Okay, so last time in Liberty City, Niko had just found out that Vlad was doing the wild thing with Roman's girl, who is also a friend of Michelle. I didn't think it would end well and it didn't. The pixelated crap hit the fan. Roman apologised on behalf of his girl. Niko just got infuriated and set of to give Vlad a piece of his mind. The end result? You end up on a bit of wasteland next to the river pointing a gun at Vlad with the option to cap him in the head or not. Have to admit, not sure what the whole angry drama was, Roman's girl is a free agent, but Vlad sure is annoying, so I took him out. This lead to a series of events that got me involved with the next tier of criminals in Niko's world only to kill someone else for that boss due to hum having anger management issues.

I suspect this is going to cause much drama also.

The Michael Mann stuff has kicked in. I've done the odd job for Little Jacob who, you guessed it, ain't little. I also never understand a word he's saying. It's a good job the game provides 'mission' instructions otherwise I'd be at a complete loss. He likes Niko to pick-up packages and drop them off. The trouble is they always go wrong. In one a group of gang members was waiting for me resulting in a shoot out in an alley. Another caught me in a police sting operation resulting in a Michael Mann style shoot out in a city park followed by a serious police chase. They don't like it when cops go down. It was epic stuff. I liked the fact the police kept shooting as I dived into my car, the windows exploding as I drove away. It was a great car chase, followed by another street shoot out and then another car chase, they must have then got bored.

I was hoping to reach the end of chapter one, but the game was refusing to give me the next mission on the main story. I assume it will do eventually. This meant I've filled my time doing some some taxi driving for Roman and the much riskier stuff for Little Jacob.
