Did T-Bone have some Varrios Los Aztecas mooks with him in that first mission? The gang Cesar used to be part of, with the turquoise bandanas. Never noticed that before.

I would not think there was anything going on at that factory with how barebones it was. Just a bunch of NPCs and empty tables.

 Episode 25: Through the Desert I know he says he wants to see what we're made of, but I'm still not sure how driving a monster truck through checkpoints is supposed to help with what we actually do in this guy's missions.

Considering the kinds of missions our not mystery man sends us on, you gotta establish a baseline for what your hired (or forcefully coerced in CJ's case) help can do and what their skills are. CJ is a pretty skilled guy for a rando gang member in the grand scheme of things. He's not even a professional criminal or ex soldier like the protagonists after him would be.

Ah yes, that part. Possibly the second worst section of the game. Funny how both of the worst parts of this game involves the same mechanic.

The fact that you can get a phone call during a mission iirc plays into how speedrunners break this game wide open. I'm not sure about the technicalities, but you can screw with the triggers something fierce if you activate an end of mission (or start of mission?) thing at the same time someone calls you, and skip ahead in the story like crazy.

Y'know, as someone who was born and lives in Scotland and is more than aware of the Forth Bridge, I never actually clicked that was it in San Andreas. Huh. The more you know.

The desert seems a lot more barren than the badlands were. How many villages are there with actual people out there?

There was both an AK and an RPG refill there during the helicopter mission, it looked like.

I thought part of the map stopped loading at that golf course. Green square and nothing around it at that draw distance.

Scalding Coffee posted:I thought part of the map stopped loading at that golf course. Green square and nothing around it at that draw distance. The video makes it look like I wasn't doing anything right because I mostly kept the entertaining bits, but the only thing I really had trouble with was getting gold in the Circle Airstrip test because I kept missing the gold time by fractions of a second (if your time is 60.01 seconds, the game rounds it up to 61). I could do the smoothest run anyone's ever seen around Verdant Meadows, and still get a silver by a split second. Usually, that's a sign of the frame limiter having to be turned on (or off), but obviously that's only an option on PC so I was pretty mystified as to why I just could not fly fast enough even on a seemingly perfect run. I think what was tripping me up was the fact I was too heavy on the throttle and kept slightly overshooting turns because I was still in the Supply Lines mindset of "oh god, I need to floor it!" You still need to be incredibly smooth on the controls because moving the stick even slightly too much will send you off course, and accelerating just makes that problem a lot worse. Finally getting the gold took about 90 minutes, which is roughly 90 attempts since one minute is the gold medal time. Practically all of those attempts were either getting a silver by a tiny margin, moving the analog stick a bit too fast and missing checkpoints, or "missing" checkpoints I clearly hit. If I had just gone for bronze or even silver or if the game rounded 60.01 seconds down instead of up, I'd have easily completed the school in 15 minutes or less.

Funny thing about this mission chain. This mandatory for completion mission chain. On the Xbox 360 version of the game, it is entirely possible for the lesson select to crash the game. Which is why I'll have to start from the beginning on a different console if I want to beat the game.

Of course, even if you do get past this, there's another story mission later on that also freezes the game. The video shows workarounds for that bug as well.

Copyright claims are very different from copyright strikes and usually just mean the copyright owner puts some ads on your video or it gets blocked in North Korea or whatever (worldwide blocks are generally for copyrighted video content). This is the first time since 2016 I've had to deal with a video getting blocked in a country where someone might actually watch it because of a ContentID claim for music.

Ah, didn't realize it was because of the radio as per usual in this case. Also that Apace flies like its way, waaaay too light.

God, flight school. I remember spending an entire session with the buddy I played this at desperately trying to get it to work, but the plane just would NOT behave. The solution? Turns out retracting the landing gear is not just cosmetic, the plane cannot rise too high and always auto-levels out with it extended. We had done the first few missions the day before then quit, so I had plain forgotten that it was a mechanic, and what the button for it was.

I have played WAY too much flight school, as my friends and brothers' friends all completely sucked at it so I've beaten it for half a dozen other people. Small movements and leveling off really delicately while maintaining speed is the trick to most of it, but much easier said than done. Still took me hours the first time through.

 Episode 27: Viva Las Venturas Oh, how I wish that there were more than the 24 hours in the day Even if I ran out of speed, boy, I wouldn't sleep a minute away Oh, there's blackjack and poker and the roulette wheel Fortunes won and lost on every deal All you need is sonar and nerves of steel So Viva Las Really, I think the Dead Kennedys version of Viva Las Vegas should've been on the soundtrack because it's the perfect theme song for the GTA version of Las Vegas. Having passed flight school with, uh, flying colors, we head to the glitter oasis of the desert to have a swinging time. Well, this is a side content episode so mostly we'll just explore the city, collect a bunch of junk, and learn to crash... I mean ride motorcycles in all kinds of exciting ways. I also know perfectly well how to pronounce Las Venturas, so I'm not sure why I keep calling it Lass Venturas.

I’d always understood the horseshoes contributed to a hidden stat which improved your chances at winning when gambling, both at the Venturas casinos and things like the horse racing.

I always found it frustrating that the car showroom and chop shop missions aren’t unlocked until you’ve already completed San Fierro and moved onto Venturas, so there’s little to backtrack to Fierro unless you want to go out of your way to do them. It might have been better to have done these missions at the beginning of Fierro to establish CJ’s garage, then move onto Woozie and the Loco Syndicate. Plus it players would have been more encouraged to do the chop shop missions if they could have done it during the Fierro missions.

Based on Cesar's dialogue during Test Drive, I think at least some of this stuff was originally meant to be available earlier because those "oh man I like it here in San Fierro, that The Truth guy you always hang out with is pretty weird though" lines don't seem to fit the actual part of the game we're in. We haven't even seen The Truth in the last 13 episodes.
