Brucie is a douche.

I take him out to dinner, and he complains the entire time. If I knew he'd be such a debbie downer I would have left him home so he could work on his abs.

I finally got rid of that piece of trash Roman gave me and got the yellow one from Playboy X

I only have it right now for a mission, does X take it back afterwards? It's a lot easier to see the messages with this phone, so hopefully I get to keep it. If not,

For those that might not be aware Rockstar has extended the 100% completion competition to May 19th, if you get 100% completion by then you will get a "key to the city". Not sure what that means exactly but figured I would post it for anyone not familiar.

No chance I do that.

I'm at a mere 34% finished.

It was for me, I'm extremely pissed right now. What ticks me off is he has been warned before for posting spoilers in this thread.

Wow. I am right with you, brother.
For the first time in nearly 6 years, I am truly reluctant to read a single word on a thread from this site.
Unbelievable.

Question / help regarding an achievement:

Spoiler

Alright, so has anybody done the achievement that requires you to melee kill 10 people in 4 minutes? Has anybody done it without getting a star or something on you? And, can you use a bat? Because I manage to get like 5 kills using melee before I get 1 star. Frustrating me.

Actually, same goes for the blow up 10 cars in 10 seconds or whatever. Do you just steal a bunch of cars and stick 'em in one parking space?

the 10 car in 10 seconds achievement is only hard because you will either have to block off traffic somewhere, or actually collect 10 cars together. I picked a secluded place, and got around 8 cars parked close together. When I was breaking into my 9th car, a pedestrian called the police, and the cops got on me quick. I had to go ahead and blow up the cars with grenades. So I blew up 8 cars and 2 cop cars for the achievement. I think you'll always draw attention stealing cars though.

for the melee one, it's melee counters. In most fights, you can get 3 counters in before either you die or the ped does. You can even die and keep doing it, which is why it's quicker just to beat up people in the hospital. Even missing some, it should be 3 or 4 fights.

It took me a couple tries but I really loved the mission where....

Spoiler

You and Playboy X get into a bad drug deal and have to shoot out the police and escape.

I do have a question about a mission though

Spoiler

Deconstruction for Beginners: The one at the construction site, please don't tell me the last union leader is in the helicopter or i'm toast (at least for a while)

Nope. He is somewhere on the platform; just snipe him.

Re: **The Official Grand Theft Auto 4 Thread**

So, Im stuck. I just jacked the "Faggio", which I assume is the moped looking thing, I go to the garage in Bohan and yet the door wont open, what am I doing wrong here? Im pretty sure its the right one, cant compare to the picture since its so dark, but it was on the same street and a vaguely remember something coming across the bottom of the screen when I jumped on it but becuase the cops were after me I didnt pay much attention to it. Is there a secondary garage that Im not familiar with or is there something Im not aware of that I need to do prior to delivering it?

EDIT- Apparently you have to steal the exact one I guess, I had the same exact moped but because I didnt get the one in the specific location apparently it threw it all off, ohh well, got it delivered finally.

Re: **The Official Grand Theft Auto 4 Thread**

Finished all of Stevie's 30 vehicle finding missions along with all 10 of Brucie's email ones. They are all pretty easy and risk-free but financially rewarding (well mainly Stevie's) but Stevie's ones are also very time-consuming depending on the vehicle's location. For those doing Brucie's email ones, each time you deliver one vehicle, you don't have to wait for a text from Brucie to let you know of another email...the new email is already in your inbox. And the Tw@ Cafe in Bohan is just a 30-second drive from Brucie's garage, so you can finish all of these off very quickly.

Once you finish all of Stevie's 30 missions, you can still sell him any cars you can find (except public service vehicles i think...he refused to accept a taxi, but i got $2200 for a Trashmaster). Most generic gars net you $1800-2500 dollars in perfect condition, the most i received was $7000 for a Cavalcade...i haven't sold him an exotic/sports car yet as i was just testing it out by jacking cars right outside his garage and driving them straight in lol.

I also got arrested for the first time last night (48 hours into the game), trying to make a getaway from the police in a car on 2-stars after blowing up a securicar Lost all my grenades and rocket launcher ammo, but with $800,000 in the bank now i should be able to recover them all!

Time to focus on finishing the story now. I'm at 62.27% with 79 missions complete. I got a 2% increase after completing Stevie's 30th delivery and another 2.5% increase after completing Brucie's 10th mission btw.
