san andreas weirdness

Two things today:

a: I'm on foot by the huge cliffs above Bayside (up left on
map) looking for some nice jumps, blasting away choppers
with my minigun. I've had 6 stars now for maybe 30mins, so
the choppers come in pairs, sometimes side by side. Finally
I get bored, so I jump off a cliff into the sea. No worries
so far. This is the weird thing. I see a chopper floating in
the water, so I go and stand on it. Suddenly the main rotor
slowly starts spinning. WTF? I'm still standing on it and
BOOM! it explodes one final time and takes me out. Cop
ghosts got the last laugh.

b: I saw a cab do the motorbike stoppie-move. It kept going
and going, like it was going for a record. This was by the
farm with the monster truck.

I love this game. Too bad all I got left is the sad
Z-missions in Fierro.

you've not yet finished the game, and yet you're able to
handle 6 stars for 30 mins

right

I have finished the story. Anyone can handle six stars for
30 mins up in the mountains above Bayside. All you get there
is choppers. I didn't escape six stars, which is a bit
harder.

Also, when I say the rotor started spinning, I mean there
was engine sound, like it was starting up. Sometime in
Fierro, my car and other cars in the game have dived
straight into the pavement. It can happen at steep hills
when you land at the foot. I've also seen pedestrians walk
knee deep in asphalt. This was near the restaurant at Gant
bridge.

Yeah it's not that hard to hole yourself up somewhere and
make it really hard on the cops. I used to pwn waves of them
by barricading myself in one of those multi-story car parks.
They didn't stand a chance.

And it's true that something interesting happens everytime I
play San Andreas. It's fun.

One of my favorite Interesting Events.

I have no idea why but I had better fun playing Vice City.
San Andreas is clearly superior in every way, but I guess
I'm a sucker for Miami Vice.

Paco: I had a similar encounter with a chopper. Although
mine happened right after I got loose of the police (I think
4 stars). I walked to a helicopter which apparently had
landed on the street when the persuit stopped and it
exploded after giving out the sound of engines turning off.

i like flying in a car to that mountain, using a jet pack to
fly up, using a bike to jump off then the parachute to glide
back down, then use my uzi to kill a passing bikie and drive
really fast on the othr side of the road while listening to
"I care because you do" :)

In LC and VC you really are just a punk among others, but
have you noticed how in SA everything seems to be revolving
around the player? Stand next to a highway and it won't take
long for chaos to break out. There's more police chases
going on too, more pedestrians fighting each other and so
on.

One time I was under the large pier in Los Santos. A cop car
skids off the road, the one crossing below the pier (I think
it was the pier). The cop gets stuck and can't navigate his
way out. So I stand there watching him and I'm about to go
up to him and put him out of his misery, when the
'leg-warmer chick' runs up to the cop car, pulls the cop out
and punches him :) Of course the cop just killed her and
then calmly left his car there. It was just as if the chick
was thinking the same as me, 'just put it in reverse you
stupid idiot!'
