Ah, you said from the phone but it seems you meant the "pause" menu. Well that's nice to know, thank you. Finally some nice info in this thread.

Here's some cool info: If you do a solo race in the game and it fails to load the world record time (happens very often) your time will be counted as a world record towards the award that unlocks the special tattoo for holding a world record.

Nope, you can do that on the phone aswell ;) It's the left icon.

So apparently knocking off an armored car is worth like 9000 dollars. Gets you a 3 star wanted level which can be a bit hard to get away but doable.

Here's some cool info: You can very easily escape the cops by driving down into a train/tram tunnel. Just follow the tracks. Once you hit level 21 (thank you guy who said it was level dependent) you can call Lester to have him remove your wanted status for $500.

So me and a bunch of other goons (Illigan, CascadeGamma, McSuds, BBBQlovin) decided to try and fly helicopters intot he military and figured out there is a hill that you can jump cars into it. We stole some jets and a bunch of tanks and basically blew up the place. Morale of the story you should be seeking out goons online because holy poo poo is it crazy fun.

Real cute, except I was playing fine yesterday and didn't see a terrible amount of unable to connects on the PS3 side post patch.

PS3 has been broken a lot longer than 360. People are probably a bit tired from trying.

However, his point is that there is no reason to come in here and ask, "Hey guys, is it down?" When Rockstar has been having issues for days now. Yes, it probably is down, especially if you've already gotten in and played. No one is really complaining about poo poo breaking after they're through the online tutorial, aside from lost saves(which is impatience due to the cloud being unavailable).

You can always play in a closed session if you don't want other players messing with you. You don't get it both ways(no one to mess with).

Hey I was in on that military base raid. It was really fun even though I kept getting iced.
The Corrupt Cop session where all the police were stacked on top of the contraband was way fun too. Too bad dathmatches suck so bad.

The river getaway was a very, very bad idea.

Later i'm going to try creating a playlist out of missions. i hate coming out of a mission and being greeted by nothing but 3 pages of deathmatches for the next round.

I'm CascadeGamma in game. I ended up leaving a bit after you froze out. It was great fun, holy poo poo. Just watching McSuds jump onto a moving tank commando style and steal it to start things off was absolutely crazy. We had that poo poo locked down for like half an hour.

I bought one of the 15k motorcycles and could insure it fine, so I'm not sure what issue you're having.

Any vehicle you buy has insurance on it already, doesn't it? Or is that just the freebie RH8?

Everything I have bought has had insurance already.

Also, I am not getting grinding Base Invaders... Seems way more time consuming and deadly, cannot see how it's more effective than Duct, maybe after the patch takes out deaths costing you, but even then I feel like Duct is gonna be better. The vid I saw says you can do it in 3-4 minutes but that doesn't include the flight there or back, I'm guessing a successful run is gonna take at least 7 minutes. Also, it says 1-4 people and only 2 can get in the plane lol. Tried it twice last night, didnt succeed. Seems like Duct is better imo.

I logged in this morning and was missing about $200K. A couple hours worth of violent duct farming last night gone into the cloud. If anyone wants to do some more today, I'd be more than happy to join in. I was going to log in and buy an apartment this morning. I also lost five levels. Great.

I've mostly been grinding the Survival mission you get when you unlock Trevor at the old hangar with the wrecked airplane. Good money and great RP when you can get to wave 7+ consistently (which is piss easy when youre not playing with total morons, because theres one location where you're protected from everything but point blank fire).

Spoilers: Stuff you unlock at about Rank 20.

You'd have lost the $200k either way, though this way you just lost it rather than spending it and having your apartment vanish instead.

I mean bicycles not motorcycles yeah. Also they can be destroyed I had a BMX bike fall into the water and it said it was destroyed. Luckily that thing was only 800 bucks.

I only saw 1 Armored car so far but I didn't unlock them until a little bit ago so no idea.

Edit: Also I don't think the upgrading engine and stuff is supposed to be that class of car just won races total. I have about 40 wins / 40 losses total and have almost every upgrade unlocked on SUV's even though I though I have never once raced an SUV or anything considered a truck. It says I need 10 more wins for the final level of upgrade.
