The New Year and More San Andreas

It's been quite a while since my last post, and lots has been happening in the land of San Andreas. I now own an abandoned airstrip in the desert outside of Las Venturas (Las Vegas area). At the airstrip is a huge hangar that I can store cars and planes in, it generates up to $8,000, and lots of cool vehicles now spawn there including a jetpack, a transport helicopter (I have yet to find how to get the apache to spawn there), a WWII type fighter plane, and most fun of all is a Harrier fighter plane (called a "Hydra" in the game, it has vertical takeoff and landing and fires missles!). I've had quite a lot of fun flying around San Andreas in my Harrier, turning on hover mode and unleashing volleys of missles into the streets, what's cool is when you have three stars (wanted level) from causing chaos in the Harrier, other millitary jets come after you and start firing missles at you so you have to be careful and shoot them down first. Other fun things I've been playing with in the game include: Gambling in the casinos of Las Venturas (slots, video poker, roulette, and blackjack), and just last night I discovered a bar in San Fiero that has a pool table you can play against the computer or even two players. The depth of the game never ceases to amaze me, and being able to still discover new things to do in the game after putting in countless hours is evidence of that fact.

Well, happy 2005! May the new year bring you and I sucess and fortune, and may all our Malibu beach house wishes and Ferrari dreams come true!
