The "Holy Shit, That Was Cool" Thread

[Captain Eo]

Here's what isn't cool.

My friend starting a game and saving over mine.

[Dingle]

Did you kill him?

[Baddar]

Hearing on Weasel news about a murder that's taken place recently. Not normally classed as "cool," but it is when you know you did it.

[Kyle_]

Yeah, that happens a lot for me.

[Mountainous Cleavage]

Spoilers regarding a mission in this one, nothing too huge though.

While on the way to rob the bank in the Three Leaf Clover mission, 'I Get Money' plays on the radio the whole way. It was pretty ironic, and hilarious to both me and my brother.

I was jumping through the door of the Bohan safehouse, as I often do, and the door knocked a guy over. What was cool was, the guy was being chased by a cop and my intervention led to the apprehension of the perpetrator. I thought that was kinda cool.

I assume you mean "Where's My Money", because as far as I can tell "I Get Money" isn't in the game? Is it?

[Mountainous Cleavage]

If 'wheres my money' is the one that goes 'I get money, money I got', then yeah. If not, then no.

[Captain Eo]

Did you kill him?

No he had a horrifc accident and fell down a flight of stairs.

[MalaCloudy Black]

If 'wheres my money' is the one that goes 'I get money, money I got', then yeah. If not, then no.

Hm, yeah.. that sounds like "I Get Money" but I swear that song isn't on any of the GTAIV radio stations. The closest I've ever heard was Busta Rhymes' "Where's Your Money". Maybe it's a cutscene only deal.

[Mountainous Cleavage]

Wasn't even a cutscene, it was during the drive to the bank. Maybe it's a song that you get a chance of hearing during the drive?

Either way, bwahahahaha. Best way to die ever.

Started a new file because my brother took over mine and did an assload of missions, which I felt like doing (to get the full game experience). Just did the Ivan the Not So Terrible mission and (that mission spoiler ahead):

Spoiler: Click here to view

after killing Ivan atop the construction site building, throwing him off balance with my bullets causing him to fall to his death off the crane,

I phoned Vlad, and jumped over onto the roof across the street off the crane. I went to go hop off the roof onto the fire escape but I guess I undershot it and my legs clipped the railing, causing me to backflip down into a heaping mess of trashcans, killing me.

Gotta love the cop chases in this too. Can't even remember how it began but it was a good 45 minute chase in car, then on foot, running from the chopper around a ship for a bit dodging bullets until cops flooded the ship, but they left an exit unguarded and I took it, made a dash across the shipyard, hopped a cement wall and got onto the road, hopping into a car once again. They ended up getting me flipped, and after a short chase on foot I ended up in a cop car. Another decently long chase, up to 3 stars now and I'm dodging Police Hummers left, right and center. Well, by dodging, I mean surviving their suicide runs at you. It finally came to an end when I ejected myself from my police car, stole a Police Hummer but got shot through the window on the drive away for an epic 'NOOOOOOO!' ending.

Simpsons did it

[Clawson]

Anybody else let the cops shoot them to shit instead of being arrested? I like being able to keep my weapons thank you very much.

[oldskool]

You lose your weapons upon being busted? Man, I'm glad I always choose death by firing squad when I get held up by a cop.

[CQI13]

How much does it cost when you die and are taken to the hospital?

[oldskool]

I think it's $5000.

[Crybaby Bunting]

It seems like it's a percentage instead of a fixed value now

[tenaciousg]

Wasn't it always a percentage of how much you had?

[Guest deknegt]

i was driving full speed with a blista compact on the freeway above the water treatment island when i had to avoid ramming into a packing of cars so i steer right and slam into the safety blocks and i ricochet of the freeway like a discus and landed on the island slamming away 5 people until i stood still and just laughed a whole minute

[JStarr]

I know I got killed shortly after starting, when I only had about 50 bucks or so to my name, and I only got charged about 3 or 4 for medical service.

I don't care if the hospital takes thousands, I refuse to get busted.
