateside to play early, so hopefully we'll be able to get some 16 player deathmatch going on straight away!
For this FNF, there are a couple of little 'achievements' we could aim for:
- Getting a ton of Icecream trucks (or other fun/ridiculous vehicles) in order to fill the airport carpark so that only those spawn there
- Getting as many choppers as we can, hover two of them waaay up high over TIMES SQUARE and then have as many people jump onto the rotors as we call. Let's see how far we'll fly over the map! If someone could capture everyone flying on the map (Reaprar?), that would be awesome. I want to see colored dots flying all over the map :)
- Finding two garbage trucks or something similar, have people hang on the sides... and then ramming into eachother. If you manage to hit someome of the other group in mid-air, you will be rewarded with RapeDollars ($_$). These can be exchanged for time with RiserGlen's sister.
- ?
Leave your gamertag in the comments if you want to join, or add me: Looooongcat (5x o) . Any suggestions for epic stuff to do are most welcome as well.
Also, I hear last week's FNF led to some troubles with connections and stuff? I don't know how everyone ended up joining our long-running EUFNF game, but apparently people had issues getting together when I went to sleep. If things stay fun and people want to keep playing, I'm willing to leave the 360 on for the night just to host it.
I bet that will only work in unlimited Free Mode though, since the host has to press A at some points in other modes? Anyway, we'll see how it goes in euro late-night zone and take it from there.
my first plan is to go out drinking and doing blow with hot models. Partying till the sin comes up. If that falls through, I will get down with you guys tho.
I'm going to leave work early and get in on this, since I'm never around for the American FNF.
I haven't played with anyone from Dtoid online yet, so I'm not sure what the procedure is here. Do I just message one of you for an invite? What is your GT, Pew?
@Char Aznable: my GT is Looooongcat. I made it bold in the post now so it's a little clearer :)
Looks like we already have 10 people so far. Snaileb, what do you think would work best? Shall we just invite other dtoiders on the fly for the open spots that are available when we start the game? I don't want to let people down in a full room and everything. I don't know how many people you can get to play either :)
I still have to do some shit for uni, so I'm not in IRC at the moment. But feel free to gtalk/mail me if you want to organize some stuff beforehand.
I'm just a passenger in this ride Prof., but as far as I know there should be dozens of dtoiders playing GTA. So I'm sure there will be some extra rooms to pick up the slack.
Ok sweet, things should go smoothly then. And no way are you just a passenger, you are now Grand Moff Snaileb of the Western Teetees Empire. Good luck outliving Piett!
I'm working the early shift since 6am CET, so I wasn't able to join in, next week I'll be at the nurburgring for the 24hours-race, so I won't be able to join in either :-(

Don't forget : Everyone (16 people even) grabbing a Heli and playing chicken hundreds of feet above times square. That was fun!

I can't wait to fuck around on GTA now with people instead of fucking around on GTA on it's own.
