Is there a garage equivalent for boats? Cortez's offer to keep the speedboat would work better if you could actually, you know, keep it.

No. GTA V was the first to let you keep non-land vehicles without glitches. They work around this with some vehicles by just adding a respawning copy of it, like the San Andreas school rewards. The white Infernus is actually Lance’s car!

As I mentioned in the video, two Love Fist songs were featured on the V-Rock radio station, and both of them are fantastic: Fist Fury Dangerous Bastard There's also "Down Down Down" and "Fist Till Morning" which play during the radio commercial for their "Steel Heart Stone Cold Prostate Tour" and appear on the Love Fist EP on Apple Music and Spotify, but only "Fist Fury" and "Dangerous Bastard" have actual lyrics and were meant to be full songs. edit: When I used to host Rock Band parties and sang lead vocals, I'd often quote Jezz Torrent's lines from the BIG ROCK ENDING of "Dangerous Bastard" when one of the Rock Band songs had a big rock ending.

Infamous British rag The Sun had an interview with the band that recorded the Love Fist songs. They got 200 pounds each.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Big Mitch Baker voiced by the Six Million Dollar Man himself, Lee Majors? It sure sounded like him.

There are 9 purchasable assets, and you need to complete the mission chain for 7 of them to progress in the main storyline. Boomshine plays a major part in one of the assets (the only one that doesn't cost money to start) but the Love Fist bomb is the only time it's ever mentioned outside of these missions.

Oh if only I could tell you how many times I heard "That's not vodka, that's BOOMSHINE" when I was younger. So many failures on that mission. So. Many.

If you're talking about Phil, you can't access him until completing the Malibu quests, which is the most expensive asset.

Yikes that picture is goony. Kinda sad that Cam is the only one even remotely competent at his job, and we still need to hold his hand a bit to get the safe open.

There's a trick to making The Driver really easy, but it's the opposite of intuitive. Get a 4 or 5 star wanted level before you start it. Hilary can't drive with blown tires, and it is really easy to ensure that he gets caught in a spike strip. After that, you can just steal another car, hit the Pay-n-Spray, and drive through the checkpoints at your leisure.

That mission was always a pain for me. His car also ignored having trucks placed on the road that I put there. Just tore through them.

Here's a closer look at that keycard. I'm guessing it was a Rockstar developer or friend of theirs. And along with the mansion, that chalk stripe suit Tommy is wearing is a throwback to the classic Scarface last stand as well as a suit from an episode of Miami Vice:

chitoryu12 posted:And along with the mansion, that chalk stripe suit Tommy is wearing is a throwback to the classic Scarface last stand:  Also, Scalding Coffee suggested in their post before they edited it that there are actually two police cars in the PS2/PC versions that show up to ram you at warp speed at one point. That does actually happen in both the location they mentioned (which we do see in the video) and another, completely different location as you can see here:  As you can also see, the cop cars didn't show up during my attempt:  HOWEVER, this is NOT a modification made by Rockstar Vienna for the Xbox port, because other videos I found on Youtube of the PS2 version also don't have the sudden cop cars in that intersection. This screenshot is from a video showing the original PS2 launch version of Vice City (which can be identified by the song that plays during the mission cutscene, as that was changed from "In A Big Country" by Big Country in the launch version to "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five in all subsequent releases):  The bloom and motion blur in the PS2 shot are there because the player had the "Trails" option activated in the menu. It's an option on Xbox as well, but I turned it off because overblown bloom lighting and terrible motion blur just aren't very attractive. San Andreas on PS2 has a lot more post-processing effects and they can't be disabled, but they also look a lot better than the "Trails" in the prior games and I consider them an essential part of that game's presentation. Anyway, it looks like there's an element of randomness to the cop car spawns, at least at that particular location. Is the randomness intentional or is the game glitching out? Who knows? It could go either way.

I caught the wrong pair of cars and saw it happen on your video. Had to edit my comment. The first scripted encounter being where you can see your mansion in the background. I did check other videos and it is random if those cars will show up at two spots in the mission.

I always found it both amusing and annoying that two of the three bank crew members require you to prove you're better at their jobs than they are. Also love everybody shouting out their real first names at each other in the bank. Cam can die during the heist without mission failure, and the dialogue at the end suggests Tommy and Phil take bigger shares as a result, but the reward is the same either way.

It's the dumbest lack of foresight, because you could even justify bringing Cam along by having a timer until you break into the vault and needing to defend him. As it plays out, you could have just had Tommy go in with three of his mansion goons and the results would have been exactly the same.

 Episode 11: Inter Global Films (  )Tommy Vercetti, legendary motion picture producer. As for the spotlight mission, you can in fact use a helicopter to complete it but you still have to hit every checkpoint instead of flying straight to the goal.

GTA III had a lot of gangster movie guys, but it gave the GTA series enough clout to get a ton of very famous voices (even Candi Suxxx is voiced by Jenna Jameson) that continued through all the original games. Surprisingly, the change to a new platform with GTA IV seems to have resulted in a sudden loss in celebrity voice actors and even the latest game hasn't quite caught up (though they still maintain strict quality control so it's not noticeable).

 Episode 12: Taxi Drivers Must Die! Alternate title: Cabpocalypse Now On a technical note, I decided to render the last few videos at 1080p instead of 1440p because YouTube would always take a long time to process the latter and it was kind of a pain.

Can Boomshine Saigon give you a wanted level on its own, or was that a GTA3 mission (or just being careless and crashing in front of cops or otherwise)?

Driving drunk in GTA IV and V will give you a wanted level if the cops see you, but here I think it's just if you crash into a cop car or run over someone while you're weaving all over the place.

Kaufman cabs aren't just a reference to Andy Kaufman, the interior is laid out identical to the layout of the Sunshine Cab Company from the very old sitcom Taxi.

I assume when you tried to replace the SMG during the first Phil mission the game wouldn't change it since the crappy one is one of the weapons collected from the gun runners?

This is why it is always a good idea to do the Malibu first despite the cost. Phil's is a great way to get the Good Weapons if you haven't gotten enough hidden packages, and even with the packages the M60 is nearly unique - I think there's only one other place in the game to get it, and that's a pain.
