Oh, and I just sunk about $5-6K of Michael's money in to the stock market. Bought a $1 stock (cheapest you can), I bought the stock that tanks because *SPOILER*, and I bought some other cheap stock that was falling. I REALLY hope that all these stocks aren't predetermined, like I hope that XXX stock in EVERYONE'S game doesn't skyrocket, and XXX stock always sucks. I hope things YOU do in the game as well as randomness can change the stock prices, otherwise I am not going to be able to resist checking online to see which stocks I should buy so I can be a millionaire. I want the satisfaction of being good/lucky.

Is it time to make a seperate GTA 5 thread? I think it is. I got hella comments to make, and then we can set up some Soxtalk online gangs or whatnot. Anyone?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 17, 2013 -> 03:44 PM) Yeah - I let it install on my lunchbreak and will get a good two hours in before the wife gets home from yoga. I'd be shocked if I do any missions beyond the first "find your apartment" mission (if that's how it's set up yet again). It's not, at least not for Franklin and Michael. Not sure Trevor actually has a home (maybe a shack). I just finished up my last class of the day and got my interviews lined up for my news package tomorrow. I pretty much have 5 hours free ahead of me tonight, and then all day tomorrow after I shoot the package. I'm about to get taken to a dreamworld of magic***. *** 5 pts for anyone who knows the reference.

I actually find driving a lot easier in this one than in GTA 4. GTA 4 I was sliding all over the place, I couldn't make any turns without going about 1/4 speed, and I constantly hit everything. That may be more realistic, but it's much less of a pain to drive across the city when I can go 100 mph and still be able to weave in and out of traffic. I just dove out of the Atomic blimp at the highest I think I could go. I jumped out over the skyscrapers hoping I would hit one, but I missed them all and went splat on the street, it was gruesome. I've only actually accomplished 1 mission so far, despite playing for about 2 1/2 hours. The phone use is AWESOME. It was SO BAD in GTA 4, but in this one it is really slick and fast and useful. You can access your bank account, go on the websites, call or text friends and services, reply to emails (gives you choices of responses), take pictures, instantly save your game, and possibly other things I haven't notice yet. The nicest part may be that you use your controller to hit the buttons on the phone. This allows you to drive your car and use your phone, and it allows you go move through the phone so much quicker when you don't have to scroll through options.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 17, 2013 -> 01:01 PM) So only 1 year has gone by since the pilot? That's crazy. I wouldn't mind making $80M in cash in one year. Like 18-20 months have elapsed. Next episode we will jump to the 2-year mark.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Sep 17, 2013 -> 12:54 PM) S5E1 - Flash forward to Walt w/hair, at Denny's eating pancakes, putting the number 52 on his cakes with bacon. We will be returning to that moment in short order. Quite the bold prediction!

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 17, 2013 -> 12:04 AM) No reason to let go of Gillaspie. Cheap, left-handed, not a complete moron, and can be an average player for you. At worst, not a bad bench piece to play solid corner D and pinch hit. Yeah, Gillaspie is a fine bench player, as is JorDanks.

Downloading now. Got about 5 hours left, which is actually must faster than I thought, and faster than all those other PS3 games I spent downloading yesterday in today. Weird.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 11:07 PM) Is that the HBO documentary you are watching? Kuklinski was wired different than normal people, you could tell he enjoyed his work. I don't think so. It was this one.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5as9KjBBik

Interestingly enough, Alexei will end the season as the 7th best SS in baseball this season, with a WAR of about 2.7 Defensively, he will end up a top 10 defensive SS.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 01:36 PM) I still have to finish The Last of Us...but yeah f*** that, cause GTA V is going to be in my PS3 until I beat it. You are going to take it out once you beat it???? DOES NOT COMPUTE.

QUOTE (TRU @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 08:11 PM) Id hardly call any recent episode of Dexter great.. this season is awful and with one episode left, there's little chance they can wow me.. As soon as Dexter was trying to sell his boat and someone said "There is a big storm coming". I said "Holy s***, are they going to have Dexter die in a hurricane, or plane crash because of the storm". And then they mentioned the storm like 3-4 more times and then in the previews for next episode they show news reports on the approaching Hurricane. I swear, this is making me real nervous that it's going to be a joke of an ending.

I use both, a LOT. I like to think of Twitter as my stream of conscious, 90% of which is of no value. And I like to think of Facebook as my more "serious" outlet for ideas and making comments. Overall I find Facebook much more useful to communicate, share, and learn about people. Twitter I just use to find out instant info.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 01:15 PM) ...and while I'm at it, may I say to AMC, STOP trying to make Low Winter Sun happen, like fetch, it's NOT going to happen. They are trying SOOO incredibly hard to make that show work, but every little bit of it that I catch I just hate.

About 75 minutes away from the GTA 5 preload. I'm really hoping the servers don't crash and it will be downloaded fine by the time I wake up.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 15, 2013 -> 09:40 PM) My fantasy opponent has Kaepernick and Seattle D. One is taking from the other and things are looking good for me at the moment And you fantasy opponent, aka, ME, beats you by 0.6 pts because the 49'ers fumbled the ball on the kickoff a the end of the game. Kaepernick only got me 8 pts, but Seattle D scored me 22 pts. My DEFENSE led my team in pts this week and I won! lol

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 15, 2013 -> 09:37 PM) I need a shrink after that episode. Really? I was completely unphased, but maybe that's because I have had a whole week knowing that was going to take place. But the last 10-15 minutes of the episode was down right f***ing chilling and hard to digest. I was nearly shaking watching that.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 15, 2013 -> 09:12 PM) Southern League Champs.

Oh my god, I almost threw up my pot pie during scene. I think they filmed scene a couple of years ago when Dean Norris said they just filmed a "chilling scene" with Holly.

And just like that, the Indians bump Sale out of Cy Young contention. It's now just down to Scherzer, Felix, and Darvish. In 4 starts against the Indians this year, Sale has an ERA over 9. f***ing great. More reason to hate Nick Swisher and the rest of these f***s.

Anyone got a link? The only ones I have found have all been the TB Lightning preseason game for whatever reason.

After getting s***-talked all weekend by my buddy about all these great moves he made, I am now leading him by 38 pts. He has Brees, Fitzgerald, and Akers all going right now, so it's possible he could come back, but considering they are all about to be in the 2nd half, I am pretty damn confident right now. Can't wait to throw this victory in his big 6'8" face.
