Then I ran. The city was empty, it was creepy. I hit out for a whilee and got the 5 minutes at 6 stars achievement. Then I started walking arorund and found 2 helicopters that crashed at the bottom of the street. Then one exploded and I ran for like 4 blocks and finally found a few cars stole one and died trying to escape the cops.

). No one but cops, but if you go to the top of the Empire State Building and manage to jump out on to the building, there are some people on the observation deck. I was above them and couldn't see them, but when I took out the police choppers with an RPG, I could hear the screaming.

IGN has an incomplete, but cool Google map hybrid as well: http://grandtheftauto.ign.com/maps/1/Liberty-City-Map

Has anyone else watched much TV in this game? I watched the entire "I'm Rich" show last night and thought it was hysterical. "Republican Space Rangers" wasn't all that funny though.

But searching around the establishment will offer up another reward that Mike was concerned about.

I'll have to head back. When all the bouncers rushed me I didn't stick around, I just bolted.

I took Michelle on a date to the strip club. I ended up going up on stage and was rushed by bouncers. I made it to the front door, but another bouncer came in, so I was trapped. I pulled out my Uzi and started spraying the place. Michelle ditched me, and I ended up being arrested. It was days before Michelle would go on another date with me. She kept saying that she was disturbed by what I did. lol

I just beat up all the bouncers after I went on stage. The place cleared out, and that's when I found the gun. What was weird is that when I went back there, and I got a lapdance, suddenly there was a ruckus at the end of it, and the bouncers came in. Was it because I had a gun on me? I mean, I wasn't brandishing it or anything.

Here's a neat little thing to do in single player:
You know your first safe house? When you are outside of it, start a fight or two, get the cops attention. When cops show up, kill one or two, or enough to get 2, maybe 3 stars. At this point, retreat up the stairs and turn around, aiming down it. Whenever cops come in tear their shit up. Cop after cop. and when you are low on health, retreat into your room quickly and save at your bed. When you wake up, all your stars are gone and you have a shit ton of weaponry to take from the fallen police.
"My God! He's just killed twenty of our best officers! I want this guy. I want this guy bad. Oh, oh, wait. He's going into his room. Wait, he's asleep. Well, we can wait 'till he wakes up."
[6 hours later]
"What was I doing?"

Has anyone tried to call or order any weapons from the home shopping channel? I just thought about doing that today at work.

Which airport? I have been there 3 times and all I see are empty heli-pads. I promptly get a 4-star level, but no heli.

I'm so tempted to pick this up but my XBox flakes out from time to time on some games and just locks up(and MS won't fix it for free as it's not doing the RROD yet). I'd hate to plop down 60 bucks only to find it freezes. Tried to rent it but of course not a copy in stock.

I'm 9% into the game, about 7 hours, and haven't even found or picked up a weapon yet, except a brick.
Hint on the pistol

I felt like a real moron after that mission. I must've been in front of that jewellery store for at least 15 minutes throwing that brick at the door. I was wondering why the damn door windows wouldn't break, and then finally figured out I was supposed to throw it through the window. 
I'm %12.56 so far after around 5 hours of playing. How's everyone else doing? If you've done some of the later missions, how hard does it get?
I've noticed one flaw though...

Well I figured out what to do with the hookers wiseguys, you can change your sig!
Loving this game--Get it for your 360, they've really streamlined their turnaround time for repairing consoles (probably fixed most of them by now). I was offline only 10 days door to door round trip.

Awesome.
