Grand Theft Auto IV

Electro-Choc, JNR, The Journey, Liberty Rock Radio, Radio Broker, Vladivostok FM, and PLR are awesome. I am not terribly impressed with Integrity 2.0 though, and I've not given most of the channels any further listening. I think I like IF99, K109, and Tuff Gong as well.

The Journey is seriously awesome. I was driving along the bridge between Dukes and Bohan one night and looking over at Algonquin all lit up, and something awesome was playing on The Journey, and it was beautiful. Like literally send-shivers-up-my-spine beautiful.

The Journey has a song/sound from Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy (the radioplay)
and also the matrix.

Is The Journey like instrumental stuff?

Yeah what's with that? He turned up near the safe house later on and asked me to drive him somewhere.

Outside of producing, does Lazlow actually appear on the radio?

Yup. Once you unlock Algonquin, a new radio station, Integrity 2.0, appears. That's Lazlow's.

Yeah, it's ambient.

Journey is okay. I hate reggae, jazz, funk, etc. I just want a decent rock station like V-Rock, K-DST or Radio X. Every single song was sing along fist pumping awesomeness. I just can't get into the stuff on Broker, LCHC and Liberty Rock. The songs on there are mostly bland and easily forgotten. The best rock song in the game that I've heard so far is Zhdat by Marakesh on Vladivostok and that says it all.

Still, apparently there's Queen and ELO on LRR (not that I've heard them yet) so here's hoping.

There's I think 3 missions in all with that guy. Then later on that one guy you see with Little Jacob, Badaman or whatever, has his own little missions pop up just like the previous guy.

Pretty neat and weird at the same time. Not sure how many characters in all will have those sort of missions for Niko.

Had the crackhead, Badman and Cherise as random missions for me so far. :monster:

The interactions between Roman and Vlad crack me up, "You should lose few pounds..." - "I know, im a fat prick!" lol.

Oh man, you get random missions from Badman? I should actually stop and check those out, I got so annoyed with the crackhead I just stopped caring. xD

I've heard Bob Marley, Elton John, and Smashing Pumpkins on the radio. That's good :skull::skull::skull::skull:.

I've done stuff for Badman, Cherise, and some random black rapper guy.

I just had an epic shootout on six stars, just hiding behind a dumpster in some alley and letting rip with the carbine. Jesus christ it was sick. Blind firing is all kinds of awesome, as is ducking beneath cover as you can hear the metallic wham of bullets slamming into your cover. I threw a grenade, and right as it was about to explode I popped up and unleashed a storm of lead into the cops and they all just start yelling "FALL BACK, FALL BACK! GET OUT IF YOU WANT TO LIVE!" Brilliant. Just brilliant.

The random details this game pulls out just when you think you've seen everything is awesome. I just bumped a guy's car, he gets out to give me a beat down, and I drive off just as he opens my door, leaving him hanging on for dear life as I power drive it down the street. In the end I did a handbrake turn and he went flying off into a wall.

I don't know how the hell I've done this, but I've managed to unlock the guy from GTA3's outfit. It was just there in my wardrobe, and I didn't get a message or anything. It's kind of cool making everyone's favourite Serbian dress like that, but I think the suit and tie is so much more badass.

Took Michelle bowling and 1979 by The Smashing Pumpkins came on. Greatest GTA experience ever. I've also lost count of the number of times I've ran out onto the road and been sent flying by a car.

Yeah that happened to me as well. I was pretty spun out by it. And I run with two of the casual suits personally.
