Now I've found out that there's a hovercraft to get after you beat the game. It's supposedly behind Madd Dogg's mansion in Vinewood. That makes a freakin HARRIER and a now a mother f-ing HOVERCRAFT. What the hell is this? This is the greatest game ever.

Besides Big Foot and UFO sightings in San Andreas, there's some other stuff. I have heard about underwater nuclear submarines, meeting Carmen Electra (probably the weirdest one), and seeing Master Chief and Samus driving around (change that, this one's the weirdest). What the hell is going on?

There's been a lot of talk on the message boards about Big Foot being seen pushing Glendale's off a cliff in Shady Creeks and UFO's in the sky near the moon. Someone even showed a picture of his/her CJ on a motorcycle on some paved road out in the countryside and a big ass yeti was on the side of the road where people normally walk!

Don't really know what to make of it, I mean it could be fake, could be real. Either way, I aint gonna find out for a while because I'm grounded :(

I am currently playing as Sun Jian in the History of Heroes scenario and the forces have been cut down to me holding half of Jingzhou and the Southland, Liu Bei holding the other half of Jingzhou and the Riverlands, Zhang Lu holding Han Zhong, Ma Teng holding every city from Chang An' north, Cao Cao holding the entire north (except for one city), and Tao Qian holding that city in the north and 1 other. Me Liu Bei and Cao Cao each have about 500,000 men.

Alright I think it's time for me to deviate from San Andreas for those who have grown tired of it (I sure as hell haven't)

For some reason when I saw Romance of the Three Kingdoms 9 in stores I was intrigued to buy it. Thank God I did. Being a big Dynasty Warriors fan and knowing just about everything that happened in the Three Kingdoms era, I have to say that this game does the best representation of it.

For one, I have had this game about a year but it never grows old for me. I love it.

So far in my 35+ hours of playing San Andreas, I've done roughly half of the missions available and haven't even laid eyes on Las Venturas yet.

The missions and mission variety in San Andreas is staggering. My personal favorites so far is the mission where you have to help Big Smoke take down the russians in the mall and then shoot them down on a motorbike while Smoke drives.

I also like the mission where you have to swim to the boat in the waters of San Fierro and silently kill all of the Da Nang Boys.

This is likely to change though, because like I said I haven't even been to Las Venturas yet.

I've made a list of some of the things you can do in San Andreas for any doubters or haters out there.

Home Invasion missions

Trucking missions

Hunter Quarry missions (don't know exactly what these are, haven't made it that far yet)

Car modifications

Customize CJ to your liking (working out, buying clothes, haircuts, and tattoos)

Fly passenger airplanes

Spray paint 100 tage across Los Santos

Go parachuting

Wage gang wars

Swimming (finally)

Take photografs, find oysters and horseshoes (sounds dumb but unlocks something really cool when you find them all)

Dozens of hidden vehicles and airplanes

More than 35 houses to buy across state and many business to buy

I've made it to the countryside and I just got to say again this state is freakin huge. The first mission that you do out in the countryside involves you climbing the enormous Mt. Chiliad (I recommend usind a Sanchez dirtbike).

I must have spent ten or fifteen minutes climbing Mt. Chiliad before I reached the spot I had to go to. I wonder how high the mountain really is. I guess I'll check it out once I'm able to fly airplanes.

This place is freakin huge. I find out that I only explored less than a quarter of Los Santos and it turns out to be bigger than or equal to Vice City already. I really love to wage gang wars and take gang turf. I wonder what will happen when I take all of a gang's turf, if they will stop appearing on the streets or not.

Anyway, I'm building up a nice collection of cars that I've modified to be street racing cars for some of the races that are scattered across the state.

October 27, 2004

I finally got San Andreas after waiting months for it. I thought I had a pretty good idea what to expect from it but man was I wrong. When I actually got to playing it, I was immediately blown away at just how big everything in this game really is. Now (as of November 5, 2004) I have about 35 hours recorded on this game and have only completed 26.35% of the entire game.

I have already experienced many of the mini games and extra gameplay elements that are out there but I am anxiously waiting to find out what else is hidden in this massive state (if I can ever get un-grounded).
