    No, I don't think CJ looks like a crack addict, it's probably just the way that the game engine portrays the characters and/or the models themselves. He looks normal to me.

    Anyways, I ran into a strange glitch on the Xbox version over the "Big Ear" My friend Shawn and I flew a Hydra over it straight into the sky until the game wouldn't let us go any farther then I bailed and let myself and the plane fall to the ground at terminal velocity.

    The plane hit the ground before me and bounced up slightly. This was about the same time the plane and I fell through the bottom of the level and floated around in 4D space until 'we' reappeared on Grove St. near CJ's house.

    This wasn't the glitched part, I know that 2 objects can't inhabit the same spot in videogames. Going upon this principle, the Hydra was half in half out of CJ's home and a car and could be climbed into but not flown.

    Has anyone even heard of this happeneing before? Or is my console screwed up?

    Just a little observation (PC version):

    Get next to the heli platform behind the Policestation in San Fierro (west side of it). To the north is a tall building with a row of small trees next to it. You have to set your Visual FX Quality to at least Medium so you can see shadows. The small trees next to the building are normal trees but their shadows are palmtrees.

    Not very mindblowing, but hé, It's an observation ;)

    I've had car tires get stuck in the ground outside the Malibu a lot of times. Wrong game, I know, and I have PC, but whatever.

    And objects often can inhabit the same spot, due to collision-modeling errors. I haven't seen much of it in San Andreas but my car has a tendency to get stuck on a phone pole in Little Haiti if I hit it fast enough.

    What do you mean you could get into the car but not fly it? To the best of my knowledge, most cars in GTA don't fly. Unless you use the cars fly cheat.

    Is it just me, or is your CJ a spitting image of a crack-addict.  Gut hanging over his belt but otherwise skinny, etc?


    Like I said, I think its just the 'shape' you have him in.  Is he overweight?

    She's talking about the Hydra not the car.

    Anyways; I tried to recreate that little incident an I just ended up with a dead CJ and a blown up Hydra. Did you fly the Hydra's nose straight up into to the sky or did you do a vertical take-off until it didn't go no higher??

    I stumbled on a way to get under the map (well a way I haven't read about yet). I discovered it by accident when I was looking for oysters. I have the PC version so no idea if this works on consoles.

    There's no cheating involved unless you don't have the yetpack yet. Just get the yetpack and fly to the north of Palomino Creek to the point where the two round ramps to the freeway come together (see pics below). You'll need to lower yourself into the ground (it's not solid) just behind the point where the ramps come together. I flew under San Andreas for a while then I ended up on the streets of Palomino at some point, without my yetpack. I guess I hit the ground or something.
    I'll try it some more to see if I just hit the ground or if the game just respawns you after a while.

    Well, I don't know if this has been discussed at other forums, but I have not found it mentioned in any strategy guides [or here, for that matter].

    While exploring in San Fierro, I came across a commercial building about 4 blocks North of the Wang Cars showroom [estimate].  This building has open doors on the corners [NorthWest corner, West and North faces], with a glass windowed front.  You can see sculpture and trees from outside.

    Upon entering the building, you notice the room to be high-ceilinged and 'airey', with a bank of elevators in the rear.

    These elevators are labeled according to the levels they service, with five total elevators visible on the Southern Wall.  The central Elevator has the following above: 'Secret Zombie Lab Only'.

    Across the room on a pillar [or two] is a diagram showing the building's shape and size, dictating that there is a massive chamber beneath the building itself.  This chamber is also labeled 'Secret Zombie Lab'.

    This is all an obvious parallel to the 'Resident Evil' series of games / movies and specifically the 'Umbrella Corporation'.

    Anyways, I thought it was cool, thought I'd bring it to your attention.  If this is 'new news', well, kudos to me.

    smile



    It's across the street from those three buildings on one lot. On the radar it looks like one solid block of white with a grey bar at the north part, representing the glass entrance. There's a sparrow on the roof, also.

    I did a search but couldn't find this 1:

    I was doing dates with Michelle Cannes (north San Fierro, the one with the pay'n'spray) and she said that her first car was a Perennial. So the next date I got a Perennial and went over to her place. She got in the car and took over the wheel! The next 2 minutes or so I was watching a cinematic view of her driving my Perennial like a maniac and me sitting on the passengers seat. At the end of her wild drive she parked in front of her door and I had a succesfull date without me having to lift a finger!

    It obviously only works when she wants to go for a ride and I did try other cars but then you just have to drive yourself. So if you're dating Michelle always show up in a Perennial and you should have an easy datingperiod.

    I like that Michelle anyway cause I dated her to 100% (wanted the racesuit) and she never once wanted to go dancing, I hate pressing stupid arrows and listening to even more stupid comments from the morons around CJ, always makes me want to rampage the club.

    Next time you're in Burger Shot, check out the three people sitting in a row opposite the Burger Shot employees- they all have identical and perfectly synced animations. Quite strange to watch. But, rather than eating some tasty beef, they appear to be eating large lumps of charcoal. I'm not sure if the Carbon Burger is exclusive to my particular PS2 disk, or if it's a universal glitch.

    Also, the cans from the Sprunk machines are upside down when CJ drinks them. OMG!!!!  wink

    CJ looks like the legendary blues musician Robert Johnson. He's the guy who supposedly sold his soul to satan on the crossroads in exchange for musical talents.

    Why the hell is the word c a r rendered as pirate ship?????? I undewrstand you can program these sites to replace certain words, but why the word c a r with pirate ship?
