Date played: October 24th
Platform: PS3
Session fun rating: 10/10
GTA V's quality just keeps on impressing me. It started with a very touching, if disturbing scene where Michael has a weird heartfelt conversation with his son Jimmy, who dropped in without warning. He convinced Michael to try and mend his relationship with Amanda. Along the way, they picked up Tracey who was trying to get a spot on Fame or Shame again. In an effort to help out his daughter, Michael roughed up Lazlow in a tattoo parlour. I pierced his face in three spots, tattooed a giant penis on his back and cut off his ponytail. We finally met with Amanda who was being annoyed with the dumb yogi. Michael then fucked him up to the cheers of his family. As a family, they agreed to consult Michael's shrink together. Hilarious dialogue ensued, people screamed and it seemed to actually help. The shrink had some bad news for Mike after the session, he's decided to make a TV show using stories from his patients. This of course, pissed Michael off, but I decided to let him off easy.
After all that, Trevor had an endearing encounter with Mary-Ann, the exercise freak that the other guys met earlier in the game. He obviously a crush on her, mainly because he finds her even more fucked up than him. We raced on bikes and Trevor won.
Michael and Franklin then started setting up the next heist. The FIB still isn't leaving our boys alone, so we started working on an elaborate scheme with Lester to stop the blackmailing. We needed to steal a hard drive from the FIB building. Franklin stole some the plans to the building from an architect, which helped Lester figure out our approach. I chose to go in by stealing a janitor's ID and clothes. Michael infiltrated the place, mopped the floor to blend in, and planted two bombs without a hitch. We then hid a getaway car, stole a fire truck and detonated the bombs. Dressed as firemen, we were the first response team. We took the stairs to the top floor, stole the hard drive and started making our way out. We lost one of our hired gunmen in an explosion and Franklin was left behind as he was knocked out by falling debris. When he woke up, he had to shoot his way out to meet his partners. It was a really fun and varied mission, and I got to wear a fireman uniform!
Michael then continued his work in the movie business, now as an executive producer. He first had to chase a guy, run him off the road and kill him, as he was messing with Solomon, the movie mogul. The next mission was a bit more complicated. Devin and his crazy chick are trying to buy Solomon's real estate so the lady steals the film reel Michael was working on. The next portion was a simply epic car chase. Cops were after both Mike and the lady while she raced like a madman to the airport. When she got there, she made a mad dash to the runways, resulting in some pretty explosions and police cars being blown into the air by jet engines. In a twisted turn of fate, the lady was then sucked into a jet engine herself, which ground her into a puff of blood. Good stuff.
