GTA IV Stories - Page 9

So I'm doing the mission where the goons kidnap Roman and you have to shoot it out in the warehouse. Thanks to covering and a nice amount of headshots, I'm still at full health and armor. I see a group of goons clustered together, and I think it's time they ate grenade. So I toss it, it bounces off of the little sliver of a pole attached to the half-wall I'm hiding behind, and lands at my feet. I managed to dive away, but the rest of that mission was nail-biting, since I had half health and no armor as a result.

Also, when I did the last mission of Jacob's drug deals, I had just handed off the package to the guy in the garage and the auto-save kicked in. I hopped back in that sweet ride Jacob set up for me, and as I'm backing out of the garage, my car blows up, killing me. "WTF" I think, "Jacob's not the kind to double-cross me!". So after I get out of the hospital, I go to check out what happened. I drive back to the garage, and as I'm backing out my friend noticed that there's a propane tank next to the door inside the garage. I had jumped into the car and started driving without giving Niko enough time to close the door, so as I drove out of the garage, I pinned the propane tank between the garage wall and the car door. Oops.

So I was just screwing around, went to the crane in Algonquin near the Times Square area. Figured I'd climb up, do some sniping. Anyway, after knocking off like 6 or 7 people, the cops send the chopper. So I wait patiently for this thing to arrive, take out the RPG/Bazooka thingee and line up my shot. Granted, this thing is a good ways away. So it steadies to start shooting at me, I lead it a bit and take it out. The fucking flaming wreckage comes flying right at me, knocking me off the crane and sending me to my death. Then as I lay dying my gun fires, hitting someone (I wish I could've seen if I killed them, but I was dead. Alas.)

It's the things like that (oh and laying grenades down in traffic at a red light. classic!) which keep me coming back for more.

We don't play too much anymore, but my friends and I came up with a game in Free Mode called "Knife Tower". Basically, one person is at the top of a tower, and tries to knife people who climb up the tower. Whoever can dethrone the person that is at the top of the tower then assumes his role. Really simple, I know, but hilarious with several people.

Shot an Angel of Death in the junk, he feel on a burning propane tank. Tank explodes, sending him into traffic. Ambulance in the middle of traffic smears him.


I like to think of it as Rube Goldberg presents "Meet Joe Black".

EDIT: To stay on topic. It was while I was playing Co-Op with someone that I thought was a Chewer. If you were playing with me on Friday. Let me know. That's my GTA IV story for now.

Wrong thread

No, it isn't.

I shot a fat guy with huge beard and heard a ped yell "Santa no.."
