As Michael I went to his house and the bratty daughter was whining about how sad she was. I gave her $50 "you're the best dad ever!". Followed by "do you have any blow?" :lol:

I've put a few hours into the game and I don't think I've seen a single cop patrolling the streets. Kind of odd.

He was hoping it was a maneuver he could try to pull off on his next trip to the local bath house.

He also noticed when I didn't buy a haircut. :(

I see them from time to time.

I saw the cops with their lights on, chasing after another car. I tried to steal another car just so I could catch up to them, but they were gone too quickly, so I didn't see where they went.

In one of the early missions where you have to tow the car back to the police station, after I was done I went walking around and there were two cops standing by the doorway to the PD, I walked by them to see if I could go inside (couldn't), I then just stood there looking at them for several seconds and for no reason at all the suddenly draw on me and "bust" me. WTF? Is it illegal to stare at a cop or something?

Can't wait for Take 2 to call it a failure.

I apparently chose a barber on the wrong side of town because while I was waiting for the previous customer to finish up five rival gangbangers sauntered in and killed my ass. I now have a serious haircut phobia and Lamar can suck it if he doesn't like my 'do.

I follow them to try to get guns off of bodies, usually what ends up happening is they chase for awhile..then stop and shoot at each other until one side is dead.

I'm able to take pictures now (even that wasn't working last night), but still can't save/upload them. It actually froze my entire system the last time I tried.

Does anyone know if the stock market is based on external factors from Rockstar or is it in-game only? I kept trying to access it earlier and was getting a "down for maintenance, check back later" message.

I did the boat mission with Franklin and Michael, and at the end I'm playing as Franklin at Michael's house, so I take one of the cars in the driveway. About a mile away from the house, I get a text from Michael saying, "Really? My daughter's car? You're a dick!" :lol:

Also, I went to a therapy session as Michael (for which they charged me $500), and then stole the therapist's car, and so far it's one of the best cars in the game. Acceleration is exceptional, and the handling is very good. I took it so a Los Santos customs and got it souped up and now it's even better. Saved it in my garage.

Did you go back to therapy? I wonder if he'll ask where his car is :lol:

I was hoping he'd call or text, because he called Michael earlier, asking him to come in for a session.

From what I have read there are two stock markets. One that is affected by your in game actions and another that is affected by the community

Not surprised..seeing the lines of 100-200 people at each gamestop at midnight. etc showed the demand on this game.

Or that there were 5 people in line buying it at Best Buy Tuesday morning, as opposed to a typical morning when there's no one in line.

Where is the bank in Los Santos? Saw a way to make some money (not a cheat, maybe a little gamey though)
