I just got home, will be watching the Pens game tonight but I will snap the friends list around 9 to see when everyone is there and then I can just snap the hockey game when we are playing, love that feature. :)

After the connection snafus to start every evening, this continues to be the most entertaining thing I do online each week.

Swan dive 35 feet into a concrete platform? Check.
Accidentally using a non-silenced weapon in a stealth mission? Check.
Attempting to keep the helicopter semi-level for the gunners to shoot down pursuing choppers? Failing, but Check.
Pulling off a SEAL team-style raid with synchronized trigger pulls to stealthily wipe out a whole base---only to fail because one of us couldn't climb a mountain in the right direction? Check.

I still think the best part of it is that all four of us find ways to screw up a mission, and we keep learning and getting better with each failure. It's almost like Dark Souls with guns, and partners.

I don't know how that happened, we were all going in the same direction and the next thing I know I'm all alone and didn't have time to backtrack to the other direction.

We all had enough screw ups to not point fingers. I just found it a funny moment, especially since we were all celebrating and digitally chest-bumping each other...only to get a failed message.

I think my dancing-around-on-a-rooftop-and-alerting-the-last-living-guard moment was the snafu of the night. We should have had that thing beat ten times over.

However, I vote that next time we just run up the f'n street. I bet it's fast, and when I heard "a squad is incoming", my instinct was to get off the road. I never saw a squad, though.

I thought maybe we could take out that patrol car and use that to escape. May be difficult or impossible to do that and not raise an alarm though. I should be on later.

Whatever they did to Live for the One, reverse it. Fail.

If I'm home in the evening, for sure. I'll hop onto the XB1 when I'm at home, so if you see me online, I am good to go.

The game that just keeps on giving. Seriously GTA or Red Dead games will always be a day one purchase for me because of Rockstars continued support long after the games release.

I started playing through GTA V again on the PS4 after finishing MGS V. Just forgot what an incredible game world this is.

I was driving in the countryside and a guy on a motorbike was coming towards me, I accidentally flipped on my high beams and the blinding light made him swerve.

Shooting/combat could be way better and the story has the typical Rockstar issue of being several hours too long, but still a great game.

Such a great game. I think it would've been lauded much more if so many people didn't already have their minds made up about the series.
