Would you like a kitten?

It actually felt a bit strange to not post for one entire day. But of course, you all know I spent that time I could have used for posting to do something beneficial, such as homework or studying. Ok, you caught me. I used all that time to play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. I was having great fun last night. Great fun. And I've realized that I should never ever begin gambling in real life. Never. Ever. I went to Caligula's Palace and started gambling. I began on the roulette tables, but I hate roulette so I went and played Blackjack for an hour until my gambling skill was at 100%. Then I went and gambled away a few million, won a few million and lost it again at the $1,000,000 Blackjack table. Surprisingly, I didn't gamble any today. Instead, I did a bunch of missions and when I say a bunch, I mean, A BUNCH. For one, I did the last four Air Strip missions("N.O.E.," "Stowaway," "Black Project," and "Green Goo." The first mission was passing flight school.). Next I did "Saint Mark's Bistro"(twice actually, my plane kind of... exploded the first time >.>) Afterwards I ended up doing "A Home in the Hills," "Vertical Bird," and "Home Coming." Some missions get me extremely flustered you know? Take N.O.E. for example. In N.O.E., the objective is to fly a plane under the radar from Verdant Meadows(see the maps and whatnot here) all the way to Angel Pine. Its a hefty task as flying under the radar and staying there is tough. Thankfully, being under the radar changes depending on how elevated the land beneath you is. If its lower than you, then you better drop your altitude and if you're high above the ground with something like a mountain below you, then you're still under the radar, whereas if you were at that same altitude in a lower area, you'd be over the radar and you'd be being attacked by Hydra jets, definitely not a good thing as I've realized today. Not because I ended up getting attacked but because I got to fly one in the mission "Vertical Bird." Those things have heat seeking missles with auto lock-on target. A few hits from one of those you can kiss your ass goodbye. It took me at least ten tries to finally pass N.O.E. I kept screwing up because I'd accidentally flip the plane, hit something, crash, land in the water, blow the plane up or damage something on the plane causing it to fly incorrectly. I also learned that sometimes you have to ignore that annoying beeping that signals you're no longer under the radar. If only for a little while however. Only if I'm attempting to get to an area above me or to go over a few trees... I really need to make some kind of post in the San Andreas thread on OB. I've got so many things I'd like to say... but I can't do it right now and probably not for awhile(its 11:55 PM and I'm going to be real busy this weekend). Now to quickly check on a few other things and then head off to WordPerfect to type more of El Pistolla di un Assasino Part 1 Chapter 1! -DDG
