Session fun rating: 10/10
I played a shit ton of GTA V... It all started with a typical mission, a drug deal gone wrong. Franklin heads to an abandoned building to trade some drugs with another gang, some purple wearing gangsters (The Saints?). Shit goes wrong, people get shot, cops show up. You know the drill.
I then switched over to Michael, who gets angry at his lazy, video-game playing son. He smashes the teen's television in an effort to make him more productive. Oddly enough, this situation turned into an awkward father-son bike ride. On the way, Michael's son mentions that his sister is on a nearby yacht with some porn stars and porn producers. Michael swims to the yacht, knocks a dude off of it and runs away with his daughter on a jet ski. Of course, this ends up being another chase, but this time, through the shallow canals of Los Santos.
After the mission, I stopped and did a few side jobs as Franklin. I towed some cars for Tonya and her good for nothing boyfriend and completed all available races. As Michael, I completed a triathlon, an epic race that includes swimming, cycling and running. I finally headed to the next mission. Lester is one of Michael's old crime buddies. He is willing to help organize the heist that will pay off the owners of the land-slid villa, but only if Michael is willing to infiltrate a local cell phone company and sabotage it's latest prototype. After a brief shopping spree (to fit in), he infiltrates the place, pretends to fix a computer by closing pop up windows and running an anti-virus, then replaces the prototype. The instructions from Lester specified that I should call the cell phone when the CEO is presenting it to the public on television. When I did, the CEO's head was blown off. Tragic.
Finally, we were ready for the heist, I just had to scope out the place, get a few supplies and pick my crew. We decided to rob a jewellery store and chose a quiet approach, to avoid police. I stole an exterminator truck and some dangerous gas. Then I picked a driver, hacker and gunman from the available henchmen. We then dropped the gas in the store, knocking out everyone, rolled in with gas masks, stole a bunch of jewels before the alarm went off and escaped on motorcycles. My gunman went down, losing a quarter of the take with him, but everyone else made it out alive and richer. We paid off the dudes and had enough money leftover for a bit of spending money. This was easily the coolest mission yet.
The game then cuts to Trevor for the first time. He hears of Michael through the television and swears to catch him. Trevor is one crazy motherfucker I'll tell you what. He scares anyone that meets him, he orders his minions around as Bowser would and is a complete pervert. He's also a redneck who lives in a trailer park. While one of his henchmen is looking for Michael in Los Santos, he decides to take over the entire drug trade business in the rural areas of San Andreas. He starts by going on a mission to eliminate The Lost, the bikers from the GTA IV episodes. Right after that, buys a sniper rifle with silencer and goes to town on the bikers at a nearby airfield. This was a crazy mission, I sniped a bunch of dudes, then we stole two planes and ran the fuck away. As a result, properties are now available for purchase.
I stopped doing missions here and did about 8 off road races, most with ATV's and dirt bikes and a couple with trucks and buggies. I also did two triathlons. The first wasn't a big deal, but the second is an epic stroll around almost the entire map. I swam, cycled and ran for about 30 minutes straight...only to lose in the last stretch. On the bright side, I greatly improved Trevor's stamina...
