Had a bash at the basketball the other night, those are the nice little touches that make the game so special...
Think this evening I shall purely be concentrating on making as much money as possible so I can buy a new house...

Jaybird-UK - Just keep up with the train as much as you can, keep an eye on whether your shots are hitting the blokes on the train, a little practice and you will get them pretty quickly

Ok i wont tell you that you "Pimp your ride" with paint job, hydraulics, NOS, exhausts etc, etc, etc
Been playing it for over a week solid now and only hit 21% of the game, only done the first couple of missions in San Fierro
First game where i have enjoyed watching the cut scenes, especially Samuel L Jackson and Chris Penn as the two bent coppers
Sex appeal and Girlfriend progress dropped dramatically when i got a pimp suit and a pink mohican, wonder why

Had my first blast on this last night. Thought it was great..so much to do. My only niggles are the graphics are starting to show their age a bit now (maybe I've been playing too much XBOX recently) and I find the onscreen map hard to see.
Managed to jump into the airport and fly the Cessna too. Got a long way out into the country before getting wiped out!
Think it's going to take me ages to progress as I'm so cack handed .. I had 3 tries before I did the first mission on the BMX's!

I made him eat loads of Pizzas and burgers to make him fat last night then accidently saved over my proper game save 
Luckily I'd made a backup but that's a couple of days out It was funny watching this big fat guy that can't jump punching down fences in just his underwear
I thought it'd raise my sex appeal but it didn't work for some reason

It's the round building in the downtown area. Look up, it's the tallest one. Entrance is on one of the corners. Getting the parachute then stealing a plane is good fun, jump out over your house and try to land at your door.
I won a **** load on the horses only to lose it all later. Once you're into gang wars the money seems to just roll in anyhow.
I'm hoping I'm on the last mission in Los Santos now, I managed to do the motorbike one, but it took a lot of attempts.

I'm stuck on this motorbike mission where your chased by russians on motorbikes. Then you get a terminator 2 bit where a truck starts chasing you. The bike always gets blown up soon after that.

On the horses I did the following last night after seeing it on another forum:
Save the game, then go and bet all your money on the weakest horse, if it wins your quids in. If it loses then just reload the game and try again. Keep doing this and you can really make some serious money... I managed to get the weakest horse to win twice and currently have over a mill....
